Thankfully some recent Twitter rants have saved me from fantasy frustrations this year.

It adds another layer of entertainment and gets you watching and rooting for riders you generally wouldn’t notice or pay attention to. It’s not about making it “about you” it’s about getting more out of the racing and the potential to win things as a bonus.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite parts. Instead of only paying attention to who gets on the podium, you end up caring about some dude in 17th place, hoping he can get up to 13th and become eligible for bonus points.

Passwords have been sent out to everyone signed up as of now. Something came up in the process that I think deserves discussion.

Should it be one entry per person in the paid league or should someone be able to pay twice and run two teams? Not sure if everyone is okay with that or not and would like some input. Thanks!

I vote it don't matter. Also i think you will need to make another username for the pulp site. If your gonna pay then let them play.

I was thinking of making an account for my wife and "helping" her.

My only concern is if the same person finished in the top 10 twice, people might feel weird. I'll just go with the popular vote, I'm fine either way but just want everyone to be on the same page.

I agree.. If Mr. & Mrs. are each playing; who's to say she's actually making her own picks anyways? More money for the pool is never a bad thing

but all you fantasy guys DO make it about you.
You know how many times I've heard in the pits, "you better do good, you're on my fantasy team" or "he ruined my fantasy team with that crash".

I'm sure some do but not "all" and certainly not me. Jackass behavior... I explained why I find fantasy fun to the guy asking. I understand no one cares about my fantasy team so I don't bring it up in conversation or @ riders venting my frustration.

I'm not trying to win anyone over or have a debate. I'm just trying to organize a little league for people who are into it so we can have our fun.

I’m good if the same person want to have multiple teams. As one said mor money in the pot the better. Also I’ve played dual teams in the main league and didn’t see any real advantage.

Not really. That’s why I’m not blasting him and am leaving it up to your imagination to decipher.
I like motocross because it’s a nice escape from the monotony of politics.

He knows 100% of his audience is based around a sport and should know that posts like that only wind everyone up. And pit people against each other

If I wanted wanted to hear his insights on that subject I would tune into PulpPolitics. Maybe that’s where he’s going. Ferry is turning pro soon and pulp hockey didn’t go over too well so there’s that...

Yeah, should be an okay prize pool! I think I’m going to do 10th place at least gets their money back and every position moving up will be a net gain.

Impressed with the turnout and very excited!
