A bunch of us have been playing fantasy sports together for damn near the past decade. I sent out a survey back in the fall just to make sure everyone is still having fun - seems like we are.
I'm ready to take it all to the next level.
Paul has always referred to the leagues that I started - Rebound League for basketball, the Epic X for football, and the Senior Circuit League (SCL) for baseball - as the "Josh Leagues." I get it, but it's time for something more official.
Welcome to Triple Crown Fantasy Sports.
Moving forward, this site will be the place where I post weekly league recaps, news, updates, and maybe even start writing more.
Here's the other thing we are launching today:
The Triple Crown Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame.
I've been looking for more/better ways to incentivize everyone who plays in any of our leagues. Hell, I've been looking for new ways to incentivize myself.
Essentially there are 4 stats we're looking at to gain HOF access and there will be three tiers.
THE FOUR CATEGORIES:
- Seasons Participated
- Championship Titles
- Division Titles
- Winning Percentage*
THE THREE TIERS:
The Bronze Tier:
- 10 Fantasy Seasons
- 3 Championship Titles
- 5 Division Titles
- .550% Overall Winning Percentage*
The Silver Tier:
- 15 Fantasy Seasons
- 5 Championship Titles
- 10 Division Titles
- .600% Overall Winning Percentage*
The Gold Tier:
- 30 Fantasy Seasons
- 10 Championship Titles
- 20 Division Titles
- .650 Overall Winning Percentage*
I will send out a spread sheet that will show where everyone is on their own HOF journey. After each season, I will post new progress on this site but that sheet will be live at all times.
* - Once you hit the appropriate mark, even for a day, you instantly and eternally qualify for that tier even if you go back down.
PRIZES
There will be some prizes that be awarded to you as you hit each tier as well.
Bronze - a bronze Hall of Fame jacket
Silver - a silver Hall of Fame ring
Gold - a gold Hall of Fame trophy (a bust if I can find it)
If those aren't enough of an incentive, let me know and we will keep working on it.
LOGO
I spent way too much time on the Triple Crown logo, but very happy/proud with how it turned out.
The 3 levels of color in the logo represent our tiers:
- The gold crown
- The silver lettering in "TRIPLE CROWN"
- The bronze lettering in "Fantasy Leagues"
The 3 colored jewels represent our leagues:
- Orange for the ESPN based basketball website
- Green for football
- Blue for baseball
THIS SITE
Like I said, I will posting weekly recaps, news, updates here from now on. But if you click on the on the 3 lines in the upper right hand corner, you will also notice some other helpful info.
BEST SOURCE FOR STARTING LINEUPS
- FantasyLabs for basketball, baseball, and football have been a game changer for me personally when it comes to who is playing/who is sitting on a daily basis (ESPECIALLY for basketball and baseball). I've attached the link to each of their twitter handles here.
FANTASY WEBSITES
- I've listed ESPN because that's what we use for our leagues but I've come to use FantasyPros and Rotoworld almost exclusively for articles, rankings, start/sit, and other content. Let me know if there any other sites you like as well that we can add.
OWNER TWITTER ACCOUNTS
- I attached the links for our team specific twitter accounts that we created for football. If anyone else would like to set one up, let me know and I will add it. This might be a dead box but thought it would be fun to have.
Anything else to add to this site? Want to make it as much of a one-stop shop as possible.
Think that's it for now.
Game on.
