> Aloha my Federation family,
> 
> With August nearing its end, the National Association of Blind
> Students is excited to be hosting our first ever Fantasy Football
> League! Whether you are a seasonal football fan or are 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. Since some are more competitive than others, NABS
> has decided to split up leagues based on how serious you get when it
> comes to fantasy football.
> 
> Now, 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.
> 
> As mentioned earlier, there will be 3 different divisions with no more
> than 12 players per league.  The first division will require 10
> dollars to get started, 3 dollars will go towards NABS as a
> participation fee, while the other 7 dollars will go into a pot for
> the end of the year.  The second league will cost 20 dollars to
> participate, 5 dollars will be put towards NABS.  The Last League
> which will be geared towards the more advanced Fantasy Football Player
> will cost 30 dollars, with 10 dollars going towards NABS.
> There will be only 1 winner in each League.  With only 8-12
> participants, your odds are looking pretty god in terms of walking
> away with a big wad of cash! NABS receives a little bit of cash, while
> the one winner takes home the rest of the money.
> 
> We want as many people to participate, so invite friends, family,
> acquaintances, and Mail men, because this is not only limited to
> members of NABS. In fact, we welcome any and all individuals
> regardless of age to join in on the fun. If you know nothing about
> football but are intrigued by such an amazing sport, we will make sure
> you have a team and a shot at taking home that grand prize!
> The Final day to sign-up will be this Sunday, August 28. Our Draft
> will be scheduled for either the Following Monday, or Tuesday.
> 
> So get involved with something cool, fun, and exciting. For your
> convenience, we take PayPal, Venmow, and credit card over the phone.
> 
> Please reach out to me, the coordinator of this fundraiser, at
> ShannonCantan.NFB at gmail.com or by phone at 808-636-0129 and I will
> send you an invitation to the league, as well as get you to the right
> party to process your payment.
> 
> Come on come all in this year’s National Association of Blind Students
> Fantasy Football league! Thank you in advance for your support for
> blind students and for your interest in the most incredible sport on
> earth.
> 
> Indeed, football season is here!
