WAR HAS CHANGED HINT: TRY TO AVOID THIS ^^^ VARIANT RULES RULE 1 - Positions G, G, G, SF, PF, PF, F, C, Util, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN The rosters and benches are extremely deep, so there will not be a lot of great talent on the wire - considering that, I've geared the starting positions to eliminate positional scarcity as much as possible. I based my math on historical Yahoo rankings and this year's Yahoo positions. Scarcity at shooting guard/center and over-abundance at power forward are my findings, and I'm mitigating them by installing three Guard spots with no SG required and an extra PF spot instead of the traditional extra C spot. RULE 2 - Continuous Rolling Waiver System (Updates Mon, Fri Morning) I like this system in NFL Fantasy and it works just as well in NBA. I was reluctant at first to sacrifice the 'art of the lightning fast injury pickup' but this hopefully makes it so members don't have to spend so much free time thinking about fantasy and reading alerts. It also discourages streaming. If you're anything like me you will let fantasy games win over your social life occasionally and so I want to remove the temptation as much as possible. The waiver claims will go into effect twice a week, once on Mondays at the start of the week and once on Fridays, permitting players to make adjustments heading into weekend games if they deem it necessary. RULE 3 - Trade Take-Backs 2-Day Evaluation Period The purpose of this rule is to encourage trade speculation but support fair trades. I will never unilaterally veto a trade unless I am somehow able to determine that its purpose is to disrupt the balance of the game on purpose. If both managers want to do the trade, they can do it. Even if it makes people mad. However, I need to provide some outlet for the persons who get mad about trades, because in many cases their complaints have merit. So here's the deal: If you can convince either side of a trade that they are making a bad trade, and they wish to cancel it, they can. I leave veto or 'take-back' power in the hands of the individuals making the trade. Another consequence of this rule is its implications towards player injuries that happen during the trade review period. If the injury happens after the trade has been accepted and the review period has already started, you're stuck with it - both sides lose their veto right. If the injury happened before the trade was accepted, both sides have the right to veto. I am aware that this logic is somewhat circuitous but I've thought it through and to me it's the best way to prevent common abuses.  ^^^^ALSO THIS ALL-TIME STANDINGS 1.

Any chance this league has an abandoned team I can take over? I just want an excuse to waste more time when I should be doing more important things. Also, the NBA is really good right now and I'd like more reasons to keep up with it.

Our league is currently a frothing maelstrom of activity but if the tides should ever turn I'll keep you in mind, friend. (Nice job on lineups for the most part gang... looks like we have some turnover in the rankings this season already)

What you can do is put in multiple claims for different people while dropping the same guy. For instance last week I wanted to get rid of PJ Tucker so I added 5 different players all replacing him. I missed out on my first choice, but got my second.
