TIP: The fastest way to get your website questions answered

Hey everyone - if you're needing any assistance with the website or your account, please use the support pages on the websites (for some reason, I'm not getting email notifications when people send DMs via Patreon).

I have the support pages set up to ask a few questions to get the info I need, so I can get back to you with an answer ASAP (I should get back to you within 12-24 hours). ...

2023-24 in-season rankings data will appear in the premium tools overnight

Hey all - current in-season data will be appearing in the league tools overnight. 

Keep in mind that if you select the 2023-24 ranking options it only shows data from players who have played so far this season, so it's best not to use it for anything just yet outside of the rankings pages.

PS. You can currently see in-season rankings via the rankings page here:

Fantasy basketball draft season is over. Now it's time for the real fun to begin!

Hey everyone! I wanted to thank all of you for subscribing to my Patreon. 

Hashtag Basketball started as my little corner on the internet to host some tools I wanted to use for myself. I didn't have any expectations of it turning into a thing, but every season, more and more people started using it, so I put more and more time into improving it.

The website is still primarily a...

TIP: Fantrax Matchup Planner

Hey all - depending on when you first imported your league, you might need to remove and re-import your Fantrax league in order to get the Fantrax Matchup Planner to work (there was a bug in importing multi-division leagues that skipped a step, and should fix itself after a new import).

You'll then need to select your team on the league settings page.

REMINDER: Select your team to activate the Matchup Planner and Beast Mode tools in your ESPN League

Hey all - just a quick reminder for those who are in ESPN leagues. 

You should see a banner on the manage league dashboard asking you to select your team to activate the matchup planner and beast mode tools.

Here's a quick video on how to do it.

PS. You don't need to do this for Yahoo leagues since I'm able to identify your team via the API.

How do you prefer to receive updates about the website(s)?

Hey all - Patreon doesn't share any stats on how many people receive and read these email alerts, so I'm wanting to take a quick temperature check on how you'd prefer to receive updates and communication about the website moving forward, and whether you'd prefer to continue receiving them via Patreon, or if you'd prefer it be moved to a separate newsletter.

TIP: How to set the dark theme as default

Hey all - some of you may have recalled a survey that went out a few months ago. In it, people shared that their preference is to use a dark theme on websites when available, and that the majority of people didn't know this feature existed (which TBH is on me, since I'm not great at promoting stuff).

So, if you'd like to use the dark theme option, you can do it by logging into any of the ...

Fantrax API change

Hey all - just woke up to some alerts that Fantrax changed their API (the thing I used to pull their data into the websites), so importing and refreshing league data won't be fully functional until I put in an update (working on it right now).
