Nineties Players Redux Draft - Discussion

durantbird · Post #1 » by **durantbird** » Sat Nov 30, 2024 10:07 am

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA and ABA seasons are eligible, subject to the restrictions outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 8 rounds. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations. Any player chosen in a season that is pre-merger will have a multiplier of 0.85 applied against their actual fga, rounded to closest 0.1.

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 player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. The player pool will consist of any player who ever played a single regular season or playoffs game during the 90s. Notice it can also be an early game in 1999-2000 season.

The chosen season for your player can be any season in his career, not necessarily in the 90s

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 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, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers). Not AI.

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. 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 playoffs/rankings

Question for the judging/voting are we going just by regular season, regular season + playoffs or more playoffs orientated when evaluation of individual players

I say this because I have movers or shakers depending on criteria on my list. 90's have a list of guys personally that does sway up or down

Haha no thanks 174/240 mins went to SGA, Isaac, Mobley and Adebayo, Ingles and thought I had a perimeter weakness. I don't think it took into consideration positional versatility/switchability.

Yeah, every now and again the AI just came out with some wild takes.

I've heard the argument that sometimes people have wild takes too, but the AI is the ONLY vote here.

We're voting as if there's a playoff series between the two teams, so players with stronger postseason track records will generally get a bump.
