The #SFB9 Fantasy Football Tournament
If you are reading this page, odds are you love to play fantasy football. It’s why you are here. The competition, the strategy, the camaraderie… at it’s best, it’s a game which bring people together and heightens our enjoyment of the NFL. There may be no other league which embodies these characteristics more than the Scott Fish Bowl. Entering it’s ninth season, the #SFB9 is an industry-wide fantasy football experience unlike any other. And now, a spot in this this exclusive tournament will be available to one lucky DLF subscriber.
What is the SFB9?
Well known to many in the industry, the Scott Fish Bowl is the world’s largest fantasy football Pro/Am tournament. In its ninth season, #SFB9 will bring together 900 teams in a massive fantasy football league run on myfantasyleague.com. The league will include leading industry analysts (including many of the writers and contributors you know from DLF) facing off against everyday fantasy football enthusiasts.
It’s not often you might find yourself in a league with the likes of Matthew Berry, Evan Silva, Field Yates, Jamey Eisenberg, Brad Evans, Bob Harris, Michael Fabiano, Sigmund Bloom, Ryan McDowell, and many other industry analysts. It’s exciting for everyone involved as it’s a fun and challenging field of competition where anything can happen, and anyone can win it all!
Named after it’s creator, Scott Fish, the tournament began from humble beginnings and has grown in size and notoriety every year. You can read more about the SFB & Scott Fish here, if you are interested. But every year the rules are tweaked and changed, and often the SFB league rules influence rules in innovative leagues for years to follow. While not a dynasty league, it’s just about the most challenging redraft league you’ll ever play in!
Moreover, #SFB help raise funds for Scott’s other great passion, #FantasyCares.
What is #FantasyCares?
Anyone who knows Scott will tell you what an awesome human being he is. Not just one of the nicest people in the the fantasy football industry, Scott is always looking for ways to help people in need. In 2015, he started #FantasyCares as an informal fund-raising effort to purchase toys for kids in need at Christmas. Just like #SFB, the event has grown every year, and has become the major charitable fundraiser within the fantasy football community.
It’s been an amazing grass-roots effort that has grown through the hard work of Scott and the many volunteers in the fantasy industry. They help make the fundraising efforts fun and increasingly effective. You can read more about the history of these fundraisers on the FantasyCares website.
How can you help?
You can always donate directly to FantasyCares if you wish to help out that terrific cause. Many people elect to use a portion of the funds from their own fantasy leagues for #FantasyCares. Even if you prefer another charity, we encourage you to consider this strategy. It’s a great way to give some extra purpose to your league, knowing that a part of the league pool will go to help others in need, no matter the charity.
