Thanks to Darth's ....enthusiasm ... we're going to open up the call for Novice Fantasy League participants.

We will be doing the same format (Yahoo head to head) as last year except with a live draft.


The purpose of novice league is to introduce people to fantasy basketball, develop comeraderie, and get folks more interested in the players they follow. If you really want to show off your GM skills, you may want to consider the Advanced league.
Preference will be given to people with higher post counts in Pistons threads.

If you are interested, post to this thread by saying "I won't quit if my team sucks.". I will add the tentative participants to this post. We will discuss the details of the rules and draft as we go along.

I won't quit even if Slippy's team sucks and Linwoods is in the intensive care unit.

I'm in commissioner Slippy, unless they want to put me in the other league.

I won't quit if my team sucks. Though I reserve the right to move them to Oklahoma City.

The Sprockets are ready to leave small indentations on the opposition as they roll over them.

If I knock around on Yahoo, will I find rules and procedures documents so I can figure out how it all works?

Yes, they do explain how the whole thing works (drafts, waiver waiting periods, etc.) but I poked around and couldn't find it. I don't know if you have to wait until the league is up but they will have all of the general rules posted as well as any specific settings the commissioner chooses for your particular league.

But if you have questions along the way people are always willing to help and you won't need to wait long for your answers.

I was looking too and couldn't find anything through the Yahoo pages, but then just did a search and come up with this link. Looks like the right stuff...

Is this conference call never going to end?

I won't quit because I won't suck. I'm not a hardcore fantasy player, I just draft well.

I won't quit because I won't suck.

I played in the Advanced league last year finshed 7th out of 12 teams. Maybe I need to step back in the novice league and learn a few more moves or just play both to keep me busy.

I was wondering... since we are doing a live draft, is there a lotta for the first three picks? Since I finished 2nd to last last year, I think I should be in.

I promise NOT to take Darko if I get the 2nd pick in the draft.

i wanna play in one of the two leagues. last year was my first season of fantasy, but i think i could manage the advanced. i'll take either one though

I need to learn how to proof read. I meant Lottery. Like, do the lowest 3 from last year get the first three picks? How is that going to work?

Can I trade 2 second round picks for a 1st round pick?
