I am looking for some superstar exam takers for the AFL draft which is this Friday. If you have the name (& exam #) of a superstar exam taker (e.g. yourself, if you are confident that you'll pass) that you wouldn't mind distributing, please let me know.
Concept: The concept of an actuarial fantasy league is of a similar nature with fantasy football or rotisserie baseball. You and your office mates draft a roster of actuarial students and your team's success is determined by how those students perform on the actuarial exams.
Teams:
1. Teams shall consist of 9 players.
2. You must have someone sitting for each of exams being taken
3. You can also have 3 "Flex" players who can sit for any exams.
4. Players are mutually exclusive within a league. No one player can be owned by 2 people participating in the same league.
5. Owners within the league can be players and owned by other owners within the league.
Draft:
1. Order of the draft to be determined at the league's discretion.
*note* if your league has 10 or fewer owners a really actuarially appropriate way to assign draft order is to place the names in order, pick a random high digit of pi, and assign each person the next unique digit.
2. The initial draft should be carried out in a top to bottom--bottom to top format
3. Subsequent drafts should be bottom to top for each round
4. The draft should take place between 2 and 3 weeks before the first exam of the season.
Rosters:
1. After each round of exams, an owner may protect up to 4 members of their team in lieu of using the last 4 picks in the draft. If 2 or more of those are taking the same exam, the others must be "Flex" players. These protected players must be announced 1 week before the draft.
2. Trades are allowed in the period between the exams and the next draft.
Scoring:
1. You only get points for players who pass their exam. You get 11 points for exam 1, 12 for exam 2, etc.
2. If one of your players passes 2 exams in 1 sitting, you get a 5 point bonus. "the FRANCE"
3. If you have players pass exams 1, 2, 3, and 4 you get a 5 point bonus. "the Multiple Choice"
4. If you have players pass exams 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 or 6, you get another 5 point bonus. "the ASA"
Winning:
1. After each round of exams, you will have both a round winner and an overall leader
2. The overall leader standings should be based on the previous 2 exams and present exam.
