August 3rd Events

August 3 is a big day for Discover Point. Not only does our new sermon series "Basic" begin but we have a back to school cook-out and fantasy football draft. Ok first the cook-out will be held in the gym at Peachtree academy directly after the service. We will have a sign up sheet to bring side dishes this coming week. You don't have to sign up bring one to attend. I am assuming we will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs. I will let you know if that changes.

The second event on that day is very close to my heart. I love fantasy football! You don't have to know how to play to join the DP League. I will try to do a little explaining in this blog. Fantasy football is a game where a group of people draft real players that play in the NFL. Your team earns points based on what your players do every week (ex one of your players scores a touchdown your team gets 7 points). Each week your team goes up against another team in the league and who ever scores the most points wins. Whoever team has the most wins at the end of the season wins. There is more to it than that because you can trade players, drop and ad players and other stuff. We will be playing on ESPN. They allows us to have free leagues and we can keep up with our teams online. You need to register with ESPN and join the league before the draft begins. I will be able to help you if you have issues To register go to ESPN FAnTAsY FOOTBALL and click the register tab at the top of the page. Go through all of the registration steps and please write down your user name and password (PHILIP I am talking to You!). Once you have creates an account send me an email brad@discoverpoint.org and I will send you an invite to the league. For more information go to ESPN FFL and read the rules and read about what players you can draft and overall general strategy. Everyone is welcome to join and play. If you have any questions fell free to email.

For clarification on August the 3rd we will be drafting our teams (Picking our players). A player can only be on one team. For example Peyton Manning can be picked by one team.
