Lakers Board All-NBA Challenge

GENERAL INFORMATION

There will be 16 teams. Each team will be responsible for creating their own team thread, giving themselves any team name they desire. Only those who will be fully engaged will be allowed.

The draft order will be based on a lottery format. We'll do this ourselves using a random generation tool online. The draft will be snake format, in which the first round goes 1-16, then the 16th GM gets the first pick in the second round.

ROSTERS

Each roster will be comprised of twelve players. Euros who aren't currently in the NBA are not allowed. Players chosen who are currently in the league are assumed to be at their current basketball skill level (even rookies). Injured players are not assumed to be at their peak or their pre-level injury; injured players are assumed to be at the level they will return to next year. This is subjective and you must understand the risk that comes with selecting an injured player when it comes time for the judges to make their decisions.

TRADES

Trades can happen at anytime. You may trade draft picks, but the number of picks exchanged must be equal to keep all rosters at twelve players. Each team will be allowed to make up to five trades. Three team trades are allowed.

COACHING AND THE PLAYOFFS
At the conclusion of the trading portion of the contest, each GM will submit a write-up as to why their team should be one of the top four teams in their conference. The judges will then pick the top four, in each conference, seed them, and a single-elimination, eight-team tournament will begin.

Remember, this isn't numbers driven fantasy basketball. You need to know the talent you are choosing and choose talents that fit together. You must have some idea of how to utilize this talent as a team and include basic strategies in your write-up.

So it's a draft of the entire NBA?

Yes, it's a league wide draft with trades (picks and players).

I'm fully comfortable running this. I have at ClubLakers for years.

Cool. If someone else takes care of GMing the whole game I'd be in.

Are poster PMs working now? If not ClubLakers KB8 might want to create an e-mail just in case someone needs to email their picks ahead of time.

What is the playoffs based on? Simulations on NBA 2k10? Not sure how the elimination works

We'll need judges.

Do you mean if someone else aside from me runs it?

I am in.
I am a CRACY NBA fan and this is what i do for fun so BRING IT ON

No I meant you running this without much involvement from me

I just wouldn;t be able to be very active for co-GMing this but you might need to work with dcash or another mods for PMs and other help I guess.

I'm sorry I worded that very wrongly.

ClubLakers KB8 · Post #18 » by **ClubLakers KB8** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 2:46 pm

I'm not sure I even need help with this. I've done these before on my own, but I'm open to some help.

Picks will be made in the thread in order and trades can be discussed between teams through PM's (if that works for everyone). Once trades are agreed to, they send them in to me (or the other person running it if there is one) before it's confirmed.

pm's don't work for everyone. pm's only work when sending one to a mod or receiving one from a mod.

^ Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Not really too active on this site compared to CL.

So you think e-mail address exchanges are the way to go?
