FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Testing out the possible FRC Fantasy League, with a Beta set up. Seeing if this is something that would have support, gain some traction, and get more teams invested in watching the different tournaments.

http://www.fantasizr.com/league/4824257414561792#

Focused on 32 teams this year (Looking to expand if it goes well)

Choose 5 FRC Teams each week, and watch them on the Live Streams. Points, Alliance Selection, and Awards taken from http://www.thebluealliance.com/

Qualification Match Points - How many points earned by the full alliance (This is where a majority of the points will come from

Alliance Selection - Top 8 Alliance Captains will get the most and then teams picked for finals will get descending points

Finals Match Points - Same as Qualification Match Points, but the more round the team stay in, the more points they can get!

Team Awards - 50pts per Award the team wins along with 100pts for being part of the winning alliance and 100pts for winning Chairman's

FRC Top 25 Points - 1st place gets 50pt, 2nd place gets 48pt, 3rd place get 46pts and so on.....


So give it a shot and join up and help test the a fantasy league beta for FRC.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

This seems like a great way to increase livestream viewers for different events.

Also, may I ask why is it a pick 5 instead of 3. Three makes sense since it is the typical alliance.
Maybe even 4 to replicate championships.

P.S. If it seems like I am spouting nonsense it is because I have barely any knowledge involving fantasy leagues.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

It is standard to pick about 5 for a season/week. I went back and forth between 3 and 5 for a bit. Decided to go with 5 to just test it out this year, and make sure everything else works. And with 32 teams to choose from I wanted more picks each week rather than just the 3.

Thanks for the support, I hope this increases the views for different events as well.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Neat. Just joined. Why the limited number of teams?

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Right now fantasizr.com limits to 32 players/teams unless you contact them. I figured 32 teams was enough to run a beta, and I could keep up with the scores at the end of each week.

If things go well, I will look at adding more teams the next year.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

We actually have a massive league on CD found here.

We've got a scoring format and everything going, and already drafted teams before the season started. However, if you've got a site made up for it, it might make it easier for us to host our league on there.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

I've done FF before and it was a huge time commitment. A little thing like this is certainly easier to deal with.

If anyone wants a week-by-week guide to who's playing from the available teams, here's a little spreadsheet. Let me know if you notice any mistakes.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

I knew there were a few floating around on CD, just looking at make your own sites right now online for the beta this year to gauge interest in an online/web based fantasy league. Right now there are some limitations. Hoping to expand for next year to include more teams and options and more standardize scoring (set to the FIRST District Standards)

So right now, it is deff a beta to gather info in hopes to expand next year.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

LOVE the Spreadsheet! That was next on my list! Thank you for saving me some time!

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

3? Or 5?

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

It is 5. I was going back and forth between the two, forgot to take the pick 3 out of there.

So 5 Teams each week.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

How much points is alliance captain vs 1st and 2nd picks?

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Also interested in this. I prefer FF scoring in this regard because it doesn't have to deal with the problem of alliance captains picking #2-8 seeds.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Alliance Capt Points
1st - 100 pts
2nd - 95 pts
3rd - 90 pts
.....
8th - 65 pts

Alliance Picks
1st Pick - 100 pts
2nd Pick - 95 pts
.....
16th Pick - 25 pts

Week 1 Teams will lock tonight at 9:00 pm EST.

Make sure to get your teams picked in the next 5 hours!

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

This should be interesting. I'm signed up. "Tem Temwerk" here we go.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

I'd love to join, but when I try to a page comes up saying "To Continue..." and I have to choose Facebook, Twitter, etc. When I do, the same page just reloads. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks.

EDIT - fixed!

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Week 1 picks are locked!

Good Luck to all!

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Could you guys open for a sec so I could pick my teams. I just found this.
Thanks,
Wilder

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Do to many overnight additions, the team picks will be open until 8pm tonight.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

With the API and TBA now working, are you going to update scores for week 1?

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

No 225? :( ;)

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Due to this years crazy scoring and some Regional/Districts having as few as 9 matches and some having as many as 12 that does not balance the scoring fairly between tournaments. We will be using the averages for both Qualifying and Finals (The way they rank teams this year) This way it is a more fair match up between the teams. (I was really wanting to have teams earn more points during finals as they move on each time, but with the new scoring at least their scores are higher if they were able to move on)

The rest of the scoring will end up staying the same for Alliances, Awards, and FRC Top25 which airs tonight.

Some improvements I think you should make.

Variable points (like how they do it in fantasy hockey)

Face-off between different people on your team. Basically a full league.

Every team. It make take a lot of work but adding every team and figuring out a way for the scores to be added will make this cool. Say you have a team of 5 and on draft day (premier night) you could get the ones you want and choose your own if you want.

This is really cool as someone who won $75 dollars off fantasy yesterday I love the idea

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

Week 1 Tournament Points have been posted. We are just now waiting for FRC Top 25 Points (Based on tonights show)

Tomorrow Morning Wednesday, Week 2 Picks will open up and then close Friday before Week 2 events start.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

I do like Variable points, still playing around with a few ideas on that. The way the game is scored threw my plans for a loop.

I would LOVE to have all the teams at some point, right now the site would only let me do 32. If this year goes well we will look at adding more teams, or the possibility of adding all the FRC Teams.

While I thought of locking teams in for the whole season, I like the options of giving people the chance to change teams each week if they want to. That way you don't have a week where none of your team compete.

Thanks for all the ideas! And glad you are enjoying it so far.

Re: FRC Fantasy League Team Beta
 

I personally like it how it is now. It's simple, straightforward, and doesn't require an enormous amount of research like the other fantasy first. Also gives me something fun to do every week without much commitment.
