[nabs-l] Fantasy Football

My Federation family:

Who’s ready for football season to start? Who loves competition? And, most importantly, who is ready to win a fantasy football league?
The National Association of Blind Students is excited to host our second annual NABS Fantasy Football League! Whether you are a seasonal football fan or interested in learning about the great American sport, we invite each and every one of you to participate in a little friendly competition amongst our Federation family. 

you may be asking yourself: what is a fantasy football league? A fantasy football league normally consists of 12 teams (some are less or more). Before the NFL season starts, fantasy teams draft their own team, consisting of NFL players. A draft order is set by the league and all owners draft until their roster is filled.  Each participant is considered a team owner.  In this particular league, each team will consist of 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, a flex position which could be a running back, a wide receiver, or a tight end, a defense/ special teams, and a kicker.

This year, there will be only one division with no more than 12 players.  The league will require $30 to get started. The $30 will be broken into $15 for NABS as a participation fee, while the other half ($15) will go into a pot for the end of the season winner to grab for personal reward.  There will be only one winner in this League. We wouldn’t be our Federation family if we weren’t welcoming, encouraging, and inclusive, so please, bring family, friends, and other football enthusiast’s that you know to join in on the fun.

The Final day to sign-up will be August 30, with our Draft scheduled for September 2nd.Payment has never been easier. NABS is up to snuff with all payment options, including, but not limited to, check, PayPal, Venmo, and Square cash.
To sign-up, contact Cody Beardslee, NABS Treasurer, by sending an email to codybeardslee at gmail.com or by calling   (763) 291-3711.
