Bench Life Sports

Preseason football starts this week, and that means that it’s time to get your notebooks out and do your research on who you want to lead your fantasy football team to another disappointing season. Let’s be real, any pick you make will always be the wrong pick. That’s just the beauty (or evil) of fantasy football, and no matter how much you hate it you just can’t quit.

So while you’re sitting there thinking “this is going to be the year”, why not take a shot at winning some cash and bragging rights? Sign up to be in the inaugural season of the Bench Life Sports Fantasy Football League. I mean this is what we do right? We aren’t good enough to actually play sports so we just gamble on them instead. Just ask Ballantyne.

The rules and scoring are pretty standard. Roster consists of:

• 1 QB
• 2 RBs
• 3 WRs
• 1 TE
• 1 Flex
• 1 Kicker
• 1 Team Defense
• 6 Bench Players

If we get 10 teams, top 4 will make the playoffs and will be held Weeks 15 & 16. If we get 12 teams, the top six will make the playoffs which will be held over Weeks 14, 15 & 16. Once everyone is signed up I’ll set a date for the draft that works best, but right now it’s looking like it’ll be towards the end of preseason.

To enter, message me on Facebook or Twitter (@CameronBurgess) for the league name and password. Entrance fee is $10. Second place gets their money back, first place gets the rest.

To keep everyone up to date, I’ll be posting some regular updates on the website as well as on our Twitter account (@benchlifesports) so make sure to keep an eye out for that!
