GABF Fantasy League
You remember those jocks that used to beat you up when they found out that you played Dungeons and Dragons back in middle school? Well, those guys are the same people that are studying statistics and drawing graphs while shuffling their team in Fantasy Football Leagues all across the nation right now.
The Managing Associates at the Beer Mapping Project felt that we shouldn’t let those guys have all the fun so we found a solution to that: GABF Fantasy League!
Basically, the premise is this: You register for the league by clicking this link on this page (this league is free - but you must already have a Beer Mapping Project forums account - click here to register).
After registration is closed, the drafting order will be randomized and posted in the forums. You will get an email notice when your turn to draft comes up and you will come back to the site as soon as possible and you will pick a brewery to be on your team. Once you pick that brewery, no one else can pick it.
As the draft proceeds, there will be fewer and fewer teams to pick from. In other words; you better make your pick count!
Scoring:
Each brewery that you pick will ultimately determine the number of points that you can accumulate.
- If you pick a brewery that wins a gold medal in the American IPA category (or any category) you will receive 3 points.
- A silver medal will earn you 2 points.
- And a bronze medal will bring in 1 point to add to your total score.
These points will all be accumulated to determine a winner. But these aren’t the only points you could receive! There are five “big awards”: the Large/Mid-size/Small Breweries of the Year and the Large/Small Brewpub of the Year that could potentially earn you 5 points for each one. These big awards could potentially seal the deal if you are lucky enough to actually grab a brewery that earns one.
The goal here is solely to have fun. No money will be exchanging hands. We will have some prizes for at least first and second place, but the exact prizes have not been determined yet.
Sign up! Tell your friends! We’re only allowing at most 25 or 30 entries, so register and enter quickly before the spaces all fill up!
