Subject: RIHC 2009-10: Getting Started
Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Wed, Sep 23, 2009, 13:41
It’s time to begin organizing the RIHC leagues.
The RIHC managers have all been invited. Ten have accepted, and I am still awaiting a response from two My invitation guidelines were to give initial priority to the top 4 RIHC teams, the teams finishing 1-2 in each AAA league, the winner of each AA league (2), and me. Those total 11 teams. To fill the remaining opening, I re-invited one manager who had qualified last year but was unable to compete due to work and family obligations.
So, here is the tentative list of the 12 RIHC managers for 2009-10:
Top 5 RIHC: Florian, Species, Mike D, Holt, Guru
Top 2 AAA1: Tosh, Uptown Hoops
Top 2 AAA2: Jason (pending), WonderB
Winner of each AA league: Wesley (pending), Harver
Carryover qualifier from prior year: xpdurmind
In the event that either of the two who have not yet responded decided not to compete this year, I will select an alternate.
I expect the draft to take place during the second half of October. For the RIHC, the draft should not require more than about 8 days, so a starting date of October 15 should be about right. Prior to that, we need to consider whether any rules changes are warranted, and also go through the process of selecting our draft order.
We will continue to use the Kafenatid.net “On the Clock software for the draft. I expect to continue to use Yahoo as the hosting site – although I m open to alternatives.
I will open up a thread for qualifying leagues in a moment. After that, we can begin discussing potential rules changes in this thread.

Here are the basic rules (copied from prior years):
Roster Positions (12/3/2): PG, SG, G, G, PF, SF, F, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Stat Categories (8): FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, BLK
Max games per position: 84
Roster moves: Daily
I figured it would be good to recap the rules regarding the injury slots:
Three bench slots are available to hold any player. Two additional bench slots will be enabled, but are restricted as “injury slots”, hereafter abbreviated as “IS”.
An NBA player shall be eligible to fill an IS if he is listed in any “informed” source as being injured more seriously than “day-to-day”. Examples of acceptable information sources include (but are not limited to):
RotoWire
RotoWorld
RotoTimes
ESPN
NBA.com
Newspaper stories (citing facts, not speculation).
Once a player appears in an NBA game, he is no longer eligible to fill an IS, even if a published source fails to remove his listing. When a player is no longer IS eligible, the team shall have a limited amount of time to remove that player from the IS, as defined below.
If a manager wishes to move a player into an IS but cannot find a confirming source, he may request that the Commissioner approve the designation. The Commissioner shall use his best judgment in making such a determination.
If any manager believes that another team has improperly moved a player into an IS, he may file a protest with the Commissioner. If any manager disagrees with a Commissioner ruling, he may request a league vote. Six votes shall be required to overturn any Commissioner ruling related to an IS.
Each Wednesday, the Commissioner shall review all rosters to assure that any filled injury slots are appropriate. In the event that an IS is improperly filled, the Commissioner will notify the manager of the violation via the email link at the Yahoo site. The notified manager will have 48 hours to correct the roster or to provide a satisfactory explanation. If a breach remains uncorrected 48 hours after notice, the Commissioner shall have the authority to drop a bench player in order to bring the roster into conformance. The player dropped will be based upon the Commissioner’s judgment as to the best interests of the impacted team.
The Commissioner shall have the latitude to extend the time for curing a breach if he knows that the manager is unreachable and/or unavailable to make the adjustment.
No player which is in an IS slot may be placed in a starting slot on any day unless the bench has been cleared of that injury slot, or unless another player is eligible to replace that player in the vacated IS. In the event of a violation, the Commissioner may elect to void any stats generated by improperly activated player.
As before, no player may be picked up as a free agent and immediately placed in an IS. Free agent additions are only IS eligible 10 days after pickup, unless the player has appeared in an NBA game after the pickup and the IS eligibility occurred thereafter.

It feels good to be back into the Big Leagues again. I've been out of RIHC since 2005-2006.
03-04 ~ AAA
04-05 ~ AAA
05-06 ~ RIHC WooHoo!
06-07 ~ AAA
07-08 ~ AA
08-09 ~ AAA
09-10 ~ RIHC WooHoo. I'm back!
I'm away from home on Oct 17-18 (Saturday/Sunday). Hopefully kafenatid will work on the iphone. (Maybe Guru can convince Fred to write an app before the draft starts!).

I'm happy to be back in the RIHC. Looking forward to another fun year.
I don't think there need to be any rule changes from last year.
Just wondering when we will start choosing a draft order?

Here is my tentative schedule:
1. We will start the draft position selection round next week (probably on Oct 5.)
2. We will start the draft itself on October 15, with the expectation of finishing by Oct 22.
Rather than waiting until next week to determine the order for the draft selection round, let's do that ASAP. That will give everyone a week or so to reflect on their eventual choice.
Therefore, I need two sets of the integers 1-12 in some random-like order. The first one will be used to resequence an alphabetical list of manager names, and the second will be used to assign the order for the draft position selection round. I'll accept the first two sets sent to me (via email) by RIHC managers, and then announce the results. Once I have those results, I'll also send out an email to everyone with registration instructions for Yahoo and kafenatid.

I received two sets of numbers.
Florian sent
8 10 9 6 7 3 11 12 2 1 5 4
WonderB sent
7 8 2 3 5 1 10 9 12 11 4 6
The resulting order for the selection round is as follows:
1 Holt

3 xpdurmind
4 Species
5 WonderB
6 Tosh
7 wesley
8 Uptown Hoops
9 Florian
10 jason
11 Guru
12 Harver
We will not start selecting our draft order until next week. But you can now be thinking ahead if you are near the top of the list, and you can rest if you're near the bottom (like I am).

Time to move ahead with selecting draft position.
I'm going to declare a 24 hour clock for this selection round. If any manager fails to make his selection within 24 hours of his turn, we'll simply move on.
Holt - get us started!

Reminder:
Our draft will begin this Thursday, October 15. We will use a 6 hour clock and the draft clock will continue through weekend. There will be a clock moratorium each night from 1am until 7am Eastern time. Picks can continue to be made during the moratorium period, but the clock will be paused. Those picking at the endpoints do not get a double clock. In addition, if anyone is already in arrears for a pick when their next pick is due, they do not necessarily get a second clock period. This will be subject to Commissioner discretion.
I'll plan to activate the draft on Wednesday afternoon, so that you can begin to set up a queue for Thursday if needed. There is no need to start picking on Wednesday, however, and the clock will not be activated until Thursday morning.
For planning purposes, it is normal to complete approximately 2 rounds per day.

Lovely. Right when I'm in my car for 6 hours driving to Orange County.
I'll see to it that Mike D, Tosh and Guru have my cell. Additionally, if Dave R says he speaks for me, take it as gospel. Thankfully, I do have my email on my cell, so I can instantaneously know I am on the clock at least, even if I have to scramble to get to my draft sheets.

I could have interest in trading down in Round 1. Standard trade of 1st and 2nd round picks. It does depend on how things unfold. Let me know if you would have any interest. Tosh - I have a feeling you might :)

It looks like I am on the clock. I am unable to access kafenatid from work, and for some reason, I`m unable to see the draft from my WM 6 cell.
In any case, maybe I can post my pick/or queue here? otherwise I will not be able to pick until 6pm pst.

No problem, in any respect, since we are untimed until tomorrow.
