As some of you know, we're organizing a series of fantasy basketball leagues for our members.
It's an ambitious project. We're creating seven 20 team leagues based on region to serve as divisions in an overall NikeTalk fantasy basketball association.
Entrance is by invitation only, but we're currently accepting applications from our members. Preference will be shown to forum veterans and genuine fantasy basketball fanatics.
We're modeling our divisions after the NBA:
Atlantic
Central
Southeast
Midwest
Pacific
Northwest
and International.
A different NikeTalk staff member will preside over each division as "commissioner."
This year, I'll be serving as commissioner of the Southeast division, which includes members from both our MD/DC/VA "urea" and the Southeast.
If you'd like to participate, please leave your email address and, if we have an available slot, I'll send you an invitation. Only 20 total slots are available for this division. I'm occupying one and several other members have already applied, but we'll show preference to our forum vets and early applicants.
Make no mistake, though, this is for die hard fantasy hoops fans only. It's a LONG season and fantasy basketball requires constant roster maintenance. You'll need to adjust your starting five almost every night. The league system we're using, Yahoo sports, offers a co-manager feature - so you can have a friend help you if you don't think you'll be able to handle it alone. (Incidentally, I'll be looking for a talented GM to handle day-to-day operations for my squad, the Yinka Dare Experience.) Since spaces are limited, however, please don't sign up unless you intend to see this through to the bitter and, for many of you, humiliating end.
I'll be sending out the first group of invitations tonight to reward our early applicants with a guaranteed spot.
This thread, which will be shared between the MD/DC/VA and Southeast forums, will be the "official" post for our Southeastern Division. So, feel free to use this post to discuss the league all season long.
Good luck!
