You draft a team of players across all the teams of the NBA. You go head to head against another team. Your players earn points for positive things such as assists or points. If your team gets more points than the team you are up against, you win that week.
We are head-to-head league.
In head-to-head leagues, a team matches up versus a different team each week. The team who receives the most points of the two receives a win for that particular week. Points are dictated by the scoring system that is either standard set by the website or custom set by the commissioner. A team’s total is the sum of all players points in the starting lineup. The win-loss record is the most important statistic in head-to-head leagues, as it directly correlates with the league champion. Teams with the best win-loss record advance to the playoffs. If two teams have the same record, the tie-breaker is then decided by total points scored by each team throughout the season.*

There will be a LIVE Draft for players on Saturday, November 10, 2012 @ 12PM PST.
This will be done through Yahoo! Sports. You will have to sign up with a Yahoo! Account (or sign in with Facebook/Google on Yahoo!)
There is 20 team limit.
There will be cash prizes!
Notes:
Use your FusionCash UserName within your Team Name OR Slogan (ie. Kohler's Champions or if my team name was just "Champions" I would set my team slogan to Kohler)
Auto-pick will be used if you do not attend.
All draft orders are randomly done by Yahoo! at the time of the draft.
There will be no do-overs for draft.
I will be registered in all leagues because of how Yahoo! configures Fantasy Basketball.
I will play in all the leagues to maintain fairness.
Our official LIVE Drafts is scheduled for: Saturday, November 10, 2012 @ 12PM PST.

How is the draft going to work and how long would I need to plan for the draft to take? Is there more informatio on the scoring and how the league will work?

May be why I didn't do Fantasy Football, I did not follow the instructions. May have to setup a Yahoo account and add my username with my team slogan.

Im registered for the FC fantasy basketball league.
Thanks for making this league Kohler!
Just wanted to point out - the league is set to 12 team maximum (not 20) but seeing as there are only 6 teams so far this doesnt seem to be an issue and I think you can edit it to allow more as commissioner. - Also there must be an even ammount of teams for the league to draft and begin.. hopefully this doesnt become an issue but something to keep an eye on.
Also, I noticed when signing up that the league start date says the league will begin in Week 2 (Nov 5th). Seeing as how our draft is Nov 10th, that would mean our first week would be only 2 days (the 10th and 11th). Could you maybe change the start date if it lets you to Week 3 (Nov 12th) so that we have a full week to play? This would be fair to all since some teams might have an unfair advantage of having more players playing on those 2 days.
For those not familar with Yahoo Fantasy Basketball, there are NINE (9) scoring categories each week and you recieve a win or loss for EACH of these 9 categories, so each week you recieve a total of 9 wins/losses.
The categories are (as they appear in the league):
FG % (feild goal, or shooting %)
FT% (free throw %)
3PTM (3 point shots made)
PTS (points scored)
REB (rebounds)
AST (assists)
ST (steals)
BLK (blocked shots)
TO (turnovers, the only category you want to be lower in)
So, for example, after the first week of games your record could be 9-0 or 0-9 or 6-3, ect. There are ties and they are more common then football. So the win-loss section is set up like 0-0-0.. wins-loses-ties.
The head to head games take place Monday - Sunday (a full week) and there are NBA games EVERYDAY, so the best thing to do is set your lineup for the week ahead of time.. as in every monday set your lineup for not only monday, but also tuesday, wendsday, thursday, ect. That way you do not have to get on everyday.
Goodluck to all!

I would rather do the draft on the weekend as more people have time to get on. I wonder if it will count the first week at all since we are basically skipping it. I will look into this.

Yes I agree the weekend is probably the best time for the most people. I meant is there a way, as commissioner, that you could change the league settings to begin scoring in Week 3.. that way we would draft on the 10th, but our matchups would begin on the 12th, allowing a full week of games vs a partial week (which would count as if it were a full week)
*EDIT* I just realized that in another fantasy basketball league that I joined before knowing FC would be having one, we drafted after the begining of "Week 1" and it did NOT start scoring untill today, the begining of "Week 2". It did not start in the middle of the week and have a partial week so the point is moot. Sorry for unnecessarily bringing this up. Thanks again for creating this promo!

I'm in, signed up.

Count me in. ;D

Thank you for the fantasy league. I am all signed up, marys stars. They will kick butt lol.
Are you also the marys stars in fantasy football? Because if thats you, you havent been active at all in fantasy football... you have a Wide Reciever thats injured and out for the year in your starting lineup lol.. Not to mention you have a different Wide Reciever whos one of the BEST in the league on your bench every week. You should really get on every once in awhile and put players from your bench in / add players from the free agent/wavier pool, if you want to win games that is ;)
-
Hey Kohler , just a question out of curiosity, any particular reason you made the Fantasy Football league without fantasy playoffs, but you made the Fantasy Basketball league with fantasy playoffs?
Just wondering since you took opposite stances on fantasy playoffs in the two sports.
-
Kohler.....usually if you are starting in season, they dont count the first week or 2....they will just start from the day after the draft.

I'm not going to complain. They can leave injuries and byes in all they want....just gives me a better chance since my team is so crappy.....lol

Kohler, in your description in the first post you mentioned there is a 20 team limit to the league. I noticed under the 'Scoring and Settings' section of the league page that the league currently has a 'Max teams' of 12. Currently there are 12 teams signed up in the league. So, I'm guessing if more people want to sign up, they won't be able to? Is there a way to increase the max teams now that the league was already set? The more the merrier! :)
-
i'll give it a shot if you want more teams
-
Well dang....something has come up and I will not be home for the draft. Hopefully, I get autodrafted a good team. Oh well it's not like I could do much better. I know fantasy football, but have no clue about the fantasy basketball world.
-
I missed the draft as well. :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: But at least this time I new there was one, lol! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
I signed up for the league.....looks like the original league was cancelled and then recreated??? that stinks....i couldnt get into the new on because it was full....oh well I should check the forum more often i guess.

Ok, so I am completely confused as to how the Fantasy Basketball is played. It's obviously completely different than the football. Can someone please tell me how this works? I don't see when the scoring happens, who's actually playing at the time, what the player adds are......just so confused. Do all the player's games get counted for the week? :sad1:
-
Sure - I'm in. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to devote to it but after having tried Fantasy Football this year I've really enjoyed it. I didn't know much about football before fantasy and now I understand most of the Jargon and have really looked forward to watching games. At least with basketball I already know the jist of the game.

ST (steals)
BLK (blocked shots)
TO (turnovers, the only category you want to be lower in)
These stats are accumulative of all your players in your starting lineup for each day they played (players that are on your bench do not count, however you can rotate players off and on your bench for different days of the week within that one matchup and the games they were in your starting lineup will count)
Generaly each person on your team should play around 3 or 4 games (give or take) during any given week and as long as they are in your starting lineup for those games, each game counts.
You get a MAX of 4 adds off the free agency/wavier wire during EACH week. This is to pick up players if you feel you need extra scoring for a category and dont have alot of players in a game for a particular day. (or of course to try to snag a good player like on fantasy football)
I recomend setting your lineup weekly rather then daily, as its alot more work then fantasy football. By that I mean for example log in on monday (the first day of the weeks matchup) and set your lineup, then click tuesday and set it again, then click wendsday, ect ect.
To try to see when the scoring happens, click the day of the week it is on the matchup page (for example today you would click Sunday) and it will show you the current live scoring for all of your players so far. (before you click on the specific day, it will just show matchup totals so far for the entire week)
Hope that helps some.. I probably did not explain as good as it could have been.. it is more confusing then fantasy football.

Darn, I just saw this. I guess I am too late to join??
