Yahoo Fantasy Basketball

I'm not sure if this is the right section for me to post this, but I thought... ehh... might as well.

I'm sure that this has been done before, but it'd be fun to have a NLSC fantasy league. I always play Fantasy Basketball... and well, it'd be nice to be in a league that will actually be competitive.

Anyone interested?

Probably gonna be a basic-format league, nothing too special... more of a for fun kinda thing.

(Mods, feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section)

played twice. and won once. but most fantasy league players get lazy when they start losing and in the end, there's like only 2-3 guys playing by the playoffs. that's a big let down.

however, i support the idea. this should be fun.

We usually put fantasy NBA topics in the Sports Lounge though I'm not sure why since they're NBA related after all. I don't see why it can't stay here.

As for the league, I'll have to give it a miss myself. I'm not all that keen on fantasy sports and the last thing those leagues need is someone who's not really into it and not actively taking part half the time.

Doobie has a league set up already.

usually Matthew runs the leagues every year so maybe we should wait for him.

Why? Pavel wants to set up a league this year, so let's let him do that instead of waiting for someone who might not even show up till next month.

If we need more people for an "official one" just let me know. I'll set my draft picks (if possible) and never participate again. (If not asked for trades obviously.)

I haven't done a league in years, ever since I picked Mehmet Okur (first year in Utah) and a bunch of other "bums" and finished second. I think everyone in the league died though. Sometime in February I sent a bunch of trade offers, and didn't even get rejections.

Well, I'm pretty damn ready to do this.

It's nothing "official", just a kinda for fun thing... to get some competition in Yahoo Fantasy for a change. This will have nothing to do with the other fantasy leagues going on from this side... just a "for fun" kinda thing.

I'll set up a regular league, would you guys rather have a head-to-head or a rotisserie league?

I'll leave the other settings the way Yahoo has it... basic positions and two utility spots...

Autopick draft because of the time zones and all...

Yet again, just a for fun thing.

Why no live draft? I know you've said because of the time zones, but for those that can't make it can just autopick it anyway. Let those who can make it have a live draft.

Q may I ask how come there is no bench at all? This basically means you don't need to set your rosters and the only thing you go on to do is check if you won or pick up/ drop people or trade right?
