RebKell's Junkie Boards

[MattinDE]

I would like to have an NCAA women's basketball fantasy league for the 2009-2010 season. Here are the rules:

- 16 woman roster with 11 woman starting lineup (3G, 3F, 2C, & 3Util)
- live draft Monday, 11/9 @ 8PMCST (9PM EST)
- this is tentative, please let me know if another day would be better
- stats count only for starting lineup players (bench player stats don't count)
- owners must post their daily lineup in this thread - bench players' stats don't count for your team so this is REALLY important
- scoring determined by pts, reb, ast, steals, blk, 3pt%, FG%, FT%, PFs, &
TOs
- official scoring website is ESPN.com
- player eligibility is Division I only (no DivII, DivIII, or intramural players)
- open free agency - first to the punch wins
- transaction limits:
- two transactions in a 24-hour period
- three total transactions in a 48-hour period
- trade deadline: January 29th
- updates at least once a week
- If eight or more people join (in even numbers), this will be a head-to-head league
- odd number owners or less than eight owners will make this
rotisserie (reference http://www.chafee.net/wnba for this format)
- live draft will have snake format (the last team to draft in the first round will draft first in the second round and so forth)
- players can be drafted only once by only one team (two different teams cannot have the same player)
- commish to draft dead last (unless anyone has any objections given the snake format)

I couldn't find a stats site that differentiated between SF & PF and SG & PG. Oh, well. That's OK. Also, I made the rosters big for two reasons:

- to encourage owners to draft players from mid-major conferences
- to allow owners to draft their favorite players (if they're still available) and still have a good team (there is SO MUCH TALENT out there).

hustlefan will be the official scorekeeper. He took stats last year and did a tremendous job keeping up with all the players through all their games through the season. His efforts are greatly appreciated.

When you're looking at ESPN.com (Yahoo! Sports is good for stats, too) to scout players, please keep one VERY IMPORTANT thing in mind. The stats have not been updated as to what year players are.

If you are interested in joining, please leave a note here. If the draft time does not work for you, DON'T BE SHY. This league is for everyone's enjoyment and I'm willing to work with any owner who wants to play.

Comments and questions are encouraged. Questions will be answered promptly. I hope you join in. This could be a LOT of fun!

I'd like to play

[Huskie]

Left Coast Crusaders are in for another year!

[Hoops9092]

I'm in!

[Queenie]

As long as the main action's here instead of off on the Chicago board or somewhere else somewhat off the beaten path, I think I can give it another shot. (No offense to Chicago Sky Talk; it's just not somewhere I remembered to check, and so things slipped from my mind.)

Some Questions/Clarifications:
Want to make sure the lineup that counts is always 11 of the 16 players on our roster?
If we have 6 players who are out with injuries, (this is hopefully remote possibility) can we name an injury replacement?
And we can change the 11 that count daily?
If we don't change it, I presume it stays the same as the previous day?
And the lineup must include the number of players you mention at each position? Are we going by the position their teams' sites list them as? Some list wings - are they G or F? Also some use 'post' for both their center and forwards. The 3 util players can be any positions?
Exactly how are we incorporating 3pt%, FG%, FT% into the totals?
And one more: I'm assuming preseason games don't count?

This sounds like crazy fun. I hope more will join.

It is crazy fun and I, too, hope more will join in! (Just don't draft any players I want...lol! )

ok minor technical glitch. As far as I can tell, the team rosters are not yet up on ESPN. They are on Yahoo so can we go from that? I've found several players whose position designation is different on the team's site from that on Yahoo....so have no idea which one ESPN will choose. And it does make a difference.

Count me out. I'm not a big chat person.

Okay, I'll give it a go. I've also never done this before.

[MattinDE]

[fancy_daniel]

My god this is hard. I'm finalizing my choices and boy, after the first 30, you can get stumped.

[newkid]

I don't have time to do it in the detail that I would want to. Oh well, it'll still be fun.
