Hey guys,

With the NBA pre-season underway, and regular season starting the end of this month, it's time for me to get back into my annual fantasy league involvement. I was wondering if there was enough interest to do a TM3 league. I think it'd be fun!

So, here's a call-out to anyone that would be interested in joining a fantasy basketball league. If we can get enough interest, I'd be happy to setup and manage a league for us. Regardless of experience/skill, if interested, join up!

The specifics for the league are definitely open to suggestions, but based on past experience, I was thinking the following:
League would be done under Yahoo Fantasy Sports (No account? No worries! It's an easy process.)
Scoring Type: Rotisserie
Max Teams: 12
Min Teams: 6 (I've done as low as 6 before, and it wasn't as exciting as 8,10,12. The more the better!)
Draft: Live Standard Draft (To avoid missing out on week 1 of the league, we would have to have the draft before Tuesday October 30th. We can decide on specific day/time once interest has been generated.)
Roster Positions: PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN
Players Stat Categories: Field Goal Percentage, Free Throw Percentage, 3-point Shots Made, Points Scored, Total Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocked Shots, Turnovers

Hoping to get some feedback soon (would ideally like everything setup in a couple weeks). Next steps would be me creating our private league, you guys joining, and then deciding on a draft day/time.

It's entirely free, right? Are the Raptors still good? ._.

Well personally, the NBA is pretty much the only sport I consistently follow lol

I do imagine the lockout would kinda make it a tad difficult doing a fantasy league for hockey :P

As far as the fee goes; yes this is completely free!

And the Raps are showing a little more promise this season compared to last (or maybe it's just me having false hope for my home team again, as I find I'm the only one that's still supporting them!) so we'll see just how crap they turn out to be.

I'm already doing an NFL one with my work but you're right I am surprised we don't have a TM3 one going. Either way I'm looking forward to our NBA league now...


Anyone have any suggestions on an app for iPhone that Ill be able to update my rosters with?

Yahoo typically has their own app for each fantasy league type

Alright guys, here's a link to the league:
http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/register/tos?league_id=72562&password=ILoveMyMazda

Alternately, if link doesn't work for some reason, you can also search for the league yourselves:
League ID#: 72562
League Name: TM3 Fantasy Basketball
Password: ILoveMyMazda

Right now I've arbitrarily setup the draft for a live draft October 29th, at 9:00PM. I guess we can have a vote on here a bit later on if this suits everyone, and if not, when to do it.

Also, if anyone has any issues with the league settings as they stand right now (ie. waiver time, etc) please let me know and we can also vote on that issue as a group as well.

Can we change the scoring from Rotisserie to Head to Head ? H2H are more fun/competitive I find..

I find it can definitely be more fun, but sometimes gets bitter too lol. Rotisserie seems more fair as far as deserving wins go. But I do agree, H2H provides more of a competitive feel.
But I'm definitely down for either.
What'd you guys think?



For those that are unfamiliar, Wiki to the rescue..

"
Rotisserie
In rotisserie scoring, the real-life statistics accumulated by the players on a team are aggregated and ranked against the same statistics for the other teams in the league. Fantasy points are earned based on these rankings. For example, in a twelve-team league, the team with the highest number of rebounds over the course of the season to date would be awarded twelve fantasy points. The team with the next highest number of rebounds would be awarded eleven fantasy points, and so on, with the team with the fewest number of rebounds being awarded a single fantasy point. For negative categories like fouls or turnovers, the team with the fewest statistics are awarded the most fantasy points. This is done for all categories counted by the particular league. The team with the highest number of fantasy points at the end of the season is the winner.
Rotisserie scoring encourages balance on the team's roster. Winning the rebounds category by one rebound or by one thousand rebounds counts the same, while winning the steals category by one steal and the assists category by one assist is worth twice as many points as winning the single rebounding category by one thousand rebounds. Successful teams must fare well in several categories to win in rotisserie leagues.

