THE ROAD TO GLORY Pt. 2
SCRUBFEST 2011; The League, The Rules, The Players :Commissioner Kwiz
There are two primary factors that go into constructing a solid fantasy league. These two factors are sound, sensible rules, and solid, competitive & knowledgeable, active participants. I will now attempt to familiarize the readers here at FantasySavvy.com with SCRUBFEST (SF 2011) as a League by its rules, participants, and then detail the results of our first week of play.
SF 2011 was constructed as a 16 team Head-to-Head league, with 4 divisions, and 4 teams contained within each of the divisions. Each team has a maximum roster space of 16 players which facilitates for 1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 Flex Play (W/R/T), 1 K, 1 Def, and 6 Bench Positions.

Final Thoughts
Week 1 of SCRUBFEST went every bit as well as expected, which isn’t saying much for the guys in SF 2011 who THOUGHT they were doing something special, only to find that they really wasn’t doing a damned thing! Oh well, there’s always next week… which SOUNDS good, until you realize its suddenly week 12 and you’ve been pretty much repeating that same ole tired, LOSER cliche’ every week like a scratched up, broken record. So to the managers of SF, do yourself a favor and save yourself the regret… Before you find yourself TOMORROW scratching your head trying to figure out where the hell your season went awry, quit scratching your ass TODAY and do something about that terrible wreck of a so-called team you’ve assembled! And to you readers here at FantasySavvy.com, stay tuned next week for another episode of THE ROAD TO GLORY, where I’ll be sure to break down the results of week 2 and give you some more inside the lines commentary LIVE & DIRECT from SF 2011.
