Somewhat OT: RipCityTwo Fantasy Basketball League

Excited to get the beat down again?

 

psh.... you beat my "C" team. Doesn't even count.

 

I can't make the draft on Wednesday. If anyone else has a problem and a change is made, I am available anytime Thursday-Sunday.

Otherwise, I'll just auto-draft.

 

How is the scoring set up?

 

We will see if anyone else comes forward and wants to move it to a different night.

@Shaboid you are in the league. PM your email address so I can send you the invite. KingSpeed wants to sit this one out this year.

 

Just sent! Thanks for adding me, let the games begin!

 

Draft is tomorrow night 7 PM. That going to be a problem for anyone? It is for Maris but I think it would take hearing from 3 others to go to another night since we have 14 in the league this year. 4 out of 14 I would make a move to help people. If it is only a problem for 1 or 2 then we keep it the same. @Shaboid @Natebishop3 @Fonzthecpt1 @Nhawz @BigGameDamian @HAAK72 @BlazerAce @theprunetang @RipCityDSCPL @BonesJones and Whoever Mop N' Glo is.

 

Wednesday is perfect for me.

 

and forgot to tag @VanillaGorilla

 

Does that mean Head to Head in each category or overall?

 

I've already asked my boss if I could leave early tomorrow and he said yes. I hope the night doesn't get changed.

 

Head to head vs your opponent for that week in each category.

Overall would be called Rotisserie I believe. This is not that.

 

Oh. Why do you prefer each category verse rotisserie?

 

We might not still be on the same page. And it could be somewhat my fault with a shitty explanation.

For simplicity sake let's say that there are 3 categories. Total Rebounds, Points and Assists. If you end the week with 111 rebounds, 179 points and 87 assists and I end the week with 109 rebounds, 183 points and 82 assists then you beat me 2 to 1. You don't just win and I lose though. Your record shows you won 2 and lost 1 after that week. I wouldn't be 0 -1 I would be 1-2.

That make sense? And why do we do that way? Always have. Feel it is funner. Rotisserie you technically aren't playing an opponent each week. You are playing the whole group. Head to head is more like football so you can have trash talking by beating someone.

 

Yeah, I've always seem it as, if I win 5 categories and you win 3, I'd be 1-0 and you'd be 0-1. So it'd still be like I'm playing you.

So I was wondering what the preference was for having win-loss records decided by each category instead of each matchup.

 

tomorrow works for me

 

That maybe how it is done on some other platforms but I see no setting to even do that in Yahoo.

So one of the main reasons we do it that way is it has always been that way. Another reason is it actually allows you to catch up quicker if you fall behind.
If you lose the first two games your way then you are 0-2 and someone is 2-0
If you lose 5-4 to me and then to someone else two straight weeks then you would be 8-10 and I could be 10-8. So doesn't look any different right? But the 3rd game you could be 8-1 and you just went to first. In your scenario you would be 1-2 and would have no chance being in 1st.

 

Tomorrow's fine.
