I've done a B-Ball league the past few years with college friends but no one seems to want to do one this year. I've also never done a league for money, but I might be interested in a pay league.

i'm down. i think i rejoined a league that slade started last year, but I'll be in another one, pay or not.
i'd also encourage you guys to think about doing it on espn. i don't think a lot of you have played fantasy on espn, but i love the setup there. And i hated cbs's once a week thing. it didn't really make sense to me, and i'd always have big players get hurt and couldn't change it, so i started keeping track after the first month or so.

I did an IDP Football league on ESPN two years ago and to say I loathed it would be an understatement. I'd be down for a free league on Yahoo.

well, there's a lot that can change in two years. i did my first league last year and another one this year, and i love it. i think it's way better looking and easy to use.

09/25/08, 12:13 PM
I'd like to be in this year, but not the pay league. I'm not the greatest at fantasy basketball, so it'd probably be a waste of money to join a pay league.
Scott Weber
09/25/08, 12:47 PM
I'd love to organize an AP league or two - we could do one free, and one pay. As you all know, I hate h2h categories (especially in basketball), so I'd want to do total points (with the same scoring we had in CBS last year, just with yearly position limits), or roto (meh).
Ideally we'd get some interest for a pay league but people don't seem to care enough about the NBA. I'd even do just $5 or $10 just to make it interesting.

if only we could find a league with daily roster updates. but you had to set weekly rosters for the average scoring to work.

09/25/08, 07:43 PM
whats the difference between points league and roto?
xbrokendownx
09/25/08, 07:47 PM
points league is total points amassed basically. like a point for a point scored, a rebound, an assist, etc
roto (12 team league) is if you have the most points you get 12, 2nd most points you get 11, etc for each category. most total points out of that wins

head to head points is ok, we'd have to do it on CBS again. Yahoo doesn't offer h2h in anything other than categories.

09/29/08, 07:18 PM
is there a CBS points head to head one where you dont have to set the lineups for the week?

09/29/08, 07:20 PM
no. cbs is extremely restrictive. there is no customization at all.

09/29/08, 07:23 PM
i don't see what was so bad about setting lineups once a week. i thought the way that league worked was pretty rad.

i am just really turned off to the divisions thing after baseball. i barely made the playoffs despite being better than all the other division's teams.

09/29/08, 08:20 PM

Scott Weber
09/29/08, 08:22 PM
Explain to me how that works. I don't think I've ever played with position limits.
You can't have more than 82 starts at any one position, so you can't stream players like crazy and build up counting stats.
xbrokendownx
09/29/08, 08:22 PM
Explain to me how that works. I don't think I've ever played with position limits.
like theres PG, SG, G, etc slots. each one of those slots, you only get 82 total games played per slot. once it hits 82, you just stop getting points for it
Oh fuck yeah. We can do auction league or regular draft style with ESPN. What do you guys prefer?
id rather do regular for a pay league
Scott Weber
09/29/08, 08:23 PM
i just hate the weekly rosters because say your dude gets hurt monday, he misses like 3-4 more games for the week
but it didn't matter with CBS. If he played one game and another dude played 4, their scores would still be the same, it averaged their scores for the week, remember? But I disliked it for injuries as well - just that you didn't know if that dude would sneak his one game in on saturday and then be a no-show and FUCK your team that week.

if you want in the pay league (we're using ESPN head to head points, weekly matchups, daily roster set)
PM me your email address and I can send you an invitation, since that's how espn does it.

for the free league, i just left the position limits set to 82..that alright with everyone?
I think you should set it more than that. Otherwise we will all be maxed out by Early March, or we only draft a team full of starters and no bench players.
xbrokendownx
09/30/08, 07:29 PM
alright well the max it can go to is 100 i think
Scott Weber

I think you should set it more than that. Otherwise we will all be maxed out by Early March, or we only draft a team full of starters and no bench players.
why set it to more than that? it's default like that. then it doesn't reward players who just rotate their rosters like crazy but rewards people for smart decisions and benching/starting accordingly. most i'd want it to go would be 90.
StandMyBrothers
09/30/08, 09:36 PM
I wasn't going to say 100, but just simply 82 is dumb. otherwise its either only play your starters or if you play your other guys on days where your starters don't have game your limits go down the drain.

Basically you're given an amount of money to compile your team (normally 200). A person will nominate a player to bid upon, and the league members will bid upon that player. The person who has the highest bid for the player after 30 seconds gets the player.
I suggest checking out one of ESPN's mock auction drafts for fun and to get used to the setup.

The problem with ESPN leagues is that everyone shows tons of interest, and you have to get email addresses to fill the league with invites, and then I ask for email addys and NOBODY responds. just got kinda sick of it. we'll make the pay league a free auction if you want to respond with an email address if you're not already in that league.
