<B>Also, there are no game limits like the Sandbox leagues used to have. So this means that you are going to have to switch your players in and out of your lineup quite often (daily) in order to receive the most points allowed from your roster on any given day. Basically, just make sure you have as many players as possible starting in your "Active 10". </B> Just so you know, this isn't true. From the rules: <I>Our league uses a Ranked, Points Based Scoring System with player's points averaged based on games played in each period. Our league's scoring periods are Weekly Mon to Sun. </I> So if my guy plays one game and your guy plays two, your guy's stats will be averaged and compared to the one game my guy played. No need to shuffle the lineup daily -- better bet is to keep your best players out there as much as possible.
<B>I think what he means is that you aren't limited to 82 games per position.</B> Maybe I misunderstood then. Bottom line is that you can't change your lineup daily (it locks in for a week) and trying to eek more games out of your players has no benefits in terms of the points you'll get.
This comes directly from the Q&A section of the league website: Q: How do I change my lineup deadline? A: There are only two possible lineup deadlines: either Mondays at 12:00 Noon ET for weekly leagues, or every day at 12:00 Noon ET for daily leagues. Go to the Front Office and click Rules, Permissions. If you want a Weekly league, place a check next to "Roster moves only take effect at the beginning of the next scoring period." If you want a Daily league, un-check that box. Whether a daily or weekly league, the deadline is always at 12:00 Noon ET. This cannot be changed. I chose a daily league so your rosters will have to be changed daily. I don't like the fact that one of my players would be set in stone for a one week period when an injury might not allow him to play in 1/2 of those games. The daily league is a foolproof method of setting your rosters without having to worry about an injury.
Shanna and Rocketman95, Both of your rosters are currently illegal and must be made legal before Tuesday at 12 EST.
Attention: There are going to be no IR roster spots. After researching the topic, it looks as if there is nothing regulating putting a healthy player on the IR and that is not fair as it allows owners to store more players on their roster. Makes the league less competitive.
OK, now I'm confused: <I>Our league uses a Ranked, Points Based Scoring System with player's points averaged based on games played in each period. Our league's scoring periods are Weekly Mon to Sun. Lineups are due daily at 12 noon EST. Lineups submitted after 12 noon EST will be effective for the next day's games. </I> OK, so we can change lineups daily -- that makes sense. However, our scoring periods are weekly, and the scoring system averages games played during the scoring period (one week). If I change my lineup mid-week, how does that work with the averages? Does it just take one big-ass average of all the games played by all my active players over the week and compare that to everyone else?
Truthfully, I don't understand what the hell they are talking about. Why have scoring periods when our league in not a head-to-head league? I will try to get further clarification on this, but if I can't we'll just have to wait for the season to start to try and get a grasp of how it is going to be scored. I am going to ask Bob.
OK, here's what I'm gathering -- dunno if its true or not. The game will take all the active players in my lineup combined with all the games they played. If they score a total of 300 points in 30 total games played (during the course of the week), then my Scoring Average is 10 Points Per Game. Then, you take all the teams' scoring averages -- whoever has the best gets 10 points, whoever is 2nd gets 9 points, etc. That would be where the "Ranked, Points Based Scoring" comes in. Follow this same procedure with Assists, Rebounds, etc. I'm not sure if Points, for example, would be worth more than Double-Doubles, etc. This is my guess based on the rules described and looking at the "Standings" link, but I could be totally wrong. We'll find out in a week or so.
Shanna, You are describing a rotisserie league and our league isn't going to work like that. I altered our scoring table and added 1 point for each 3 pointer made. I also changed the roster limits. You MUST have 10 active players and AT LEAST 2 reserve players or your lineup is going to be considered ILLEGAL. If you have an illegal lineup on any given day, you will not receive any points for that day's games. So, it is very important for you to make sure that you always have a legal lineup set. If for any reason your lineup is illegal, you will be warned on what to do to make it legal. So, you can't say you didn't know what to do or you weren't notified! The reason I changed the roster limits is simple. Since we are unsure how the actual scoring is going to tallied I wanted to make sure that everything is fair. Say for instance, our active players' average is used from the Mon-Sun period: Then you could just play your superstars and easily accumulate a higher average than a team playing a full 10 man squad. Get it? I have searched the site from corner to corner and still don't have a good understanding on how the points are going to be accumulated, but I wanted to be prepared if they are going to be accumulated through each team's accumulative average for that given Mon-Sun period. Now, we just wait and see how it all works out!
Well I can only play 9 active players on open night,I guess I just activate someone that doesent have a game to play and they will get no points! I really wanted to use the IR!!! Webber is out and I have 5 guys off I think,so I REALLY do hope its not averages and that we can change the lineup everyday,if so im cool
I don't understand what would be so hard about having an IR that can only be used for injured players. If you're stupid enough to put a healthy player on it, you lose him after a warning. That's what we do in our CBS football league.
The first big trade: Ostin Longhorns (shanna) trade: Danny Fortson Antonio Daniels Juwan Howard Kurt Thomas Houston Big Eyed Fishes (me) trade: Doug Christie Dale Davis Tom Gougliata Cliff Robinson Just an FYI. The main purpose of this trade was the fact that I was pissed that his automated thing took Daniels in the last round when I was all pumped about taking him. I think with him being the starter this year, he's going to have consistently good stats. Plus, I like having players on my team that I like to root for, and I don't like any of the players that I traded, and I like the ones I got. That being said, Vince Carter and Karl Malone are available.
scoring as far as the ir....why can't we just have one spot and then police it ourselves ? Were all friends here and I don't think anyone would try and cheat to win a free fantasy league.
You just revealed the information I had been looking for. As long as there is a warning to prevent someone from storing a healthy player on the IR, then I see no problem in establishing a few IR spots. Good point. I am going to create two IR spots. The Waivers Process is Now Activated!!!
