This explains it. There are even several different ways to do H2H. I prefer H2H each category. Scroll over the question mark for more detail.

I've never done a ROTO league but to be honest it sounds a bit boring. I love the drama of a good H2H!

Problem is, H2H doesn't scale very well with the basketball schedule where each team could have from 2 to 5 games. You could have Durant-team with KD having 2 matches that week going against a Lebron-team with LBJ having 4-5 matches.

Yeah, H2H is ideal for NFL for this reason

That said, it's fun to mix it up some - I would normally participate in an NBA H2H but I have a lot going on so I don't want to overcommit!

I appreciate the support and campaigning for me to be in the Dleague. But if I have to play in he Chinese league, that's cool. I will be just like Stephon Marbury and become a legend. And there will be a play about my life, the lead role played by me. And I will have a statue made in my honor. It will be glorious.
Looking forward to the 28-29 season.

Ive got a mate that is able to play a potential H2H league with us. So that brings our count to four. I'll try to post a list within the next 12 hours, hangover allowing. Naturally, if we fill out the desired 12 player minimum, it would simply be the first 12 players able to sign on

But not H2H, we do ROTTO. (correct me if i'm wrong)

OH crap, missed that part of the question - yes, it's roto


Oh damn, not the biggest fan of roto just feel like its a lot harder to come back from injuries/trades etc in roto. But I'll give it a shot

Are we talking H2H instead of or in addition to the ROTO league?

In addition to the roto league, of course. The Premier league is always the Premier league and that's the one we all want to win. But this would be a side league for those who wish to play a H2H league with other forum members, who will no doubt still be very competitive.

Or you could just not post anything about it at all if you don't want to join. Im doing this because I want to play a h2h league, which I haven't done in about three/four seasons. I have only ever done one team per year, so for the past few seasons its only been the realgm Suns league and roto.

Right now we've got four players, so we're 8 off our minimum target.

:lol: don't take offense Sunskerr. It's not a go at you or anyone else really, I just refuse to play H2H in Bball or......well any other league other than NFL really. Too many variables when talking schedule. If you play H2H smartly you just rotate your bottom 3 players with the waiver wire so you have maximum games played. IMO there is not a lot of skill involved in H2H for this reason.

Yup.

H2H sucks. I'd rather try out an Auction League again. That was pretty damn interesting.

I'm not here to debate H2H vs Roto. Both formats have their flaws but I enjoy them anyway. This happened last year too when another poster tried to get something going and it just kills momentum. If you don't want to join, you don't have to.

You do realise forums are for discussion right? And you're always gonna get nuffa's such as myself stating their disgust for something, even more so than their love for something. Also, I'm not herd to debate them either.....as ummmm, there is no debate to be had. ;)

I would like to also discuss the fact that there is no way TASTIC takes Westbrook over CP3, and he's bluffing. Lets debate this

Yeah, he's just trying to get me to give up a little. But then again, I haven't confirmed anything about taking Westbrook either.
