Fantasy Basketball 

Post#1 » by younggunsmn » Wed Sep 16, 2009 10:24 pm

Fantasy Basketball is started up again.
I don't know what you guys have done here in the past with board leagues and such,
but I'm tentatively starting up a yahoo league if I can get enough interest here.
Up to 12 teams, I'd like at least 10.
Wolves fans only please, fantasy experience is not a requirement.

It will be head to head, standard 9 category scoring with weekly roster changes,
up to 50 transactions and league votes to reject trade.
you play 12 players with 3 bench spots.
randomly generated snaking draft order.

Any takers?

live draft, you can pre-rank your players in case you can't make it.

good idea. we can vote on how many to keep if everyone is up for it.
anywhere from 3-5 is normal.

one of the best things about fantasy b-ball is it gives you an investment in games that would otherwise not be so interesting. like cheering for missed free throws for guys on the team you're playing against.

jump in mcfale, that's 12 when dunkonyou21 signs in.
I have it set for 6pm central on sunday 9-27, but 's just a rough date until we figure out what will work for the most people. I'm thinking probably no earlier than 6pm central on a weekday.
