    This league will be a fun league and not overly competitive "buy in" is as follows:

    3 Bombers OR
    2 12oz(same beer) 2bombers OR
    2 12oz, 2 12oz, bomber OR
    2 12oz(same beer)2 12oz(same beer)2 12oz(same beer)

    its not to much but between 10 people the prizes will be nice.

    i want the payout so everyone gets 1 bomber (or equivalent) but 1-3 get the majority.
    1st-13, 2nd-6, 3rd-4, 4th-10th-1

    it will be draft style for the prizes,

    1st- first 5 picks
    2nd- next 5
    3rd- next 4(all your prize)
    2nd- last pick
    1st-rest of prize picks
    4th - 10th in order pick one

    Beers dont have to be extremely high tier beer but nothing that you wouldnt want to have yourself, as if youre 10th it could be your beer youre left with.

    THE POINT IS TO SPREAD BEER YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE.

    I will creat the league this weekend and have the info ready for people as they want in.

    With the payouts of everyone getting a bomber, does this mean people are going to have to ship to potentially two or three people? I don't know if I want to ship to three separate people, as the shipping costs would be 3x what they would be if I just had to send 1 box to 1 winner (or 2nd place etc.)

    @Shandycan it's gonna be a Yahoo league. @tommyguz and as far as shipping, that's something we can discuss and find what works for everyone. like i said it's a rough draft I'm open to hear what everyone has to say.

    Cool, I'm probably interested if we can figure out how to organize the winnings without making everyone send off multiple shipments

    Still working on the idea, but it's in progress. What if we bump it up to the equivalent of 4 bombers? That puts 40 in the pool.

    First place can chose whether they want to ship or not (if they don't ship their allotment goes down by 4). First place is the only one who can make this decision. Beers are packaged in twos, so no one has to ship to more than 2 places.

    1st - 16
    2nd - 8
    3rd- 4
    4-9 2 beers each
    10 - nothing. You came in last.

    Just a suggestion, maybe someone can improve on it.

    I know I can probably speak to @Shandycan too, but I don't want to get into something then have to work out details and end up being outvoted and have to ship to two or three different people...I'd rather just ship to one person if I get in a baseball league (which I have been looking to do on here)

    Are you set on everyone getting beer? Why not just split 10 boxes between the Top 3?

    i see your point @tommyguz but in the same sense, if only the top three get beer(or money), in my experience, people stop trying. if more people get a prize it stays competitive the whole time. i honestly dont know shipping costs in other parts of the country, but here shipping a bomber alone is not very expensive. @Syracuse12 i do like the idea of bumping it up to 4 with a 2an2 deal. that way the winners have more of a choice. limiting the winners to having to take beers that they dont want is silly in my eyes. i dont see the big deal with shipping, its not like shipping a case or something. i cost me $18 to ship 12 beers so shipping 2 small packages shouldnt cost much. thats kinda where im at on the shipping, personaly i would have no problem shipping 3 bombers to dif people. im in leagues with 100 and 150$ buyins so either way we go with the prize is fine with me. im just trying to maximize the veriety of beer that we get.

    Yeah. I get all those points.

    Maybe a 2 and 2 package thing isn't so bad. Where you have to send 4 bombers out, but have to ship no more than to two people?

    So as @Syracuse12 said 2 and 2 package might not be bad as long as the winner knows they must pick beers by the twosome.

    Sorry for all the questions, I just like to know how things are lined up and all the rules before joining something (not just in here but everywhere) so as to no surprises.

    So do we list the beers we would send before the season starts or how would that work?

    @tommyguz that 2n2 sounds like the best way to get the most variety with out having to ship 4 dif packages. yeah i say when picking prize beers you have to pick at least 2 at a time from a person and if they have 3 you want, you have to take all 4.(if you get what im sayin) or just leave it for someone else.

    as for listing the beers, i think there should be a deadline like allstar break or something to have beers listed. there are a lot of releases between now and oct so i think we would be limiting ourselves if we listed them before the season.. thoughts on that @tommyguz , @Syracuse12 , @dwmetsfan13 @KornWallace

    I agree it would be nice if we didn't have to send out boxes to multiple people but it is tough to make the numbers work out.

    I like @Syracuse12 's suggestion of 16/8/4/2/2/2/2/2/2/0.
