The Wish List: Who Dat

(Part 2 of what will be an occasional series on features I'd like to see added to Fantasy Sports Live. Please note that these are strictly my personal wishes, and they may or may not be something the good folks at FSL would consider. For all I know, they may be impractical - that's why this is a "wish" list)

I surfed over to check out what's on tap for tonight -- basketball and hockey btw -- and something about the contest list caught my eye. High stakes NBA action! It looks like two $107 heads up basketball contests ($200 to the winner) went off on Wednesday and one went yesterday. Nice.

Good luck to whoever it is/was/will be.


You can't see who participated in completed contests other than your own (as far as I know), so I have no idea who the NBA ballers are. I think it would be kind of cool if you could see that, even if you couldn't check out their picks. There are probably good reasons for why you can't see who played - the obvious one being that when you check the results of a contest you're in, it shows everyone's team and results and it would probably be a pain to code a viewing option that doesn't show you all that other stuff. It still would be fun to see.

Chalk up "the ability to check out who won" as another entry on my FSL wish list.

It would be really nice to see the rosters and results of the contests in the lobby.

However, I can understand that information is sensitive, so pony up if you want to see who the $213 baller picked.

I look at the $1 contest in two ways:

1) No rake! Wheee!
2) Cheap information on who opponents choose for their rosters.

yeah, I can understand not seeing who the baller picked, I just think it'd be cool to know who the baller is.

Who am i kidding, it's either you or kaiserroll, right?

If you check the lobby regularly like I do (game selection FTW), you can always see the 1st person who signs up.

Once it's filled, you don't know who's the opponent.

Actually, I rarely play above $33 on purpose. I would rather spread the risk over several games than play one $107.

That being said, I have played some $54's in both hockey and baseball.
