Hello! Time to once again find the best fantasy sport player on the board. We took some lumps the first time I ran this, but I learned some things that I'm sure will make this better than ever!

For starters, instead of starting in August with EPL, we are starting in March with the NCAAB tourney, and then heading into Baseball, seems like it will be easier to play when everyone is still in the running and such.

We will of course have fewer people this year, I'm thinking 14 doesn't stretch the draft leagues too much and allows for the most people to participate.

Right now I want suggestions for potential games to add to this list

Basketball
Baseball
Football
Hockey
NCAAF bowls
NCAAB tourney
Either EPL or Euro 2012

I would like to get to 10 total events, and wouldn't mind adding the next Guru competition again

Anyone who survived to the end last year is guaranteed a spot this year

Aww yeah last year's champion checking in!

Despite the expected bumps during the inaugural season I found this to be well run and a fantastic idea. I'm excited about participating again.

As for extra events, perhaps ESPN will be doing something with the Olympics (Basketball tourney, medal count, not sure exactly but I bet something will happen) which could be interesting.

And also, I will be sure to archive everything on the wiki this time, and I have a new laptop, so we will have a definitive winner and standings >_>

Last years could maybe convince someone I was champion if I lied about it but really second place finisher checking in!

I'm going to get killed by soccer again, I'm sure. If the Euro 2012 fantasy league would be on a different site, I'd support that completely. Getting stats/results/anything from the EPL site we used last time made me not even want to bother with that.

Im pretty sure that ESPN or other sites have a EURO contest where you pick every match and then the bracket or something like that

I don't know much about many sports, but can I still be involved? I'd have some clue about football, basketball, baseball, and ncaa stuffs, which I guess is half the field, then...

Okay then. Can I play?

Before the B8 Marathon League I had never competed in Fantasy Baseball, Basketball, Football, or EPL and I managed to win the thing. I follow most of those leagues a least a bit but had to give myself crash courses in how to play their respective fantasy leagues. No one should feel overwhelmed if they haven't competed in fantasy leagues for all of the sports before.

Also if you want to be EXTRA CRAZY throw in some picks of tennis tournaments and golf majors.

Then again I'm not 100% sure on what the whole scoring of this thing will be so I don't know how that could play in.

basically for each event you get points for where you finish, most points win

I tossed around the idea of tennis and golf last year but wasn't quite sure how to pull it off

Are there sites where you can fill out a tennis major bracket?
