A New Reality for QFL Host

For those QFLers who thought we were alone in our insanity or thought we had reached our peak rule book length, think again. A new service, Reality Sports Online, discovered by SuperQuince runner-up Rob NOJOQ of The Deuce may spur a new era of rule making or even finally become the new host platform to replace A.S.S. that we’ve been searching for for years.

From A New Reality for Fantasy Football

Fantasy football is all about you being the GM, acquiring the talent necessary to dominate the other would-be GMs in your league. And each nuance in the evolution of the game is an attempt to bring fantasy closer to reality.

The brain trust behind RSO comes to the table with experience not only in fantasy football but also in the real world of the NFL; that background has helped them construct a realistic general manager’s experience that includes the world’s first Free Agency Auction Room.

You’re already familiar with an auction—in my opinion the fairest method ofdistributing players; if you want a guy you don’t have to hope he’s there at your draft slot, you just open up the wallet and pay for him.

And you’re familiar with dynasty leagues, where you make a commitment to a player for more than just one season and try to build a juggernaut based on your astute prognostication skills.

RSO combines these two elements into its patent-pending Free Agency Auction Room, where fantasy owners can negotiate multi-year contracts in real time. Using an algorithm based on their front-office experience—which takes into account real-world factors like guaranteed money and per-year average—RSO automatically calculates the next-best deal a player would likely accept for contract lengths ranging from one to four years.

Say LeSean McCoy is on the block with a four-year offer worth $105 mil, the Free Agency Auction Room provides four options (one of each length) for you to beat that deal: a one-year, $45.5 million deal; a two-year, $73 million contract; a three-year, $91.5 million offer; and a four-year deal that sweetens the pot to $105.5 mil.

Lose a player to injured reserve? You get cap relief just like the NFL, with only half that player’s salary counting against your cap so you have money available for a replacement.

Even the rookie draft, with slotted contracts based on real-world numbers, and the game’s $120.6 million salary cap are designed to mimic actual NFL rules for the ultimate real/fantasy experience.

And finally, you can franchise a player after their contract expires—and his franchise tag salary will be the average of the top five salaries at that position in your league.
