Not set up yet. I set it up last year so unless someone else desires the vast power I'll set it up again this year. While we're chatting I wanted to run something past people anyway. In past years we've always included turnovers as part of the stats tracked. What would people feel about removing turnovers? It's not really a catagory anyone wants to win since a lack of turnovers means a lack of playing time for your guys, which is usually a bad thing for your team. Typically the teams winning this are the teams at the bottom. So it's kind of an anti-stat. Just tossing that out.

Edit: I just checked Yahoo and it doesn't look like Fantasy Basketball is open yet, so we have a little bit to wait yet. It'll probably open around training camp time.

I'd be happy if you took on the duties of setting things up (when it is ready) Black Omega. Thank you.

I'm also fine with eliminating TOs as a category. Of course, I usually do horrible in that category (and well in points), so I may be biased.

We need to drum up more players. However, it is a tad early (but not that early, since I believe we are close to the same date this thread was started last year).

Thanks for taking on the league set-up responsibilities Black Omega.

I hear what you're saying about TOs but I'm kind of in favor of leaving them in as a scoring category. They do have an effect. I never would've traded Jamal Crawford last year if he wasn't killing me in TOs. It's just something that needs to be taken into account and it makes the game more interesting. Even though the dead teams at the bottom of the league will always win this category, there's still competition among the teams at the top. There is the same sort of negative effect on % categories when you have a guy who's decent in other categories but kills you with FT or FG %. You have to decide whether or not the good outweighs the bad depending on your needs.

Of course, I'm fine with whatever everyone else wants to do.

Leave the TOs.

I need more categories to lose.

Since there's no real consensus from the answers i'll just leave things as they are. TO's will stay in. I'll post when I can create the game.
