"where you odnt play head to head, like fantasy football. You simply accrew stats and are given point values whenever your rank changes. You arent playing against anyone, you are just trying to get the most of each category. For instance, if your team has a total of 300 assists and another player has 298 assists going into tonights play, lets say your team gets 10 assists that night and his gets 20. You would now have 310 and he would have 318. He would gain a point for passing you, and you would lose a point for being passed. If you both stopped on 310, he would gain .5 points for tying, and you would lose .5 points for being tied. The next day could be the complete opposite and you basically stay where you are unless your team goes on a great run. It goes on and on and on and on and on and on....finally ending with no playoffs. If you get an invite for this...politely decline, immediately. ^that explains it pretty well."

I hate Roto baseball as well and I am big fan of baseball. I played in a traditional roto fantasy league once and man what a boring league that was. I would only check the standings every couple of weeks after the first two months or so because nothing really changed. It really sucked.

I've gotten four responses, all signaling approval of a Wednesday draft. Adding in my vote of support for a Wednesday draft, that gives us 5. If I can get word from two more people, I'll put it to Wednesday 9:30 (one person said after 9, everyone else was okay if it was earlier).

10/24/2006 10:03:39 PM

I've got a head-to-head league setup on Yahoo. Need 6 more players. If interested, the league ID is 4810, password: basketball. Draft is Sunday at 6 PM

^^ GTFA, make your own thread

10/24/2006 11:53:26 PM

if i had, you would have told me to use the search function

10/25/2006 12:44:10 AM

No, I would have said "Oh shit, a n00b is trying to start a fantasy league, lol"

10/25/2006 12:49:54 AM

fucking autodraft

10/25/2006 7:22:06 PM

gg computar for picking me a good team for once

10/25/2006 7:36:43 PM

lucky you, computer completely ignored my prerank, picked fucking chris webber's vegetable ass

10/25/2006 7:40:52 PM

did anybody draft manually? i tried to and for some reason it wouldnt let me. The draft page would come up and I could see all the teams and my players and rankings, but it wouldnt connect to the server and let me draft live... so i got a computer drafted team too

10/25/2006 8:19:37 PM

you got an awesome team, I had trouble too for a while there

10/25/2006 8:25:53 PM

damn....it sounds like everyones team was autodrafted.

Ditch the entire thing, create a new one, and I'll enter.

it would be better this way.

10/25/2006 8:27:06 PM

yeah the top few picks went by my pre-draft rankings pretty closely

10/25/2006 8:29:48 PM

^^ you know, I'd actually consider that, but.... no.

10/26/2006 1:23:58 AM

I'm not sure I understand this. Why aren't you guys posting your teams? Like, who you got on your team? Am I missing something?

10/26/2006 1:27:10 AM

if anyone starts a league, let me know...i didn't get in this one

Thanks to my job holding me 15 minutes over, my ride home took way longer. There's no way in hell I draft this many one-position players on my own, and I sure as hell wouldn't have taken 3 point guards with my first 4 picks.

10/26/2006 10:59:21 AM

^i would like to be in on a league as well

10/26/2006 11:05:57 AM

i will post my squad later...but as for my other league (roto as well), i was offered kobe and caron butler for andrei kirilenko and billups...should i accept

10/26/2006 11:35:01 AM

10/26/2006 12:07:44 PM

I didn't find out about the draft until last night. I'm pretty happy with the autodraft picks I guess. I need to read the league rules. I played a Roto baseball league this past summer and lost interest after the first two weeks. This isn't the same is it?

[Edited on October 26, 2006 at 10:36 PM. Reason : _]

10/26/2006 10:28:54 PM

I'm not in the league, but I do have a team and since it has fantasy basketball in the name, I'll post my lineup here. Rate it for me plz.


PG B. Davis
SG P. Pierce
G L. Barbosa
SF C. Villanueva
PF D. Nowitzki
F W. Szczerbiak
C E. Okafor
C S. O'Neal
Util J. Howard
Util S. Francis
Bench K. Brown
Bench B. Wells
Bench Ju. Jones

Bonzi would start once he gets his personal problems fixed. Didn't mean to draft Jumaine Jones...ran out of time on a pick. I know Kwame is hurt, but I don't need him right now.

10/26/2006 10:54:02 PM

naw, this isn't roto, you match up with another team and see who can post the better stats for the week. pretty fun this way if you keep up with your team, actually.

10/26/2006 11:02:30 PM

I played a head to head baseball leauge and lost interest after a month or so. But that was mostly because of me being in next to last place the whole time and not really caring about baseball.

10/26/2006 11:07:47 PM

I mean, if you check on your team every week, and you're just getting the short end of the stick, then that's one thing


but if the next time you log into the account is after the all-star break, then...

And you should put make the F and G slots available.

10/27/2006 3:00:46 PM

No one else wants to join and bow down before my dominance?

Pussies.

10/27/2006 7:09:17 PM

I would join, but I cant draft during work hours...

also...who in the fuck took my name..."The Guru"

I have copyrights on that shit!!!

10/27/2006 7:32:54 PM

That would be me.

To be the man, you havta beat the man.

Whoo!

10/28/2006 1:38:33 AM

I had 11 points after the opening night, and now I have only 8 after night two? Can someone post the formula used for calculating total points? Apparently its not something that makes sense.

11/2/2006 9:44:33 AM

^ There are a lot of categories, such as points, fg%, blocks, etc.

You take all your starters and put their stats together, and compare them to your opponent. You get one point for every category you lead. But if your opponent takes the lead in a category the point goes to him.

At the end of the week the final point total is set.

[Edited on November 2, 2006 at 9:50 AM. Reason : You really don't have any points right now, the numbers it gives you is just kind of a projection]
