I don't think Yahoo such a league to play but yes, finding a way to skip the drop/add/drop/add is a bit more challenging

I believe it can be done with an ESPN league

Thursday, Fridays if possible

10 starters- PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, UTIL, UTIL, UTIL
3 Bench
MAX 40 games player per week - I.e. you don't accumulate points after 40 players have played for the week

Scoring would look like:
Points (PTS) 1
Blocks (BLK) 1
Steals (STL) 1
Assists (AST) 1
Rebounds (REB) 1
Technical Fouls (TF) -0.25
Field Goals Missed (FGMI) -0.25
Free Throws Missed (FTMI) -0.25
Turnovers -0.25
Double Doubles (DD) 2
Triple Doubles (TD) 5
Quadruple Doubles (QD) 10

ESPN leagues pale to Yahoo.

Just my opinion but Yahoo is the standard for the free leagues I think.

Right now anyway.

was thinking the same thing when i got the news

It's $20 buy in - Plan to make this a Keeper League - Money is handled through Leaguesafe
You have to have played fantasy basketball before and this is a long term commitment.

Here is the settings page http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.co...

Please let me know your UK handle if you apply for this league that way I will know you are from here.
Draft date will be set when I have 12 teams that have paid their dues in full. This league is geared to favor defense and efficiency over the standard format.

Hope to see you there.

EDIT - 12 teams not 2.

A couple of questions. How many guys are you allowed to protect year to year? Also, I am not sure what the $300 auction means. Can you explain it?

2 keepers a year - more means there's little chance for bad teams to get better.

The draft is done in the auction format - You have a starting budget of $300, and you bid on each player you want. The highest bidder gets the player - it takes the "luck" out of the draft - all teams get to bid on all players if they so choose. You have to come prepared with a good understanding of relative value of players and how much you are willing to pay for those you want. Do some free auction mock drafts on yahoo/ESPN to get some practice. It's super fun and competitive once you get the hang of it.

Let me know if you have further questions - happy to answer whatever I can
