Recent Finals Pairs Draft - Signups (Cancelled)

[durantbird]

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1989-90 to 2024-25 are eligible, subject to the restrictions outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 4 rounds. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. Pre-merger seasons (1969-70 to 1975-76) are multiplied by 0.85 to account for pace, with closest 0.1 rounding. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. Each round you'll select two players, each of whom from a different side of one of those franchise pairs (they need to play 50% of their games in the selected season in the eligible franchise):

Thunder/Indiana
Dallas/Boston
Denver/Miami
Warriors/Boston
Bucks/Suns

Any preceding/succeeding franchise would also count for categories related franchises.

You are entitled to maximum one multi All NBA First selectee in each pair.

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBA.

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

10. After you have made your draft selection, please quote and/or PM the person that goes after you so they will know that it is their turn and they are on the clock. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs/rankings begin.

[Larry_Russell]

Yup

[Dr Positivity]

Sure

[Larry_Russell]

Dallas and Warriors never met in a recent finals, I think it should be Warriors/Boston.

[Snakebites]

I guess I’ll pull the “only if there’s at least 10” card here.

Pool looks deep. For me it needs either a smaller time frame or more people.

[Fadeaway_J]

I'd play with 10 as well, that seems like the right number.

Currently we're at 8 if you join. We can tigthen the timeframe to 00s and on, and remove the oldest matchup of Bucks Suns.

I'd still prefer there be 10 tbh.

Things get real dicey when we have 8 and something happens to one person.

To wit: we have a major storm/hurricane coming over the weekend, and I can't be certain of my internet access over that time.

Yikes. Hope all will be well.

I was really hoping we'd get a couple more for this one, but yeah, I don't think we have the people to move forward right now regardless.

I thought it was a solid enough idea but it doesn't seem to have drawn enough people in.

Looks like we are going to have to cancel. Six is too little and we are unable to get the last two to make it ten
