I can't open fanduel from my work computer, did you send my buddy an invite? He's afraid it will go to his spam folder.

Such an inconvenience to keep sending new links when we change the number of participants, but just so you guys know why it is the way it is and how they make Fanduel legal:

SamanthaAtFanduel: Yes. The size of a league cannot be edited once it is created
→are you guys working on that because thats a major inconvenience?
SamanthaAtFanduel: No. Part of what makes Daily Fantasy Sports legal is this stipulation, "All prizes and awards offered to winning participants are established and made known to the participants in advance of the game or contest and their value is not determined by the number of participants or the amount of any fees paid by participants."
SamanthaAtFanduel: This means that once the contest is set, the prize amounts cannot be altered based on the number of participants and vice versa.
SamanthaAtFanduel: Hence why you are unable to edit a league once it has been created.
→so pretty much just set the number of participants and hope for the best?
SamanthaAtFanduel: It is best to know the number of participants you are looking to have enter a contest you've created
→i see--wish it was different though
SamanthaAtFanduel: Certainly understandable. Just trying to remain within the guidelines that make this legal and considered a game of skill
→gotcha--thanks

Interesting. Doesn't explain why you can't establish your own prizes before hand, but at least the league size thing is explained.

reese how did you leave the old game? it's still up but your team isn't there anymore

SunMo · October 17, 2013, 02:09:44 PM

nevermind, i figured it out. have to chat with support

Munson · October 17, 2013, 02:19:25 PM

You have to chat with support to leave a game?

Though I guess if I stay in it, and it doesn't fill 7 spots, it just cancels and I get my 10 back on sunday anyway?

Do I HAVE to pick my team by tonight if I'm not using anyone or can I wait?

Munson · October 17, 2013, 06:24:28 PM

I'm pretty sure all of our rosters locked last week after the thursday game, so I think you have to pick tonight

SD · October 17, 2013, 06:28:28 PM

n/m

reese125 · October 17, 2013, 06:37:00 PM

Yeah I forgot about that.

I'm changing it next time because there's always some unknown injury that pops up between now and Sunday that could farg some people. Im going to just stick with Sunday and Monday.

reese125 · October 17, 2013, 06:39:43 PM

We only have 5 heads in. Need the other 3-Sarge, Hb and SD or it doesn't run
