Anyone up for some Fanduel?
 
We've created a custom contest for our members called the Hogstrough Duel.  It's $2 each, winner takes all and we start over every week. I set it up for 10 people for now, if we have more than that we can set up a second contest and/or expand it next week.  
 
If you DON'T have a Fanduel account: Fanduel will match your first deposit up to $200. To sign up (and get your bonus) click here or you can just click on the banner up top.

If you DO have a Fanduel account: You can go straight to the contest here.
 
Here's the rules...

  • Buy in is $2 per team
  • Each team gets $60,000 to spend 
  • You can add any player you want as long as you have cap space left
  • Start QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF
  • This week's games only - all Sunday games (no MNF)

Here's the scoring...
 

Offense:
Rushing yards made = 0.1pts
Rushing touchdowns = 6pts
Passing yards = 0.04pts
Passing touchdowns = 4pts
Interceptions = -1pt
Receiving yards = 0.1pts
Receiving touchdowns = 6pts
Receptions = 0.5pts
Kickoff return touchdowns = 6pts
Punt return touchdowns = 6pts
Fumbles lost = -2pts
Own fumbles recovered touchdowns = 6pts
Two-point conversions scored = 2pts
Two-point conversion passes = 2pts
Field-goals from 0-19 yards = 3pts
Field-goals from 20-29 yards = 3pts
Field-goals from 30-39 yards = 3pts
Field-goals from 40-49 yards = 4pts
Field-goals from 50+ yards = 5pts
Extra-point conversions = 1pt
Defense:
Sacks = 1pt
Opponent-fumbles recovered = 2pts
Return touchdowns = 6pts
Fumble return touchdowns = 6pts
Safeties = 2pts
Blocked kicks = 2pts
Interceptions made = 2pts
0 points allowed = 10pts
1-6 points allowed = 7pts
7-13 points allowed = 4pts
14-20 points allowed = 1pt
28-34 points allowed = -1pt
35+ points allowed = -4pts
Note: For purposes of FanDuel defensive scoring, points allowed are calculated as: 6 * (Rushing TD + Receiving TD + Own fumbles recovered for TD ) + 2 * (Two point conversions) + Extra points + 3 * (Field Goals)

I'm in.  Fanduel has a 100% bonus option up to a $200 deposit. Take advantage of it.  This is my first foray into Fanduel.  I'm sure it will cost me some money to start but will be a learning experience..

I'll give it a shot again as long as there is interest.  Maybe I'll try 5 this time and we'll go from there

Got 3/5 so far. Need 2 more. Of course would be nice to get more, as the more people, the bigger the prize.

Unfortunately I dont think we can change it on the fly... if there was enough interest I could cancel it and start a new one, start a second game or just do more next week.
