If we can get 8 to 12 guys willing to put up a fiver then I'll create a league on NFL.com and we can have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes.

Add your name to the list if you're in. I'd like to get this finalized by August so I can set up a draft.

The list:

What if everyone pitched in cigars for the prizes (of course the fiver still to cover the cost of the site if any and mailing)  Say everyone adds 5 cigars at a certain $ each.

When I say fiver, I mean 5 cigars. The league will be free to join $$ wise.

I'm working on the details, but I'm thinking ante will be 5 cigars with a total worth of $25-$50.

If we get say 10 guys, that's 50 cigars, so... 6 people send to 1st place, 3 send to 2nd, and 1 to third. (1st place does not send). So everybody is sending something except 1st place.

The winner will receive 30 cigars
First runner up gets 10 "net" cigars
Third gets their entry fee back, but it's a mystery (this is where 2nd place will send)

It may not make much sense now, but I'll PM everybody wher to send their sticks at the end and everyone will be taken care of that deserves it.

THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Mike, you can see the guys who have competed the last couple years on old threads.  After 2 years of looking like an idiot I'm not going this year.

May I also take this time to mention that there are guys out there who still owe some winners cigars and some winners who might want to give some feedback to the guys who did remember to take care of you when you won.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

I'm in again! I think this will be my 3rd or 4th year!

Since you guys do this every year, please let me know how you feel prizes are generally handled.

Looks like we have 8 now!

There was no formal prize before. The guys involved just sent a few sticks to the winner. It was whatever they felt compelled to send. Some guidelines probably would be good. The league has been running in the Yahoo fantasy section before with an autodraft. It can be changed but it seemed to work pretty well.

2 years ago, the winner was to receive one cigar from each contestant not the winner but most sent several sticks. Last year it was basically the same, but everyone sent 3-5 sticks to the winner.  The last couple years the league has been done through Yahoo!  It's worked well.  Who ever the commissioner was last year can re-new the league again this year and just send out invites to the new members. All the old members will still have their team names and logos.

That sounds good to me if the commissioner steps up, and I'll fade into the night. If not I'll create a league on NFL.com because "theres an app for that" and it makes it simple to manage your team.

If the previous commish steps up please let all the new guys play.

That shouldn't be a problem. I believe Yahoo! has an app for their fantasy leagues as well. If I remember correctly. The reason I suggest Yahoo is because the league is already created and those returning already have teams. New members will just need an invite and we're good to go.

These days, they all have apps. I think I have used all of the different programs at one point or another.
