Subject: RIHC 2020-21: Getting Started
Posted by: Bean
- [304422310] Thu, Nov 19, 2020, 09:47
The following managers have accepted invitation to compete in the 2020-21 RIHC:
Top 6 RIHC: RSF, KnicksFan, Schrodiger, Da Bomb, Jasonprof, Tosh (replacing louky)
Top 3 AAA#1: Swish City, TD, tommyd (replacing Addicted)
Top 3 AAA#2: Dave R, BB the Ball, Meatwads
I renewed the league, so returning members should verify their entry. For new members, you should have already received an invitation to the ESPN league. Once I have everyone in the league, we'll begin the draft order selection process. Once Draft Time is ready for the NBA, I will set up Draft Time.
I will not be playing in the league, but you will see a 13th team assigned to me so I can act as commish. Unless, of course, someone wants to step forward and perform commish duties. It would be appreciated. Just use the blue link and send me an e-mail.
This was announced a few days ago:
NBA Tentative 2020-21 Schedule Dec. 11-19: Preseason games Dec. 22-March 4: First half of regular season March 5-10: All-Star break March 11-May 16: Second half of regular season May 18-21: Play-In tournament May 22-July 22: Playoffs
The NBA season begins on Tuesday, Dec 22. The draft should begin on or about Friday, DEC 11, hopefully finishing by Saturday, Dec 19.

Per Fred at Draft Time in response to my asking when it will be available:
I have it on my to do list this weekend. I'm hoping most of the free agency and other contacts will be done by then... *fingers crossed *
Look for invite to Draft Time next week.

If you were in the top league last season, you should have received an e-mail with a random order for our draft position selection process. I sent it to the e-mail address I have for each of you.
Here is the resulting order for our draft selection round:
Pick #1 - BB The Ball Pick #2 - Schrodiger's Cats Pick #3 - RSF - Rip City Dicks Pick #4 - Mighty Meatwads Pick #5 - Team Smith Pick #6 - KnicksFan's Losers Pick #7 - San fordors Pick #8 - Air Tosh Pick #9 - newfoundland newfiebu Pick #10 - Da Bomb Pick #11 - TD Dragons Pick #12 - Swish City
Remember that our draft is a traditional snake draft for 16 rounds.
BB the Ball gets the first choice. Use the format we've done in past seasons if you can.
Proceed.

I may turn the draft on early so you can set queues or even pick if you are so inclined and you are up. I'll be expecting BB the Ball to get things rolling first thing Friday morning if not earlier though. In the end, it's up to him when the draft actually starts.
The clock will be off until Saturday morning when I am drinking coffee, but I am not certain exactly when that is. SO, SET A QUEUE FOR YOUR FIRST PICK BY FRIDAY MORNING and check in at drat time a couple times a day and you should be OK.
On Saturday, I will set a 4 hour limit. There will be a daily clock pause from Midnight to 8 AM EST. Pace should be around two rounds per day. The 4 hour clock may be adjusted if we get far behind schedule.

Bean--I'm ready-- let me know when we will be active and I promise I will get things rolling really fast-- I'll also promise not to cause issues at the turn :) Hoping for a really fun year and draft.
2020 has been full of lots of challenges-- Draft week for basketball and the preparation is always one of the highlights of the year for me---probably need it more in 2020 than ever-- cringing when the "sleeper" (in this league is anyone really a sleeper??) you want falls dramatically but the guy ahead of you picks him to the joy of having your top Centers locked in before the run starts!!
Good luck to everyone this year--- and Meat and Jason please leave them for me :)

Sounds like it's going to get a little frisky on our side of table! Looking forward to the draft. It's always fun competing against top-level players. Everyone in this league earned their way here. I am ready to go whenever the draft opens as well. Good luck everyone!

I have started the draft. If you find an issue with your picks let me know ASAP.
Again, there is no need to make a pick until Friday, but it is not prohibited. I've opened it to allow people to set queues. So no whining that someone is not making their pick please. If someone eats up the entire day on Friday, that's worthy of comment though.
Remember, that once you set a queue, you have to set it to actually pick for you, if you are going to be away from keyboard. Setting a queue alone does not automatically use the queue to make your pick unless you set it to do so.
Saturday morning around 10 AM EST I will start a 4 hour clock.
Good Luck guys

Thanks BB, clock is stopped now.
Meat, let me know who you want and I will enter it and restart the draft with NO CLOCK.
Not sure if you can see it now, but BB took Anthony Davis.
Up to you but you can wait til Friday morning if you like. Let me know.

Sorry for the delay guys. Saw it started last night. I decided to sleep on it since the clock hasn't started and I was still weighing my options. Meatwads select 1.02 Luka Doncic,DAL

We're moving at a pretty fast clip. I have loaded your picks into Yahoo through 4.04. That's as far as I am planning to get tonight.
Check you players on your rosters from time to time to make sure I havent made a mistake. I'll let you know when I have updated again.
Loading them as the draft progresses helps me spread out the workload. It also takes the loaded players out of the player list at ESPN. Useful for making your picks, assuming I havent made a mistake that nobody pointed out to me.

Last Year I started a Draft Rationale thread, most ignored it and nobody went past round 6.
I am going to assume that this legacy is no longer fun for people, so I am not going to force it on y'all. If someone wants to start one, have at it.

Re: RSF - Yeah, big decision point early on to go with the load management thing. Just couldn't leave either of these guys on the board.
Nearly a different direction completely though. Found it very hard to overlook Booker and I definitely would have taken Embiid with him if I had the chance.
Having said that, I'm a big believer in raw stats at the start of a draft, so hopefully I started my squad on a good track.
Alternative view: Edgar and I selected LeBron 9th all those years ago when winning RIHC the first time around, so it's kinda poetic to select LeBron again at this time, the only time, that I can remember him dropping out of the top 10. It's a sign! Maybe....

On the sniping, I was gutted to see Dinwiddie go off the board 2 picks before. I nearly took him 2 rounds before and then got my hopes up as he so nearly made the long trip back to me.
In general, this has been a fierce draft. One that I did almost no prep for
Oh, and my annual shout to Dave R for sniping me on Chris Boucher the pick before me. I was mad about that one!
