• Shave eyebrows off
• Wax your legs
• Run the gauntlet 5(???) times (in a bathing suit???)
• Create a legit dating profile on Tinder/Bumble/OKCupid/Coffee Meets Bagel and go on date with “worst” match made in 96 hours.
• Ribbon dance in leotard to Fetty Wap’s Trap Queen or another worthy song
• Hot ones sacko punishment: Do a hot ones interview. Must eat all of the hot wings on the show in increasingly spicy order. Another person, possibly the season champ, will be Sean, except they can eat wings of their choice. This person will interview the Sacko asking shaming questions such as why their team sucks, why they are terrible at fantasy football, etc. The Sacko must take these questions seriously and answer sincerely.
• The loser of the league is required to dress up as a carrot and race to selected bars to chug one drink then dash to the next. Fifteen minutes later, the member who came in second-to-last place takes off in a rabbit suit to do the same with their own 15-minute head start before the rest of the league follows. If the rabbit catches the carrot then the carrot pays the tab. If the league catches rabbit, the rabbit pays.
• Remake Anaconda video, especially the Drake part with the League Champion
• Dresses up in a maid outfit and serves everyone throughout the game

League suggestions

1) FAAB waiver w/ continual rolling list tie break
Current state: When placing a waiver on a player, the team that gets the player is the one with the higher waiver priority.
New state: Every manager starts of with the same acquisition budget for placing blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team’s acquisition budget. For example, the acquisition budget is set at $100. Three managers place a bid on a waived player: $20, $20, and $19. Since there is a tiebreaker, the team with the higher waiver priority will get the player and, thus, be placed at the bottom of the waiver priority list.

2) Auction draft

3) Keeper league – Each manager is allowed to keep a certain number of players the following year

4) Let’s do it big for draft day! Draft destination or rent a room to do the draft!

5) Challenge flags. For managers who cannot make the draft, all managers who draft in person are given one challenge flag which can be tossed (with excessively dramatic effect) to reverse an auto-drafted pick for an absentee manager. The auto-drafted pick is reversed and the next highest ranked player is picked instead.

6) Take a shot during draft night every time you draft a player from a rival division team of your favorite team. For example, you take a shot if you draft a player from the Cowboys when you root for the Skins.

7) Consequences for missing events?

8) Adding IR spot to roster

FAQ (and other tidbits)

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS LEAGUE SERIOUSLY?

Well, for one, you definitely DO NOT WANT TO BECOME SACKO. You will be ridiculed and humiliated throughout the year and the punishment will indubitably be embarrassing. With that said, this league is also seriously fun! Hopefully, as part of the league, you will enjoy the camaraderie, the trash-talking (which is highly recommended and crucial), and the unnecessary stress during the entire football season. If you do not participate as often or attend events as much, expect consequences! It’s all part of the fun.

HOW IS SACKO DECIDED? 

At the end of the regular season, the team with the worst record is the Sacko. In the case of a tiebreaker, the team with the lowest point total is the Sacko.

HOW IS SACKO PUNISHMENT DECIDED?

Before the beginning of each season, the managers will discuss potential Sacko punishments and come to an agreement to a Sacko punishment. The commission will create a contract for all to sign before the start of the draft. Example.

HOW IS DRAFT DIBS ORDER DECIDED? 

Positions 1-6 are decided through the consolation bracket. The winner of the bracket is 1st while the runner-up is 2nd, and so on. Positions 7-12 are decided through the consolation bracket. The eventual champion will be 12th, the runner-up is 11th, 3rd place is 10th, and so on. Draft dibs does not determine draft order, but allows for managers to select their draft position for next season’s draft.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T ATTEND THE DRAFT?

It is required that all managers physically attend the draft since it is offline. In the serious case that you are unable to attend, please contact the commissioner as soon as possible!

In your absence, these are your options for drafting:

• You may appoint a person as your substitute drafter (with commissioner’s approval),
• You may give the commissioner your cheat sheet, or
• You can attend the trade electronically.

There will be consequences for not joining the draft. This will be decided by the group of managers that are able to attend the draft.
