Cross-Eras Duos Draft (60s to Now) 

Post#1 » by ChicagoSportsFan21 » Fri Jun 8, 2018 6:34 pm

Welcome to the Cross-Eras Duos Draft (60s to Now)!

Image

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1959-60 season to the 2017-18 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before the 1959-60 season, but seasons can only be chosen from 1959-60 season or onward. Each player must have played at least half of the regular season games for the year that you are using.

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

3. There will be four rounds, and each pick you will be selecting two players from the 60s/10s, 70s/00s, 80s/90s decades (one from each decade), and you will have one wildcard pick where you will select two players from any decades. You will need to specify which cross-eras you select when making your pick or if you are using your wildcard pick. Also, please note you can only select one all-nba player OR one all-aba player who made the first team per pair in any point of their career for balance purposes.

4. The winner of the draft will be decided by rankings, playoffs, or hybrid TBD. You may not change or delete your vote once a vote has been made during playoffs.

5. 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.

6. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 85.0 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.

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

8. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. Please be aware if you have the first or last pick in the draft and have back to back picks, you will be only having 2 hours for both picks. 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 another participant or myself. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped. The commissioner reserves the right to skip or replace coaches as needed.

9. The clock will start on Saturday June 9th 9 AM EST. The clock will be stopped from 12 AM EST to 9 AM EST.

10. Draft order will be completely randomized.

11. 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 only a courtesy. The clock begins immediately after a pick is made. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Also if a pick is ineligible due to FGA constraints at the end, picking a player already picked, picking the same cross-eras, the participant has their allotted time to change their pick. If they don't change their pick in the allotted time, they can change their pick whenever. Please double check your pick to make sure it is eligible before making your pick so this does not occur.

12. You can use the .85 multiplier on pre-merger seasons. Example-After multiplying .85, 29.84 will be rounded to 29.8 and 29.85 will be rounded to 29.9 (round above 5, round below 5).

Please include this in your roster:

. Players
. Rotations (all your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes)
. Cross-Eras Duos (there should be 4 pairs)
. 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 85.0 FGAs or less. You can use the .85 multiplier on pre-merger seasons. You will round down if less than 5 or round up if greater than 5 (example 19.58 rounds to 19.6 while 19.52 rounds to 19.5).
. Write-ups for rankings if doing one/just for fun

LeBron James (00s) and Artis Gilmore (70s).

OK then let's change course. This keeps my wild card and a ton of FGAs, which should be very useful in a pool so deep.

Magic Johnson 80s and Dennis Rodman 90s
