I floated this idea in the Board 8 sports discord, but wanted to open it to a wider audience. Years ago, somebody (Dr Football maybe?) operated a competition that had users involve themselves in a variety of fantasy sports leagues, tournies, and pick 'ems. The results of those competitions were tabulated into a master standings table. It was an interesting premise but very difficult because nobody involved is well-versed in every sport. I think eventually it feel off because participation by the entrants began to fall off, understandably so because this is a year-long commitment.

I am considering trying to bring it back before Fantasy Football kicks off for the season. I like the idea and feel equipped to try my hand at learning new sports via trying to run a successful fantasy team. However, to maintain momentum, there would need to be a committed group of participants willing to be active in every league regardless of their knowledge of the sport or event. That's why this topic is merely gauging interest as opposed to launching the project.

Here are the competitions I'd make eligible (so far):

Fantasy Football
Fantasy Premier League Soccer (this has already kicked off but leagues can still be made)
Fantasy Basketball
Fantasy Hockey
Fantasy Baseball
NCAAM Basketball Tournament
NCAAW Basketball Tournament
NCAAF Bowl Pick 'Em
MMA Pick 'Em (we'd pick the numbered UFC main cards for a year)

I'd be willing, and hopeful, to add more but that is when you start getting into the more obscure and harder to play sports. I've also toyed with one-off pick 'em events like Triple Crown horse races and the Royal Rumble as sort of side competitions to earn additional points.

Of course, all of this planning is moot should nobody be interested. If you think you could commit to playing and being active in various fantasy sports leagues regardless of your knowledge in the sport itself, say so here. If you have ideas to make this more appealing, please present them. If the interest isn't there, well, c'est la vie I suppose.
