The VBAClient is created by some of the team-owners from MBA, these few pages are hosted by MBAHoops and we aim to make the VBAClient work as close to MBA as possible, but otherwise there is no affiliation with MBA (so please do not bother the Commish with questions relating to VBA).
VBA is an acronym for Virtual Basketball Association. It covers a software system which enables users on one level to access and view stats for NBA and WNBA players dating back a number a years.
On a second level it is a commercial program where users can manage a fantasy basketball team, comprised of NBA players, in a keepers league. A central server program does all the number crunching and each user has a client program which communicates with the server program via the internet. It is not possible to use the client program to run a fantasy league independently of the server.
Whatever players you sign will be yours until you release them or they retire from the NBA!
Regardless of whether you decide on a "closed" league (filled with people you know/invite - invitations CANNOT be done via the site, sorry) or an "open" league (people gets assigned as they join in), the league will always contain the configuration of teams of which it was created - If "owners" drop out of a league, the team will be run by the server ("AI", if we can call it that), and the team will be offered to new "owners" - we aim for the same continuance we have in MBA (www.mbahoops.dk)...
