Years ago I played fantasy basketball pretty seriously with a group of great guys using Smallworld Hoops. I love that style of play, where everyone has a fixed amount of money at the beginning of the season and the player's values go up-and-down with buy and sell transactions similar to the stock market.
I know Smallworld sold to Sporting News, and now it seems Sporting News is a part of AOL. Is a version of Smallworld Hoops still out there somewhere? |

Not last year and for the most part it is dead! I would play if you or someone found a site with that format as I feel it is the best.

I would love to play that type of game again.
It was so addictive and fun!

Smallworld => TSN => RotoHog => Fireleague.
Fireleague currently offers baseball and football clones of the Smallworld game. They do not plan to offer a Hoops game.

I don't quite understand why this format for a fantasy game is unsustainable...since other formats on Yahoo do just fine...

I think I may have found one interesting new site
Check out this one
http://nbafantasyleague.com
It says it has been made by players of the old SportingNews game.

the game was good. but it was usually the same guys in the top 10 even top 100 year after year. and most of those had 5 teams.
i guess my point is it wasn't a very large base of individuals. i know a few like myself switched to roto and never looked back.

This game is pretty screwed up.
I made a trade. Then I hit the "undo trade button". This action removed all the players from my roster. But as I tried to rebuild my roster, I found that I only had $1,730,000 in cash left, not $30,000,000.
Also, before you can build your roster you have to pick a league. And once you pick a league, you cannot change leagues. Reebert, Dave and I are in the TSN Hoops league. Password is tsnhoops.

This game is way more flexible than TSN's:
- can define weekly, half-season or full-season leagues
- can customize roster positions and numbers of players
- define total salary cap
For me, it is way better. I like it, I'll give it a try

The tsn hoops league is now up to six gurupies: Reeb, GMoney, Dave, deejay, da moose and myself. And twolves should be joining shortly.
The site is http://www.nbafantasyleague.com
The league password is tsnhoops.
They seem to have fixed all their earlier glitches. No fees, no prizes, 6 NBA players per team and two trades a week. So come join us. What else do you have to do this winter? :-)

I was a huge smallworld fan. I came across Rotoguru using smallworld back in 1997-1998. Baseball was amzing bck then, fantasy football and playoff football, too. Basketball was great, but I just couldn't get into hockey.
Using Rotoguru and the heavy schedule projector (green versus red).
Those were the days.
I still visit Rotoguru once a year for the NCAA tournament than Dave runs.

Some make sense for teams that played yesterday. But I was under the impression that $500 was the min price...
Bojan Dubljevic for example

Hey guys,
You should try the improved version of this game.
Season 2 (after ASB) is now up.
I made a league named: RG League
No password.
The price changes were the issue before. It has much improved now, it is still based rather on performance than on owership%, but price changes makes sense now, before they didn't.
Hope some of you join.... would certainly enjoy it

Look for season 2 and "Join League"

I believe there are no price changes in the play offs.
If I recall correctly...
