Football (American) season is almost here, and it's time to play some fantasy football! Are you in? 

I've decided to host a new NFL fantasy football league for Scorum members only. This contest is free to enter, but spots are limited and will be given on a first-come first-served basis. This season-long league will be hosted on ESPN.com, and you will need to have or create an account and follow along with the rules below. 

Rules 

This contest is just for fun, and dependent on getting enough players to host a league. If we do not have a minimum of 8 teams, the league will not form and no prizes will be given. A maximum of 20 teams will be accepted. 

The league will have a live snake draft and will be a PPR (point-per-reception) league. 

While Mikey is providing the prizes for this contest, there is no guarantee as this is a free contest to enter. In other words, if something happens to me and I am no longer alive by the time the league is over, I'm sorry, you will not win a prize. Please come and play with us to have fun and to have a chance at winning a prize, which will be paid out as long as I'm still here, alive and well. 

The live draft will take place on Tuesday, August 14 at 5:15 PM (CDT). If you are not able to join the live draft, you may pre-rank your players and your team will be auto-picked. I would highly recommend attending the live draft so we can all chat and have fun while drafting our teams. 

All members are expected to keep things friendly and respect all other members of the league. Any participant may be removed from the league for any reason by the commissioner (me). 

Prizes 

1st -- 50 SCR, 250 Scorum Power Delegated for 3 Months 

2nd -- 20 SCR, 100 Scorum Power Delegated for 3 Months

3rd -- 5 SCR, 100 Scorum Power Delegated for 1 Month

The prizes will be funded by me. If interested in donating to the proze pool, please message me. Sponsors will be mentioned in posts and promoted throughout the season. Want to sponsor, comment below? 

Prizes will be paid out within two weeks of the conclusion of the fantasy football season in early January.  

How to Join 

Limited spots are available. Once the deadline is reached, the league will be created based on the number of people who have reserved a spot and players will receive an email asking them to officially join the ESPN league. 

Even if you don't know how to play, I will publish articles throughout the season giving you tips and advice. 

To reserve your spot, please comment below "I want in!" I will need your name and email address, which you can provide to me via Telegram or Discord so I can add you to the league.  The deadline to join and provide me with your information is 8/1 (Wednesday) at 11:59 PM (CDT). You will then need to follow the instructions to claim your team. 

Good luck and I look forward to playing against you all in a very competitive and fun season-long fantasy football league this year.
