Hey SI, how about:

Fantasy Fanatics 1
Fantasy Fanatics 2

I think that's 18 characters each.

Yeah that's 1 of the 2 options.  Problem is there is another newish group (FB only I think) with the name so the NRL bit in our Fantasy Fanatics is what sets us apart but it won't fit.  Also for this year only we have been incorporating ex Sportal in all the names so the other option is:

NRLFF exSportal 1
NRLFF exSportal 2

We are dropping the ex Sportal but next year but trying to get it in everywhere, even if it only prompts 1 old poster to search for us.  But yeah, problem with that one is it's only an acronym.

Yes I see your point SI.

How about

Sportal (NRLFF) 1
Sportal (NRLFF) 2

OR

exSportal(NRLFF) 1
exSportal(NRLFF) 2

OR

NRLFF(exSportal) 1
NRLFF(exSportal) 2

OR (your suggestion)

NRLFF exSportal 1
NRLFF exSportal 2

The first two options make it clearer that we are still the Sportal group, which still has a profile in NRL fantasy comps.

The last two options promote NRL Fantasy Fanatics, except that the acrynom NRLFF is meaningless to outsiders.

Use of brackets in the first 3 options make it clearer (than the fourth option) that the second name is an aside/aka/alias.

We probably want to make sure we are distinguished from the wig-wearing tennis fans too.

Maybe we should be called the NRL Fantasy FOOLS to avoid confusion with all other FANATICS groups.

It's a comp for NRL nerds anyone who see's the league names won't be mixing us up with anyone. I thanks fantasy fanatics will be fine. They will also see the names on the fantasy platform as I think ST is the only person who only plays dreamteam.

Good point Krumpy.

What are the leagues called in NRLF? I assume you guys have sorted out the naming for them, so why wouldn't we use the same names in VSDT (or does NRLF allow more than 18 characters)?

Will explain tonight or tomorrow.  Expect codes from BEnder and Welshy tonight/tomorrow morning.  I will post seedings soon

Good point will PM Captains, I do think they capitalise them regardless from memory .

I had it as FANATICSexSPORTAL originally but figured they may can us with the Sex bit.
