Description of Above the Rim program from Softdepia.com:
Above the Rim (ATR) is a Windows 95/98/NT software package that will make it easier to manage and run your fantasy basketball leagues. ATR has customizable features that can allow the commissioner to run his/her leagues without worries. Among these features are: Each league's data files can be stored in separate directories, and automatically save report files to the appropriate directory. League files may be backed up and restored from within ATR. The files are stored in .ZIP format. Customizeable input data record layout. Any column-based or comma-delimited ASCII file can be used. Just define it's layout to the software. Up to 30 fantasy teams and owners. Owners may own more than one team. You may enter postal, phone, e-mail and home page addresses for each owner.
"Rotisserie" style of play, with three different methods of scoring.
Roster, position and lineup size quotas.
Transaction fees and budgeting restrictions.
Manual or interactive drafting.
League-defined statistics. Make up your own statistics using the list of base statistics ATR provides as a starting point.
Below is a list of the "standard" statistics tracked by Above the Rim:
3-pointers Attempted

Statistics can be sorted in either ascending or descending order, and scaled to make some statistics more 'valuable' than others.
Reports may be printed, faxed, or saved to disk in either ASCII or HTML format.
Registered users get priority technical support for any aspect of setting up and running your leagues.
What Above the Rim does not do for you:
Run on the Internet or allow you to run 'online' leagues. The software is meant to run by the league commissioner on his/her PC. Run head-to-head leagues. Although this capability is planned for a future release, ATR can only run rotisserie ("ranked and ordered") style leagues. Simulate past seasons. ATR is meant to be a "live" game where you can actually watch your players as you run your teams. This keeps you much more interested in the entire NBA, not just your favorite team(s).
Above the Rim is a "Free to try" program. You can download and try it for an evaluation period.
