Fantasy Basketball?
I had just signed up on fantasy basketball, and I am totally confused. 1. Basics of the Games 2. When do I play other teams? 3. How do I had other people on my team. It always says "you may not add this player because the draft for your league has not yet occured

- On your league main page it should have a draft date. If this is a live draft you should be able to click on the "my team" tab and it will have a clock counting down to your live draft actual time. Until your league conducts it's draft all players are on waivers and can not be picked up. Good Luck
- 1. for basics of the game i would advise you to go to this link...after reading it you should be able to pick up the nuances of the game... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_basketball 2. depends what kind of League you have... ...There are many variations used when scoring fantasy basketball. The more common variations are detailed below. Rotisserie In rotisserie scoring, the real-life statistics accumulated by the players on a team are aggregated and ranked against the same statistics for the other teams in the league. Fantasy points are earned based on these rankings. For example, in a twelve-team league, the team with the highest number of rebounds over the course of the season to date would be awarded twelve fantasy points. The team with the next highest number of rebounds would be awarded eleven fantasy points, and so on, with the team with the fewest number of rebounds being awarded a single fantasy point. For negative categories like fouls or turnovers, the team with the fewest statistics are awarded the most fantasy points. This is done for all categories counted by the particular league. The team with the highest number of fantasy points at the end of the season is the winner. Rotisserie scoring encourages balance on the team's roster. Winning the rebounds category by one rebound or by one thousand rebounds counts the same, while winning the steals category by one steal and the assists category by one assist is worth twice as many points as winning the single rebounding category by one thousand rebounds. Successful teams must fare well in several categories to win in rotisserie leagues. Head-to-head (H2H) In head-to-head scoring, teams are scheduled to "play" each other over the course of a week. During that week, the real-life statistics of the players on each team are accumulated. There are two styles of head-to-head scoring: Most categories is a win — whichever team has the more favorable statistics in the categories chosen (most points, fewest turnovers, highest free throw percentage, etc.) is awarded a point for that category. One can also weight each category, for example: winning scoring earns you three points, winning rebounds wins you two points, winning steals wins you one point. The team with the most points wins that game. Each category is a win — whichever team has the more favorable statistics in a category (most points, fewest turnovers, highest free throw percentage, etc.) is awarded a "win" for that category. The other team is tagged with a "loss". The results of these weekly matchups are accumulated to provide a seasonal win-loss record. Head-to-head leagues often employ a "playoff" system, with seeding based on the seasonal win-loss record. Matchups are determined via a bracket, with the winners of each matchup advancing and the losers being eliminated until a winner is determined. 3. you can't add players yet...coz the league you joined has not started it's draft yet....it's either the draft hasnt started yet or it is on live draft or autopick which needs to be completely finished so you can get your complete roster....if i were you , just edit your player rankings ryt now so you can get your initially preffered players....after the draft is finished you can now add, drop, or propose trades.......good luck
