hey do any of you out there participate in any Fantasy sports leagues? I have played in the Yahoo! ones but they are kinda lame. I wouldnt mind any suggestions for a new place. Or we could find a place for a private league if anyone was interested?

----------------------------
uh yeah . . .
 
I've never done a fantasy league before, but would be interested in getting into it.
I'd need a basic walkthrough, though, since I've never done it before.
It's one of those things that if you have a friend who's into fantasy leagues, you've done it before. If you don't know anyone who's into that kind of thing (my situation), you've never done it.

Only one answer to all your fantasy sports needs:
sandbox.com

DD: with fantasy league. Before the start of a season everybody sets up their draft. Then teams are randomly picked to see who chooses first to last(flips every other round.) Then the players are passed to their teams. And the fun begins when players are traded from team to team or dropped from their team to get a better player who didn't get drafted, throughout the season.
In Football, each position has different points scoring for how they did during a "Live" game. A QB would get diff points for throwing TD from diff ranges or even running it in for a TD and loses points for throwing interceptions and sacks. A Def player would get points for tackles, interceptions, sacks, etc., and maybe loses a point for tackling your own player w/ball who had just got an interception, forcing a fumble which is recovered by the other team for a TD which wins the game

...anybody else watch that NYG/Jax game?

Each week each team goes against another and the one whose players did better than the other team gets a win.

Hope that helps.

I'm willing to join in a league.
I think sandbox leagues have a min/max of 8/16 teams.

Al&gt; I understand the basics and the inner workings. What I don't know yet is the minutiae, the miniscule details.

I did do a fantasy football league online once, but the guy who was running it screwed it up in all sorts of ways.
Somehow, with Eddie George running for 150yds and 3 TDs, my TE catching 2 TDs, and my QB having 240yds passing and 2 TDs, I somehow lost that game because Zack Thomas had 5 sacks that day. No one else on the other guys team did anything of not, but I lost by 14 points somehow.
That experience kinda soured me on the whole fantasy thing, but I'd be willing to pick it up again with someone who knows what they're doing.

If you guys are serious about it, I'm in!

DD&gt; Boy that sucks. It sounds like you should have made a killing...I'm not sure why you lost by 14 points. It takes a while to get your team just right.
It's all in the scoring rules...your QB/RB/TE might have scored tons of points but if your other players had zero or negative points and your opponents players were consistently in the positive, he has a good chance of winning.

Like for example, in Basketball fant. a guy had shaq who always contributed &gt;75 a game but his other starters sucked and though I had midlevel players who always generated &gt;25 a game I ended up in a higher ranking.

Right now I'm in a baseball fantleague and I have the best pitchers and my bullpen is midlevel but my hitters suck and have been scoring negative points for errors and strikeouts. I'm #1 in standings but #2 is only a few points behind because of his hitters which generate huge positive points, even with his pitchers/bullpen being mediocre getting positive points.

Al- you seem to know more about it then me. But I would love to get a "Soup" League going. If we can get enough people would you mind setting it up. I think you would do a better job then me. Any one else that is interested Speak up.

----------------------------
uh yeah . . .
 
I checked out Sandbox, and it looks like it would be pretty easy to run though there.

I'd be willing to set it up if you guys trust a newbie to run the thing.

Hey DD, I'm game.
Maybe we should start a new thread, so we can get a count of how many people would like to join, unless it really is just the three of us who are interested in fantasy sports.

I'll take care of it.
I'll also link to the thread so we have a central thread for all communications.
