2007-08 Fantasy Basketball Leagues

Post by Tom Kessenich » Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:41 am

Regarding in-season eligibility here is how it will be handled per Sportsline:

This year we implemented a new eligibility standard for basketball. We are using the baseball formula. If a player plays 5 games at a new position then he will get eligibility. However he has to start or enter the game at that position. The updates for a player are listed on the player profile page under situational stats.

The MDC invites for all Saturday drafts have been sent out.

Just a reminder, if any of the participants want a free upgrade to MDC premium, drop me an e-mail at: geoff @ mockdraftcentral . com and I'll hook you up.

We just rolled out our newest feature, projections, which I think ya'll will love. All of our mock drafts now give a projected order of finish after every pick is made. It's a really cool tool that will be available for all sports going forward.

There will only be league prizes awarded. We will name an overall champion but he or she will get the honor of having that title only. We won't be awarding any prizes for the overall champ.

And yea, this is slowly growing. We're happy with getting to 60 this year and we'll see how things go from here.

Just a quick note to the many who have e-mailed me for premium access: I have created mock drafts for 9:00 pm Eastern tonight and tomorrow night.

Like the drafts you'll be participating in on Thursday/Saturday, these mocks offer the 3RR draft order.

The links are:

On the CBS Sportsline website I looked up position eligibility and saw that each player has a primary position and a secondary position. Is each player eligible to be started at either position or the primary position only? Please advise...thanks.

Whatever eligibility is listed by Sportsline will be what we use. If there are specific examples please let me know but Sportsline's eligibility will be final for our event this year.