Head-to-head
In head-to-head scoring, teams compete against a single other team over the course of a week. During that week, the real-life statistics of the players on each team are accumulated, and at the end of the week the team with the most points over the week wins.
There are two styles of head-to-head scoring:
Most categories is a win—whichever team has the more favorable statistics in the categories chosen (most points, fewest turnovers, highest free throw percentage, etc.) is awarded a point for that category. One can also weight each category, for example: winning scoring earns you three points, winning rebounds wins you two points, winning steals wins you one point. The team with the most points wins that game.
Each category is a win—whichever team has the more favorable statistics in a category (most points, fewest turnovers, highest free throw percentage, etc.) is awarded a "win" for that category. The other team is tagged with a "loss". The results of these weekly matchups are accumulated to provide a seasonal win-loss record.
Head-to-head leagues often employ a "playoff" system, with seeding based on the seasonal win-loss record. Matchups are determined via a bracket, with the winners of each matchup advancing and the losers being eliminated until a winner is determined.
In Head to Head leagues, schedules can be changed in the time up to the first game of that matchup.

Alright, some updates:

- So far, 7 out of 9 people have signed up; including me.
- Disabled the Can't Cut List
- Since nobody seemed to protest against Ami's suggestion, the scoring has been changed to Head-To-Head
- Playoff Weeks: Weeks 22,23,24 (6 teams)

- Up for discussion: add either/all of the following to the stat categories - FG Made, FT Made, 3PT Made. As it currently stands, as far as these categories go, the percentages are included in the stat categories. I was debating adding the "made" stat too. Preferences?

I would be ok with FG made, and 3PT made..not a big fan of FT made..

I would say just add 3pt made. As far as H2H, sounds good, but I remember having issues with an odd number of teams one year, where we almost were unable to start the league.

I'm hoping we can get an even number of people by the time draft day rolls around.



I'll let more people chime in on the potential added stat categories as well as draft day/time, and will change accordingly.

So, we've got all 9 guys signed up now. Hoping we'll get some more before draft day.

As for the stat categories, I've added FG Made, 3PT Made.

As for draft day..
Bohizzle, the latest time a live draft is possible on a weekend (ie Sunday the 28th which you suggested) is something like 4pm or 5pm. I'm guessing most of us will be busy during the day on the weekend, so I figured a weeknight would be the best time. (Does your basketball game finish that late? You might miss the first few picks but can likely catch the rest of it.)
trulankan, doing the draft past the 29th causes us to miss Week 1 of the fantasy league, which I was trying to avoid if possible. (Maybe you could use this as a break from studying? ;) )

Just a reminder for some of you that may be new to this:
You don't necessarily have to be present at the live draft (it's not like you won't be part of the league anymore or anything). It will automatically draft players for you according to Yahoo's algorithm, or if you prefer you can manually edit your picks so that it automatically drafts the players you select as part of your list, based on availability of course.
Just putting this out there since it might be hard to get a date/time when every one of us is free. Ideally would like to pick one where most if not all of us are free of course.

Sounds good. I'll only get home at like 11, but I'll just select my players before hand. I just find I always get an unbalanced team when I'm not there to pick, especially with so much specialization (ie. PG,SG,G).

I didn't realize the last time for weekend drafts was earlier, but because it is so early, I realize most people won't be able to make it for that time.

I'd say keep at the regular time/date and whoever's able to show up, shows up.

Well, unfortunately the Masiv Monday meet is clashing with our draft time. At least 3 of the 9 people listed here are probably going to be going (I know Ami and myself will be there; from past meets I'm guessing trulankan will too). Not sure how you guys want to go about this. If we can grab a 10th person soon, maybe we can pre-pone the draft to a weeknight this week? Depending on the others attending the meet as well, I don't mind missing out on the live draft if the current date suits everyone.

FD22
10-22-2012, 06:59 PM
Alright, well I see two choices here:

If we can grab a 10th soon, we can do it sometime this week (around 9pm?)

