Not confident we'll have a Sportsdeck comp this year as:

- they have already abandoned the NBL without informing former players
- It opened like almost 2 weeks ago last year and usually by now I would be tweaking my team ...
- Bit of a shame if they don't as that would end any affiliation for me with that site (AFL, NFL etc) if it occurs ...

Not a fan of draft scenarios so might have to give the NBA a miss this year ... or head over to MB etc ... doubt that would occur though so most likely will just stick to the NFL this year ... and then ditch them altogether ...

Asked them via the contact us section if there is going to be a competition this year and below is the response.

Yeah, Sorry should have posted here last week. When I contacted Sportdeck about the NBL DT... They told me they would be doing NBA DT this season. So we are all good.

Did the same after I posted and got the same message .... good to hear as I've done a fair be of prelim work on the draw so that time won't be wasted. Probably should have enquired first but all iss well that ends well.

Me too ... got itchy fingers just waiting for it to open as it'll take me at least a week to finalise my spreadsheets ... already have a fair idea of the players I want to start with ...

Okay so I've finished mapping out the weekly and daily draws ...

- This table shows the number of weekly games for each round ....

- Fantasy finals depend on league size ....

I've created the first league for the year (SCS NBA 1) : https://sportsdeck.com/au/nba/dreamteam/#/?action=join-league&code=587969

- It is a 20 team league which starts in round 1
- This will also be the only league that I envisage tracking player ownership numbers for the year (as per last year) ...
- Open to any SCS members regardless of experience as long as you are prepared to not throw in the towel and last the journey ...
- We get three trades each week in this format ...
- Finals will be rounds 20 - 22 (I believe)

Joined the league as Dazza’s Dragons. Finished Top 10 overall for the last 2 years so will be in it for the long haul.
