Thanks L3thal (Y) You have a VERY SOLID team there yourself. I was looking at your players individual points and WOW.

I remembered today that the draft was last night, and I was all worried I got screwed, but I did make out okay and cant complain at all. I don't think I would have been all that much better off if I was there for the draft, which makes me question how good it really works.

I guess taking the time when I first signed up to put the default players in a order that I wanted them actually did pay off, which I was also questioning if it would do anything at all. Although I don't remember my exact list, alot of my players I have on my team were definitely higher up on that list.

I checked out everyone's teams though and it is going to be a really good league I think.

Quick Question For Anyone - On the overview page for our league, does anyone know what the # means by our teams name under Waiver?? This is my first fantasy league ever, so please bear with me if I am asking stupid questions, but I could not find an answer anywhere. all I saw was something about Waiver Time being 2 days.

I believe this is what the number under wavier is used for...

"If more than one team claims the same player, the team that is highest on the Waiver Priority List is given the rights to the player. The priority list is initially set based on the reverse of the draft order. However, each time you add a waived player to your roster, you are pushed to the back of the list. This "rolling" list stays in effect for the entire season."

In addition, you should probably look at the scoring system that will be used in this league. Not exactly the normal head-to-head style. Instead, we will be using the Rotisserie Scoring System.

"In a Rotisserie League, fantasy teams are ranked from first to last in each of several statistical categories. Points are then awarded according to the order of finish in each category and are totaled to determine an overall score and place."

Oh yeah...Could a Mod change the thread title to Neowin Fanasty Basketball League :p

Just a quick question to all of you guys who are constantly holding down the top spots, which btw congrats on doing so (Y).

Are you going in every day and changing your rosters accordingly for that nights and/or the next days games?

Like I have said, I have never done a Fantasy league before, and seeing I went from Spot# 9 to Spot #3 down to #8 again, I am thinking that there has to be something more involved that what i currently understand. I am starting to graps everything though because my drop had alot to do with the fact ony 4 of my 13 players were in games last night actually.

The reason I ask is, Upon further investigation, I see that on my player roster for tonights games, one of my Ulitilty Players was not playing tonight, and One of my Bench players was, so I swapped them out accordingly for tonight. I now take it this a good way to proceed for the rest of the season?

TIA,

DL

lolz...That happened to me too only cause on Thrusday one person from my whole line-up was playing. I was in 3rd and now 5th (N). For my team, I usually set the next week whole roster in advance and then make small changes as needed.

About the scoring categories. It was very limited in what you put. The Yahoo! default scoring categories were even worst as it had less categories than what we have right now. Now would be too late to change the categories as the season has already started.

The Public Yahoo Leagues only have these scoring catergories:

FG% FT% 3PTM PTS REB AST ST BLK TO

Verus our League:

FGM, FG%, FTM, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, OREB, DREB, REB, AST, ST, BLK, TO, A/T

On Thursday, none of my players were scheduled to play :laugh:

Change your lineup at least two days ahead of schedule, just in case you forget or can't change them.

I usually do mine every day or if I know I can't get to a computer, I'll do them 2-3 days in advance. This is like my 4th season now and I've done pretty well every year...until I start missing games. Just be careful of going over the maximum games...that's my only complain in doing these things, I think it's a dumb thing to have to worry about.

By the way, you can find me in the league as the BIG ticket.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
