How about Friday the 19th of October at 9PM? It'll be early in the morning for Crazy, but not 6AM early, It's a weekday for iSay and it's a doable date for Dzwon.

That time is fine for me, and seems like fair for you guys. Anyone objects give me a shout.

Word.

I'm down.

With no major objections, I say we select this time officially sometime soon. It looks like a very sound choice for ^mentioned reasoning.

By selecting the time sooner vs later, ppl can gameplan for it too.

CoolClyde's Bruisers have officially joined!

you changed the draft to Fri, Oct 19th? oh well.
I'm out every evening from Oct 16-20th for CMJ music marathon.

is it possible to change it to Sat AM or Sun AM, so for euro-posters
it will be afternoon/early eve, and Crazy in Japan will be evening?

maybe everyone can pick 2-3 times that are best for them,
like in a poll?

ahhhh, f*ck it, i'll deal with the automatic draft.

I'll make you Commish, you and iSay can decide between the draft times.

Well, every spot is filled up.

Hey rono, H2H or H2H with scoring? Theres two options; not sure which one to rock out with.

CoolClyde, your email hidden, so it won't let me make you commish, same goes for iSay.

I'm pretty sure last season we had H2H w scoring. This IMO is optimal.

I think it adds more strategy by making you have to think more about which attributes your players have tht will allow you to outscore your opponent.

It went smthng like this re scoring:


1. Points (Pts)= 1 Pt
2. Total Rebounds (TRb)= 1 Pt
3. Assists (Ast)= 1 Pt
4. Steals (Stl)= 1 Pt
5. Blocked Shots (Blk)= 2 Pts

How about

PTS
REBS
AST
STLS
BLKS
TO
FGM
FG%
FTM
FT%
3PM
3P%

maybe split REBS to OFF and DEF to make 13 categories so we avoid ties

I haven't signed up yet, I'm in Spain these days and haven't used the laptop at all, is my spot still available? Last year's league was awesome, my mice could do some damage again! I need to go past the first round!

I was thinking with it being 16 teams that 4 divisions would help strategy a little more because instead of competing with 7 other teams to win the division it'd be more like football which is more competitive divisions than basketball

just an idea

Good stats. Can split the boards as you said. But in points style, I don't think we would ever have a tie. Since its total pts each week that win for you.

Eg if you dominate ruthlessly in a week with points, you could in theory not win the overall category battle.

Like rono mentioned for how you weight the stats and how much they are worth, I would rec following model of last year.

I'll unhide later. And def h2h w scoring. More of a pure expression of dominance and overall performance.

Are we going to do 4 divisions I just think it creates more parity and better strategy

example

not making trades with the other 3 teams in your division and it makes the playoffs even harder to get into with 4 automatic teams rather than 2

I want to do 4 divisions also.

Hey, I made the stat categories as follows

Field Goals Made - 2 pts
Free Throws Made - 1pt
3pt Shots Made - 2.5pts
Points Scored - 2pts
Off Rebs - 2pts
Def Rebs - 2pts
Assists - 2.5 pts
Steals - 2.5pts
Blocks - 2.5pts
Turnovers - -1pts
Fouls - -1pts
Games play - .5pts
Games Started - .5pts

I didn't include total rebounds, 3pt shots attempted, free throws attempted, field goals attempted.

I did the scoring system like this because it's as balanced as I tried to make it. Favors defensive players, assist guys, help defenders, centers who block shots, 3pt specialist, and offensive guys.

Example statline

Carmelo goes for 25 points = 50pts
8 - 21 FG = 16pts
1-5 3pt shots - 2.5 pts
7 turnovers - -7 pts
0 assist
11 rebounds - 22 pts
1 stl - 2.5pts
1 blk - 2.5 pts
Game played - .5pts
Game started - .5pts


Total stateline of 57.5 (I think, off the head math)

Sounds great, it def helps when drafting volume shooters and role players

Also 4 divisions is legit when you got 16 teams in the league

I'm down with 4 divisions, for sure.

I'd also probably bump offensive boards to 2.5 or even 3, as they're so much harder to come by than defensive boards - FT rebounds etc.

Great idea Crazy8, I'll definately do that.

Any other suggestion guys?

I was going to organize the divisions just wanted to get Metro's say so and what names you guys want to give to them

I'm thinking

Ewing
Frazier
Van Gundy

something like that
