In October, our new league information is listed right on the FSRU.com Homepage. In other months, you can see future fantasy hockey drafts on the FSRU Draft Dates page.
FANTASY BASKETBALL INTRODUCTION: Are you ready to be the General Manager, Coach, and Owner of your own NBA team? As the GM you will draft your team; as the coach you'll decide who to start, and who rides the bench; and as the owner your success will result in the Super Prize Cash Payout that separates Fantasy Sports "R" Us from every other Fantasy Sports Game. From the statistics package, the sports links, the price and the payout, every aspect of the Game was prepared to provide the team owner with the ultimate enjoyment! An incredible fantasy basketball experience!
FANTASY BASKETBALL DRAFT: All Fantasy Sports "R" Us drafts are held in our personal chat room, no uncomfortable conference calls here. Within a few days of the draft, you will receive an email with your draft position. The draft order reverses each round (1-14,14-1) and we always make a best effort to give you your preferred draft position (high, middle, low). Supplemental drafts beginning in year two are non-serpentine (1-14, 1-14, 1-14, etc.)
KEEPER LEAGUE REDRAFT: Every 5th year a keeper league will completely redraft. Redrafts will be serpentine (1-14, 14-1, 1-14, etc). There will be no keepers in a redraft year as all players are available.
Previous years standings will dictate draft order in redraft years. Previous 5 years league champions will receive priority positioning from oldest to youngest. Remaining positions will be issued last team to first team as of 5th years final standings. An example draft order in a 2008 Redraft would be:
1. 2003 Champion
2. 2004 Champion
3. 2005 Champion
4. 2006 Champion
5. 2007 Champion
Positions 6-14 are issued last to first except for the top 5 listed above utilizing the 2007 standings.
If you are considering purchasing a Team for Sale, each established leagues redraft year is available on the League Winners page. We believe drafting a team from scratch is an integral part of the fantasy baseball experience. There is a $50 cancellation fee for orphaning a team. In a league redraft year, this fee is waived.
FANTASY BASKETBALL TEAMS: Each league will be made up of 12 or 14 teams and each team will be made up of 16 players. Each week you will activate 11 players: Four (4) Guards, Four (4) Forwards, One (1) Center, and Two (2) Utility Players. The remaining Five (5) players will be your Reserve Squad and can be drafted for any position. During the draft you can choose the active and reserve squads in any order you deem necessary.
FANTASY BASKETBALL KEEPER LEAGUES: At end of year, team owners will protect 8 players and a 9 player draft will be held.
KEEPER LEAGUE OFFSEASON: Once the National Basketball Association season ends, if your team is paid for the following season, you can trade with other teams paid for the next season throughout the off-season. So our team owners can trade all year long.
HOW TO WIN at FANTASY BASKETBALL: There are 10 equally weighted categories that get you points. Points are awarded in each of the 10 categories based on your standings compared to the other league teams- from 1 to 14. Your points are then added together to give you Total Points, which provide you a ranking versus the other league teams.
There are nine statistical categories and one head to head catagory:
1. Three Point Field Goals (3PG)
2. Points Scored Per Game (Pts/G)
3. Field Goal Shooting Percentage (2P%)
4. Free Throw Percentage (FT%)
5. Steals (Stl)
6. Assists (Ast)
7. Blocked Shots (Blk)
8. Turnovers (TO)
9. Total Rebounds (TRb)
10.Team Wins (WINS)- Head to Head
Team Wins is a Head to head catagory which is decided in a weekly "game" against another team. You receive one Win in the WINS category, when your teams (all your active players) total NBA points scored for the week (Monday to Sunday) are higher than your opponents total NBA points scored for the week. The Wins category is also the first end of season tiebreaker, followed by highest points per game (PTS/G). There is a separate $50 prize for Most Wins.
FANTASY BASKETBALL TRADES: Trades must be emailed to admin@FSRU.com. In the Subject Line owner must state league name and team name. Commissioner notification of a trade must occur no later than 10pm EST each Thursday, or your transaction will be pushed to the following week (when possible commissioner will input trades after Thursday at 10pm EST). Trades will not be made retroactive and if you make an unbalanced trade and acquire an extra player, you must release an extra player. The trading deadline is March 1st. Injured players are NOT eligible to be traded.
FANTASY BASKETBALL FREE AGENTS: The weekly order of free agent pickups will be last place team to 1st place team as of previous Sunday. Each team will be given one free agent pickup per week but is recommended you provide a number of pickups just in case the lower teams choose the player(s) you prefer. TO PICK UP FREE AGENTS: 1. Go to your personal team page, click on Free Agent Bidding. 2. Click on either, "Replace Starting or Bench Player with free agent." On the next page you make two choices: 1. Choose which player to release, 2. Choose your free agent choice. Do the same over to make your second choice (just in case you do not get your first choice), and your third, etc.
FANTASY BASKETBALL ROSTERS: Each week you will be able to activate players from your reserve squad and reserve players that are active. Again we keep it simple at Fantasy Sports “R” Us. First, you go to your leagues personal TQsats website use the “Set Lineups” feature to set your starting lineup, which must be done prior to Monday, 1pm EST. Please note that each team is obligated to play their best lineup and the "strategy" of playing for a lower draft position in keeper leagues is considered an illegal lineup.
