Cheating for Charity is a Fantasy Football League. Each team represents a charity that the member is playing for. At the end of the season the charity of the winning team gets two thirds of the winnings from the season and the runner up gets the remaining one third. No league fees or other expenses are taken from the pot. A key part of the game is to encourage additional donations by "cheating." This is done through three ways. First, the amount donated becomes your FAAB. Second, players can "pre-bid" to get bonus points before the Thursday game. Third, players can spend their FAAB to swap out poorly performing players from their bench.

Past Years
2015: $4482 for the Southern Poverty Law Center
2014: $1640 for the Harper College Speech & Theater, $820 for Illuminate Academy
2013: $518 for Minnesota Children's Hospital, $518 for Loma Linda University Medical Center

Cheating
Every dollar donated gives $10 FAAB. Minimum $25 buy-in means everyone starts at $250 FAAB.

Open bids out of FAAB to determine draft order. Top bidding player gets first choice, second bidder gets second, etc.

Before the start of each Thursday night game, players may bid up for a bonus for that week at a cost of $1 per tenth of a point. Regardless of how much is bid, the maximum bonus you can get is 10 points more than your opponent.

After the games are over players may spend funds from their FAAB to swap out starters with high performing players from their bench. The cost of swapping a player out is the difference in points, with every tenth of a point costing $1. These changes must be declared before kickoff of the first game on Thursday. No, you cannot swap a low performing bench player for a high performing starter to add money to your FAAB. You can, however, swap players from your starting lineup to your bench multiple times in order to rearrange the players to maximize your score. In this case you would pay every time the starter was replaced by a bench player who scored more points. Because I can't edit rosters after each week the weekly score will instead be modified by the number of dollars spent.

I get more than enough cash from donations so I'll throw this out there; if someone can't afford the $25 up front but still wants to play I'll cover it. All I ask is that you either drop a few bucks into the pot if you can, or pay it forward.

I would be down for some charity chugging of 4lokos and all that good stuff I've read about in the main thread. Would I have a shot at winning if I pay the initial $25 and then toss a few dollars every now and then as a lifelong member of The Poors?

This is assuming, of course, that you're still taking players. And that you'd have an even amount of players.

I won last season spending less than a hundo.

Beer gets dirty Reddit money he tries to throw around but it doesn't guarantee victory.

My current draft schedule is

5/28: 5 PM Pacific
5/28: 6:30 Pacific
09/04 all fuckin day live auction draft

One other one I don't know when yet. For draft time/date just let me know outside those times and dates and I will try to make it work.

I won two years ago and took second last year and spent less than 100 each year. Just be smart about your budget and you'll be fine. I'm poor as poo poo too.

That's nine folks. Anyone else we can pester to join? I'm also perfectly willing to work out a schedule that makes this happen, like double head to head or something. More cheating!

It would be nice if we could avoid Sept. 7, the draft date for this league and perhaps in doing so recruit a few more of their members.

Seriously, you can be competative with $25 dollars. Maybe having to donate another $25 over the course of three months. Most of that charity money is because beersheets get donations.

I'm in Tokyo still which is EDT+13 currently. I can try to make any day work as long as the times line up for starting 7am to 10pm JST (6pm to 8am). There are some due to unmovable work meetings and such (9am-7pm local time / 8pm to 6am) that I might not be able to do. Most of those are probably fine, but rather than post all sorts of random unmovable meetings I'll just try to be on top of watching times.
