2016 League Page Donation Page Financial Tracker  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 quote:Draft: TBD

Well going from twelve teams to six kind of sucks. Any ideas for getting more folks? I could open the league up to Reddit.

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'm also perfectly willing to work out a schedule that makes this happen, like double head to head or something. More cheating! What dates are absolute no-gos for people?

MelancholyMark posted:Hi yall, is it too late to join in on the cheating? Two buddies and I were looking for another league to join and I suggested this one to them. They don't have forum accounts but I'd be happy to buy them if being registered is some kind of requirement. They'll have to be registered since all the cheating stuff goes through here. Otherwise I'm happy for anyone to join. Also looks like we're go for the sixth. Any time preference?

Draft settings updated. Please PM me your email address if you're not invited yet. Also we do pre-bidding of FAAB for draft spots. If you want a spot bid for it. Remaining spots will be distributed randomly 24 hours before the draft. Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Sep 1, 2016 |

No, I just got back from my trip and can finally now deal with this. Important Announcement I'm going to give everyone $25 from the stuff that's been donated to me. Everything you donate will be on top of that. That way everyone is on the same page, and perhaps karma will actually let me win this year. Start pre-bidding!

This is who I have: 89 Spoeank Aredna Sataere Beer4TheBeerGod spacejung internet inc Ninja Bob Doltos MelancholyMark Arcticbrady11 That's 11. So far I've gotten e-mails from internet inc and Ninja Bob. That means Doltos, Melancholy Mark, and Articbrady11 need to send me their addresses. RisqueBarber are you willing to play again? That would make it 12 people. Currently we have 11.

I'm going to keep it as is for now. If it turns out to be a problem then you can yell at me next year. And hey, it takes more than two minutes to spit out a projection. After all I have to manually highlight players.

HOLY poo poo IT'S FOOTBAWL! Couple things: A) Please let me know what charity you're playing for. B) We've already raised $2419 for charity, which is pretty awesome! C) Rather than scour through the charity logs this year I'm going to work on the honor system and please tell me here when you've made a donation. That way it's easier to keep track of things. D) Don't forget to cheat! I bid $100 (10 Points) this week!

internet inc posted:Is there a list of charities we can choose from or any kind of limitation? No limitation whatsoever. I make the donation myself so I just need a POC. I would prefer it not be something I would regret getting mail for the rest of my life, so if you could avoid NAMBLA that would be nice. I recommend Charity Navigator if you want a suggestion. This year I will be competing for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 3650. FRC is a STEM outreach effort that does an amazing job of inspiring kids into technical careers.

Honestly I don't need receipts, I'm cool with people just telling me what they donated.Ninja Bob posted:I donated $50, I can find the date/receipt if needed. That puts me at $750 FAAB if I understand this correctly, and I'll be cheating tomorrow, because my bench made a bunch of points. Still thinking on my charity as well. That's exactly how it works. Spoeank posted:I thought I had thrown in $25 a long time ago but now I'm not so sure. Do you have anything on file for me? Sounds good for me.

Yeah that's fine. 89 posted:I change my charity to Soul Food Cafe in Conway, Arkansas where I live. There's a good chunk of religious stuff involved, but they do really great work. Feed the hungry and even do haircuts and put a lot of work into getting people back on their feets again. Lots of positive energy and I want to directly take my winnings, when I dominate this league and win it

Okay, theoretically everybody has had the funds that they have donated added to their FAAB. I'll deal with expenditures in a bit. Adding your team name to your posts is immensely helpful.
