-Participation rules: 1) Must log onto the league at least once a week. 2) If will be unavaliable for more than a week, must give notice in the weekly post or on the site message board or via inbox/email to commish 3) If this process is broken once (for a duration less than 2 weeks), as long as c/gm repents (has drastic circumstance/apologizes),
they will be allowed to continue with no recourse. 4) If this process is broken more than once or if the process is broken once for a period of longer than 2 weeks (15 days),
said c/gm will be kicked out of the league (no refund of entry fee) and a replacement owner will be sought. 5) Replacement owners will be charged a derivative entry fee based on when they enter the league. The Derived Entry fee schedule will go as follows: $20 after the draft but before the season starts (as this person didnt get a chance to pick their team but still inherited it early enough
to make significant changes) $15 within the first month of the season (October/November) $10 within the second month (December) $5 within the third month (January) No new entry's after the all star break. We'll just ghost the team. Replacement owners fee will be added to pot. _______________________________________
Scoring: Scoring break down: Offensive Rebs: +2.5 Defensive Rebs: +2.0 Assist: +3.0 Blocks: +3.0 Steals: +3.0 Freethrows made: +1.3 Freethrows attempted: -0.3 2pt fg's made: +2.3 2pt fg's attempted: -0.3 3pt fg's made: +3.3 3pt fg's attemped: -0.3 Turnovers: -3.0 Home teams in this league get an additional +2.5. Road teams in this league lose -2.5 points. As a road team you have to outscore your opponent by at least 6 points to win. OVERTIME: We will calculate scores to ONE decimal point. It will be as it is in excel via calculation. Any game that is scored where the outcome is
LESS than 1 point in scoring difference will be calculate as an OVERTIME game. How it works: Mugeffers 237.9 vs Overbites 237.0 THIS is an overtime game. At this point, 10 G minutes, 10 F minutes, and 5 C minutes will be added to the game. These will work like regulation game minutes.
What's not exhausted will be used. Example: C 35 minutes G 35 G 35 F 35 F 35 GF 35 (26 G + 9 F) CF 35 (13 C + 17 F = 30 total minutes...don't get credit for 5 left over minutes) G 22 F 17 With overtime CF would get 5 extra C minutes, G that played 22 minutes would get 10 counted towards it, and F would get 10 minutes toward his 17. That SHOULD determine the game, if not...goes to Double OT.
----------------------
13th roster spot (new for 2016-17)
To replace IR, 13th roster spot has been created. Stashing and holding for injury is allowed. We will not draft 13 players however.
----------------------
New Trade Rule 2015-2016:
- Preseason thru first 12 games of the season, the only trade restriction is 1st round picked players for 1st round picked players
(trading of first round DRAFT picks, prior to selection, is permitted). However, the traded numbers and/or picks MUST be posted by
one of the members of the trade within 24 hours along with justification. Traders can use either this season's numbers or last
season's numbers as justification for their trade if made preseason thru game 12.
- Starting with the leagues 13th game of the season, multi-player deals must have an offset of stats
(meaning a discrepancy in FPPG must be met the opposite way with a discrepancy in FPPM) and no deal should be outside of 35 FPPG or .20 Avg FPPM.
- Starting with the leagues 13th game of the season, when trading for STAR players (Defined as guys who, avg at minimum 35+ FPPG, 30+ MPG,
*and* 1.25 FPPM…this is the NEW MSR), a player of at least those minimums must be included the other way in the deal. This also includes
Multi player deals.
- Veto Exemption: if a trade is brought up for veto by any member of the league on just grounds (outside the numbers, collusion suspected),
the commish or deputy commish will post a vote for the the trade. 9 of 14 of non-participating owners must veto for it to be overturned.
Voting will conclude 48 hours from the moment it is posted on okayplayer (abstentions count as approving the trade). However, no vote = lose
trade rights for the year, unless GM is otherwise unavailable via text (good cause).
***Shawn is the newly appointed minister of voter registration. He will be responsible for informing the league of a veto vote via TEXT MESSAGE.
So please inbox him your cell numbers if he doesn't have it already.
- Trade Deadline: The Commish's b-day (1/27).
---------------------
Position eligibility: If you propose someone for a position change during the voting window. then that will automatically become truth UNLESS 5 GMs shoot down the request.
---------------------
New Rules for 2012-2013:
The Hendo Rule: After the position votes, if we see a guy and they are blatantly wrong, league will vote on players position.
Late payment penalty:
As we have eliminated IR and our late payment penalty was the loss of IR for the season in past years, my executive decision is that if you pay late, you incur a $4 penalty for every month of the season that you are late.
Missed Oct deadline date = $4
No payment by Nov 30th = $4
No payment by Dec 31st = $4
No payment by Jan 31st = $4
No payment by Feb 28/29th = $4
No payment by Mar 31st = $4
No payment until the entire season is over = $25 total penalty
This would make the fee $85 at seasons end ($60 entry plus $25 penalty). I think this is reasonable. All penalty money will go towards the pot and any additional monies would go to the winner in whole (no split for runner up).
