is there going to be a basketball league?

hi Greg,

I would certainly enter so add me to the list. I'll also give it a plug on 82games.com if you get the go ahead.

It would be nice to see a high end hoops contest out there!

Guys, let's see whether Greg gets the green light--if not we have someone who'll run it-and will put just about all of the entry fees back into the prizes--and we can set the limit. I would be in, and we have at least three others--under the point per stat format. I am not here to take away from anything Greg is doing--but want to have a fallback. Can we start a signup list, say for a game at $600--for those who would do this, if the other game falls through. Thanks. JMK.

i can't commit to the 600. (right now)

i'd be interested in the fallback league if it's under 600.

I think roto is the way to go guys. just my .02.

Yahoo does offer FG%.

I'd run a yahoo league and pay out 100% if you guys wanted, if the official league falls through.

we can see what the masses want--not wedded to any amount--the point per stat is easier for the common man--you don't need an abacus--just my .02

C'mon man, I was running leagues like that when I was 15. :rolleyes:

Where's Moneymaker at? I want revenge!!! [/QUOTE]A Tribe Called Evil -- damn you and Moneymaker BOTH for that final night! Live scoring as of 11:30 EST that night had a three-way tie, then Kobe and Wilcox stopped scoring and missed a bunch of shots dropping me to 3rd Place.

I'd be up for some revenge myself.

The NBA says by tomorrow we should be good to go. I'll e-mail the other owners from last year's two leagues tomorrow and see how many leagues we can form. We're off to a pretty good start.

I have no idea what my expenses are going to be on all this (licensing, STATS), but I'll do this at break even if I have to just to get the national contest off the ground. But right now it looks good.
