fantasy nba never works out. at least half the league ALWAYS stops setting their players. then again that probably happens in every fantasy sport when their team sucks. theres just no integrity in fantasy sports.

[BankItDrew]

*bump*
the draft is slowly approaching
i have noticed that someone has recently become chicken shit and dropped out
an odd # of teams means a bye week each week for one team

come on FTR! get a joining!

[bode]

i may get in this weekend. i like the idea of a salary cap manager type instead because its still competitive if you forget sometimes.

[tom]

I would love to add $$ as well.

We could always have side bets where we pool the $$ and give it all to the team who finishes 1st amongst the people who paid.

$20?

I'm in

[Ragnar4]

I would play,

But I hate basketball.

so no thanks.

[BankItDrew]

I hate basketball.

I didn't know you were a faggot

[Ragnar4]

Lol.

Liking Hockey, MMA, and Football, but not liking Baseball and Basketball makes me a fag?

I thought you poker playin' guys were *good* at logic.

I'm thinking I wont be able to make this unless the draft is earlier in the day or like 11EST. I have a company dinner to go to from 7-9pm CST= 8-10pm EST.

so if people that are participating could move either direction that'd be cool, if not I'll make sure and set my lists so I get Ben Wallace first pick(fingers crossed)

[tom]

and I'm going to invite my roommate to play cause our leagues are always just me and him playing against each other w/ 6 other people who don't set their schedules

[Trashcona]

My schedule is pretty clear for Sunday seeing as the Packers have their bye. If the time needs to be changed I'm ok with whatever as long as I know ahead of time.

[Ragnar4]

Lol.

[BankItDrew]

I can make the Draft time 11pmEST if enough people in the league agree to it

So I guess that's 3 people so far that are good for that time...

[bigspenda73]

anytime is ok, i may or not make it even if I am around

[BankItDrew]

four

[BankItDrew]

Guys, I can't change the draft date from 9pm est to 11pm est today. We have options though: keep it the way it is, or have the draft another day.

Let me know what you think.

[bikes]

Rdy now. But I dont have a problem with waiting a bit.

[bigspenda73]

I'm around right now and not doing anything

[BankItDrew]

k we'll do 9pm est

[BankItDrew]

we need an even # of teams to do a liv draft, invite your friends by clicking on the link under the teams names in the league lobby

GOGOGOGO

[bikes]

ffs just invite a random douche off the street.

[BankItDrew]

This is a total points league, which means:
each position is allotted 82 games played
you are rewarded points for the following categories:
Total Points = +1
3 Pointers = +2
Assists = +2
Rebounds = +2
Blocks = +2
Steals = +2
Turnovers = -2

[Trashcona]

Hey, what's going on?

[BankItDrew]

Draft takes place tomorrow, sorry guys, didnt know about the required even # of teams for a live draft until I received the e-mail notification from Yahoo! an hour ago.

please state times between 9am-5pm EST

Commissioner epic fail

[Trashcona]

oh noes, 9am EST is probably the only time I can do it

[BankItDrew]

it only allows for 9am to 5pm atm for some fucked reason

[Trashcona]

Wait, I count 8 teams. I'm confused.

[bikes]

pick a different date imo.

Also I'm down for 20 if were doing that

[BankItDrew]

two friends of mine joined

please state diff dates and times and weèll see what we can do... before wed. is best, i think season begins tuesday

[Trashcona]

So, is there zero chance that this can happen tonight? If that's the case, other then bright and early tomorrow, I'll be hit and miss the rest of the time so, w/e.

[BankItDrew]

i can do bright and early tomorrow...anyone else

[BankItDrew]

and no... the earliest i can set the time for a live draft is tomorrow in the AM

[bikes]

Bright and early is fine so long as it is like the earliest bright and early can be.

[BankItDrew]

9AM EDT tomorrow good for 3 people thus far

[tom]

how long does a live draft typically take? I'll be able to make it for the first part, but will have to peace out about 30 min into it, which is fine w/ me

[BankItDrew]

each pic is alloted 90 seconds.

i think the avg pic will be about 25 seconds or so... so you will get a bunch of rounds in with 8 teams after 30 min

[BankItDrew]

drafting in 3 min

[BankItDrew]

So the draft has taken place and the teams are set. If you click on your team or any team, click on 2007-08, it'll show you how many points each player received last year under this leagues settings. Looks like guards are where it's at after all!

Here is how I ranked each team:





If anyone wants to put $20 on this league, I'm game, and we don't need to have everyone involved to put money on the line

If you guys want me to make any changes or recommendations to the league, just post messages in the league homepage. Maybe something that would benefit the big men? lol.....

[tom]

what about some sort of FG% stat? Don't know if thats possible in a non head to head league.

[BankItDrew]

many stats are still available

this is the first time i've done this sort of scoring system and i'm learning things along the way. for example: total points should have much less weight than total steals or; assists should have more weight than rebounds... that sort of thing. In this league, one steal gives you just as many points as a block.... seems wrong IMO... I can change it if requested.

please make the request... for my big teams sake

[bikes]

FFS this is what I get for oversleeping.

[BankItDrew]

FFS this is what I get for oversleeping.

i set my alarm and now i'm tired for the rest of the day... besides, you got kobe... you must have drafted high.

yea this seemed weird to me too
hard to change too much w/o biasing somebody's team though

what if we call points worth 1, rebounds 2, and everything else 3?

or maybe he accidentally put him on the top of his draft order and timed out!

but shit like that doesn't really happen does it?!

the new team name is golden btw

[bigspenda73]

are you fucking serious, all I got was boozer

[tom]

nah you can ride dirk and caron for a while

[bigspenda73]

seriously I will trade Dirk for a lesser player right now if anyone wants him, having a Mav on my team is tilting me.

[bikes]

Whoever the hell buzz is.

Steve Nash for Billups. Its already proposed.

Please take this scum bag off my hands and give me the living god.

[bigspenda73]

[BankItDrew]

[tom]
