How the league works


Welcome to Sean's season of The Bachelor! Here are details on participation for this season:

  1. Financials. This year, everyone will be contributing $15 to participate in the league (with a goal of recruiting 20 people for the league so the prize money is good!). The money will be distributed as follows:
    1. Last woman standing. In the first week, you will select the one woman you think will win Sean's heart.  Anyone that accurately selects the last woman standing wins $20.
    2. First place: 60% of remaining winnings.
    3. Second place: 30% of remaining winnings.
    4. Third place: 10% of remaining winnings.
  2. Scoring. This season, rather than selecting a team each week, you will be selecting a team of FIVE women that will remain unchanged throughout the entire season, so pick wisely! You will accrue points if a woman on your team does any of the following behaviors:

In addition to the scoring outlined above, each week will include a weekly bonus (+20 points). Each week, you will be notified of the weekly bonus category and select one woman that you think will do the bonus activity. The woman you pick for the weekly bonus does not need to be on your team. The bonus was designed in the event that all of your team members are eliminated, you are still in the game!
