• In historic leagues, fantasy GMs have a rough idea of how players will perform ahead of time. That makes picking a balanced roster all the more important. At Sports.ws every minute (or possession) counts.

• While the stat lines that will be used in your fantasy league did actually happen during the selected season, the order and frequency with which the stats are drawn is entirely random.

• In addition to just picking the players that scored the most points, you'll need to weigh player efficiency, dual eligibility and position scarcity just as you would in any other Sports.ws league.

• Please excuse the missing artwork. When the 2019-20 campaign was suspended, we decided to release the new feature without all of our historic sprites.

In addition to the scheduling configuration, commissioners will choose how the stats will be assigned to players.

• In all formats, one game from the NBA schedule will be selected at random every time a fantasy matchup takes place. The following image shows a stat line from a 1984-85 Legends campaign. Through 8 games, Dominique Wilkins has played even better for this fantasy team than he did for the Atlanta Hawks.

• In leagues with Advanced shuffle settings, there will be a 1 in 82 chance that any specific NBA matchup gets pulled. If Game 5 is randomly selected, the box scores from each NBA team's fifth game that season will be applied to your fantasy matchup. Technically, there would be a 1 in 82 chance of that fifth game being randomly selected the next time as well.

• Leagues with Basic shuffle settings will operate similarly, except an actual NBA matchup can only be pulled once. That makes the player stat lines more predictable toward the end of your fantasy season, introducing a new layer of shifting player values and strategy.
