Subject: RIHC 2009-10: Qualifying Leagues
Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Wed, Sep 23, 2009, 13:49
It's time to begin organizing the qualifying leagues for the RotoGuru Invitational Hoops Challenge.
Last year, we had 2 AAA leagues and 2 AA leagues. We will continue with a pair of AAA leagues this year, but we can have as many AA leagues as needed to fill the demand. Each league should have 12 managers, and each league will need a commissioner. Rules will be the same as the RIHC, as spelled out in the RIHC preseason discussion thread.
AAA league slots are open only for those who have qualified by playing in the RIHC or a qualifying league last season. There are 24 slots to fill. I believe that the following guidelines form the best qualifications for filling those slots:
1. RIHC managers not invited to the RIHC this year (7)
2. AAA managers ranked 3rd-6th (8)
3. AA managers ranked 2nd-6th (9)
This list includes 24 managers, but there will probably be a few who decline to participate this year. If so, the remaining slots should be filled by
(a) anyone from one of last year’s QL’s who agrees to serve as a AAA commish this year (if we do not have two commish volunteers from the list of those otherwise qualified),
(b) next, those finishing 7th in the AAA leagues(3),
(c) followed by those finishing 7th in a AA league (2).
If more AAA slots are open, they may be offered to any returning QL manager, regardless of league or rank, first come, first served.
The following 24 managers are therefore automatically qualified for a AAA league:
(in some cases, I may have listed the team name, where I do not know the manager name)

You may use this thread to express your interest in joining a AAA league. If you are interested, you must provide an email address or your spot may be forfeited if we cannot track you down when league activities (registration, drafting etc. commence)
I need two volunteers to serve as AAA commissioners. Leagues should be hosted at Yahoo unless the league decides on an alternate hosting site, and each draft should be hosted using kafenatid.net “On the Clock” software. RotoGuru.com will pay the registration cost for your draft. By using a common draft site, we will have the ability to compare and analyze the various drafts when they are completed.
Once we have two AAA Commissioners, they may start separate threads to recruit each league (using the priority guidelines listed above). Please wait until both commissioners have been named before filling specific AAA leagues.
If you are interested in a AA league and you are not qualifed for a AAA slot, you may also list your interest in this thread. Again, provide your email address. We also need a volunteer to Commish the first AA league. Once the first AA league is filled, we will begin to fill another league. There is no qualification standard for joining a AA league. However, participants in the RIHC or a AAA league should refrain from also joining a AA league unless there are open slots that must be filled to complete a league.

Thanks for the early offers to commish.
In order to get moving, I'm going to appoint the following:
Commissioners for AAA: skinneej and wolfer
Commissioner for first AA league: Perm Dude
Skinneej was already qualified for AAA. Wolfer was not, but has relevant experience, and will fill the AAA slot vacated by Ref, who will be unable to compete this season.
So, I'd like to ask each of the Commissioners to start a league organizing thread in the Basketball leagues forum. Go ahead and register your draft at kafenatid.net as well, but don't pay for it. I'll pay for them all in bulk next month.

AAA #1 thread has been set up in the Leagues forum. Post in that thread if you are one of the teams listed above for AAA. Once we have 12 teams we will get the ball rolling.
Also, consider playing in AAA #2 league if you have any aspirations of finishing above 2nd place! :)

I am in for whatever someone who finishes last place in AA gets to play the next year. Is there a rookie league? Maybe a high school league?

If my counts are correct, as of this moment:
11 qualifiers have signed up for AAA1
6 qualifiers have signed up for AAA2
3 alternates have signed up as well (2 for AAA1, 1 for AAA2). The AAA1 alternates may need to shift to AAA2, if there is room.
We are still waiting to hear from the following seven AAA qualifiers:
Footwedge
Indy Dream
Weykool
tequila
aggy
rheo
CJ
I sent out emails yesterday to that list (based on the latest email address that I have). We still have some time, although not a lot. Leagues should ideally be filled by the beginning of next week.
