The rules/criteria
- You have to fill out all the roster spots by selecting one player for each category.
- You can select any player whose rookie year in the NBA was 1977 or later (this includes current players).
- You must announce the year of the player you are drafting (for example: if you pick Vince Carter you can select the 2000-2001 version of Vince, rather than the current version.)
- You can fill the categories in any order you wish.
- You must tell which category your selection is for at the time of the selection. You cannot move the player to a different category later in the draft.
- No player can be selected by two different teams.
- There is no "do not draft list"
Draft
- Done via message board. Dont sign up if you dont plan to visit the board several times per day.
- Serpentine draft, except round 3 will be reversed to give the guys picking last a little bonus.
i.e. 1st round: 1>10, 2nd round: 10>1, 3rd round 10>1, 4th round, 1>10, 5th round 10>1, 6th round 1>10 etc...
- There is a time limit on picks. Each person gets 6 hours to make their pick. Hours only count between 8AM and 1AM EST. (example if it becomes your pick at 10PM then you have until 11AM to make your pick). If time expires and you have not made your pick, the next person can go ahead and make their pick. The person who was skipped can make their pick at any time after.
- People who go several days w/out making their pick will either have their team given to someone else or their team will simply be shut down.
Sign Up
- Max 12 teams
- If more than 12 people sign up, priority will be given to those who competed in either competition last year (first come basis), followed those who have been members of realgm the longest. Unfortunately there just isnt room for everyone and I will go with those posters I can trust to be online vs those who have signed up recently.
- We will aim to get started hopefully by this weekend, depending on how much time I have this week to research potential categories.
Winner
- After the draft each team will vote for the team that they think has the best chance at winning a league comprised of the our teams. Tie breaker will go to team with most 1st place votes, then 2nd place votes. If still tied, tie-breaker will go to team that has my favorite players
.- You cant vote for your own team.
- You get 3 votes (first, second, third). first is worth 3pts, second is worth 2pts, third is worth 1pt. most points wins.
