I'm interested too.. Depends on the system. I'm not exactly sure but basically from what I understand, if there are 10 teams, players are scored based on their performance in their position with the top getting 10 points and the bottom getting 1 point.

I'd probably have some interest. I could put it together and be the commish if you guys want. I run 3 or more leagues each in Basketball/Football/Baseball.
There are two main set-ups.
#1 - Head to Head - You set your lineups each day of the week (you can set them ahead of time), and at the end of the week, you get one Point for each category you won. So, in a league with: FG% - FT% - 3ptM - Pts - Reb - Ast - Stl - Blk (sometimes TO's as a 9th category)...there are 8 (or 9) points available to each team each week. You might win one week 6-3, another week 7-2, lose another week 4-5...and now you are 17-10 on the season.
#2 - Roto - You have a set # of games you can "use" at each position on your roster. So, if we had: PG/SG/G/SF/PF/F/C/Util as our positions, with us starting late, let's say that throughout the rest of the regular season, you can start/use the PG position 74 times. Same for all the rest of your positions. So, you want to be careful about not plugging in really poor players just because you have them, or if a guy is on a cold streak, get him out. Because it is a season-long game.
Let's say we are in a 12-team league. At the end of the season, the points are assigned like this: If you have the most rebounds in the league, you get 12 points. The team with the least rebounds gets only 1 point. Most Steals - 12 points. Least steals - 1 point...fill in the space in between of course.
So, yea.
I probably confused a few of you, I don't really play Roto myself, but a lot of people love it, and a lot of people love H2H.
I'd really prefer to get at least 12, if not 14-16 teams in on this. With only 10, all of the teams are some-what stacked, and it can almost be less fun than scouring the wire for young guys who might break out.
Anyway, I'm interested, and would run it if needed.

From Wiki Commonly, fantasy basketball leagues may track as few as three or as many as eleven categories. Three-category leagues usually account for only points, rebounds, and assists. Five-category leagues generally add blocks and steals. Eight-category leagues usually add field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and either three-point field goals made or three-point field goal percentage. Nine-category leagues usually add the category of turnovers. Rarely, other statistics such as fouls are counted. Some leagues also prefer to break down the rebounds category into two categories - offensive and defensive rebounds. Some leagues allow the league "commissioner" to determine which categories will be tracked. If these categories are chosen poorly, the league may be unfairly weighted for or against certain positions. For example, a league that tracks points, assists, steals, free throw percentage and three-point field goals would be weighted toward guards, who typically have higher numbers in many of these categories, and against power forwards and centers, who typically have higher numbers in the rebound, block and field goal percentage categories, which are not counted. We'll also be doing a live fantasy draft as well

So right now I'm counting 10-11 interested people which would be enough for a league.
I'm going to make a league and will be posting the info shortly.
