Draft rules:

1. Subject to the rules to be set out below, players from the 1979-80 to 2021-22 seasons will be available to be drafted. You can draft players that came into the league before 1979 but the season you choose can't be before 1979-80.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. The draft will be eight rounds. In each round you will select one eligible player.

5. Following restriction applies for players who had an All-Star selection or All-NBA/All-ABA selection during their career: eligible players must have played an NBA/ABA game in at least three different decades during their career. A decade starts with a year that ends with 0 and ends with a year that ends in 9 (for example, 1990-1999). Notice, that unlike we usually define decades, we actually take into account the dates of the games played. For example, Marques Johnson is not eligible, since even though he played in the 1989-90 season, his last game was played in 1989. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is eligible even though he played from 69-70 to 88-89, because his debut took place in 1969.

Hint: you can check the dates of the games for a player in a specific season by clicking the specific season link in his basketball-reference profile.

Players who didn't have any All-Star selections (NBA or ABA) or All-NBA/All-ABA selections are all eligible, given they're selected in an eligible season.

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

7. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBABABA

8. 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, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, 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.

9. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

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. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

12. The winner of the draft will be determined by playoffs.

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs/rankings begin.
