The fantasy site hoops.sports.ws has a unique scoring system that a lot of people really like, and there is a league every year that involves several ASFN posters and some other people. Four spots are still available for this year. If you might be interested, please contact me at elindholm AT ca DOT rr DOT com and I can direct you to some more information about how game play works.

Thanks!

Love this league. This is my 3rd season. The scoring system may seem confusing at first, but once you've figured it out you'll realize that it is by far the best.

I think I would be interested, I'm not very good at fantasy sports though. :(

You might be better at this one. The scoring system is actually a lot more logical and intuitive than in rotisserie (sp?) formats -- it's just that the difference sometimes puts people off if they are more used to the other.

Yes, I still have two spots available. Several calls are out at this point, but I can't tell who is serious and who is not.

I will join if you have the spot and give me the details. I have already signed up. I have not done a fantasy B-ball league in a long while. The last one I did, I ended up in the middle of the pack after horrifying injuries to 2 of my main guys. lol.

One qualification for the league is reading directions. ;)

Seriously, it's rather different from how other sites handle it, and while most people prefer the hoops.ws method once they get used to it, some are turned off by it. So it works out better if people know more about it before they claim a spot. I hope you'll be on board!

Sent you an email. Sorry I missed the email address because it was typed all weird (I am sure you meant to do that). At any rate, send me the info because the site is not very helpful. It looks like it's a new site.

Is this a league started by a small group of people or something?

Eric had this league last year, but historically, we've had this league every year for several years. It's light years better than Yahoo or CBS. The site has been redone several times, but the general gist has been the same for years.

The scoring system can throw you off at first. I usually have to do a quick refresh on it before the start of each season. But once you get the hang of it you'll find it to be far superior to any other system.

I did that with the email because I think some spambots out there comb the internet for email addresses. I don't know whether it helps to split it up like that, but what the hey. I got your message and will respond -- thanks!

Chaplin is right -- we've had an ASFN league on this site for years, maybe as many as ten. The situation is, a bunch of friends (whom I have now gotten to know a little bit) set up the site as sort of a college hobby, put it out there, and were a bit ambushed by how popular it became. Ever since, the main guy has been going back and forth between fixing up the site and being able to charge for it, leaving it sort of stripped down and letting people play for free, or pulling the plug altogether. They took the site offline a few years ago, for one season, but now it's back up. I think that someday they'll charge for it, but the owner doesn't want to do that until it's really spiffy.

Game play is fine, though, and glitches get corrected sooner or later. Customer support through the main door is pretty much nonexistent, but I can usually get some help if we really need it. So basically it's like a private party with friends of friends of friends, plus any strangers who happen to stumble by.

Let me know if you have any questions once you read the information I've posted on another site (link in email).
