Assigned Teams Non Draft - Discussion

[durantbird]

We currently have enough players but I want to make a few adjustments to my randomization code so it might take another day to start the game.

In the meantime maybe more players will join.

I'll publish my randomization code as well when done for transparency purposes.

For whatever it's worth. I would prefer that everyone have different teams. That may mean expanding the list to the point you are including franchises that aren't viable? Just a thought.

I want everyone to have different teams. Will have to tweak things a bit.

[MadNESS]

Yeah the idea was everyone to have 2 different teams. One from each conference.

[Stan]

I'm in

[durantbird]

I'll make the odds decreasing to choose some team once it was already chosen, but I don't want to limit everyone gets a different team as it limits the number of participants or change the pool we signed up for. Doesn't seem like a necessary requirement for this game to me.

I don't see an issue with someone building around GSW Indy while another builds around GSW Detroit. Reoccurring players is anyhow possible. I'll do limit that the same combo can't be picked twice though

[Snakebites]

Does anyone mind adding 2 teams to each conference though?

I actually think letting people have the same team is more of a change to the premise than simply adding teams.

[MadNESS]

The OG idea I came up with was everyone gets 2 different random teams

The extra rules came in to play and I didn’t care

I don’t think having multiples of teams is a good idea.

You just take 10 players, randomize 10 East teams and assign them, take the same 10 players randomize 10 west teams and assign them.

Pretty simple.

If we don’t all have different teams, I’m probably out on this then.

[Snakebites]

To be clear, I was expressing a point of view. I’m not threatening to leave like Ness is. I’ll play either way.

How about we make it a 2-round snake draft? We select teams instead of players. One conference per round to make sure both ends of the draft gain access to top players.

[Fadeaway_J]

How about we make it a 2-round snake draft? First round we select eastern teams. Second round we select western teams or vice versa.

This is too much of a change from the original idea we signed up for IMO.

I think we just need to lock in what we're doing and move forward, or we'll never get started.

Not a threat, just not a game I’d be interested in that’s all.

Honestly DB said he wants to keep the teams the same. Let’s just do that. If Ness wants out he’s welcome to it.

Call it whatever you want.

I'm against changing anything in the rules. This is probably the idea we've been back and forth with the most I can remember trying to tweak it. If you guys want to change the rules further, I'm afraid I'll be out and I'll leave it to someone else to run.

If someone wants to drop from the current idea, that's ok as well.

Nah, let’s roll with what you’ve got. Ness is the only one who said he wouldn’t play as is. Let’s just roll with 11.

I agree, let's roll.

I guess I just don’t see the value with having some guys with the same team.

Curry vs Curry but this team wins because they have Rasheed Wallace and the other team had Al Jefferson.

I get there might be a handful of players that played on multiple teams that might over lap but then you would have different seasons. If two people get the Warriors you’d have 2 teams with Curry, Klay, Dray. Just doesn’t add up to me and that was never the idea that I came up with with this game.

And that’s fine.

At the end of the day those willing to put in the work to run these games get to make those calls.

I'm heading to sleep but I'll try my best tomorrow (that's nighttime EDT) to make the adjustments to: 1) add two more teams each conference, 2) avoid duplicate assignments.

But I already have a set up randomization code for the current game phrasing and I'm not sure yet how I'll implement the second above requirement while keeping the average rank thing which I think is essential. So I guarantee nothing. If I'm able to do it in time, I'll update the rules and code.

And seems like I skipped Knicks which should be in before Detroit.

I assume MadNess is out if I change nothing, and in if I make the adjustments. That'll be my assumption when running the draw. Unless he states otherwise
