Upside Down Draft Thread: 1990-2017
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2018 11:42 pm
Draft Rules:
1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1989-90 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1990 but the season you choose can't be before 1989-90
2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. All will be required to play at least 8 minutes in your rotations.
3. This is an upside down draft. You basically start off with your bench and work your way up.
Based on highest career accolades:
Rounds 1,2,3 - No all-stars A,B,A
Rounds 4,5 - Highest accolade 3rd team, all-star or worse B,A
Rounds 6, 7 - All players except MVPs available B,B
Round 8 - No restrictions A
Edit to clarify - you cannot select any players who made all-star OR all-NBA in rounds 1,2,3
4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.
5. The winner of the draft will be determined by a ranking, followed by a four team playoff.
6. You must state the specific season of the player you choose to draft. You don't have to do it right away when you make your selection but you must state it on your team roster page before the playoffs/rankings begin.
7. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 85.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.
8. We will be doing a modified upside down snake draft as shown in #3 above.
9. 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, 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 myself or 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.
10. The clock will begin 9 AM EDT on 4/30. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.
11. Draft order will be completely randomized.
12. 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. The quoting is a courtesy. The clock starts after the last pick, regardless. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet.
The order is as follows:
