Not sure where SamBone is, but I'm sure he's busy so I started a write up thread. Due by the 26th unless he changes it.

Hey guys I was going to complete my Utah write up but I'm stuck working a double. I will be completing it tonight after midnight. I hope this is not a problem.

SamBone · Post #826 » by **SamBone** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:56 pm

FYI

March 25- final rosters/writeup needs to be done (if you don’t post a final roster/writup you will not be ranked)

starting at noon EST on March 26 till midnight EST on March 27 rankings need to be sent in (if you don’t send in a complete ranking, you will not be ranked )

RANKINGS WILL ALL BE EMAILED TO ME, THEN I WILL POST AFTER ALL ARE IN. This prevents people from voting others bad since they voted you bad.[/quote]

Here is how the rankings will go

OVERALL BEST JOB - rank the top 10 teams from 1-10 (1 being the best overall job the GM did). You judge the current team vs real life, consider fit, salary for the market, and anything else you can think of. This GM will be named the "winner" of this round, and be given choice of team next game (if one will exist)

team you rank 1 will get 10 points, 2 will get 9 and so on. You will be given an 11 for completly sending in rankings for all 3 categories)

FUTURE - rank the top 5 teams from 1-5 (1 being the best) for how the team is built for down the road. Current prospects and picks owned, plus upcoming cap situation matter here.

TEAMS FOR A TITLE- this is a new fun twist for all the teams that tryed building winners, everyone that sends in a ranking will be asked to list the top 8 playoff teams from the EAST and the WEST. The average ranking will be the seed and the teams will be matched up head to head. You can post your rotation and a brief point or 2 then people will vote on a winner and that team will advance just like the NBA playoffs. This is simply to see how teams match up against others.

March 29 – winners announced and head to head playoffs will start

Just to be clear, should you include your team when voting for any and all categories or intentionally skip it?

SamBone · Post #828 » by **SamBone** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:41 pm

skip yourself, you will be given a top score for sending in COMPLETE ranking.

NOTE: you can include your team in the playoff seeding if you believe you are a playoff team

I'm guessing my late write up isn't going to be a problem. I'll post it tonight after 12

I thought so about the top job, but then wasn't sure about the playoffs and the future top 5 rankings. So, for the future 5 skip also?

Post #831 » by **ATL Boy** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 11:21 pm

So when you say complete ranking does that means we vote 1-30, or 1-10 best job and 1-5 best team for the future?

OVERALL BEST JOB - rank the top 10 teams from 1-10

FUTURE - rank the top 5 teams from 1-5

Its both.

SamBone · Post #833 » by **SamBone** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 12:12 am

COMPLETE rankings mean all 3 categories

1. OVERALL BEST JOB - rank the top 10 teams from 1-10 (1 being the best overall job the GM did). You judge the current team vs real life, consider fit, salary for the market, and anything else you can think of. This GM will be named the "winner" of this round, and be given choice of team next game (if one will exist)

team you rank 1 will get 10 points, 2 will get 9 and so on. You will be given an 11 for completly sending in rankings for all 3 categories)

2. FUTURE - rank the top 5 teams from 1-5 (1 being the best) for how the team is built for down the road. Current prospects and picks owned, plus upcoming cap situation matter here.

3. TEAMS FOR A TITLE- this is a new fun twist for all the teams that tryed building winners, everyone that sends in a ranking will be asked to list the top 8 playoff teams from the EAST and the WEST. The average ranking will be the seed and the teams will be matched up head to head.

According to SamBone's criteria

The Following Teams have Submitted Writeups

ATL:Kees
CHA: RoyalWun
CHI: mtamasi
CLE: Tully305

Therefore I believe these are all the teams that can be ranked.

These guys appear to have acknowledged the topic exists, but no writeups. I'll await SamBone's descretion before including / excluding these from my rankings:

LAC: Warriorfan

SAC: Warriorfan

And these categorically haven't submitted anything:

BOS: calderon13
DAL: crazybranman360
DEN: Klomp
GSW: JoebobLollipop

PHX: Gremz

I won't send in my rankings until Sambone gives final word about who's allowed to be ranked

BlackIce · Post #839 » by **BlackIce** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:39 pm
