VF Kings Fans Official Fantasy Basketball League 2023-2024 Season

#1
This is year TWENTY (23) of the VF KingsFans "Official" Fantasy Basketball League, a weekly scoring league that has been run since before KingsFans was KingsFans, renamed in memory of our legendary and dearly departed moderator VF21.

I'm the current commissioner, and I look forward to another successful season with your participation. Traditionally, the league has 16 slots and all of those slots are still open both to returning managers and newbies. Last year, we had 8 managers, so assuming that all 8 will return, we have 8 more slots available.

If you'd like to join the league we'd be more than happy to have you! Just post here in the thread or send me an email at marshallgeoff at gmail dot com. You can also send me a PM, but you might have better luck sending me an email. Please note the following:
  • League membership is limited to current or former KingsFans.com members.
  • Draft time has not yet been set, but would be in October sometime before the season starts.
  • Returning players should have received their invites by now. Please let me know if you aren't returning.

Here are the most important settings. Let me know if you're curious about any of the others, although we generally keep the same settings every year.

Platform: Yahoo Fantasy Basketball.
Draft Type: Live Standard Draft
Draft Time: TBD
Scoring Type: Head-to-Head
Weekly Deadline: Weekly on Monday
Roster Positions: PG, PG, SG, SG, ,SF,SF, PF,PF, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN (if we get more than 8 teams, the positions will be adjusted)
Players Stat Categories: FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, BLK, TO
Playoffs: I adjust the number of playoff teams depending on the size of the league. If there are 8-12 teams, we will have 4 playoff teams. For 14 or 16 teams we will have 6 playoff teams.

NOTE: This is a Weekly league, meaning you set your rosters once for the week and cross your fingers for that week.
NOTE 2: I will prioritize board member participation over the league setup. If we have an odd number of managers who wish to participate, then the league will be Rotisserie format to facilitate everyone taking part, until such time as we get an even number to resume the weekly H2H format.

Less than a week left before the draft, and we have 9 teams. Anyone out there have any interest to get that to 10? At least 12 owners would be sweet, but 10 is a necessity.

...anyone!?

Not my fave either, but it is less affected by luck of the draw. It will be fun, don't worry. We will definitely go back to H2H when we get more managers next year.

Hi, I've never done a weekly league before but I've been doing Yahoo! Fantasy BB for several years now and would love to give it a shot!
Alas, you spoke too late :( the draft was this past Saturday. Still, I can see if the members are willing to redraft. Stay tuned...

Hey everyone. Go vote in the league chat. Its been proposed we switch to h2h but we need a majority vote. It will also involve a redraft if approved.

Announcement to all Board Members:

The draft has been re-set to this Saturday, October 14 @ 8 pm Eastern Time. There are six slots remaining, and we hope to keep the H2H format so if you want to join, bring a friend to keep the managers at an even number. This will be the final draft; no more re-sets thereafter.

So is Monday when you reset your roster for the week? I reset mine but none of the changes took… this is gonna take me awhile!
Monday is the re-set. You have to set the players on Monday and be sure that you save the changes. You won't be able to edit changes on any other day. However, you CAN set your roster in advance for upcoming weeks if you desire.

Maybe that was my problem… I didn’t save my changes!
