I'm not the one who created it, and I haven't even been able to get into it thanks to a brand-new work filter installed today, but it's a league for the DL if people want to join.

[eagles_victory]

ok this league is still up so anyone who wants to join can

the draft for my league will be at 6:00 Sunday night if thats a bad time i can change it

[crzyjournalist03]

Could someone post the settings from each of the leagues? I tried checking them out last night when I got home, and noticed that there were different settings in every league from the public settings.

Also, are the drafts live or autopick? That could make a difference to some of us!

I updated it with all the settings. Here are the major rules/settings involving my league:

1.) Rotisserie League- For those of you wondering, it bases the standings on total stats instead of a head-to-head league where you "play" your stats against one other player for a week and see who comes out on top for that week. If you're the best in any one of eight categories, you get the most points; 12 in a 12-team league, 11 in an 11-team leauge, etc. If you're the worst in any given category, you get the minimum one point. At the end of the day, points accrued from all categories will be added up to determine where teams stand. Example below:
TEAM A
FG% 35% (Since this is the lowest total of the three teams, they get one point for this category)
FT% 80% (Since this is the highest total of the three teams, they get all three points in this category)
PTS 500 (Since this is inbetween the totals of the other two teams, they get two points in this category)
TOTAL 6 pts (2nd place)

TEAM B
FG% 40% (2 pts)
FT% 75% (1 pt)
PTS 450 (1 pt)
TOTAL 4 pts (3rd place)

TEAM C
FG% 45% (3 pts)
FT% 78% (2 pts)
PTS 550 (3 pts)
TOTAL 8 pts (1st place)

2.) It's a 12-team league, but we'll still get the ball rolling if we don't have enough when the regular season starts. If, by next Monday, we don't have enough teams, I'll go ahead and start the league (even if we only have six teams) so that our draft will be complete before Wednesday.

3.) Autopick draft. I could care less whether anyone wants a live draft, I don't feel like coordinating 12 people's schedules for fantasy sports. I refuse to wake up at 5 am for a basketball draft, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way.

4.) Positions are the same as standard Yahoo formats and listed below. The one change I'd like to make is to give each team two DL spots, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it yet. It's not listed under regular position settings, but if I figure it out I'll get it rolling.
PG
SG
G
SF
PF
F
C
C
Util
Util
3 Bench players

4.) IMPORTANT: Turnovers ARE NOT counted. Every other scoring category in standard Yahoo leagues remains. Remember, this should change your draft strategy and not penalize you as much for picking up a third PG (if you want one). All scoring categories listed below.
Field Goal Pct.
Free Throw Pct.
Three-pointers made
Total Points Scored
Total Rebounds
Total Assists
Total Steals
Total Blocks


Any questions, feel free to send me a PM.

Since there are 3 now, if any of them doesn't fill, yall might consider combining them into one. Any of the three of you are welcome to be the "official" 3A Downlow league.

If my league doesnt reach 8 i would be willing to combine with the other head to head league.

[big daddy russ]

Still only three players in my league. I'm inviting my cousin and one of his friends into the league. Feel free to invite friends, family, etc into it.

I'll give it through tomorrow and then I'll set the league to draft early Tuesday morning, no matter how many people we have.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in such a small league. If we don't get more than five managers, I'll go ahead and add two extra bench spots. You could have a team with Kobe, Nash, and Duncan all on the same squad. Should be fun.

Any league that hasn't started yet? I figured I would stake my claim as 3adownlow fantasy basketball champion along with my football one
