Greg, looks good.

How many teams (owners) per league? 12 teams per league. We pay the top three spots.

Well then...lets get it on. Greg, any place we can look at the rules from last year...thanks. Anyone who wants the rules can e-mail me at [email protected]. I'll send out the Rules to you in a Word document. Again, I'm just waiting for NBA's approval before making this official. The delayed start will limit the number of signups we can take in, but maybe they'll blast out an e-mail to their customers for us and get some new interest. Either way, we'll give out league prizes and crown an overall champion. Stay tuned.

Count me in. Can you give us an idea of the time, day, etc?

Thanks,

Yeah, let's do this!

I enjoyed playing last year even tho I wasn't pleased with my 2nd place league finish. I'm cool using the same rules but would like to see one minor addition: ranking our preferred draft position. We didn't get to do that last year and I got the spot I loathe the most.

A Tribe Called Evil KDS could be done easily, especially if we use STATS as the stat service this year as planned. I'll get it going. Look for the signup list soon.

I need to see what my licensing and back-end support costs are going to be first before I know if I can offer satellite leagues. This has been a long process that I need to finalize today or tomorrow so that we can promote this and get it going. I'll post something very soon.

Wonder Boy/Ball Dude I hope to start a signup thread today or tomorrow and get everyone's thoughts on this. My thought is to hold the draft online on Saturday, Oct. 28th in the early afternoon. 16 rounds shouldn't take much more than 2 1/2 hours. $600 per team. Pay top three finishers in each league and have some type of overall prize for the first place finisher. I could see us getting 2-4 leagues by ourselves and if NBA.com promoted this for us we could really get some interest. I just have to wait and see what the terms are from the NBA before announcing prize money, etc.

But those are the general terms and the rules can be obtained from me by e-mailing [email protected]. Thanks everyone.
