Unrestricted Draft 1960-2017 - Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by ardee » Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:08 am

Draft Rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1959-60 season to the 2016-17 season will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before the 1959-60 season, but seasons can only be chosen from 1959-60 season or onward. Each player must have played at least half of the regular season games for the year that you are using.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players.

3. We will decide later whether the winner is decided via a hybrid ranking-Playoffs system or only a Playoffs.

4. You must state the specific season of the player you choose to draft. You don't have to do it right away when you make your selection but you must state it on your team roster page before the playoffs/rankings begin.

5. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 90 FGA corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player.

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, 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 myself or 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. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

9. The clock will start at on February 28th, Wednesday at 3 PM EST.The clock will be stopped from 12 AM EST to 9 AM EST.

10. Draft order will be completely randomized.

11. 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. The quoting is only a courtesy. The clock begins immediately after a pick is made. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Also if a pick is ineligible, the participant can re-pick at anytime and the next participant will be able to pick when an ineligible pick is made. Please double check your pick to make sure it is eligible before making your pick so this does not occur.

12. You can use the .85 multiplier on pre-merger seasons. Example-After multiplying .85, 29.84 will be rounded to 29.8 and 29.85 will be rounded to 29.9 (round above 5, round below 5).

Would've liked Kobe but hey, Oscar Robertson is a nice consolation prize.
