View Full Version : OFFICIAL KingsFans league
Since everyone got this fantasy party started without me, I must remind you all that there is only one certified OFFICIAL fantasy league for Kingsfans, and it is this one. All other fantasy titles are moot compared to this one. Remember that. Now, on to the good stuff, this isn't first come, first serve, we've been doing this for years and people who have played before will a spot if they want it. This is to avoid the league being filled with new players while old vets who have played for 4 years get stuck out in the cold because they haven't checked the fantasy section in awhile *ahem*. Hopefully all the old regulars can once again feed my ego by gracefully losing to me once again this year. Enough talking, onto the rules... (always open for discussion)

I'm out; I've already committed to four leagues this year, so unless Yahoo upped their maximum leagues allowed, I won't be participating this season.
The league is usually dead, anyway; I'm looking for one that's much more active. I mean, this was the only one of the three private leagues I was in last year where every single person in the league had at least one common bond, and it was third out of the three in terms of activity. I'm looking to join leagues that not only have active managers, but that also get a lot of activity on the message board.

its not my fault, VF21 thinks it is, but she (Rmr) just provokes me w/ her comments.
she said that the league was full even thoug it wasnt full, she insisted that i wasnt alowed in it. Damn its just too much.
last year she even told vf, not 1s but couple of times, to kick me out.

I'm sure VF21 is intelligent enough to ban you for the right reasons, if at all. If you have been banned 5 times previously I'm sure that speaks more volume about your character then anything else Rockmeister (allegedly) has ever said about you. Rockmeister telling you that the league was full was a correct statement. All the spots are reserved for veteran players. Nice jab at my handle, by the way.
As a side note, if I was commish and there were 50 spots available, I'd still tell you the league was full.
I'll go back to writing music :rolleyes: , you go back to your Jr High homework. ;)

That would be slightly more subtle. Anyhow, as far as the fantasy league goes, 14 teams wouldnt be too bad, but extending it farther then that is going to be really tedious. Especially if we only do updates once per week again.

Por qua?
Actually in deep leagues the weekly format works better because in a daily I-have-no-life league every single player you pick is going to play on a regular basis and it puts a lot of stress on the players at the end of the deep drafts. In a weekly, those deep picks are true bench players, there to fill in for injuries or provide a boost in a particular category dependin on your opponent.

Brick,
Choosing who to start between Jamal Sampson and Paul Shirley isn't fun. And thats what we are going to be reduced to if we up it to 20 teams, as someone else suggested. When your roster has 7 8-12 guys on it, weekly updates aren't fun. Also, you dont need to be a "I-have-no-life" to be succesful in the daily update setting. You can set each day's lineups once a week and the system will remember who you selected to start or bench that day.

You can set each day's lineups once a week and the system will remember who you selected to start or bench that day.I think you're missing the point. Jamal Sampson or Paul Shirley do NOT start even in a 20 team league unless you have 15 starting positions. And in a weekly league, they rarely even play unless something goes amiss. They are gambles to take on your bench.
There are 360 roster spots int he NBA this year. Even in a 20 team league, if there are 12 starting spots that's only 240 players, or roughly the Top 2/3 of the league, or put another way, every team's Top 8 players. What it does is bring Darius Songaila into play, not the 12th men. Then add in 2-3 bench guys who are true bench guys in a weekly -- in a daily they still regularly play, ina weekly they do not.
And there is no comaprison about the level of micromanaging between a daily or a weekly. In a daily you first have to make many times the moves every week as your daily lineup changes...well, daily. You can make them ahead of time once a week if you like, but you still have to make many times the moves. And you absolutely have to sit on every nightly boxscore in a daily as well, since an injury to any player at any time costs you games vs. a more alert opponent. There is no rest. Its a pain in the ***.

It likely is more competitive. It is also work, rather than play at a certain point. The competition is at least as much about who's got more spare time to waste rather than who's got the acumen. Particularly in deep leagues, keeping track of the health and PT of every player in the NBA all season long on a daily basis is neither practical nor fun.
It can work in small/shallow leagues. But then again my mom can draft a decent team if she doesn't have to know anybody but the starters around the league.

Everything has to do with boobs Brick... you should know better.
And I'm keeping it at weekly, our league's have shown daily leagues seperate into two groups, those who have the time to check every day, and those who don't. Weekly is more stratigic, more knowledge, more lazy.

thats a good point. i've never been in a leauge with more then 10 teams, so i guess i dont have much experience to argue on. i usually just set my lineup for the whole week, then pop in and out to check news, and see if anybody got injured or so... if its set up weekly, it gets boring because you basically just have to set your starters, see the score, and do it all over again.

Luck is a much more important factor in weekly leagues than your so-called "strategy." The only strategy comes into play when you look to see which players are playing the most games that week, or who's on a hot streak, and plug them in. Once your roster is set for the week, it's all luck: you hope that the player hits for his averages. You hope that the player doesn't get injured, or suspended. If you had Stojakovic, for example, in your lineup last year during X-mas week, and you lost him for a game because of his suspension, and those 25 points and 4 three-pointers ended up costing you the week, that's bad luck; there's no strategy involved. And don't say it never happens... there's no way to anticipate that Stojakovic is going to bump a referee and get himself suspended. It's just not something he usually does.
At least in a daily league, you have the freedom to react, if you choose. I don't think it's cool to have to be penalized for something either that happens to the player or that the player does that you couldn't possibly predict. I mean, if you prefer weekly leagues over daily leagues for whatever reason (and really, disparity between some managers having more free time than others is the most legitimate one I've yet to hear), that's great, but don't try to pass it off as there being more "skill" or "strategy" involved, because there really, really isn't.
As I previously alluded to, I personally much prefer daily leagues, not because I have more free time (especially not this season, since I'm going to be underway for most of the season, and I work eighteen-hour days at sea), but because there are too many things that can happen outside of the manager's control, and I like having the freedom to choose to react to it.

Daily v. Weekly is definitely JSin's choice, but for what it's worth, I also prefer playing daily. There's nothing that frustrates me more than having one of my players get hurt or suspended, and then be forced to wait until the next week to take him out of my lineups...
Not my choice, I vote weekly, but if enough people want to change, I'm game. I'm just the commish, not the dictator.

A lot of folks don't like changing their players every day, but it is possible to set your lineups a week ahead of time. I always change my fantasy lineups on Sunday evenings, and that way I don't have to mess with the lineups unless I read about somebody getting hurt...
Either way works for me though...
Draft is this Saturday at 5pm. Set your reminder thingees.
