There will be a Belly Division for hoops. We have a ways to go but I wanted to put this up before I forget the password:)

Any interest leave your email addy. Give me some time as I check the board every few days.

If ever there were a time for them to allow league switching, I think it should be before the season starts. I'm with jedman and think it's just TSN glitches.

Actually, the Belly was started by a guy named Louky. He invited myself and VID and a guy named Dai to join it. Dai didn't return and Louky only stayed one or two more years so VID and myself took it over. I am unable to get access in a timely manner to play TSN anymore so VID now runs it. But I suggested we continue the Belly tradition in a Yahoo! Roto format last year and it was a blast.

The origins were because Louky at the time was working for this company where he got some coworkers together and they all had a noticeable Belly, hence the name.

I was actually a late-comer to the Belly :) I haven't done TSN Belly for about a year, but would be interested in Yahoo. I may not play TSN at all this year. It's been less fun and more work the last couple years.

The Smallworld/TSN Belly was started in 98. We started the Yahoo Belly last year.

I will do TSN Belly first off... BUT for all you Yahoo guys - will start a Yahoo Belly like last year.
For those doing both or whatever - for Yahoo - Roto or H2H? I like both so its up to you...

I was targeting/thinking a Monday Night 8 PM draft since most of us are around or watching the football game anyway...

GO, "try" and set it up? It takes 5 minutes bro. Get off your lazy arse. ;)

How about a little bit later, like 9:30? Helps the people outside the east (and helps me get kids to bed etc). Just a thought.

Everyone should have received the TSN password. Just found out from a friend that some emails were not received so if you did not get the password let me know.

Dave aka SANFORDORS pointed me to this thread.
I apologize for the trouble. I thought the trouble was with Ultimate Salary Cap Hoops.
I misinformed him believing the change league system had been repaired. I am in the process of reviewing the change league system for Fantasy Hoops. I expect we'll have it repaired shortly.
Sorry for the confusion gang.

Sincerely,
Larry

Could someone send the password my way? It's been a full year since I was last bludgeoned in hoops, and my fragile psyche is ready for it again...bring on a basement finish!

Is the fact that we are not qualifying for the league prize the reason why interest is so low? Would a virtual division be better?

There are 10 in currently so if no one bolts we have enough for a divisional prize

Smallwhirled, was that what you were referring to?

I think maybe he meant that the odds of winning the Belly division are perhaps a bit worse than those of winning a random division and was suggesting that we form a "virtual" division through the magic of RSF and his spreadsheets. :)

lol, so it is only 10 to qualify. That's good then. I love the competition of the Belly, even when I go with one team, I want it in this division. I just wanted to make sure that one of you guys had a shot at the 50 bucks.

I just finally entered the Belly. I'm putting my only "late" team here. Thsi is liley the only team that will be diffeent from my 5 other generic teams in auto divisions.

The funny part was how VID sent me the password:

Password is ****** "skanker"
Enjoy!


[obviously I **'d out the real one]

Anyway, I spent about 10 minutes with different CAPS/lower case versions of the password "skanker" and was wondering why he would name the password part of my handle??? *sigh* I ain't too bright-- you should have no trouble beating me this year!

Time to get a little discussion going. How does everybody feel about their teams? I moved Howard to Rasual Butler after Howard's first two games. I think Gerald Wallace needs a big game tonight to hold his price through their lousy schedule. With the emergence of Croshere, Wilcox, and Loren Woods at a cheap price, I fear there are alternatives to Wallace that could put some price pressure on him.
