Join Us: Big Ten Tournament Salary Cap League
By Zach Langdon
The Boiling Point: We’re trying a new game using the Big Ten Tournament and players. Join us at approximately 1:30ish today to get in on the action.
Leroy and I saw this game on a message board and we want to try it out. I know it is last minute, and I’m not expecting much of a turnout, but if you want to get in on a Big Ten Tournament Fantasy Basketball-type game, join us at 1:30ish p.m. (Eastern) today. We hope to have the draft started by 1:45.
The details: Each player has a $ value, and you have to draft 6 players while staying under $100. If we have a small turnout, we may go with 8 players under $125 or something. Obviously better players are weighted more heavily (JJ = $40). Part of the strategy is figuring out which teams will play the most games, as your team is scored based solely on total points scored by your players. The key is to try to find the players with the best value. Obviously JJ will get you 20 per game, but you will use 40% of your salary on one player so it is risky, especially if you aren’t sure he will play in 3 games.
Scoring: Scoring is based solely on how many points your guy scores in the Big Ten tournament.
Find the Player rankings and costs after the jump. We’ll do the draft in the live chat window. Draft order will be finalized around 1:45 p.m., so if you want in be sure to be there by then.
