RE: Using Steem as a fantasy sports platform
I love the idea of predicting league outcomes similar to @steemsports. Maybe you'd even want to create a separate account, in case it became a lot of noise and you don't want all of it on your main feed? (Just thinking out loud.)
Any plans what we will do if nobody else signs up?
We could open it up to the Yahoo hooligan public, and then tell them what the deal is and they have to go check out Steem to be involved in the rewards lol. But, that seems like more of a possibility to fill the last spot or few spots. Would be much better to just have actual Steemers involved in the league.
I could probably recruit a person or two (who isn't on Steemit yet), but again would be better to have Steemers.
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.