Otherwise, it looks like most of you are okay with still having it on the Monday but later. The latest draft time possible on that day is 10:45pm, close enough to the 11pm you guys were discussing. Let me know if this would suit you guys (we can also do 10:30pm, 10:15pm, etc)
If we chose this option, I probably won't be able to make the live draft. Likely going to have to get up around 5am for work that week, so 9:30pm or 9:45pm would probably be the latest draft time I could do. But since it seems like a later time suits more of you, I have no issues whatsoever with sitting the draft out. Don't wanna be a party-pooper lol.

Due to having to wake up at 5am the next day for work, I doubt I'll be there. Hopefully I'll have time tonight to edit my pre draft settings or else just hope yahoo doesn't screw me over since some of their automatic draft picks are absolutely garbage.

Also, to get a more personal/competitive feel to this league, I was wondering if you guys wanted to send me a PM with your yahoo fantasy team name. I will then compile a list of who's who, and will post on here (As opposed to 12 different posts of everyone posting individually). Since right now we don't really know what team in the league corresponds to which member on TM3. Just thought it'd be a good idea. So whoever wants to, shoot me a PM with your fantasy team name by tonight so I can compile a list.

Sucks about Granger. Was hoping to see him in action this year. Quite the underrated player in my opinion.

As far as our league goes I've been pretty fortunate in terms of injuries, but I've got K Love in one of my other leagues and starting to regret my decision to stick with him. Hopefully it pays off when he eventually comes back in a month or so. It's always tricky determining whether to drop or stick with an injured player.

I exempted him from my draft list, meaning it'd skip him and go to the next-best avail player in my ranking scheme. I think I did pretty well for an auto-draft, but then again a few of my players are injured. I'll be keeping Nene on my roster as a sort of filler, although he isn't putting any stats up right now, I'm hoping he's back soon and makes a big impact.

But you're right, Roy is definitely not producing as well as I thought he would. But I guess that's sort of expected from him at this stage. There's still some solid sleepers available in the free agents.

Similar situation with one of my other leagues. Hoping he'll be back soon.

I think I'm slacking here the past couple weeks purely due to not getting the expected output out of Wade. Really hoping he can get into the flow or things in the near future and go back to putting up big numbers like he was last season. Not quite giving me the numbers I expected right now, specially for a first pick in my draft.

Seeing the history, looks like ronphan had dropped Kaman. Looks like he dropped him right after that monster game he had; I believe it was something like 15+ PTS as well as 15+ REBS.

Alright fellas; it's that time of the year again!

I think last year was a good start; hoping we can get a good showing for this time as well.



So, here's a call-out to anyone that would be interested in joining a fantasy basketball league. I'll be setting up a private league, and will invite you all once we're closer to the date, and will manage the league accordingly. Regardless of experience/skill, if interested, join up! We had a couple newbies last year, and they managed just fine.

The specifics for the league are definitely open to suggestions, but based on past experience, I was thinking the following:
League would be done under Yahoo Fantasy Sports (No account? No worries! It's an easy process.)
Scoring Type: Rotisserie
Max Teams: 12
Min Teams: 6 (I've done as low as 6 before, and it wasn't as exciting as 8,10,12. The more the better!)
Draft: Live Standard Draft (We can decide on specific day/time once interest has been generated.)
Roster Positions: PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN
Players Stat Categories: Field Goal Percentage, Free Throw Percentage, 3-point Shots Made, Points Scored, Total Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocked Shots, Turnovers

(I recall the positions and stat categories being changed last year; just couldn't remember what you guys had preferred. So please feel free to voice your suggestions once again)

Hoping to get some feedback soon (would ideally like everything setup in a few weeks; figured I'd put this out there early to generate some more interest). Next steps would be me creating our private league, you guys joining, and then deciding on a draft day/time.

I can explain a bit. The league settings are set for scoring categories- i.e. - points, assits, rebounds, blocks, etc. Everyone participates in the draft, and drafts there team, with each player only being assignable to one team.
Once you draft your team in a Head To Head league, you are matched up against another player each week. Whoever wins the most categories for the week wins the week. i.e. - I have more points and assists than you, but you have more rebounds. I would win the matchup 2-1.
You need to set your line up each day, or once for the week. Deciding who to play which days.
You can also make roster changes, by dropping players in favour of those available in the free agent or waiver wire. You can also propose trades to other players.

