Anyone Interested In Joining A Keeper League?

[R. Rich]

For those who are interested in joining the keeper league's first year, I will need your $25 entry fee mailed in to me by August 13. I can also set it up for PayPal, if you don't want to send a check or money order. Send me a PM for further details.

Is it a new league? If not, how do you decide on your keeper for new people? How many keepers per team? What is the payout breakdown?

This will be the first year. The league will be on CBS Sportsline. We plan on having a winner-take-all cash prize of $100, covered in the entry fee. I'll have to check with CBS to see if there's a payout for placing, but I don't think there is. I've wanted to start a keeper league for the past couple of years, so hopefully we can get enough people. As of now, we don't have but a few. If enough people don't respond, I'll have to just refund the fees I've been sent and try to do one next year.

So you get to keep 1 player each year? I'll play. PM me your address and I'll send you a check.

More than likely, it will be 3 or 4 players by each team designated as 'keepers'. I'm sending you a PM in a few minutes.

I imagine the rest goes to CBS Sportslines as registration fees.

Yep. The league will cost anywhere from $130 to $150, depending on how long it takes to get everyone registered. Right now, we need about 4 or 5 more people to send in their fee. If I can get all the fees in time, it will save us $20.

[R. Rich]

Counting those who have already paid and those who have said they are sending in their payments, that makes 9. We still need 1 more player.

would'nt it be better to go with one of the free sites like yahoo so there is more winnings to go around?

[B-DON]

thats what i was thinking and can i still get in? we should use yahoo so we can win more money or at least give cash prizes for 2nd and 3rd place winners

Sure, you can join. Putting the league over on Yahoo! might not be a bad idea. If we do that, we will have prizes for runnerups also.

I'll get my check out tomorrow RR. I've been busy

Check or money order will be okay. I have a PayPal account too, if you want to go that route.

I'll set the league up tonight and post the details.
