The storm.wnba.com Fantasy League pits Storm employees and the media covering the team to find out who's the best fantasy player. The rules are simple: eight players per team, regardless of position, accumulate points using the WNBA.com Efficiency Rating System (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK - (FGA - FGM) - (FTA - FTM) - TO). Teams are allowed up to two players on the injured list (if injured in real life), but can only make roster changes every two weeks, when scores are updated.
The participants:
This group drafted out players on May 19 in preparation for the season. The results of the draft and current team rosters follow. Be sure to stay tuned to storm.wnba.com all season long to see how the league shapes up. If you want to take part in all the fantasy fun, join the WNBA's official fantasy league, WNBA Virtual GM.
