    We all owe him thanks. He's an experienced sim league guy and he's volunteering to do the hardest part.

    I'm going to snag the Bulls for MikeDC. If he wants to decline, he'll say so.

    xohoops (formerly FFS) was a sim league built up by some guy over the past several years. It went year round with the season, yearly draft, free agency, trades of course, etc. etc. It used real time stats so every quarter of the NBA season (20 games or so) it would update them for all the players. Obviously several years of use/tinkering made it pretty good and it grew somewhat steadily into like two or three separate leagues of like 20+ teams. About a month ago the guy who ran and owned it got his dream job analyzing stats for an NBA team and didn't have time to run it any more so its been abandoned though there is a chance it could come back if some of the users can pick up a lot of the slack.

    Shapecity and JRay probably know more about the guy and talk to the guy more than I do.

    Can you post over there that we're looking to build a new Sim League over here?

    I'll join in just to whip Run....I'll take the Clippers.

    If we had someone that was good @ programming, I think we could revive XO and have an XO league for this. Not sure if we have anyone that knows much about computer stuff.

    The problem why he was shutting it down was because he didn't have the time to run it anymore. But we have guys that know how to do stats, and all the calculations involved, just don't have anyone to do the computer coding stuff, which I'm not sure how hard that really is. If you know anyone, I'm sure there are extremely willing ppl that are willing to donate to a fund to hire someone to a degree to help keep XO alive.

    I know me. If we can get this thing truly going, I'll write some software to make our league look really good.

    this is a great idea, if the framework is already in place, we would hit the ground running.
