PrintWhat up everybody. Just wanted to throw a post out to see if people are down for a fantasy basketball league here from 3QC. I wasn't sure if Ben or Eddy were going to have one but if not, I would be happy to set up a league for the 3QC community.
I'm in a 24 team fantasy football league in boltsfromtheblue and I'm doing terrible but its the funnest league I'm in. Its from fleaflicker and it works pretty well.

I promise I'll have something setup by this weekend.
I know a few 3QC’ers want to do a league and I’d be happy to set something up, just need to see who’s in.

OK, cool
Sounds good E. I just wasn’t sure if you guys were still going to do it because I know there was that GM/Agent league a few months back.
Do you know from what site?

To be honest, I completely forgot.
I think the problem was that it was too in-depth for everyone.

I put up a post about this a while ago but it got FanPosted off the main page lol
But yeah, I know a bunch of us said we were down and Eddy said he would set one up sometime…
I'm in, but only if I get to have Dwight, Lebron, and Chris Paul on my team

In
It's not a dunk unless your hand makes contact with the rim. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, "Superman..."
Unless people object, I'm probably going to do the league on ESPN.

I like ESPN better, nothing against Yahoo! but just a preference type of thing.

IN
Keep pumpin, ain't worried bout nuttin
Busters thought we was frontin, so reload and keep dumpin
Keep Sleeping on Orlando...
I'm in.
If there’s room.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Im in if theres space
Need something to bide my time next semester, since UCF was nice enough to send me a letter saying I need 1 more class before I graduate.
Shaq sucks.
So... what's the format?
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
It'll be H2H, five categories.
Points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks. I’m going to make it simple for everybody.

Ugh... H2H
I mean, don’t get me wrong — I’m still in. But I can’t say I care for that particular format. Oh, well, might as well make the best of it.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
H2H is a game of luck.
You can have the second-highest total in the whole league for the week, and get a loss. You can have the second-lowest, and get a win. Your entire score is dependent on who you’re matched up with as much as what your players do.
Moreover, splitting the season by weeks is unnatural and arbitrary. The team whose players have 4-5 games in the week gets the advantage, for no really defensible reason.
Ultimately, it makes way more sense to me to play everyone against everyone, and tally up the totals over the whole year. The team which has drafted or acquired the best players wins. No gimmicks, no statistical flukes, nothing.

Awww do 8 categories

That doesn't make sense, because it invites the possibility of a tie.

I will play if spots are still open
I stay active in fantasy leagues
Put me down for a team, guys.
My shot-in-the-dark NCAA fantasy team was quite a failure since I don’t actually follow college hoops, so I’m looking to avenge that in a league I actually know about.

I got next?
I’m totally in if you’ve got spots left. I’ve been looking for a good league…

Heads up, I'm going to create two leagues tonight.
It appears there’s enough interest to justify the decision.

What are the links?
I want in…are they both on ESPN? If there is one Yahoo, I’d rather be in that one since it will help my profile.
Spreading that Calgary Flames, Montreal Expos, The U, and Orlando Magic love.
Very justifiable
Thanks E.
