17 of the last 19 days over a hundred degrees, the other 2 98 and 99 respectively, most over 105 degrees, no end in sight. Even by Texas standards this is a ******* nightmare. Get up at 530 am to do roadwork or weights befroe it hits the 80's upon sun up....


Water rationing in effect but we may still be in serious trouble by December. Almost have to hope for a massive hurricane season so one or more will hit the Texas coast. of course, several inches of rain in a day when it hasn't rained for 10 months and counting is also problematical.

Anyway I am hoping to get this going soon now, just because I can't wait for the moment when I had some sucker George McGinnis and start laughing.....

Did the rules for this change?  I seem to remember them being different when I signed up...  something like you draft a team and someone has to use two people off that team or something??

We are still free form enough to decide how we want to proceed......

I am still trying to feel out the idea of getting 24 people together for a SYN league of any sort. Believe me it is more fun than any other kind of league, but after the initial sign-up, interest is lagging so I am open to exploring format(s) we can all agree on. And in successive leagues (dream big) we can refine things to make it more fun.


My original idea is 1.)draft people. 2.) Lose person. 3.) Have person added.   Which I think would be easy to manage for basketball.



My modified idea is draft teams, select people. 2.) Get handed team, select peole.  3. Lose player, get handed player. Obviously, this is good for baseball with 25 man rosters, but probably not necessay for basketball, where 2 or 3 guys have disproportionate impact.


As I said, this is new to basketball and I am completely open to suggestions.

robo I think your original format is fine, I just think we have a bunch of wimps as owners

I disagree with this point leibo. We don't have a bunch of owners. Wimp or not.

The format is fine, there are tons of SYN formats that would be fine. I just have a finite amount of leagues I can commit to at one time.

Ok maybe not you but there's plenty that should be in here that are not....

Not a format issue here, just not what I thought I signed up for...  I think I was kind of drunk when I did it though...  not sure if I am in or out....  I had a good idea for what I drunkenly thought it was.

I would like to sign up, but I do wonder how the final 2 rounds work.  Do you take a member off of any team, or just the one in front of you in the draft?  If you are still on track, I will join.

You would take a player off of any team, but each team only loses one player so the last guy in the draft will not have muich choice of which team to screw.


Sorry for the delay getting back to this- eruption of a Chronic Health Problem over the July 4th weekend and am only now getting back on track... sort of.

I am out.
