Are You Ready for Some Football?
Amazingly, it’s that time again. Are you interested in playing in the SSWUG.ORG Fantasy Football Leagues? It’s time again and open to all full members. Guests are free to apply too and we’ll work with you as best we can if there are extra slots in the leagues, so be sure to send in your note. How does it work? We set up leagues using Yahoo!’s premium football leagues – which means you get full access to all of the tools, including the real-time stat tracking systems.
How do you play? If you’re interested, please send a note to me at swynk@sswug.org. Please read carefully:
Be certain to make the subject line "Fantasy Football"
In the email – include your member ID (on sswug, top right corner after you login), your member level (Full member, registered guest) and whether you played previously on the SSWUG leagues.
Please be sure to include all information – it gets to the point where I can’t keep up without having it all centralized, it really helps having it in your email. If you don’t include it all, you may be missed for the leagues. Once set up, you’ll get a notice with login information and you’ll be able to set up your team, get ready for the draft and such.
