@Amit, I appreciate your suggestion, but I’ve talked to other fantasy bloggers who have played in large leagues before, and used their experience and input to decide on the appropriate settings.

There are actually 10 roster spots in the league, so there will be 200 players drafted. The problem with having 260 players drafted would be that – unless all you had 11 or 12 of the 13 counting towards your stats – there’s nobody worth picking up in the free agent pool. Eight of the 10 roster spots in the league are starting spots, so there’s 2 bench spots to put injured players that you don’t want to drop, but that makes it so people can’t just pick up players that they’re not actually going to play.

@Will, my bad. You said in your original comment you weren’t really interested in the Monster league, so I only put you on the list for the 12 team leagues, but one 12-teamer was already full, and Patrick (who was going to run the other one) got himself into 6 other leagues (and will soon be murdered by his wife). So we thought we’d get everyone else into the Monster league, but, as stated, I didn’t have your name on the list. If it makes you feel any better, there were at least 4 other people who didn’t get in either.

you sent me the invitation again but i did sign up after the first one so its all good.. my team name is “why so serious?” isnt it the best name ever? )

anyway, i think its wrong to limit the roster spots on each team to 8-9 like you did. 13 is much better.. yeah guys will have to dig deep and draft dorell wright.. but this is were you seperate the good from the great IMO. i think its more fun. this why we are playing 20 teams right? think about it

I never got an invite to join the league. Maybe i put in my email incorrectly? I hope there’s still a spot for me.

If you’ll have me…
Never done a 20-team league though.
Big.

Love your fantasy basketball advertisement though.
