What the **** are these clowns doing? An entry fee for the privilege of continuing to get to play category scoring?
Hi guys!
Long time no talk.
Glad to see you guys are looking for a way to push through.
Just wanted to give you an update from a little way behind the curtain.
I've been working with a guy named Danny Page from dannybetsnba on a bunch of NBA statistical data stuff.
As soon as UF went down I jumped at the potential chance to develop a replacement to help fill that gap in the market. Even if it looked like s**t, I just wanted it to be functionally the same. Part of this meant I to reach out to the AFL for an API to use for live data updates.
NO deal, which was the expected response. However, UF then almost immediately updated their site with the survey about a paid service.
The belief now is that the AFL deal went through too close to the start of the season for them to implement category scoring on their site/app. So the plan was to ride out 2023 and then relaunch categories in 2024.
Why they didnt keep UF in place for one more year, I don't know, but now that they are putting a $ value on it I think that they are going to spend the cash to roll out categories for THIS season and try to recoup the rush job costs from the fans.
Either way, I hope you boys stick with it because I'm 99% certain it'll only be a single season blip before categories are back with a vengeance next year!
Good luck, have fun!
Cheers
Lee
****ing campaigners, you already have the code, what possible costs have arisen??Please note that in order to cover some of the costs of operating the game, there will be a fee involved to continue your league.
UF have today announced that the fee charged for Category Leagues in 2023 will be $20 per team. I feel that is too high, considering we are likely to have at least a couple of non returners.CATEGORY LEAGUES ARE RETURNING
Thanks to the support of AFL Fantasy and the results of the recent survey, we are happy to announce that category leagues are coming back and will be available on the Ultimate Footy platform in 2023.
Please note that in order to cover some of the costs of operating the game, there will be a fee involved to continue your league. Full details will be available on site once we re-open in approximately two weeks time. We thank you again for your support and hope you’re as excited as us to be able to keep playing the category format in 2023 and beyond!
Just waiting to see how many are still interested given that UF are charging $20 per team this year. If there's enough interest, the league will be restored.Thought I'd be getting notifications but mustn't have followed the thread, is this still on?
No. It's a fee to keep them running the site to be able to support category leagues. Hopefully next year when they migrate to the afl site the fee goes.$20 geez i really enjoyed last year. if needed I will. does the winner get their money back at the end of the year?
Yes, unfortunately only very limited interest in keeping the league going at $20 per headSo I take it this is dead? So f’d off….. I loved this format. Anyone have any other leagues going where a coach has dropped out let me know??
