I have been wanting to get a site up and running that would handle fantasy football leagues. Something like what you see on espn.com...rtsports.com or any of the other hundreds of sites out there.

I want it to include everything from registering accounts to taking payments for league entry fees to being able to host live online drafts for leagues to managing teams from the site and everything in between. Obviously someone with bit of knowledge about this game would be benificial. I have very limited programming experience but I am an IT professional so I can figure enough out once the base site is in place to keep it managed and up to date.

I don't have a HUGE budget to start off for something like this but we can negotiate terms and schedule payments at different stages of the project. I can pay some up front but would want to see where we're headed and how we will get there before I can just fork over a lump sum of cash.

I'm going to try and post inquiries like this to several forums and sites so please be in touch if you interested in tackling this project with me. Thanks!

Moved to the correct forum.

Depending on the level of detail you want, this could be a quite large project. You will need to know PHP and SQL pretty much as a minimum.

Sorry I wasn't sure where to put the new thread...

I know enough of both of those to basically be able to understand what I'm looking at once it's in place. I'm not good at coming up with the original code which is why I'm finally breaking down and looking for others to help me. The main apps would be the drafting app that determines who gets which players and then the stats updating app which would scan the updated stats from an official site like nfl.com or something and make the updates live on my database and seemingly look like it's updating for each user individually or i think there is a service at stats.com or something like that to use for this... The rest would be pretty basic sql database operations of just keeping track of which players are starting or on the bench or in the free agent pool of course.

I've got a tutorial on how to do logins with PHP and MySQL on this site. You can use that (those) as a basis.

So you think if I start with building these components myself that maybe I could get it pieced together without having to worry about hiring someone? Well I suppose it's worth a shot...can you link that tutorial? I'll try a search...

found the 4 part tutorial that looks interesting...probably help me with this quite a bit...thanks!!

or however many parts...lol...didn't see them all there at first

There's around 7 parts before I wandered off the project.
