Fantasy Chili Bowl – Week One

Welcome to the latest update from the FFScout Community’s newest team contest, the Fantasy Chili Bowl (FCB). Here we will update you on the group draw, fixture list and squad selection as we look ahead to this weekend’s first matches.

THE DRAW

The draw took place in a grungy room at the weekend to decide who was in what conference, with the results as follows (captains names in brackets):

Conference A: Miami Magicians (Neenyg), Los Angeles Vipers (Goldman), San Antonio Ravers (Az), Boston Hawks (Jonjo Shall_We?), Washington DC Presidents (Cheese), New Orleans Contes (Jazz!)

Conference B: Austin Powers (Ronhaar), Chicago Bull Sitters (Mr Calm), Mississippi Hillbillies (Adam West), Phoenix Philistines (Kingozil), Cleveland Steamers (BabyB), Philadelphia Sentrymen (Narcos)

Conference C: San Francisco Bulls Deep (Le God), Las Vegas Lemmings (Kings of Lyon), San Jose Holebas (Spectrum), San Diego Casuals (Tets McGee), Seattle Salad Dodgers (Athletico Timbo), New York Tommy Guns (Siddharth)

Conference D: Jacksonville Jamaicans (Lateriser12), Albuquerque Shaolin (KJ), Waikiki Beach Raiders (Cylus11), Utah Polygamists (Say Something Significant), Denver DoesDallas (Shipstontrev), Indianapolis House of Pancakes (Pirlo’s Pen)

Conference B has been widely regarded as the “group of death”, but with just two to qualify from each conference, this competition is going to be tough for everyone.

Side Orders

Further previews and nuggets of information will be posted within the comments throughout the week, but the important things to know are as follows:

• Captains must email the FCB mailbox (fantasychilibowl@gmail.com) with their decision on which two players they are benching this week before the deadline of 11:59pm UK time on Friday night.  11:59pm UK time on the night before the FPL deadline will be the deadline each week.
• Remember this is a FFS community competition and we expect all teams to have some presence within the comments on these articles.  If we see some teams not participating on this front, we will start enforcing rules to ensure this does happen.  With reference to the rule regarding FFS registration has been clear from the outset, and we are taking this rule seriously.  It is up to the captains to ensure that all players are eligible according to the rules, and if they aren’t by the weekend we will be banning these players from the competition without debate.
• The full rules can be found here  – this includes details of the all-star game, and other individual/team awards.
