First off - Welcome Everyone that made it into the 2014 Fantasy League - co-hosted this year by both Jorge, and myself - Rick Aragon. I wanted to send a quick note out to you all to break down the fees/info for this year so everyone can see how the season will play out in advance! It's great to see that we have a rejuvenated set of teams eager to take home bragging rights and a little extra cash - including the top return players from the prior seasons, and some new/hungry teams as well! This year the entry fee will be $65 - which is a $5 increase over last year. However, we are expanding the winner's circle to include 4th place (so, if you make it to the big games, you may still save a little face, and break even on your entrance fee). Everything else is right in line with last year's setup! There is no added incentive to maintain your team throughout the season, however, as stated last year if we feel like you have not maintained your team or been an active owner, you will not be invited back and we feel we've found a great set of Managers and appreciate having each of you participate - so this shouldn't be a problem!
The Draft Date is set for August 25th (Monday) at 730pm PST/1030pm EST - which should give everyone a good injury free draft going into the regular season. I do ask that if anyone has an issue with this date/time you let me (Rick) know immediately so we can possibly accommodate as this is a critical component to Fantasy success for the season!
If you are not able to provide the monies to me in person - you can each mail your check to me at the following address:
Rick Aragon
5650 S Kyrene Rd

Tempe, AZ 85283
With 12 teams this will be the payout breakdown:
- 1st place winnings are set at $350
- 2nd place winnings are set at $225
- 3rd place winnings are set at $140
- 4th place (NEW) winnings break even at $65 (earn your entrance back if you don't "really" place in the top 3)
Let's get it started League - it's gonna be another fun season with some healthy competition! Looking forward to it! Note - as was the case in the past - if anyone has any questions/concerns on the settings/rules/etc. - reach out and we'll review for possible updates/implementation when and where applicable.
