Sweet!  4-6 more teams and we're good.</p>

How intensive is this going to be? Time wise... I like FF because there aren't a lot of games, and I had to finally quit Fantasy Baseball because people gave up halfway through because there were too many games and too much going on. I tried NBA and NHL before but it was just random leagues and those folks quit halfway through too.</p>

Great! ! We need 1-3 more teams.


Thinking $25 entry fee. We can use leaguesafe.com to manage payments.

I have no problem paying for fantasy sports, I'm just not good enough to do fantasy hockey and honestly, the sport is not a very good one to do competitively. Not enough stats, and too many subjective stats have to be used to fill in the gaps. It makes it very hard to be anything other than lucky, especially with the amount of injuries there now are, at least that was the way it was last time I played. There was no real good easy way to set up the rules.</p>

Holy fuck its $25.... didn't ask you to take a 2nd mortgage out on your house.


Getting money involved ensures people don't slack off mid season.


$25 is like 2 hours of work for any someone who scrubs toilets.


If you can't swing that then I just don't know.


You do realize that people spend hundreds of millions of dollars on fantasy sports per year, right? Not like this is a new thing.


Bunch of fun suckers in here.

I'm well aware of the insane amount of money people spend on this. And anyone can swing 25 bucks. It's the principle of the matter for me. I'm not paying to play a pretend sport.</p>

$25 is not the problem. My FF is $50, it's the fact that fantasy hockey is a complete crapshoot and not worth throwing money at.</p>

Well it's kind of a dumb principle to hold.</p>


 </p>


You're not paying to play a pretend sport (which doesn't make any fucking sense).</p>


 </p>


You're paying so there can be a purse to pay the winners.</p>


 </p>


It's how gambling works.</p>

I didn't think it was a money league, thought it was just for fun. If that was said up front, wouldn't have even bothered. I'm not paying money to play fantasy league, sorry.</p>
