Thanksgiving Leftovers Draft (90s and on) - Discussion

[durantbird]

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1989-90 to 2023-24 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 played 50% of his games in the chosen seasons for any of the clubs:

Pacers, Bucks, Hawks, Bulls, Pistons, Hornets, Raptors, Sixers, Wizards, Kings, Blazers, Wolves, Jazz, Pelicans

These are the clubs with a losing record as of Thanksgiving this season.

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

If everyone is on board, I would like to try a hybrid approach for this draft. AI will choose the top four teams and then we'll continue with the regular voting on the semis and finals

[Larry_Russell]

I agree with durantbird, and I am in too.


I would only state that all teams use the same format for listing their team in the roster board, and perhaps we can include our defensive assignments and offensive gameplan.

[wackbone]

As good as anything else! In

[MadNESS]

In

[Dr Positivity]

In but I'd prefer no AI

In but I'd prefer no AI

What if we start using AI as an impartial voter as opposed to the final say?

What if we start using AI as an impartial voter as opposed to the final say?

My plan was to introduce my suggestion only if it's a concencus among signed participants.

I think trying it as a single vote, specifically when voting process is stuck on some matchup, can be an acceptable concencus solution to try and incorporate it gradually or minimally.

[Snakebites]

I’ll play.

Don’t mind the AI vote.

[Fadeaway_J]

In, but would prefer AI as a deciding vote if we're stuck

[Larry_Russell]

I like AI as a deciding vote as well.

Especially when a lot of time has passed, or when posters arent sure what to decide. In those cases AI might spur on convo/debate

If someone can bomb quote, I'd appreciate it

What the heck I'll play

[durantbird]

Currently we have 8 guys. It can work with 90s and on, and maybe a combo of 24 hours rule and AI vote.

But I'll try to wait for 9 or 10 to get a broader timeframe and more potential voters in the matchups.

[durantbird]

We'll start with 8 guys.

We'll see about the voting. I'll probably try to start with the 24 hours rule, and then add an AI vote as decider / additional vote when we are stuck.

Regarding timeframe we'll do 90s and on.

Been in a slump with my draft spots
