I may - or may not - be in. I sucked last time :/

Is it the Yahoo one where you vs somebody each week and have to get the best in 8 categories?

I can do one. As I stated in the other site, the 8 categories method is very dumb.

I would be doing cumulative stats divided by how many games you played. So you add the stats up, they equal 150, guy played three games, he scored 50 for the week. Add all your averages up, that is your teams score.

Give bonuses for double doubles, triple doubles, etc.

10-4. I'll see which site has the best stat stuff. I think ESPN might be good stat tracking and scoring method wise.

Ok, I've created the league and I'll start banging out the details. I made it 12 teams. Scoring below, Head-to-head, weekly. You do not need to submit a new lineup each night and micromanage the hell out of it. Set your lineup Sunday, let the week play out. No substitutions during the week. It really sucks if your guy goes down 1 minute into game one but them is the breaks.

Pts: 1
Blk: 2
Steals: 2
Ast: 1
Reb: 1
TO: -1
FGM: 1
FGA: -1
FTM: 1
FTA: -1
DD: 5
TD: 10
QD: 15

Example:
KG plays 3 games: Has 60 total points one game, 40 total the next, and 50 the next. 150 points, divide by 3. That is his weekly score.

8 starters/5 bench players. I think that is enough depth but leave enough on waivers so people can salvage the season due to injuries.

You do need one of each specific position in the starting lineup then the 6,7,8th or flex (G/F/PF or C)

Point Guard (PG)
Shooting Guard (SG)
Small Forward (SF)
Power Forward (PF)
Center (C)
Guard (G)
Forward (F)
Power Forward/Center (PF/C)
Bench (BE) (5 players)

Ok nerds, league is created on ESPN.

So I'll need your email PM'd to me here. Create a dummy email account if you want. Create a dummy espn account too if you want too. Privacy from the freaks on this board.
