KFBA - Revolutionizing Fantasy Basketball
After a brief period of downtime last night, I'm happy to announce the successful upgrade to Community Server 2008 SP1.
For those of you that have not received our recent e-mails, the down and dirty is that KFBA as a business is through.
We're keeping some of the leagues alive however, because we like KFBA and want to continue playing. We're not seeking to expand or market and all teams our now free (though we graciously accept contributions to help pay for hosting and stat fees). We are not seeking to bring back all leagues, as the open ones fill up we will consider opening others.
So far for the 2008-2009 season we have activated the six leagues:
1) The Sugar Ray: Every team except ChrisMcool's Brighton Truth has re-upped for next season. Draft is scheduled to start Thursday 10/23 in hamster fashion with two rounds a day (lasts one week).
2) The Greatest Show: Every team except Gunnut's Bexar County Militia has re-upped for next season. Draft is scheduled to start Saturday 9/27 in hamster fashion with two rounds per day (lasts one week).
3) The Johnnie Walker: Every team except the Bloomsberry Peg Legs (now available and seeking new owner!) has re-upped for next season. Draft is scheduled to start Thursday 9/25 in hamster fashion with two rounds per day (lasts one week).
4) The Turnpike: Four teams pending re-up, one of which is availabe and looking for new owner. Draft not yet scheduled.
5) The Travishamockery: Three teams pending re-up, one of which is available and looking for a new owner. Draft not yet scheduled.
6) The Crazy 88s: Severn teams pending re-up, one of which is available and looking for a new owner. Draft not yet scheduled.
If you own an un-reupped team in one of these leagues and want to play next year, simply go to your team page, choose "extend contracts" and go through the shopping cart process (all teams are free).
If you own an un-reupped team in one of these leagues and do not plan on playing next year, please let us know so we can make it available.
If you are interested in joining one of these leagues please select from available teams in the sign up page:

Rudy Fernandez, who will join the Blazers this month, excelled during the Olympics, which included a team-high 22 points in the gold medal loss to the Americans. And after getting a front-row view for many of Spain's games, Nate McMillan said Fernandez, 23, is so talented that he will "definitely" play, and play a lot, for the Blazers.
"I was so impressed with him that it was to the point where after the second time I saw him, I didn't sleep that night because I was moving my rotations around," McMillan said. "I swear I did not sleep. I could not sleep thinking about him. Because I'm saying, 'We can put him here, do this with him, do that with him and Brandon Roy, and do this ...' So he's playing for us. Oh yeah. I see that right now." -- The Oregonian
"If I could say one thing about him, it's that he is fearless," McMillan said. "He's not afraid to make a play, which is great when you are talking about playing in the NBA. You've got to have heart; you can't be afraid. And he is not." -- The Oregonian
we are almost full, 3 more to go. if we can start to get an idea when everyone would like to draft, we can get an early start.
Well, 97% and counting
When does it get going? I am afraid that I will be at church for the vast majority of the draft 12-6ish. I need a contingency plan.

Can we get this guy on the players list before the draft on Sunday??
Leigh, thanks for changing that front page. How about we add just a couple of notes from the Broham or Colonel saying which leagues are now open and when/if decisions will be made to open other leagues. That could be helpful for those returning that haven't checked their e-mail. It might also be nice to be able to direct a potential new owner to the right place if they end up on page one.
"Though Dwyane Wade suggested Mario Chalmers would be Miami's starting point guard as a rookie, the Heat isn't close to assuming that will happen but will give him a chance to compete against Marcus Banks and a possible veteran addition. Miami also expects Chris Quinn back."
He must know how bad Banks sucks.

The Golden State Warriors won't have Baron Davis or Monta Ellis in their starting lineup on opening night.
In the latest blow during a difficult summer for Golden State, ESPN.com has learned that Ellis -- just awarded one of the biggest pay raises in league history -- will be sidelined at least three months, possibly four, after suffering a severe high ankle sprain in his hometown of Jackson, Miss.
