WELCOME TO FANTASY CUBING 2015 EVERYONE!!!
I'm really, really excited for what we have for you guys today!
Before we get into it, I just want to give a big thanks to Nathan Bierema who has been working very hard over the past few weeks to get the new version of the website up and running.
First, check out the updated website: http://fantasy.cubing.net/
Instead of using a messy google form, you now register for Fantasy Cubing.
This year we are using an EXCITING NEW SYSTEM!!!
The scoring has stayed the same, but your team now has a salary cap that you will be grappling with all year long as you swap players onto and off of your team.
You can change two players every month, but players get more expensive as the year goes on.
You can learn all about this new team management system here.
We believe that this system will eliminate some of the shortcomings that Fantasy Cubing had last year. Here are the advantages of the new system:
-Increase in strategy and engagement year long.
-It will encourage people to choose less valuable players who will give a higher return.
-It will encourage people to choose players based on knowledge of the cubing community.
-You can correct mistakes from earlier in the year, but at a cost.
Many of you might be wondering why salaries go up as the year goes on. This is best explained using the example of Sameer Mahmood who scored 11637 points at his first competition in 2013. Because it was his first competition, his salary was 0 beforehand. If salaries did not go up based on number of points scored, then after an event like that everyone in Fantasy Cubing would put him on their team for free. Instead, people will have to make a serious decision about whether it is worth 11637 points of their salary cap to put Sameer on their team for the rest of the year.
We have spent a long time thinking about this new system and we think it is sound.
Team management is open!!!

NOTE: I understand that you guys will have tons of questions. I will try to field every question here, but I implore you guys to read both the FAQ and the rules section carefully before asking anything. We will be updating the FAQ and the Clarifications section of the rules as we go along.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
