Hoops FBL - Rules and Draft info.
Hi Team Owners.
Below are the rules and current player list, I will send an updated copy of this before the drafts begin at 9am on SUNDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2012. The rules havn't really changed at all from last year, but if you have any questions hit me up.
A couple of people have asked about making it more interesting with some $$ on the line. I’m happy for this to happen separately and say those from both leagues that want to, can put in $XX each into one pool and the team with the highest total score from either league takes the cash? If you are keen on this let me know and if enough want to, I’ll sort something out.
Once the draft begins, I will text you a reminder when your turn comes up if you have supplied me with a phone number. (Which most of you have). You are also free to email me a preferred order list if you are going to be absent for a period of time. Please try to check in on the draft page on Hoops fairly often though. There is nothing worse than a day going by with only one or two picks made.
Good luck to all again and those in the Elite League, be prepared for the year of the Daggers!
