League FAQ:
This is a deep category head to head league. We run 14-cat H2H each category. FGM, FG%, FTM, FT%, 3PTM, 3PT%, PTS, OREB, DREB, REB, AST, ST, BLK, TO. Each category is good for one win a week. This setup slightly favors larger line-ups so plan accordingly.
Each team has 13 slots. PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN.
Lineups are set daily. If you don't have time to check your team every single day then set your lineups for each day at the start of every week. Very few of our owners ever have players riding the bench and missing a start. Repeated failure to set your lineups will result in loss of ownership. We don't want teams getting free wins.
5 Maximum waiver wire acquisitions per week with a 1 day waiver wait time. Streaming is encouraged but we don't want entire teams being streamed everyday so there is a 5 move per week cap. Grab the hot player for a few extra FGM at the end of the week, but don't be surprised when the asshole destroys your FG% and turns the ball over 6 times. (see: Jordan Crawford, Metta World Peace)
We don't do veto's here. Occasionally a trade may be denied for BASKETBALL REASONS, but for the most part if two parties agree to a deal it's going to be put through. There is no governing board, nobody to police this shit. The aftermath may cause a stir in the thread, some bitching perhaps, and team ownership may be revoked if you're a moron and purposefully try to ruin the competitive balance of the league. It hasn't happened yet, and we've had our share of morons...but it could happen...maybe. Moral of the story, don't trade with PSYCH.
Yahoo/ESPN's draft boards are based off of 5x5 standard roto leagues. Our league setup is extremely different which means our draft board is as well. Here are the final player rankings from last year based on our league set-up. So based on that guys like Russell Westbrook are probably not a very smart 1st round selections, but at the end of the day build your team however you want.
We shitpost a lot in the thread throughout the season. Join us. Respond to PMs/visitor messages, actively trade and shop players, and don't settle for a loss or give up because you've lost a few weeks in a row. We're not going to win the league anyway: PHX is.
