There's more to fantasy life than football! Minority sports like hockey have a following at BGG as well, so I gather we could with some effort put together a fantasy league.
I've set up a free Yahoo league, rotisserie (for full settings see below) with 12 teams. First come - first serve. We'll do a live-draft (Sun Sep 21 13.00 CDT)-because, really, fantasy leagues need live drafts.
I'd suggest we'd wager in some GG to up the excitement, 5 GG per head. Either I'll put the gold in my safe until the league ends or I can ask Jimmy the Geek the self-proclaimed bookie of BGG to do it. But anyhow don't pay anything until the league has filled up! I'll be in contact once the league is set about paying.
60 GG would be distributed as follows:
League Champ - 30 GG
2nd place - 20 GG
3rd place - 10 GG
