OT: 2018 RealGM 76ers Forum Fantasy BBall League 

Post#1 » by GoSixersBro » Tue Aug 15, 2017 12:55 pm

Hi everyone,

With the NBA regular season beginning ~1 week earlier in October this year, I figured we'd get the ball rolling for our seventh season of the RealGM 76ers Forum Fantasy Basketball League.

It was AIR's Amazing Team who took the 2017 crown (his second championship title overall in this league) back in April so congratulations once again to our defending champ.

Below you can find the final 2016-2017 standings. Managers from last season who were active will have top priority to re-registering for our 2017-2018 league. If you participated and are interested in playing again in 2017-2018, please reply and let me know which team below was yours along with your email address (PM it to me if you do not want it public).

I have changed the league to having only 12 teams this season as opposed to 14 which we used last year. The idea of 14 competitive teams who set their line-ups regularly does sound the most intriguing and challenging IMO, but in a non-cash league with Internet strangers, it's just not that likely everyone will stay the course from October until April. Towards after All-Star break this past season we only had around 10-11 managers of the 14 actually still trying to win.

  • AIR's Amazing Team
  • Stanford (one year hiatus)
  • *Piavo
  • *Embiid4Prez
  • *Cincinnati Sixers
  • *eyeatoma Imperators
  • *Floppers
  • *Cru Thik
  • Emel Jobiid (retired)
  • *Wzrd's of Westwood
  • *PhilasFinest
  • *Go Back to Sea World

    New Managers in 2017-2018
  • agiaco
  • A Team Has No Name

* denotes returning for 2017-2018 season

If you are a new fan to the RealGM Sixers forum and are interested in playing, you may also reply with your e-mail address and I will keep you on a list to secure any unwanted teams on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Also feel free to use this thread for any suggestions/comments/complaints regarding the league rules, draft format, etc. I know some of you expressed interest in not playing Head 2 Head this year so maybe we can get a vote on that too. (We will discuss/create a poll for a draft date/time at a later time).

I'm back too (Piavo)

I like the suggestion of maybe reducing the league to 12 GMs. Also good to know that you kept track of those not active (someone even stopped playing right after the draft if I remember correctly)

I think I prefer the head 2 head format, but I could get used to something else if the majority wants it.

Looking forward to another fun season.

Head to head, 9 cat (FG%, FT%, PTS, 3PM, REB, AST, STL, BLK, TO), 2 adds per week, random snake draft

These are negotiable if majority owners want to change anything however.

Go sixers bro I have a couple of questions about league settings? Can we have a vote to revert back to the standard yahoo H-H settings? The settings on this league took me by surprise with summer but changes... It's not a deal breaker for me but I read wondering what brought about those big changes in the composition of the lineup etc...

Checking in for the 2018 season.

It would be great having only 12 teams. Also please lets draft at night this year. No more drafting first thing in the morning on a Sunday.

I believe that's based on a vote... Fair enough if everyone votes for that, if not, it make sense to go with the majority...

Number of players playing on a specific bench... We had a lot of players in the bench last year... The composition of the lineup for each day is also vastly different than yahoo's default settings...

Okay I have been using the same roster settings for over 6 seasons now so I don't remember the default settings. As of now we play with 8 starters (1 PG, 1 SG, 1 G, 1 SF, 1 PF, 1 F, 2 C) with 6 bench players and 1 injured reserve. I'm not completely opposed to reducing the bench spots by 1 or 2, but having 12 teams instead of 14 should make the free agent pool stronger enough by default of having less teams.
