Draft Rules:
1. All ABA/NBA seasons from 1959-60 to 2025-26 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.
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. Pre-merger seasons (1959-60 to 1975-76) are multiplied by 0.85 to account for pace, with closest 0.1 rounding. 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. You need to fill 8 categories in your final roster:
Category 1 - A player selected in a season where he played at least 50% of his regular-season games for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Category 2 - A player selected in a season where he played at least 50% of his regular-season games for the Portland Trail Blazers (per Ja).
Category 3 - A player selected in a season where he played at least 50% of his regular-season games for the Utah Jazz (per JJJ).
Category 4 - A player selected in a season where he played at least 50% of his regular-season games for the Orlando Magic (per Bane).
Category 5 - A player selected in a season where he played at least 50% of his regular-season games for the Phoenix Suns (per Brooks).
Category 6 - A player who never played in a Conference Finals series. This refers to the player’s whole NBA/ABA career, not just the selected season.
Category 7 - A player who was drafted 30th or later in his NBA draft, or went undrafted (per Brooks/Bane). For players who were part of two drafts, both count (i.e. if in some draft he was picked 30th or later, he still counts).
Category 8 - A player who was selected to an NBA/ABA All-Defensive Team but was never selected to an All-NBA/All-ABA Team (per JJJ/Brooks).
Note: for categories 1-5, previous iterations of the same franchise still count.
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).
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 begin.
