(FREE) WIS 3YR Dynasty ATGMaT 1.0
Commissioners: spree8 & WillyJakkz
Here is the essence of the game which myself and spree8 have discussed and decided to collaborate on.
(Sim example from tournament from the Magic Board:)
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1267051&start=420
In this game we (the Commissioners) will use the WhatifSports (WIS) sim engine to run an entire 38 game season consisting of 20 teams (10 Eastern Conference/ 10 Western Conference) in which GM's will select an NBA franchise of their choosing, draft players (12 man roster), and manage the team (trades, rotation,etc) for a 3yr period in hopes of winning an NBA Championship, or two, or three with a point system alotted for making the Playoffs, advancing to different stages of Playoffs, and of course winning a championship (which will be detailed below in the Rules/ Points section).
After the completion of the FINAL YR (yr 3) of the season, there will be rankings made by all GM's (to satisfy the GM's who prefer this method) with another point system which will take into account teams starting position (which means initial draft position at the beginning of each season, FA "signings") to where they finished after the 3rd yr (which will be detailed below in the Rules/ Draft/ FA section).
Upon reading the Rules section etc, please feel free to sign up stating you have read and understand the rules with your username Team Name (which will be a first come first serve basis, just remember 10 East/ 10 West so please check) and preferred method of contact or even ask questions if you still are unsure of something.
INITIAL DRAFT
The Draft will be a FANTASY DRAFT (ABBB...) where you select a 12 man roster consisting of ANY PLAYER FROM ANY ERA YOU SO CHOOSE (sans 2013 rookies) where you will also state THE SEASON WHICH YOU ARE SELECTING OF DRAFTED PLAYER'S CAREER.
The reason (which is the catch hence 3yr Dynasty Game) is because AT THE END OF EACH SEASON/ BEGINNING OF FOLLOWING SEASON, said player (which will manually be redone by GM) will have to CHANGE the year of each chosen player to the following yr which may show player growth/ improvement, continuance of performance, or a decline in player skill.
Ex: Season 1 LeBron James ('08-'09) Season 2 LeBron James ('09-'10) Season 3 LeBron James ('10-'11) which MUST BE DONE FOR EVERY PLAYER (which will be labeled during draft and on roster page).
*Note: If selected yr of player is 2012-13 player will continue to perform at '12-'13 level in the following year(s) since database only goes to 2012-13.
Ex: Season 1 James Harden ('12-'13) Season 2 James Harden ('12-'13) Season 3 James Harden ('12-'13)
Initial Draft Order will be made using a randomizer placing all 20 teams names within the randomizer.
TRADES
Yes there will be trading (between no more than 3 teams), you can trade draft position and player(s) as well BUT THEY MUST BE 1 For 1, 2 For 2, etc essentially as long as it is an equal number of assets being exchanged.
Ex: Player A for Player B, Player A Player B for Player C Player D, etc.
There will be no trading of future pick(s) UNTIL FOLLOWING OFFSEASON DRAFT (which will be detailed below in Offseason Draft section).
Also remember, there is no salary cap so no need to worry about finances.
ALL TRADES MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE BECOMING LEGAL.
IN SEASON
There will be a 38 game simulated season in which teams will play each other 2x in order to designate standings and playoff positioning for each season. Trading will also be open during this period until approximately the halfway point of the season (prior to game 19 sim) which will follow the same basic GMaT trading post of (ex):
Raptors trade: '95 Penny Hardaway
Nuggets trade: '77 George McGinnis
Etc.
ALL TRADES MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE BECOMING LEGAL.
There also wil be points alotted to winners of each Conference (Eastern & Western).
CONFERENCE WINNER: 250pts
PLAYOFFS/ FINALS
The top 8 teams from each conference will make the Playoffs and will be awarded the following points which teams will keep track of in their team roster thread.
CHAMPIONSHIP: 2,000pts
FINALS: 1,000pts
CONFERENCE FINALS: 500pts
SEMI-FINALS: 250pts
PLAYOFFS: 100pts

FINALS MVP: 150pts
OFFSEASON DRAFT/ FREE AGENCY
Yes there will an offseason draft/ free agency opportunity which will go as follows:
EVERY OFFSEASON a team must drop one player from their 12 man roster bringing them to a total of 11 players which upon the team will then have the OPTION TO EITHER select a player from the Free Agent Pool of dropped players OR draft a player of your choosing from any era that was not drafted.
Offseason Draft/ Free Agent position will be determined by end of season record of non playoff teams using a weighted lotto system and random.org with the worst team getting higher opportunity of #1 Option to Draft OR Select a dropped Free Agent. Trading will also be open during this period where the same trade rules described above apply.
ALL TRADES MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE BECOMING LEGAL.
After the offseason is complete and rosters are full, we will begin season 2 and cycle thru until the end of season 3.
END OF GAME RANKINGS
At the end of Season 3 ALL GM's are expected to rank each team and come up with a TOP 10 ONLY based on how well each franchise did, whether it be regular season, drafting, signing players, playoff appearances, finals appearances, championship(s), as well as consideration to where the team started from their initial draft position (ie, did Team X have last or near last pick in Rd 1 of the draft and still built a dominant force/ perennial winner/ champion, did Team A have a top 10 pick and underachieve, miss the playoffs, never win, build a dynasty etc).
Here is where there will be NO RESTRICTION or criteria, just base it on your own opinions...in other words, be yourself and state your opinion!
1st: 1,000pts
2nd: 900pts
3rd: 800pts
Etc...
FINAL RANKINGS WILL CONSIST OF SCORES FROM TOTALS OF BOTH PLAYOFFS/ FINALS TALLY AND TOP 10 RANKING RESULTS!
IF YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN TOP 10 RANKINGS YOUR TEAM CANNOT WIN, NO EXCEPTIONS!
RULES
There is only one rule besides keeping up with your team, being cordial (competitive trash talk is cool), etc...HAVE FUN!
*LEAGUE MAY BE EXPANDED TO FIELD OF UP TO 24 TEAMS DEPENDING ON INTEREST whereas schedule etc will be amended*
