Limitation of the amount of transactions is the biggest killer for inactivity in my opinion.

The draft date is set at this point though, you have to schedule it in advance and they won't let you change it. It will actually open up a few waiver wire opportunities so that should be good too.


Oh Really? Strange.. all the leagues I've commissioned in the past on Yahoo allowed you to change the draft date anytime prior to the scheduled date.

You can change draft time. Check under commish tools, there's a whole draft management section.

Dang, I 'm going to still be in the hospital that day. I think it's going to take me hours to set up my auto rankings. Are we still talking about moving this?

i never gambled in my life or bought a lottery ticket, but being familiar with yahoo fantasy games for years, this really intrigues me


It's for people in the U.S., and even then only certain states.

If it was in Canada, I would play too

Their percentage take is insane though. 70/240 for the low end and 300/1200 for the high end? And that's for the exact same game as far as I can tell, just if you put in more money they keep a **** ton more too. And you have to play their default settings so the options are actually worse than the default free yahoo. If all they did was ask for the money up front and bank it at whatever awful interest rate they can get, they should still be able to make piles of extra cash based on how enormous they've made their service.

There is 1 spot left in the Raptors Realgm league if you're interested.

The league voting came out as a Head-to-Head format.

Man is this league interesting. It's a 20 man league but it's still very active. Kudos to everyone and best of luck this season!
Want: Trae Young, Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton, Jaren Jackson Jr, Marvin Bagley III, Mohamad Bamba, Shai Gilgeous- Alexander, Elie Okobo, Jevon Carter

You're team's actually pretty talented. You just gotta make a few minor tweaks.

I've liked the team I have so far and I'm doing well until this week. So far so good.
