    That will update each day at like 2:30 am after the day's games have been played. For example, if your opponent wins 5 categories, the score will be 5-4 - it's just the score. As long as you click on My Team and Available Players frequently, everything will be allright. I reccommend paying for stat tracker too, then you know what's goin on as the games are being played instead of having to wait till the next day to see if you're winning.

    2 of the members still haven't shown up, so there are two spots left if anyone with a good knowledge of the NBA and is competitive wants to join.

    Glad to have you.

    Ok, I wrote down everyone's name on a piece of paper (including the 12th person who hasn't yet joined) and drew them out of a hat. I didn't draw out the order of the picks, but the draft pick preference. So if your name was picked first, you have a choice of #1-#12. You might think it's obvious to take the next highest pick, but I for one believe #12 is better than #5 because you can get 2 "really good" guys instead of one "great" guy and a "good" guy. So here's the way the name were drawn out:
    Mr Mooch
    Redfusion
    fba34s poopers
    Yao Mings Rockets
    Kammers Jammers
    Peleincubus
    VooDoo Popes
    Rockets #1
    Chemistry
    12th Man
    Crisco-Zombies
    The Xiksters

    Once again, I drafted my preference, so I'll let you decide what you want from the remaining picks. Or if yall want, that can be the order, orrr if you don't trust me - and I have no reason to cheat (seeing as I was one of the last names drawn out, I think you can believe me) - we can also just not set an order and let the computer do it randomly come draft night. I'll be gettin in touch with each of you after the team before you makes their choice.

    I have to work during the draft.

    Why can't we just start drafting now as an offline draft?

    If we are selecting draft picks now (or are we waiting until next Sunday?), I'll take my man, T-MAC with the first pick of the 2003 ClutchCity.Net Fantasy Basketball Draft.

    actually we're still doing the draft sunday. what you are picking now is the draft order you want.

    do you want the number one overall pick? Or would you want to slide down to 5? Or all the way to 12?

    Then the next person will pick what pick in the draft order they want, etc.

    I am setting up for the autopicks because I will be in Cleveland then travelling. If the computer works ok I'm ok. (That system, BTW, is slow and cumbersome...is there a trick to doing it quicker?)

    Pick #7?

    Trust me, don't set the auto-picks. Chances are good you'll set it to a guy that is worse than the available guys left. I've seen from experience what happened to another team in a previous league. He ended up having the worst league by far. You should set maybe your first and second round picks, but leave the rest to the computer. You'll be suprised how good it turns out.

    I gotta ask why you wanna pick 4th when you can pick second Red, are you sure that's what you wanna do?

    By the way, if anyone wants to contact me over AIM, my screen name is Leelike.

    I usually do Smallworld Fantasy Bball. I have never done Yahoo. I was thinking about getting into it. Could someone tell me how it works?
