Re:

That second name sounds like it fits a soft rock cover band more than a basketball team.

Anybody remember the rock band named Mookie Blaylock?

lol I never know how a league works until after the first few weeks. Unless it's Bullscast league, then I don't know until the season is pretty much over.

I just set my lineups and go. Probably not the best strategy in most cases :unsure:

Re:

The system works by having two teams go head to head for a week. During that week, they calculate for each stat. Points, rebounds, assists, etc. I believe there are 8 stats. Each stat represents a game, your team's points, rebounds, assists, etc. So for each category you win, you get a win and you get a loss for every category your opponent wins. Ties go to the home team.

So when you draft, it is important to find players that have some efficiency in as many areas as possible. For example, while Shaq should help a lot with rebounds and even points, he will hurt you a lot in free throw percentage.

Lineup changes are locked by the time of your first game of the day.

Roster changes are locked by the time of the first league game of the day.

Make as many trades as you want until 2/17/2010, but if 4 owners veto the trade, it won't happen, (I love this rule!!!)

Player goes through waivers for two days, where you are on the waiver list changes according to your record, best record is last on waivers list, worst is first on the list.

The regular season will cover the first 18 weeks of the NBA season, Week 19 starts the playoffs.

The two division winners will have byes, seeds 3-6 will be decided strictly by record. I have already placed the divisions using Random.org (love this site...)

Remaining teams will be involved in a consolation ladder tournament, and we will decide how to handle the draft next year (according to record, consolation ladder results, etc).

Any questions, put them on this particular thread.

I would suggest to all of you that you make this thread a favorite, because I will use this thread to interact with everyone, along with the fantasy site of course. But this can be a meeting place for everybody.

Again, ask any questions,


WE NEED 1 MORE TEAM!

Re:

Well the league is full!

The Founding Fathers have been......found...

Anyway, thanks to you guys for being so prompt and helping me fill this league up

I will work hard to make the league a good league for everyone involved. I just want to have good fun, and I hope everyone else does the same, win or lose...

Again, there will be a waiting list, if one of the owners have to vacate, whoever is next takes over that team (may be a championship team, may be a bad team) and plays the game.

When will the fantasy season end? Should be after the NBA season and before the playoffs, huh?

Re:

Nice :)

I just noticed that there are players who are only listed for one position.

For example Rafer Alston is a pure PG while Kirk Hinrich is listed as a PG/SG. Does this mean I only can play Alston at the PG spot? So with players who are listed with two positions I would be more flexible right?

Or don´t we have to care about this?

Re:

It is live, there will be 90 seconds between picks and if you miss the draft, the computer will draft for you using its rankings. The draft order is randomly decided by the website an hour before the draft.

I am hoping to have the draft around October 17th or 18th.

As far as positions go, I don't believe it matters, you have to have a certain amount of guards and forwards on your roster. I believe you can plug them in as you see fit.

Please log on to the league homepage and vote in the polls!

Thanks.
