The league has been activated at Yahoo. Be sure to setup your active lineup by Oct. 29.

All undrafted players were placed on waivers, which will clear early Tuesday. Waiver priorities are the reverse of our draft selection round sequence.

Coldwater and Jason - you two still need to set your lineups before Tuesday night. Your players are still all on the bench.

It seems that every day all my players are on the bench. How can I fix this?

Move them into starting slots. Same as every season. Once you get them into starting slots, they'll stay there.

Perhaps I'm not understanding the question?

If you can't get "Swap mode" to work, then you can switch back to "Classic Mode" (see the selection buttons on the lower right, underneath the players.)

[2] By the way, are you going to change your team name to Coldwater Coyotes?

Is it just me or does anyone else think Yahoos new design is awful?

I too think it as horrible. Since the change I switched over to ESPN. I was hoping YAHOO box scores might still be a reliable source for starting basketball line-ups but I am not getting much out of their depth chart with Ind/Orl

[3] Been there done that. It's like its got gremlins. I will save a lineup, go to a different day, come back to the day I just set, and they're all on the bench again.

After being persistent over several days, and resetting my lineups for the same day multiple times, I think I might finally have an active lineup for the first few days.

Frustrating. Also, I don't like the scores being + and - instead of 1 to 12. That's just a preference issue I guess.

RIHC summary page is now up, and will be updated daily: http://rotoguru1.com/hoop/RIHC.html

You can also link to it from the RIHC icon on the left menu of the RotoGuru.home page.

I think the split standings will work, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

[5-7] Surprisingly (based on other reactions), I haven't had much difficulty with the new Yahoo format - once I figured out how to change the background from dark to white.

I really swithered whether or not to use my waiver priority on Bargnani. I'm really hoping he can play big minutes and be productive.

That's two very big IFs!!

Poor start from the Aeons, but i just need to hang tight until Jefferson and Kobe return from their injuries. The standings don't make pleasant reading, but it's not quite time to panic yet.

Florian off to his usual impressive start - dominant already.

Of all the years to do away with the injury slot. This seems to be a particularly injury-plagued season. I have four guys out myself.

Six current injuries for me. Injury slot wouldn't be of enough help.

Just a couple weeks ago I was ahead of pace for games played. Not any longer.

Lopez done for the year. Nash probably done for his career. Hopefully I can find some gems on the waiver wire and stay competitive.

This season it's the hardest ever to be a Euro. Every FA is gone during gametime which makes it impossible to compete from this time zone.

For me, It'll be a good performance to survive this season.

Frustrating season overall so far. Millsap exceeding expectations but too many variables in my squad to seriously compete.

I'm enjoying the closeness of the league overall. Lots of teams still in the mix.

I agree with your comment about free agents Swish. Seems like they're gone faster than ever this year.

With Paul now out until the All-Star break :( in addition to my previous injuries I'd be very surprised if I managed to compete for the title this year. At this point I'm just trying to stay in the RIHC for next year.

{26} That was my goal, just to stick around more than one season this time. It's not looking good. I can't remember ever doing this badly. Oh well.

I've never managed to drop anyone two days before they score 51 points with 10 3PTM before.

Now that my players are modestly healthy, I've been able to climb from 11th up to 7th. But to get to the upper half, I may need more than dabbling in the F/A market.

Apparently, I'm mired in last place in assists once again. I could maybe get 1-2 ranking points if everyone stays healthy, but it might serve me better to punt on assists in return for other stats that could help me more. In particular, I'd like to get help in FT%, PTS, Rebs, and steals.

I could also trade away some blocks, although I can get too aggressive there. In other words, don't ask for Ibaka. I am leading in that cat, but my lead is not so great (yet) and I would be putting 4-5 points at risk by getting to aggressive in dealing blocks - especially if an injury strikes.

I'm not going to do something silly, and I'm not pressing to get something done - but if you are looking for assists or blocks, I'll entertain offers.

I've had a couple offers lately and have felt weird considering them since I'm not really in contention. However, looking at my team's situation, we are total lost causes in Pts. and Steals, so Dave if we could find some players to match your trading assists for steals and/or points, that would probably be a win win for both of us. I looked at your team briefly and nothing jumped right out at me. Williams, Beal and Gasol were three players I thought worth considering in this scenario.

Everyone else, feel free to poach me in steals and points if you can offer me something I can make up some ground in. I have never paid attention to points and they have always taken care of themselves. NOT THIS YEAR!

The injury bug is biting bad right now - Kobe, McGee, Farmar, Martin and Henson all out for me. Combined with my previous injuries - Big Al, Teague, Bargnani and Nene, i've been left hobbled.

I'm also extremely proud of the FA run that i went on over the last few weeks. Each one seemed to get injured right after i picked them up. Butler and Nick Young are two that immediately spring to mind!

Despite all of that, i'll continue to fight. From that point of view, i'm looking to get my hands on some assists. I'd be willing to trade anyone on my squad, even George or Big Al, but i'd be expecting elite assist production for either of those 2.

I'll try to come up with some offers, but feel free to send me sensible ones also.

And be a pessimist, I thought Paul George was not going to live up to the hype, so i picked the 'safe' Marc Gasol over him in the 8 spot of the draft. What a mistake. I also thought Bradley Beal was going to be an uber stud this year or at least a steal in the fifth round. Another disappointment. He's not bad but he's not 2nd or 3rd round like I was hoping.

I too have many extra 3 PTM I'm willing to trade. I'm looking to improve in any category other than FT%.
