Fantasy bball? Anyone interested?

What 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.

I'm in, down, and up for it. English is such a strange language.

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…

Unless people object, I'm probably going to do the league on ESPN.

That's fine

I usually do Yahoo! but I heard ESPN is just as good.

by bandrewg08 on Oct 15, 2009 7:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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

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.

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.

So... what's the format?

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.

Just curious

Why do you prefer Roto over H2H?

by bandrewg08 on Oct 18, 2009 2:14 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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

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.
