RE: Using Steem as a fantasy sports platform
I had considered making an account to use for the league, but that would basically lock up the SP rewards. I want to distribute all that Steem as prizes. I can power down as needed to make the SP liquid, but a fresh account wouldn't be able to.
I was hoping that we could fill the league with existing Steemit users. But at this point, it's looking like we will have to open it up and invite people to join the platform and play.
Anybody you can recruit would be more than welcome. For obvious reasons, it would be better to invite people we know. Random players can really be hit or miss, on a few different levels.
At this point I'm concerned that we might have to postpone the draft. It might give us a bit more breathing room to draft some time next week. We just don't have the players at this point, and time's running out unless we push it back.
There's always the option of going ahead with a small league... But I'd much rather have as many teams as we can muster.
Ya, agreed, bigger league is better, and setting a new draft time seems like it might be best at this point.
I'll try to recruit a player or two when we know the draft time, if it seems like there is still room.
