so, with gm a team running strong and gm a team decade style about to start, i figured i'd see if anyone wanted to get involved in the 3rd edition of Build an NBA Team. Gm a team is a really involved game and may not be great for everyone, this game is really simple and takes a lot less involvement and time (tired of feeling left out of the different games). all you have to do is check in periodically, make a pick, update your roster.

here's a link to the last BaNT that we had: viewtopic.php?f=340&t=865494


anywhoo, basically we have a snake draft filling out our rosters. we then matchup bracket style until we get a champion. each matchup will get voted on by every other participant on the team's ability to win NOW.

my only twist is that lebron/cp3/kobe/wade/howard will not be in the game. want to make it about team building more grabbing a superstar, this part is up for debate though.

1st phase: participant sign ups + team name selection

2nd phase: each participant is given a number slot.

3rd phase: using a snake draft we fill our rosters up to 10 spots.

4th phase: brackets are randomly set up, particpants argue for their team.

5th phase: each matchup is voted by peers, we eventually decide a champion.

I'm only in if Vintage AND Cellar join so I can beat you all.

I'm in, give me a day to think of a good team name though.

this reminds me that priority will be given to active posters. gremz i'll go ahead and sign u up.

I'm in.

Team name - Off Constantly

Cash, just for reference, I'm a Nets fan.

oh i know, just playing off your name, lol.

Alright, I'll go with Eddie Curry's Breakfast Blend as my team name.

Fine, I'm in.

Team name coming later.

Are the teams based strictly on basketball merit or are salaries, youth movement vs. veteran team and other criteria included?

teams will be judged on their ability to win NOW. salaries won't be considered.

dcash in 4.

Marvelous....

I'd also like a bit of clarity on leaving the big 5 out of the competition and the reasoning behind that.

I'll get in if there's room?

Team name:

The Wellsville Fighting Squid.

Team Krypto-Nate

I have read about this game and always have been interested in the head to head matchup. I am game.

I'm in my game is gonna take a while to get start anyways.

Team Name: Black Magic .........

im in i hope i can do three games at once.

TEAM NAME: WISCONSIN PHANTOMS

Since Gremz' joining is dependent upon me joining, and Vintage is putting my name in his name, I will join. As the Vintage Idiots.

I'm in... I'm going to pass on a team name until after the draft, if that's alright.
