ENWorld Fantasy Basketball IS HERE!!! (league now filled)

[Old Fezziwig]

I don't know about Yahoo's Livedraft, but my sense is that it pretty much requires everyone to be logged in simultaneously. Coordinating 12 peoples' schedules to do that is darn near impossible, thus I think a messageboard draft is a nice way to it.

Actually, their livedraft will autodraft for absentee league members based on their pre-rankings or your own. It's hard to pick a time everyone can be there, but that's what the pre-rankings are for.

I really think being stuck in the off-topic forum is killig us. More people would sign up if they knew about it, but this new format prevents people from even knowing about it.

Perhaps there's a way to sneak in an ad/recruitment thread over in the general section without breaking any rules.

[begin brainstorm mode]

Perhaps a thread about a basketball roleplaying game......

I did put it into the "main" thread originally, for that very reason, but it was (quickly) moved here.

Golden opportunity?

 

[LeapingShark]

BTW the settings only allow these 6 options for the trade deadline--
None; February 17; February 24; March 3; March 10; March 17

 

[johnsemlak]

Can I sign up?

 

[The Sigil]

I saw that in the settings; they're a bit more restrictive than last year.

Anyhoo, since there was a lot of support for putting our trade deadline after the NBA trade deadline, I moved it to March 3rd (first available date after the NBA deadline of Feb 24th)

Anyway, the league has been setup (yay!) and you're all invited to sign up. I will be sending PMs with league password and other relevant info where I can over the next few minutes; if you haven't received one in the next half-hour, e-mail me at the_sigil - at - hotmail.com (please include your ENWorld username) and I'll send you the info. Once everyone who has already expressed an interest has had time to sign up - like, say, Monday, I'll throw the info onto this thread for anyone else who wants to join... first-come, first-served.

Oh, and if it comes up as an option, please remember to select the option that allows the commissioner to change your lineups... I promise I won't use it unless you're AWOL for an extended period of time and your lineup has holes in it... and a general announcement will be made the day prior so all owners - including you - will know it's coming. I know YOU won't go AWOL, but please humor me. You never know when a hurricane might knock out your power for weeks.

LeapingShark and fujaiwei - I need to get you guys the sign-in info - you can't get PMs and I don't have e-mail addresses, so please e-mail me at the_sigil - at - hotmail.com ASAP to get your info.

johnsemlak, Krug, Mistwell, and Kajamba Lion... the info should be in you PM boxes.
