I'd play. I need to average out my performance from last year as it is pulling down my overall rating. :p

I still know crap about basketball. Last year we didn't have an IR position and that cost me when my #1 player went down. Retrospectively, I should have just dropped him for a chance to squeak into the playoffs.

Not many people this year.

Live Drafts End: 11/30

Perhaps people have not got the b-ball bug yet?

Wait, the seasons starts in four days. Hmm. I don't know what the problem is then.

Basketball strikes me as my least favourite big-league sport. At least hockey has Canada where it is a #1 sport.

I created a league using the same settings as last year...

League ID: 155431

Custom League URL: http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/neowin

password: neow1n

Draft is 11:45am EDT on Saturday Nov. 3rd

Edit: I dropped 'Total Points' since that is only a summation of other categories. I remember that it annoyed me last year.

How do I replace an injured player?

The NBA no longer uses an Injured List (IL), so the IL option has been removed from Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Basketball. Therefore, if you want to replace an injured player in your starting lineup, you must either place him on your bench or drop him to waivers.

I had wanted to add a IL spot to take some of the bad luck out of the game.

I did remove the two UTIL positions and add one more bench spot. We already have a generic Guard position and a generic Forward position so I saw the UTILs as being redundant. The idea behind the extra bench spot would be that it could be used to carry an injured star player without a huge penalty.

Please fight with me here if you would prefer something else.

Set the league to be total stats over the season instead of head to head.

My three choices were head-to-head, points-only and rotisserie.

Typically we do head-to-head and I have done rotisserie in a custom hockey league that I once joined.

Points-only is only available in Yahoo custom leagues. I had to read a bit about what point values to assign and hopefully I did an adequate job.

Of course this means that my pre-ranking of players is likely useless.

Unfortunately we only have an hour to debate this.

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.

      Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.

      Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
