2018 Forum H2H League & Pigeon Cup

There hasn't been any requests to change the entry fee or prize format from last year -- except with the split season the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place pots will be split 2/3rds and 1/3rd.

$75 Entry Fee. mgarbowski mgarbowski is the Treasurer again this year. Don't do what I did last year and send him $ without telling him which team is yours.

Unlike last year we will be starting the first week, not the second week so the deadline is pretty much this Thursday.
 
Enjoy my $75, everyone.
 
Its time for the 2018 Forum H2H League and Pigeon Cup! League is called 2018 NYCFC Forum H2H. Link is https://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/#classic/leagues/1060/join/ARNDEF4E

Last Year was $75 Buy-In. Prizes were approximately 1st Place 45%. Pigeon Cup 30%. 2nd Place 15% and 3rd Place 10% of pot. Anyone who wants to change the buy-in amount or prize structure post it or message me. On Sunday I will exercise my new powers to make a final decision about the buy-in amount and prize structure.

mgarbowski mgarbowski will you be Treasurer again?

Rimil Rimil as the reigning Pigeon Cup champion you get to pick the week the Pigeon Cup starts -- we wont know the exact format until we know how many teams are in, but generally same format with Group Play and an 8 team knockout quarterfinal. If there aren't too many teams we could go to group play and knockout semi.

Who wants to play again? adam adam Viewfrom226 FredMertz FredMertz Jack Jack sbrylski NYCFC_Dan Keith Putnam JayH JayH Midas Mulligan joe joe SoupInNYC Mario OSNY87 einwindir

League is open to new players.
As king of the Pigeon cup, I knight thee Sir Sabo. Go forth will full authorization to set the dates as you see fit.
 
Finally entered. Sorry for delay.

I'm having trouble with the fantasy website. It won't let me save my team I select. Am I doing something wrong? This is my first year doing fantasy MLS so I think my learning curve is a bit steep.
 
Anyone have a list of good league codes to join?
 
Shoutout to MLS for somehow finding a way to make the interface even more confusing. I didn't think you could do it, but here we are.
Over designed by someone who has never used it.

The simple act of bracketing the price ranges when you're searching (as opposed to selecting a maximum price) is change for change's sake as it makes the product less usable.

Pictures next to each player name serve my purpose but to decrease usability.

Awful!

I feel like I a got lots of guys without pictures on my team. If they are giving price increase for finding hidden gems it should be 2x if the guy wasn't important enough to get his photo loaded in time. I mean they had like 2 months to get it ready.

The interface wont let you save your team unless all the slots are filled. I didn't want to think about it all at once so I just put random guys in as filler until I got a better idea of what I wanted to do. Try that technique.

For clarity's sake, there's no Donor league this year. Just $75 fee. Correct?

I thought we’re only doing a $75 dollar league because we can’t get enough people between two leagues. Same problem last year.

All of that is still good info. Thanks for posting it Sabo Sabo . I’ve been away (last week) and sick (this week) so my forum activity has been sporadic and search/cut/[aste is more than my fever brain wants to handle.

And yes, the only edit to that info would be that you can all ignore the $25 and $100 options.

Crap! I just sent Mark $100.

Early retirement, sorted.

For some reason I can't even open the MLS fantasy site from any computer. Is there a different link this season, or some reason it can only be opened from a tablet/phone? Strange.
