    Before I explain, <font color="#ff0000">please don't join if you aren't going to be active and don't have any experience with Yahoo! Sports fantasy basketball</font>. I want this to be a deep, competitive league with experienced managers.</p>

    </p>

    <font size="4">Basic League Settings (I'm open to suggested changes)</font> </p><ul>[*]Draft Type: Live Draft (when all managers are set, a date will be worked out)[*]Max Teams: 16[*]Scoring Type: Head-to-Head[*]Max Moves/Trades: No maximum[*]Trade Review: Commissioner[*]Trade Reject Time: 2 days (I won't reject a trade unless it's obvious that somebody is cheating)[*]Trade Deadline Date: No trade deadline[*]Waiver Settings: No waivers[*]Can't Cut List: Yahoo!

    If you want to join this league, tell me in this thread, and if you promise to be active with it all year long, I will PM you the League ID# and password. </p>

    You start three centers every day?</p>

    I figured there are 3 guards and 3 forwards, why not 3 centers? It's only one more than the default number of 2.</p>

    CelticKing, I'll send the registration information to you in a sec.</p>

    Three centers is awful. Who wants to start Diop? Usually, most leagues just have one or two centers.

    There are a LOT more guards and forwards in the NBA than centers. If your league has 20 teams and each team needs a minimum of four centers, thats 80 centers.</p>

    People will have to start Jackie Butler and Paul Davis.</p>

    That's why there are only 12 teams tops, which means 36 centers... but that does seem too high. I'll change it to 2, and make the bench 4 instead of 3. </p>

    Clangus, I sent you the info.</p>

    Alright, I sent a PM to all of you. That means I have 4 (including myself) officially signed up, 3 others who agreed to join but haven't, and then you 3. That's 10 teams. I want at least 12, but 14 would be nice too.</p>

    Anybody else?</p>

    Are you sure you're good for consistent activity? I feel like a jerk saying this, but from the looks of your post count and join date, it doesn't look like you're a very active member at all. If you want to join, please assure me that you will be active with it, have your roster set daily, and not back out at some point.</p>

    FWIW, some people are posters, some are readers. Judging by his view count, he's a reader and he's been reading a LOT since we've joined forces.</p>

    Yeah I'll be active. It does look a little suspicious when you look at my number of posts and join date, but I've always been active. I didn't post very often the first year I was at JBB, I was mostly a reader like Denny said, but you don't have to worry about me backing out or anything.</p>

    Okay, I signed up on Yahoo, I'm the Washington Bullets. I won't be able to make the current draft date, I have an obligation on Sunday's at that time.

    EDIT: I've talked to 5 people in the league, and they all can do a Monday night draft. </p>

    What nights are best for everybody for the draft? Can you guys do a Monday?</p>

    Also, I just upped the maximum team limit to 16 as opposed to 14. I think I have my 16 guys, too.</p>
