OT: 2018 RealGM 76ers Forum Fantasy BBall League

[StaticRoar]

If any of you guys are interested in joining an additional league, I'm running the RealGM Fantasy Experience, a fantasy basketball league open only to affiliates of RealGM. We have fans from all over the NBA, but we could definitely use one or two Sixers fans. This is the fourth straight year I've run this league, and we chat on the Yahoo league messenger almost every day. Trades are frequent and the waiver wire is rampant. Plenty of people came back for Year 4, but we still need a few more members to reach 16. If you want to join, I really urge that you're someone who's not only going to be active in the league, but in the chat as well. Here are the league details:

Platform: Yahoo
Number of Teams: 16 (Top 8 make playoffs)
Format: Head-to-Head One Win
Categories: Standard 9 Category
Draft Type: Standard Live
Time of Draft: Sunday, October 15 8:00 PM Eastern Time (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN ATTEND!)

If you are interested in joining, message me with why you think you'd be a good fit for the league!

Another reminder our draft is live in approximately two hours. Arrive early to make sure your browser works. Thanks.

For some reason I logged in and our draft time has changed to 6:30 PM. I'm attempting to reach out to Yahoo customer support. My guess is an overload of drafts today may have pushed us out of the original time slot?

Anyway, be ready to draft at 6:00 in case I get this resolved, but it may be a half an hour later.

I apologize for the inconvenience but hope to see all managers there.

[GoSixersBro]

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our draft. I believe all but one manager attended, so there was an excellent turnout.

Our season begins tomorrow night October 17 so make sure to set your line-ups for Week 1!

Celtics @ Cavaliers 8:00 PM (CLE -3.5, O/U: 212)
Rockets @ Warriors 10:30 PM (GS -9.5, O/U: 232)

Obviously I won the draft with Embiid at #6, but who would you say is second?

[GoSixersBro]

Hey guys, just a heads up: This week's match-up (Week 18 & 19) will be a two week match-up due to the All-Star break. After that, there is only two more match-ups left in the season before the Playoffs. So make sure you set your line-ups early and often.

Another reminder that the trade deadline is March 1, just a little over two weeks away. So if you are trying to address some team needs, you do not have a ton of time left to do so.

Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone,

The Playoffs are back! Below is the bracket as well as the consolation bracket to the teams who did not qualify for the championship round. Thank you to all our managers who participated all year long. It was a close battle for the final playoff berths, which makes our league exciting every season. In fact, the sixth seed locked down by Cincinatti Sixers was won by a .006 win percentage. We had four teams qualify who did not make it in 2017 (Floppers, Wizrd's of Westwood, Cru Thik, and Str8 Cash Homie) as well as two teams who are back in the Playoffs again (Embiid4Prez, Cincinnati Sixers).

Hi managers!

I want to congratulate Wizrd's of Westwood for winning the 2017-2018 RealGM 76ers Forum Championship! It was another classic Finals match-up between WoW and my "Floppers" in the Finals, which came down to a 5-4 win. About 5 of the categories were extremely close, including FG% which WoW won by 0.003% (can't lie, I was up past 11 last night watching Brook Lopez end my hopes and dreams). But can't take any credit away from WoW's guys. His team has a MONSTER Sunday, collectively shooting 54.7% from the field (shoutout Marco Belinelli 9/10 FG for 22 points) and his guys also posted a notable 43 assists and 19 steals on the last day of the match-up.

Thank you to all of the managers who participated this season. It was certainly an unsual season with an abnormal amount of high impact players missing significant time or suffering season ending injuries early on. That is what makes this league so exciting because no matter how you draft or start the season, it's hard to predict where you will finish. With a little bit of luck or just being on top of the free agent pool, any team can be competitive come March.

I hope to have everyone (who was active) back next year! Please let me know if you have any suggestions regarding the league format, rules, etc. Thanks again everyone, have a great summer and six months left for your to prepare for the 2018-2019 draft!

Great season fellas. Hopefully we can get some more really active members next season and continue the tradition.

Losing Boogie Cousins killed me, but was a fun season. Straight Cash Homie!

Crazy how I couldn't believe WoW traded you Boogie for Ben. Thought it was very risky on his part, but like I said before, injuries are unpredictable. Still your team was very competitive to the end. I'm excited for next season and wonder if anyone would finally want to have a cash prize at the end or keep it for bragging rights. Also want to take a poll later on if everyone wants to continue Head 2 Head or make it Roto. We can vote on that stuff towards the end of summer.

Im in for $. Also think H2H is kinda fun and can keeps it more competitive for an entire season. 1 injury in root and cripple your squad.
