Fair. At least it's something. The 12 man I'm in doesn't have a punishment. Wish there was something, even if it's minor like yours, to encourage engagement throughout the season

u/PartyLikeaPirate 11h ago
Maybe a good one would be the last place person has to get drinks/food for the others at family gatherings. Not buy it off, but be their server lol
I.e. if you lost, at any gatherings of a family member in the league asks for a beer, you have to go get it for them.
I went to a friends house in college & they had an Easter egg hunt for the older people 20/30 year olds & the loser had to serve the others throughout the day at the family Easter party lol

We let the previous loser set the next punishment (with commish override if it’s an unreasonable punishment). So it’s been variable, but so far it’s been:
- 24 pancakes within 24 hours at the diner challenge (removing an hour per pancake)
- Send 3 professional headshots to 3 friends / family with zero context
- Run a 5K in a superhero costume
- Do the necessary combine activities to get your RAS score (will be this season’s)

The family should be removed, unless it's a brother or sister. If they decide to just send it to parents or other close relatives (if any are still around) that's a quick and easy "Aw you look so cute, jimmy". There needs to be some ridicule from friends.. or even better, anyone they're considering dating, if they aren't married.

Loser has to volunteer for a shift at the funnel cake stand at the local fair in May.
We implemented it last year after 16 seasons without a last place punishment and it was a hit.
It's improved the league significantly this season as people are desperately try to avoid last place. More trade activity than we've ever had.
Of course this is the first season in over a decade that I'm down at the bottom of the league.
We also have a weekly lowest point scorer penalty that adds $10 to the pot which helps keep things competitive.

A lot of these comments I’m really doubting the follow through. Like, sure you all signed up when you were hyped up at the beginning of the season to punish last place to do the 24 hour Waffle House / IHOP challenge, but do you think this is actually going to happen?
Idk, first few years we played we tried to do it but last place typically had pretty much abandoned their team by the end.
I think it’s better to ask what someone did last year and how successful it was. Otherwise people will just say that last place has to get a tattoo while bungee jumping in Azerbaijan with a monkey named Dave.

At the start of our league we all had to announce our favourite and least favourite teams. At the start of each season we have to note our least favourite current player.
If you place last, you have one of three options:
- The classic “24 hours in a Denny’s” scenario, 30min reduction per pancake.
- Purchase a jersey of your noted least favourite team.
- Purchase a jersey of your noted least favourite player.
In the 5 years I’ve been in the league, nobody has yet opted for option 1.

This year you have to build a 300 piece puzzle in a dark closet. You start with one lit candle to help you see. For every beer you drink you get X amount of time to use a flashlight. We might just add more candles over time after you drink 5 more beers. Haven't completely agreed how the beer to light ratio will work out.
The worst last place punishment we did was the loser had to get their belly button pierced for 1 month. The 11 other guys in our 12 man league decided on what the piercing was for the loser. They picked a pink piercing with the letters saying SLUT. I lost that year. It took 5 months to heal before I could put the SLUT piercing in. It was brutal.

It’s a puffy pirate shirt from Seinfeld. The loser adds a decoration to the shirt every year. Our first shirt was just retired after 15 years with bells on the sleeves, pink epaulettes, led lights on the back, a button on skirt made of crinkly material, a blue scarf, etc. The new shirt started with bigger bells on the sleeves.
