It's not a bad thing. That would be the day before the season starts, so you could still play a full season.

View the status of other public leagues?  Probably not.  If you are not in that league, you cannot go into the league page.\n\nI have been in fantasy league so many years but never seen anyone who is not belong to our league left a message.

Possibly you are already eliminated from playoff contention. Thats how it works in my league. When you are mathmatically eliminated. You are locked from picking up or dropping players.Sorry.

If you are picking where you get to draft, you are not a commishioner, you are a dictator.  A commish works on behalf of all the managers.  A dictator takes what he wants, damn the consequences.\n\nBack to your question though, I think the ideal spot this year is 3.  You are getting 1 of the top 3 RB's and on the way back, you get the 18th (in a 10 team league) and 23 picks.

I've emailed yahoo fantasy basketball plenty of times and they have told me absolutly nothing I wanted to hear except it's due to heavy volume of people joining the leagues, and techincal glitches. I told myself I wasn't going to purchase this garbage this year but I did it anyway and Im not getting my moneys worth once again. I'm frustrated just like you and I will continue to write these people until the problem is resolved.  Sorry for your troubles too!

You can keep track of your old leagues from you Yahoo! profile.  you will probably lose your transactions and posts, but final rosters and standing will be saved.  \n\nthe Yahoo fantasy ranking will change because of the real NBA draft but it is based tightly with Funstons bigger Board: http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/analysis/news?slug=bf-bigboard-football&prov=yhoo&type=lgns&league=fantasy/nfl

Wrong!  It's not 1st and then 10th if there's ten teams....  It goes, from 1st pick to 9th pick, then the 9th team gets first pick in the second round and the 1st team gets the last pick in that round.  So, the 9th team would get the 10th pick and the 1st team would get the 18th.  \n\nIt's done that way so it's fair.  Think about it - if you were the last team to pick, would it be fair if you had to pick last EVERY time, and the 1st team got to pick FIRST?  So no, it switches every round.

I'm having the same problem.  I added the section, but my team isn't showing up yet.\n\nIt's because the season hasn't started yet.  Even if you have already done a draft, your league isn't considered active by the MyYahoo page.  Look for this to change in a week or two once most fantasy league drafts have happened.  It will definitely appear there before the season starts.

u draft a team and u tell yahoo what time u want to draft it. There are 10 teams in the league. If u do head to head league u face teams one on one if you do rotisserie then the person who has the most points in the end wins the league. The points are determined by how well your fantasy team of players does in real life. For example if u drafted brady and he threw 4 TD's he will get more points if he only threw 1 TD. U need 1 QB 3 WR 2 RB 1 TE 1 kicker and 1 team defense to start every week. Some bench spots are available too. If your player has a real life bye the week u play someone u either put someone in from your bench or check waivers and pick them up on your team. U can offer trades to other managers too.

Drafting is good because everyone is in the same boat.\n\nAll have the opportunity to serve in some capacity.\n\nTrue, your birthdate will determine whether or not you are called up, but it allows for a better cross-section of society, instead of volunteers, which may not always be the best that you could get.

It may be that the entire league isn't ready.  A similar thing happened to me in a head-to-head league, and it turned out that there were an uneven number of teams in the league, and Yahoo wouldn't begin the draft.\n\nBut other than that I can't help you, sorry.

O Sweet Lord I agree 100%.  We already had the draft so now is the dead season until training camp starts.  Then, on a beautiful Thursday night in early September (Sept 7), there will be a glorious rising of pads pounding together, of the wind whsitling around a tightly spiraled pigskin, of jukes, spin-moves, stiff-arms, and wrapped up runners.\nFantasy football fans checking continuously on their scores.  Friends and family hanging out on a pleasent Sunday afternoon watching copius amounts of football (and some beer and brats).\n\nThanks alot, now all I'm gonna think about is football (REAL FOOTBALL) for the next 83 days, 7 hours, and 49 minutes.\n\np.s. Paulie, that is an absurd analogy.  In the NFL, almost every year, there is a team that is 9-7 or 8-8 that makes the playoffs.  A 9-7 team's season translated to baseball would roughly mean they go 91-71 (162 game schedule).  Do some research before you speak next time.

You just decide what fantasy sport you want to play.  Yahoo fantasy sports is a good site and I like the way their leagues are set up (I've played in others and they were not as user friendly).  You can sign up to play in a public league and you'll be randomly assigned to a league.  Your team will be picked by autodraft then but you can still trade players and pick up other players.  Then it's just a matter of keeping your line up set to play.  Basketball and baseball take more work because they have so many games but you can set your line up for several days in advance. \n\nIt's really fun if you have enough friends and coworkers to have a private league where everyone in the league knows everyone.  You can do a lot of smack talk and make crazy trades and it's really fun.  It's really fun too if you can do a live draft (where everyone is either on line at one time choosing or you actually go to a sports bar and pick in person).  Just a warning for a live draft---that is alot of work for the commissioner because then they have to go in and assign all the players to each person's team.  Autodraft is easier but not as much fun.\n\nJust go to the yahoo fantasy website and you can get started.  It's fun and I hope you get a good team the first time out!\n\nOops---I thought of one more thing.  In some leagues you have a maximum number of times you can play a position, or maximum number of innings pitched, etc. so you might want to check on that too.  It's bad at the end of the season when you are all out of players because you didn't know about that and sometimes started people just to be starting them.

I joined a fantasy baseball head-to-head league on Yahoo this spring.  I am already addicted.  I really like the fact that as the manager you can make changes on a daily basis.  I had to get the stattracker so that I can keep up to date on what my team has done through the day or evening and not have to wait until the next day for the matchup scores.  I have two first basemen and two CF/LF....I really like being able to change the line-up based on current statistics, hot streaks and cold spells. \n\nI guess it does seem like there are a lot of games, but I think the fact that I have to keep track of so many things may make me a better fan and way better @ baseball trivia.  I HAVE TO look @ my team every day.  :)
