The one game missed out on will be more easily compensated for than running the draft without any warning when some players thought they had longer to prepare. This was a rough year and there was alot more trouble getting people than usual. So we're scrambling for time, unfortunately. And this seems like the most fair compromise.

And for the record, league scoring of stats will start on the 29th as well.

So, should we start an EnWorld Fantasy Basketball 2009-2010 league, or let the concept go on hiatus this year?

I'm out for this year. I was less into it than usual last season and I've got other things going on right now.

Well, pre-season started. So, we have to drum up some players soon if we are going to do it again this year.

Despite a gracious invite, I must decline. B-ball just isn't my sport- I don't watch it until about a month before the playoffs.

Did you post anything at CM yet? I don't recall seeing a notice there.

We could give it a go. If it goes on hiatus, I'm not sure it would come back, which would be a shame. I could create a league, or someone else with a full account who can message people could.

I agree. I say let's give it a shot. I'll go ahead and post something at CM in the next couple of days if Mistwell doesn't.

Ironically I'm seeing a Rotowire banner at the top of the page right now touting basketball.

Been fun in the past, but increased responsibility at work last year made it so I really didn't participate (which is no good for anyone) - and this year looks even busier (including other real life concerns). Rather than play even less than half-assed, I'll give it a miss this season, but hopefully next season I'll be a little better able to be in.

I could invite some folks from various basketball message boards I go to, to fill out the league, if we like.

And yes, feel free to post at CM.

Ok, I'll post on CM, but I think we'll have more luck recruiting if we can provide a link to the league. We already have 3: you, me and Black Omega. I can go ahead and set up a league on Yahoo unless one of you wants to do it.

Go ahead, Loki. Work's been severely cutting into my time.

I know it's late, and I got distracted by other stuff, but if you're still interested PM me and I'll send you the invite for the league. I set a league up in Yahoo based on last year's settings.

With only one respondent, and games starting tonight, it looks like the league will be on hiatus this year. Too bad, but that's the way the ball bounces.

Hopefully there will be more interest next year.
