Some of you expressed interest in creating a Tapology fantasy basketball league, and it's here. The league is a 15 team (maximum, so first come first serve) points based league. 

Because we all have different schedules and live in different time zones, the draft will be done via ESPN rankings where you create a ranking based on who you want, and ESPN decides who gets what based on your rankings. The draft will take place at 5 AM EST on Sunday, October 26, so please have your rankings done by then.

The link to the league is: http://games.espn.go.com/fba/tools/join?leagueId=158010&inviteKey=1555a

and the password is tapology1

So I read all the comments and the feeling I get is that some sort of penalty should be levied. 

Honestly, the interest for the new league hasn't been great and it would take longer to set it up than it would to just give Cthulhu a penalty. 

I think a fair penalty would be for him to sit all his guys for the 2 days. He had all those all stars for 2 days, so I think its fair that he sit everyone for 2 days..

I'll make a poll on the ESPN page if you think that is fair, and leave any comments about this here or on the poll page.

If he's willing to sit all his guys, I think that shows remorse.

Mmmm, dude. I made the trade Thursday which left me with no one on my team for Thursday. I was able to use the guys for one day which was yesterday. I reeeeally don't want to bench my guys.

Seems like it shows remorse that I apologized and fixed things. Why does a penalty need to be levied? I punished myself. If you add up the points I would have scored Thursday by having active players on my roster and the scores of my original players they will more than likely equal if not be greater than the score of the players I added Thursday and used Friday (The only day I was only able to use the players from the bs trade and pickups).

To be honest, personally, I'm fine with forgiving and forgetting, but it seems some people were upset. The poll is up and if others feel the same way , or if the turnout is low, a penalty won't be necessary.

Right now it is 4-0 for "should be less" (I'll interpret that as no penalty). Unless we have an overwhelming vote the opposite way, I'm fine with letting bygones be bygones since Cthulhu did apologize and reverse the transactions.

Hopefully Lopati doesn't get 11 votes. Otherwise I think we're good.

@mule. Sorry for the false hope. Next year will definitely be H2H and a live draft and you'll definitely be part of it if you want. 

Frankly, you didn't miss out on this year. We've had a lot of issues. Next year's will be highly improved.
