Juxtatarot 11,572 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Then this is just head-to-head weekly with scoring as follows? Points Scored (PTS)1 Total Rebounds (REB)1.2 Assists (AST)1.5 Blocked Shots (BLK)3 Steals (ST)3 Turnovers (TO)-1 So, no percentages or individual categories matter, right?

caustic 4,120 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Also, I set up a spreadsheet here so everyone can see the entire draft in a consolidated list. I'll try to update it often, but everyone has editing privileges, so you all can enter picks if I get behind. You'll also notice I created an individual sheet for each owner's team, that's for you to keep track of what positions you've filled during the draft. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We could then discuss any changes later. This didn't seem to get settled before league #1 dissolved - I'd say most people favored a $50 buy-in, but a few did not. I'm open for suggestions, but I think an optional $50/team pool would be good solution - among participants, winnings would be allocated based on total points. Something like 1st place: 42% 2nd place: 22% 3rd place: 12% Weekly high score (24 weeks): 1% The league playoffs would be for bragging rights and making fun of each other in the main thread. So those who want to play with some stakes have something to play for, and those who are in it for the glory can do that too.

If it’s that much I’m honestly out I had money aside for two of my FF leagues and was interested in this basketball league since it was free. I don’t really have the necceasey money others here do to go in on many fantasy leagues. I could maybe be persuaded to $20 max for the league but that’s it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
