NBA/ABA Decades League Signup: TRADES AND TRANSACTIONS GAMES 

Post#1 » by All In The Name » Thu Jan 28, 2010 5:28 am

This draft WILL take place on the Trades and Transactions Games board:

Draft Thread: http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=340&t=981661&start=0

Much of the credit for these ideas goes to Miller4ever, CellarDoor, Snakebites, and Warspite.

The rules are:

16 teams

10 players per team

All NBA and ABA players are available (each player may only be selected once).

Each starter must be from a different decade (I don't expect anyone to try to circumvent this rule, but, just in case, a "starter" must start and play at least 25 minutes per game, and all players taken in the first 3 rounds must start).

1 year peaks (1979-80 is considered the 80s; the 2009-10 season cannot be used)

ABBAABBAAB draft order

No trading

4 divisions of 4 teams each

The first round is round robin. Each team will play the other teams in its divisions once; each participant will vote on matchups not in his/her division. Failure to vote on a matchup will result in a loss of one vote in that player's own matchup.

After that, there will be four teams (two matchups). Eliminated participants can vote.

There may be additional outside judges.

Also, the draft would probably start as soon as 16 people sign up, so possibly tonight or tomorrow.

Ugh. I'm torn.

This is my baby in terms of the idea. And the draft itself should go alright given my ability to orchestrate picks from my phone, but the write-up itself concerns me.

OK, count me in. Last time I tried I didn't really have time or strong willingness to participate once more, but as for now I really want to return and I promise to do my best. ;-)

BTW, I really like this 500-word max writeup... :-)

I'm going to post 400 or so words, then a link to my blog. The blog will simply feature my random thoughts...

on two random hypothetical teams...

Where another 4000 words are going to appear - it's actually cheating. ;-)

Yeah, put me down AitN...I'm going to try and recruit Gremz to help with rebuttals if I get completely bogged down. Two busy guys should equal 3/4 of a regular guy..right?

Definitely, but I'm not so sure Gremz would be interested in that at the moment.

By the way, this current season is not eligible for selection (extra-important, since it's a new decade).

Yep, of course; I even have a name for my planned personal blog that I am gonna showcase here as well - Myth should win this thing...

BTW, there were 6 decades so far if you count the late 40s and the 50s as one. Not that I expect many players from this era being taken, just making sure they are theoretically eligible...