It doesn't take too long to make an account at all. I'm hoping to have hit our 12 people (or as many as possible) within a couple weeks tops, so that I can set out a draft time after that, and we can get underway when the season starts.

to make it a little more competitive, how about, everyone in puts int a small amount of money (5, 10, 20?, etc). At the end of the year, Winner take all, or 1st place gets 'x' amount and 2nd gets 'y' amount. Just a suggestion? Maybe we could all send the money to the same account as we did for heart for hearth? At the end of the year, Ami could distribute the money accordingly to the winner(s) of the league. Of course everyone would have to be down to put some money. What does everyone think about that?

edit: It will also keep the league more serious. I've been in previous leagues where, one or more team has a bad start, so they just give up after the first 2-3 weeks.

I figured FT% would be good since it encompasses both made and attempted.


How does everyone else feel about the money?




People from last year:

So I just realized that the league I created last year was a keeper league. This means we can continue in that league, and there's options like "keeping" a couple players from your previous roster and building on that and drafting a few less. Hence the whole "keeper" thing. Would the guys from last year be strongly interested in doing this? We could continue that league with the people from last year, and have a new one for this year. I have no problem with multiple leagues, but it might get sort of confusing. Just thought I'd put that out there for those from last year that might be interested. Otherwise, just sign up again and we'll start a new league from scratch.

Upon more thought, I think we'll include FT made as well. Does that sound good? You're right, most of my leagues before had it as well, so let's add that one in there.

On that note, if anyone else has friends that would like to join, don't hesitate to add them to the list. In terms of the money though, I'm not sure but you might have to be 'responsible" for them (and have them pay you back or something). Maybe Ami can chime in on how the money will work, and if he wants to be in charge of it, etc.

Also maybe make sure they're "serious" (ie active) participants.

Are we all cool with the $20? Let's say first place gets 50% of the pool, second place gets 35%, third place gets 15%? (Just putting numbers out there, feel free to suggest your own denomination)

Assume we get 10 people, so pool is $20

Your idea

First = $100
Second = $70
Third = $30

First = $140
Second = $40
Third = $20

Bigger gap between 1st and 2nd/3rd place could provide for larger motivation to join/do well, but could also be too big a "risk" for people, in not being able to win back anything substantial for 2nd/3rd place.

Both approaches have their pros and cons.

Any other input on this?

Also, Ami, I'm guessing you would want to handle the payment part of this? Just to keep things official/document?




Let's try and hit our 12 people soon so I can setup the league and draft time. Will hopefully set the league up by the end of the week/weekend so we can start the registration process and determine a suitable draft time for everyone.

As opposed to playing "for free" in third, you end up with a little more of a "fight" to hit numbers because the motivation is there.

Good point.

Seems like most want a higher payback for 1st, so I guess we'll take that approach. Exact numbers might change if we hit 12, or just 10. Ideally would like to have an even number though; specially if we do head-to-head (otherwise every week we have a team with a "bye" week and they miss out on all the action)

Alright fellas,

I've created the league. Yahoo doesn't use passwords for private leagues anymore, so all you need to join is the league URL (http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/tm32013).

I've assigned the draft for October 27 at 9:00pm (figuring people will be free on a Sunday night, and it is right before the first week of the league starts). This is definitely open to change though, depending on how this time suits you guys.

I've incorporated everyone's suggestions, but again, if anyone has any strong opinions of the positions, categories, etc please voice your opinion.

Now, four things I need from you:
1. Join the league! (Go to the URL above. If you don't have a Yahoo account, you'll need to make one. It's easy, don't worry!)
2. Review the league details so you know what's going on (draft time, roster positions, player stat categories, etc)
3. Add your TM3 username and fantasy Team Name in the list below so we know who's who!
4. Await further instructions for payment options. Please note that $20 will be required from each player before the draft.
