i think percentages are really important for balance in fantasy hoops and would like to suggest we use them!

i wish missed shots could be a negative value, it would really penalize low-efficiency volume shooting that gets the PPG up

altho there arent a lot of ppl other than westbrook who are getting rewarded here, its mostly a reflection of the best talent, though it does reward big men more than it prob should.
the average distribution of a player's Spottie points in this system goes like this (w some rounding):47% from PPG26% from RPG16% from APG11% from SPG7% from BPG-6% from TO/G
big men less likely to have high TO rates and more like to have big REB and BLK so thats why 6 of the top 11 players from 18-19 would be centers (davis 3rd, joel 5th, towns, jokic, drummond, vucevic 8th-11th)

sorry was away today. lol i hadnt set up the scoring settings yet. bison you are a genius and im sorry you wasted time but we're going with a standard weekly head to head 8 category league.
Ulysses youre the last one to sign up we need you. i sent the email let me know if you didnt get it.

Did we decide on a draft time?
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Sunday, 20 October 2019 12:16 (four years ago) link
is it possible to do 7 or 9 categories to avoid ties?
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link
Think I’m gonna keep the draft time as is. I’ll mull Over adding another category. I find 8 cat the best. Head to head winner doesn’t matter as much as head to head category record so a tie won’t really matter in the end
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 16:48 (four years ago) link
We got 8 it’s on
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 16:49 (four years ago) link
please just don’t change the settings again, I initially assumed it was 8 category then saw yesterday it was points and so I redid my rankings accordingly and so now I learn that was a total waste of time

Sorry evol I dunno how it changed I never set it as a points league so maybe that was the default and I never set it up right. 8 cat will be the way.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
no worries, just glad we're all on the same page now.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Sunday, 20 October 2019 18:10 (four years ago) link
About an hour til draft time y’all I hope you’re geared up and ready to draft the best team possible.

i am ready to make some bad decisions

so am I correct in surmising that we can adjust our lineups every day in this league? in other words you don't have to use the same lineup for an entire week? I couldn't find anything that would enable me to lock in a lineup for a whole week so I'm assuming this is the case, but maybe I just overlooked something.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Monday, 21 October 2019 14:00 (four years ago) link
correct. but if you want there is a 'start active players' button on the top left (or its the lightning button on the app) which lets you set the active players for the day or for the rest of the week. if you set it and then make a trade or waiver pickup then i think it resets it.

Set those lineups boys! lightning button is your best friend.

yeah that was pretty smart, forgot I needed to reset after picking someone up
― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Friday, 25 October 2019 06:10 (four years ago) link

half my top ten picks are out, (druss, lowry, vucevic, kyrie, bagley)
― jesus is zing (symsymsym), Friday, 22 November 2019 06:09 (four years ago) link
rough. yeah ive been dealing with carrying injured players as well. curry and my 4th pick john collins getting suspended was rough cos i cant IR slot him. just trying to survive a few more weeks til i get him back.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 22 November 2019 17:31 (four years ago) link
hey y'all let's do it
if we are establishing a precedent of multiyear participation, what are ppl's thoughts about keepers?
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
yah for the crew we had last time i auto-renewed the league with the 8 of us. We can add some more so if anyone else wants in let me know. Or if one of the OGs cant do it also let me know.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
I'm down...keepers might be tough if anybody ever quits, but would be fun. As long as I'm not keeping last season's team
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link
yah i like the idea of keepers but with a transient group it will be hard. think i'll just keep it as is for this league.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 18:51 (three years ago) link
Works for me. A zoom draft would be cool. I missed the draft night zoom but would love to put some faces (and real names) to all you fine ballers
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 22:34 (three years ago) link
yeah i don't see a renew my team type function but i'm in as well
― Clay, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 23:32 (three years ago) link
I think i just renewed and it says yall are in again but i'll look more into it soon
― Spottie, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 23:40 (three years ago) link
i think it's fine! just thought i remembered in previous years each player had to press a "yep, I'm back" button or whatever
― Clay, Tuesday, 1 December 2020 23:44 (three years ago) link
I think yahoo does automatic renewals now. Down for the zoom draft too.
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 00:06 (three years ago) link
zoom draft should be good. initial thought is sunday night Dec 20th. Usually the later the better for me but im on MST.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 00:16 (three years ago) link
we should prob nail down the draft date/time bc apparently the season starts in a week (?!?)
― Clay, Monday, 14 December 2020 03:11 (three years ago) link
Yah I’ll nail it down tomorrow during work
― Spottie, Monday, 14 December 2020 05:15 (three years ago) link
Sunday looks good for me! East coast here but 3 young kids so all bets are off with best times. schedule as you will
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 14 December 2020 16:06 (three years ago) link
i'd rather not do keepers but i'll play either way
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 14 December 2020 17:36 (three years ago) link
Yah man that was so close lol. Separated by two fgm, ONE point, three rebounds
