Hey all,

Just to introduce myself, I've been reading this board for awhile, dropped a bit after the switch from Yahoo!, but am back. Don't post much, if at all, but read with a lot of interest. I also have talked a lot with Bob Chaikin on the side, and that actually brings me to the matter at hand.

Basically, I've been running a fantasy basketball league now for three years. Originally, I was frustrated with the way fantasy basketball wasn't that realistic, I wanted to more simulate what it would be like to be a general manager.

So that led me on a quest around the internet to try and find some more advanced statistics to base the league off of, which led to 82games.com, which led to the Yahoo! forums, which led me to Bob Chaikin...who in the end helped me to develop a simulation of a basketball game, that, although not quite as accurate as Bob's, is still pretty good, I think.

Well, we've implemented this in the league this year, and it's going pretty well. There are some bumps and bruises, but it's not bad.

Anyway, we have some vacancies. Before, I had gone to more popular basketball forums to try and grab a general manager, but those always turned out to be immature kids that didn't really stick around for that long. So I decided to come here this time, and see if anyone's interested.

If you are at all interested in being part of the original league (I do plan to expand this more, eventually), or want more information, please let me know. Either send me an e-mail at ffsbasketball ]at[ gmail ]dot[ com (you can tell I don't want junk, just ignore the weird brackets, obviously), or talk to me on AOL IM, my screen name is FFSBasketball.

Thanks all,
Ben
