Premiere Hoops puts uniforms on display.

Today was suppose to be the official start of the 2011 Premiere Hoops Fantasy League! But a scheduling conflict at the game site prevented that from happening! Never the less, some basketball business was still conducted! Early this morning, players from the Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Bobcats meet with the league to receive their uniforms! Made by Adidas, the players were eager to model the new threads for the cameras! The uniforms are fresh. The Mavericks will rock a black uniform with the team name Mavericks and logo painted across the chest area in dark blue and surrounded by a dark blue basketball. The back will rock the classic Adidas strips logo in blue at the top of the uniform, with dark blue numbers in the middle of the back!

The Bobcats will rock the team's light blue uniforms that will display the Bobcat's team name and logo on the front chest area! The back of the uniform will display the players numbers in white! The shirts all came in 2XL but were over sized, so even the big guys had room to spare! Due to a funeral, today's games at the JLM were rescheduled to a later date and not canceled! The games originally scheduled for today will now be played on February 4, 2012. So, moving forward, we'll just proceed down the original schedule to the next date of games, which will take place on December 10, after a bye week, for all teams on December 3! A little longer wait to start our season, but at least we won't have to wait anymore for some NBA basketball, with the lockout basically over! Training camp starts December 9 for the pros and we'll start league play the very next day! Pretty soon we'll be able to talk about basketball actually being played on the courts again! And I can't wait until we can finally jump on the basketball court to start play for our fantasy league! These are exciting times in the basketball world right now! I still love this game....and I bet you still do too!               

Game Time

It's time to Rock! The 2011 Premiere Hoops Fantasy League is set to start league play in about a week! This is a good time to review some important policies and procedures of our league! To begin, league play is expected to start next Saturday, November 26, 2011! First game of the season will be a little hectic! So, please be sure to arrive for your game and dress to play extra early! We'll start off by handing out the uniforms! We just got em in and they look sharp! Next comes the waiver release forms. This year every single player who register's for league play must sign a wavier release form before they step on the court! All we will need is for you to read it, and sign it! Next, every team playing this year needs to submit a player roster sheet. This roster sheet will help us not only keep game stats for players, but also help us keep tabs of player movement! Too many roster changes can lead to team fines and players not being eligible for the play-offs! You have to play in at least two regular season games to play in the play-offs! Once these important pieces of business is taking care of, we'll be ready to get down to the business of basketball!

This year's Fantasy League will host a field of 8 teams! All are decent! We'll play a round-robin seven game regular season. Followed by a post season! The first round will be a single elimination game! The Final Four and Championship rounds will be the best of 3 games! Our league plays four quarters! Each quarter is ten minutes long! Each team is entitled to four full timeouts and two thirty second timeouts! For all of our other rules of the game, please visit our Rules of the Game page by clicking here: http://premierehoops.com/premierehoops_files/RULESOFTHEGAME.html  

Be aware that everything we do will be done through our website at http://premierehoops.com/index.html! Once there you will be able to find everything you will need to stay informed about the league! On our links page you'll find things like the league schedules, players stats, and league news updates! Please keep in mind that our playing site this year is a church! All church activities will take priority over our league! I've been assured that when changes happen at the church that will affect our games, we will be given proper notice in advance! We'll have the option to move our game start times to 1 P.M. But I will probably just cancel the games for that day! It will be too much trouble to re-arrange everything! So, it's probably a good ideal to always check the website for any last minute changes! But hopefully, we will not experience too many disruptions throughout the course of the season, once we get things started!

Finally, I'm really looking forward to the start of the season! We've got a good crop of teams this year! The only thing I'm only expecting from all teams is to be professional! Show up on time for all games! Have your ref fees ready to go! Wear your replica NBA uniforms with pride! Compete hard and have fun! We'll be playing for championship rings! And a team trophy as well I think! All games will be copied and I will always have at least one tape of all previous game with me for sale for just $5. Can't beat that! Hope you guys are ready!
