Sactown Royalty Fantasy League

by tomroadrunner on Oct 24, 2009 3:18 PM PDT

I tried searching for an official STR fantasy league on Yahoo, and I didn't find anything. Obviously this is a problem that needs to be rectified!!!

I feel that now is a good time to get one going, now that all of us have seen the preseason, and everyone has gotten a chance to look at the rookies around the league, etc.

Detail mumbo-jumbo after the jump!

I'm thinking about doing the draft on Monday night or Tuesday morning before the first games of the season.

Now, I would like some feedback from you guys! What would y'all want in a league? Rotisserie, H2H, how many guards, centers, etc. This will be an STR league, not a tomroadrunner league, so I want to know what y'all want to do!

(also, if there is already a league somewhere that I didn't find, feel free to call me an idiot... I know about the PASPN league, but I think we should also have a traditional league as well... Also I don't like that PASPN is slowly but surely taking features away because we're not "Insiders".)

even if there is one already made

lets make another. I would be down with a weekly lineup league, only because I am way to busy for a daily one. Other than that, it doesn’t really matter what the rules are.

Tuesday morning is best for me

Definitely weekly. Side note, I'm looking for 10 to 12 people, if possible.

If I get 5 or more favorable responses here, I’m going to get the league going, and let everyone know the league name and ID. After that it will be first come first serve!

Ill join if you do it on ESPN instead of yahoo

by Kings2k9 on Oct 24, 2009 3:43 PM PDT reply actions

I like the ESPN one alright, but it seems like yahoo's is more user friendly.

I’d like to stick to yahoo, but if everyone would rather do one on ESPN then we could probably work that out.

Come on in!
The draft will take place at 9am(pacific time) on tuesday morning, if there are any glaring problems with that time let me know on here so that I can change it up a bit. If not you can just set up your autodraft rankings or be there on tuesday!

9 AM on tuesday morning

sounds like a strange time for people who have to go to work. Maybe in the evening or on a weekend or tomorrow even?

by EvoStrife on Oct 24, 2009 6:54 PM PDT up reply actions

If we get a full league on either tomorrow or monday, I can bump it up to one of those days

I’m just trying to give people time to join

Or like I said, I can switch it up to tuesday afternoon if it would make it easier for people.

Im on central time, so my scheduling is a little off

I'm curious to know where Tyreke is taken in this league

Cause I been reaching for him hardcore, above the likes of Boris Diaw, TJ Ford, etc in that ranking area.

Screw you Knicks! LBJ to the Kings!!!

I'm in

Just predraft Tyreke #1 and you’ll be ok.

I've usually been grabbing him in the 5th or 6th round when I do mocks

Alright, we are officially halfway full!

Get in while the gettin’ is good!

Also, I have a feeling someone is going to pick Omri in the first round… And it’s gonna be awesome!

Alright! We have 8 now, and we are expecting another 2 in the next day

I think it will be good to change the time to 8pm (PST) on Monday night. That should make it so that more people can be present at the draft. I would make it a tad later, but I’m 2 hours ahead, so I don’t want to be up until midnight. I will be sending an email as well to anyone that is already in the league.

And the League is now FULL!

Thanks for the support y’all! If there is enough interest someone can make a second league, and do a relegation/promotion thing like in soccer, by having an A team and B team, where the top from the B gets promoted to the A league, and the last place A get relegated to the B… Just an idea. But someone else would have to spearhead starting a second league.

by Dub_TC on Oct 25, 2009 7:11 PM PDT reply actions

It is 12 people... Sorry, like I said, we could have 2 leagues or something

Yeah, that would be awesome. I won't commish it though, because I'm at my limit already for leagues, but

that would be awesome. Everything for my league happened over the weekend, so I’m assuming a lot of people weren’t here to get in on it. But I think it would be awesome to have a couple of STR leagues.

I'll create a league if there's enough interest
