Using this in Circled Hoops

In Circled Hoops you circle one game for each starter, and only that game counts. A team with four games gives you more nights to choose from, but no extra points, so the question is which night. Lineups lock Monday at 7 PM in your league’s time zone. How to play has the full rules, and you can start a free league.
