Spring '13 GMAT Ask The Commish

If you have any questions pertaining to the running of the game, post them here so that way I can answer them. And it's likely others have the same question.

I know you posted a schedule, but the starting date wasn't included. Is there a specific date you have in mind? Or is it just when we get 30 players?

Asked this already on the signup thread but that probably wasn't the right place for it. I've been confused the last two games. When you say "update your roster after making a trade for it to be approved" do you mean update it for the team after the trade or before? If you're confused here's an example.

EX:

OKC trades: Kevin Durant
MIA trades: Lebron James

Does the trade get approved then or once my roster is updated to

Westbrook
Sef, Martin
Lebron
Ibaka
Perkins

Thanks in advance.

Basically, 24 hours (or something close to that) after the 30th person has signed up to play I'll announce teams.

After they are posted in the approved thread. I'll try and keep on top of them as much as I can, and I'll probably have one or two others to help me as well.

EDIT: Obviously, if you make a bunch of trades rapidly, I'm going to be a bit more lax about updating your roster page but if you haven't updated it in a couple of days, your trade will NOT be approved.

Another one: if cash is not in use, how do buy outs work?

Just like a regular release does.

For the roster thread how do you make the spread sheet (excel?) and how do you post it on the forums?

Make it an excel, copy and paste it into paint, and then upload it with photobucket.

CMD+Shift+4 gives you the ability to create a photo - once you've pressed it, use the mouse to drag the cursor over the area you want to create the screenshot, and it'll appear on your desktop.

I'd like to see NO INJURIES accounted for this game. We should consider everyone 100% healthy. My 2 cents.

agreed. but if its a guy like Bynum or Eric Gordon who are always hurt making max money its hard to look past when simulating real bball ...but guys like Rose, Rondo and Gasol etc i consider 100% healthy when ranking/playoffs/writeups

Absolutely. I'd love to see that included in the rules.

We'll let karma decide on this obviously, but I don't like it. I'd prefer injuries were included. We can't just pretend that Bynum or Eric Gordon or someone isn't injury prone.

I think injuries have to be a part of the game. Can't ignore the fact that Andrew Bynum can't stay healthy, although you have to assume their long term prognosis is positive.
