Dumpy (Little) Football League: Preseason Week 3 Update

Welcome to Preseason Week 3 of the Dumpy (Little) Football League! As we gear up for another exciting season, let's dive into what's new and what you can expect.

Precursor to the Season

As we approach the start of the season, we're thrilled to announce that all members from last year have returned, and we're welcoming two new members, Jeff and Eli, into the fold. Their addition has brought an extra $100 to the collective prize pool, so the stakes are higher this year!

Key Dates & Updates

  • First Week Begins: Picks will be accepted starting at noon on September 4th. Be ready to lock in your choices!
  • Practice Survey: The practice survey is now live on the website, so make sure to check it out and familiarize yourself with the process.

Format Changes

This season, we’re introducing a new twist: three picks per week instead of two. This adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement to each matchup. Also, we technically now have two divisions, but this won’t change last year’s playoff format (it just helped with scheduling).

Work Done to Date

Our team has been hard at work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly this season. Here’s a rundown of what’s been accomplished so far:

  • Spread and Scores Scrapers: Both have been updated for accurate and timely data.
  • Spreadsheets: All related spreadsheets (Spread, Scores, Picks, Standings, Schedule) have been meticulously updated.
  • Picks & Survey Pages: We’ve revamped the format and updated the picks page to make your experience seamless.
  • Standings & Schedule Pages: Both pages have been refreshed to reflect the upcoming season and are live.

What’s Next?

There’s still some work to be done before the season kicks off:

  • Weekly Blogs & Surveys: These will be updated regularly throughout the season.
  • Discord: We’ll be updating our Discord server to keep communication and updates flowing.
  • Prizes Page: We’ll be revising this page to reflect the new prize pool and payouts.
  • Rules Page: An update is on the horizon to clarify any new changes for this season.

As we inch closer to the season’s start, stay tuned for more updates. We’re looking forward to another fun and competitive year in the Dumpy (Little) Football League. Get ready to make your picks, and may the best team win!
