EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2004 It won't have turnovers. Turnovers are essentially a junk stat, because they are highly dependant simply on who carries the ball the most for the team. The league leaders in turnovers (usually high scoring guards) are very different from the most turnover prone players (mostly awkward centers). And I don't see any value in carrying fouls.

It depends on what Yahoo offers. I will try and consider more accurate measures of player performance when choosing stats, while maintaining balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Update on the draft order (unless I made a mistake). And you had the best record, quit your complaining. +++ HarleyQuinn~ Will Scarlet Lightning Flik Alfdogg Alkeiper Steviekick~ Marvinsalunatic Agent Bond 34~ *Karnok*~ *Cena's Writer*~ Smell the ratings~ The Court Jesters* Cuban Linx Dangerous A~ Mindless Aggression -> 2003-04 Champion the pinjockey razazteca Cartman Everyone with a TILDEBANG will be in particpate in our first two rounds (unless Dangerous A can re-find his picks that I blew up, my bad). Hm... +++ Correct me if I'm wrong. As soon as Yahoo pops them up, you'll have a draft date selected. Be warned, it will be before the season opens up. Like about 4 week early, knowing me. I still don't know who Court Jesters is... Although, I'm positive it's just this late at night and it's like right in my face... Oh well, someone will point it out. Also, do we wish to add Karnok and Cena's Writer to our league? I don't really see a reason why not too. Hence why they were included in there, but I will wait for league opinions before officially adding them. Hence I gave them stars to stand out. If I do add them, they'll be included in the first two rounds. Edited September 29, 2004 by Lightning Flik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) As well I figured that while I'm on break from class, I might as well mention these here, so everyone can kill me for them later: 1) For the four new people joining our league and the two teams that did not keeper, I'm officially declaring your "rounds" as one single round known as "Madness Round". In this round it is possible to end up with first and last pick, back to back picks, or some variation. Since this is also promoted as "Madness", each drafter will be picked out of the Magical Sorting Hat on the day of the draft. 2) Speaking of the draft... October 8th at 5pm MST (7pm EST) is the tentative draft date. So get prepared. Yeah, earlier, but hey. I never liked waiting these things out. Again, it's tentative so it might change. It'll also be done on AIM, because we all loved it offline last year. 3) To slow down on free agency pick ups, I'm going to smack everyone hard. How? Waivers will last for two whole weeks if I can manage it. So while you may still pick up a sleeper and you've got the 14th waiver choice, your chances of picking up the sleeper is slim to none. If I can't get it for two weeks, I'm quite sure I can get it to at least a week in Yahoo. 4) The playoffs will remain as the Elite 6 gain a playoff spot for a chance to become NBA Fantasy Champion. Just because we've moved up to 18, I do not at this time see the need to increase the playoff spots. That's about all I have to say on the current events. Somethings I'm thinking about already for next year's keeper league that I'll share with you: 1) I'm currently looking into having the bottom teams that do not make the consolidation playoffs be put into a ratio related draw to claim the top draft spot. Just because we've now moved up from 16 to 18. So just because you tank your team in the final stretch of the regular season to claim the best spot, will you necessarily get the draft spot. I'm currently thinking of having the bottom two spots get a 25% chance of getting the top draft spot, followed with the 3rd and 4th from the bottom at 15%, the 5th from the bottom with 7% chance, and the 6th spot from the bottom a 3% chance of claiming the draft spot. Although, the figures are just for show, I'll figure it out later on how the calculation will work out. 2) I'm looking into getting away from Yahoo after this coming season, as I would prefer head to head matchups that are won weekly. I don't have a specific site in mind for the move as of yet, but there is a prospect that might work. Again, I have to look into it first. That's about all that's on my mind. Feast and enjoy. yes fine put me in Al's league. wee. wasn't Jesters the legendary Johnson? That was... The S.H.I.T. Jesters was Marvin. Ok if Jesters was Marvin... Than who was Pogo The Monkey?

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Potential bad news VGM fans. I went over to nba.com and all references and links to the VGM game are gone. They now show only a pick 'em game, the rookies game, and a link to Yahoo fantasy basketball. I don't know for sure if VGM is gone, but I have a bad feeling. It's weird because VGM was a very popular game. I wonder why they could possibly do away with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
