1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1979-1980 to 2021-22 seasons will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1979, but the season you choose can't be before 1979-1980.
2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.
3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.
4. Each participant has to draft
If there's no nationality in the ''Personal information'' box, then birthplace becomes the determining factor. One such example is OG Anunoby.
Disclaimer: All people are free to feel that they belong to whichever nationality they want. It's just that we have to establish a framework for the purposes of our game. I believe the wikipedia solution is the easiest one, otherwise we'll get lost in formalities. I opted for wikipedia over basketball-reference cause they provide more info regarding player's nationalities.
5. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected. If a player played for multiple teams in one season, he must have played at least 50% of his games in that season for one of the listed franchises.
6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBABABA
7. 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, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, 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.
8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.
9. Draft order will be completely randomized.
10. 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. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.
11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings followed by a four-team playoff tournament.
Team Roster Page Rules:

. 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 under the required 88.0 FGA
-All of the above must be completed before rankings begin.
