Cats Fantasy Basketball 

Post#1 » by HornetJail » Fri Sep 27, 2013 6:11 am

Fantasy basketball anybody? There's about a month till the season, and I hate only being a part of 1 or 2 leagues. I think it would be cool to have a Bobcats board fantasy league. We've probably got enough people, who's interested?

Even though 2 leagues is already enough for me, I'd love to be in one with you guys so I guess I'm interested.

I'm more of a lurker (especially during this time of year), so if you want more regulars that's cool. But I'm definitely interested.

I'll join if we make it intere$ting. In some way or another. haha.


People tend to care more and log in and change lineups if there is something on the line. I think we've experienced that here and I'm partly to blame also.

i am in for making this interesting, but not money. its just too hard to coordinate and enforce money bets on the internet. some kind of bragging rights for the winner and public shame for the loser sounds good. sig for winner and loser avatar for last place?

If there will be plenty of people who want to join, I'll drop out since three leagues might be too much for me.

Anyone who feels like they want to be the league's commissioner can go ahead and create a league for us. I've got no time at the moment, and am no fantasy expert, so I don't know which settings/scoring criteria are best for a league.
