Fantasy Heaven has GM's from Spain, Brazil, USA, Canada, England, Scotland, France and even Australia.
Fantasy Heaven runs numerous leagues around the SWS model. This is because the Leagues GM's have tried the many other simplistic formats available from Yahoo.com and NBA.com to name but a few and want the challenge of daily roster management and true competition with more than just luck required.
SWS is a unique format that allows a full season to take place. You can if you so wish play a full 82 game season rather than add up your totals for the week.
Roster management is key to any GM's success, but when minutes are limited and players can play in multiple positions, a wrong decision can mean the difference between victory or humiliation.
Salary cap is another league style that we run. It has emerged that NBA.com stock exchange version provides by far the biggest challenge and allows you to test your skills not only within a league format but also against the very best that have internet access.

August 2003 - League founded by Jez Brown with 24 GM's using the SWS format. The initial fantasy draft allowed the more knowledgeable GM's to take advantage of this more complexed Fantasy Basketball Game. The Bolsover Sharks (Franchise has moved) won by selling the Franchises future to a Pawnbrokers in Preston.
August 2004 - The first part of the league expansion saw Guto and Sammy join the league. The Biba the insane trade monkey disappeared. This season saw a draft system introduced that enabled people to hold on to there best players and drop the rest in the hope of getting better. The Premer Dynasty officially started after Pulp had dominated the regular season leaving many to wonder if they could lose. the more cynical commentators of the league attributed Premer's success to the Bosh upgrade scandal.
August 2005 - A guy called Fat Lever joined the league. Nothing would ever be the same again. He also took advantage of a flawed draft system which allowed people to drop their rosters so they could draft from scratch. This would not be used again. The final expansion draft took place with league favorite 20yearfan joining along with Black Adder who sadly left in the 2005 season due to the removal of his head. The league also recruited the Noodle Master Forfeit who revolutionized the the art of trading. The season saw many scandals, almost all of them involving Fat Lever. The Premer Dynasty continued.
August 2006 - The world ended. Well SWS hoops decided not to make there game available, bastards. Jez Brown decided that it was all to much after being habitually forum raped by Fat Lever and handed the League over to Backboard. Backboard believed that although Fat Lever was an insane megalomaniac, he was also a genius and backed him to build what to this day is a vision of beauty. Fat Lever took the essence of SWS and created 240minutes.com saving the league GM's from the desperation that was CBS Sportsline. Backboard also took the decision towards the end of the season to open up Fantasy Heaven after the League was forced to change its name because of legal representation from Jez Brown's mummy. Fat Lever's Hatherasge won that season proving that insanity is not always a burden.
August 2007 - The world ended again. Well mutiny, sexual blackmail and
the arrival of the Black Mamba brought a level of chaos not seen before. Just when all seemed lost and that evil would prevail, SWS sent out an email allowing its loyal pilgrims to enter via a legitimate back door and use the fabled game of gods once again. This season saw more trading than ever before and when the dust settled on what was arguably the most brutal of all battles a new and worthy champion had emerged. It had become the Year of the Rabbit, the Fasttown Rabbit.
August 2008 - This was a season when the balance of order returned. A crazed man from France stalked the somewhat disappointing Beasley until finally he snared his prey. Not satisfied with this acquisition he then recruited the injury prone Jermaine Oneal. I can't remember who pointed it out, but if Rif had chosen to support the Lakers he would have probably won at least one title.This was a season where the Rabbits dominated everyone and everything until it mattered. Finally after owning almost every player in the league, Master B took Pencaitland to the promise land by destroying Premer 4-0. I still wonder who would have won if the Premer Pencaitland Wade trade had not taken place just before the play offs..
August 2009 - Wade becomes a Cocktail, Rif finally gets his bed partner.
