Subject: GMD Interest

  Posted by: Farn - Leader [451044109] Tue, Oct 28, 2008, 15:13
Before I even bother Guru, is there interest in GMD this year?

If so just post once here that you are interested. If there is enough I'll ask him if it can be done this year.

So 4 teams of 6 persons
or
3 teams of 8 persons

leaves 4 in the free agent pool

of we just draft everyone then its 4 teams of 7.

or something else :)

The ideal would be that everyone who signs up and remains active should be on a team.
Having 4 FA's to cover for players going inactive seems like viable number.

      Wed, Nov 12, 2008, 12:01 		Obviously majority rules but I'd be up for having every manager on a team with no FAs. That way everyone is involved this year with so few players. Might add another element to drafting if managers need to think in advance whether a player might disappear.

Let's let signups go another 4-5 days and maybe aim for a draft on sunday or monday? And yeah, we'll need to get managers by then too.

      ID: 13443116
      Wed, Nov 12, 2008, 12:35 		last year out of 44 managers 4 ended up with 10+ trades. 2 more ended up with 4. Only two of these teams ended up in the bottom 50% tho.

I would probably be against a system where all players are drafted because if you did end up with one of the players who quit then that would really hurt you. But it would also stink to be a free agent and be active as the talk in these threads is the best part once the game gets going.

People from alst year not signed up and remained active:
Yehosh*
turnabouts*
twolves <-
soulman*
tothreeball*
kal zakath
dilo*
Gmoney <-
maineac
soetal
coldwater coyotes
cj
dunkenstein <-

stars are people I know are not playing whereas arrows are people I know are playing and may still want to join. The others not sure on

      ID: 2842717
      Wed, Nov 12, 2008, 12:43 		I agree dpr.
One person going inactive could drag down the rest of the team to the point of not being able to compete.
If the FA list is short there would still be an incentive for FA's to keep playing in hopes of getting picked up off waivers.

I sat out of TSN this year. Kind of a last minute decision, but pretty busy on some other fronts, so I let this one lapse. Thanks to all for letting me participate the last couple of years. If TSN stays active, perhaps I'll be back next year.

I'll keep an eye on the boards here, alway good information on players. Good luck to everyone.

      Fri, Nov 14, 2008, 14:16 		we have 34 teams I so i would think that A should be changed to 4 teams of 7 and B 3 teams of 9.

In terms of which of those we do maybe just see how many managers we have. I dont think it is really matters. I dont think this game is about the competition as much as it is about organizing the conversations so maybe having more people on a team would make that easier?

I would prefer not to do C but between A and B I dont care.

      Fri, Nov 14, 2008, 18:41 		KI raises an interesting point about drafting everyone to encourage continuing support.

I do not know if Guru can figure out a way in which only the top 6 or 7 scores are counted daily for a team--that way teams could have extra players participating who may or may not be as active as some managers would like. If odd number some teams might have an extra player--the top teams would have to release a player to a lower ranking team--ie extra players always on the lower ranking teams(every two weeks rosters could be adjusted).

As last year if team accumulates 10-12 unused trades, it would be considered inactive and dropped (and the teams numbers readjusted based on rank). No team would be allowed to purposely accumulate trades just because their scores not being counted.

By the same token, I think it is important for anyone signed up to be committed to participating on team boards and BB sites on RotoGuru since he has been gracious enough to accomadate GMD. This encourages both participants and non-participants to look at the site.
 
71dpr
      ID: 13443116
      Fri, Nov 14, 2008, 19:38 		twolves,
that is a good idea to ahve everyone on a team but only count the top scores. However i dont think we would want to do this daily because scores fluctuate so much. For the period would likely be better or at least more accurate way of doing it.

      Sat, Nov 15, 2008, 08:36 		I like how twolves and dpr are thinking!! Draft everyone.... for I vote 4 GMD teams; three just feels like too few to me... count the top 6 or 7? scores over a week or two week trading period... Teams with more than 10? trades are inelligible for that two week period...

Then use the model pro teams use for expansion drafts for the "waiver process!!"... Each GMD manager protects 6? of his teams... Each GMD manager can then pick an unprotected team from one of the opposing teams... No one would get there feelings hurt by being dumped into the free agent pool and therefore be out of the game... and if they are upset about being unprotected by there previous manager; they can help there NEW team make there previous GMD manager pay!!!

maybe too hard to figure scoring??

      Tue, Nov 18, 2008, 05:02 		So far weykool, twolves and Blooki have with varying degrees of reluctance agreed to manage a GMD team. And it would seem that with his driving contribution to the cause of GMD this year, dpr should also manage a team.

The following managers need to add their team names and numbers to the sign-up thread set up by Blooki(not this thread):

Dave R
Soetal1
dpr

And after perusing the earlier posts on this thread, the following have expressed interest in GMD, but have not added their team names and numbers to the sign up thread:

Qwerty123
deejay
bd
DrD
Guru
Mrballaholic
Philsphan
C Bird
Rendle
Usual Suspects
Florian
Rebbertxx
Ender
allhair allstars
Donkey Hunter
The Bandwagon
twolves
Plus anybody else still interested in signing up.

Last year's GMD draft started on 11/17. So if you want Guru to have time to assemble the pre-draft stats, agree on four managers, and hold a draft, you all should get your team names and ID #s on the sign-up thread as soon as you can.

      Thu, Nov 20, 2008, 20:45 		I don't want to compete this year, but if nobody objects, I'd be willing to serve as the commissioner. I worked with Farn to set up past GMD leagues, and am a former GMD manager. Any objections?

First issue: Managers. Weykool says he wants to manage, and Blooki said in #69 that he'd reluctantly be willing to manage and twolves said in #57 that he would also manage. Are you two guys still willing to manage along with weykool?

If so, we need a fourth manager. Since dpr's been instrumental in pushing GMD this year, I'd like to volunteer him as the fourth manager. Is that alright with you dpr? It's not really much work. You participate in a draft and start a thread in the forum each trading period.

As I envision it, the draft will be held on Mon and Tues, Dec 1 and 2, with the season starting Wednesday Dec 3. Sign-ups will be closed at Midnight EST Monday, November 24. That will give Guru enough time to put together the pre-draft stats and everyone to have a nice Thanksgiving, while the managers are planning their draft strategies.

So far only 23 people have signed up on the sign-up thread. That means that some 8 folks who said they were interested, haven't signed up yet. Also any others who are interested can sign up as well.

Will weykool, Blooki. twolves and dpr please email me at stein307 at gmail.com to confirm that you are willing to manage. And if any one else wants to manage, they can email me as well.

The draft will start on Monday, Dec 1 and last until all the owners in the pool are drafted. There will be no waiver pool. The season itself will start Wednesday Dec 3.

I like the concept KI presented in #74 whereby only the top 6 or 7 owners on each team count in the scoring for that trading period. And also at the end of each trading period, managers will be able to trade for unprotected players on other team's rosters. Once I find out how many owners are in GMD, I'll finalize the system.

So far 26 owners have signed up for GMD. The following owners expressed interest in GMD, but have not yet signed up:

Qwerty123
MrBallaholic
Ender
allhair allstars
Donkey Hunter
The Bandwagon
Usual Suspects

If they or anybody else want to play this season, I urge them to sign up on the sign up thread. If any of you have a way of contacting them, please do so, and ask them if they are still interested in playing GMD this year.

One or two of the worst scorers will be left unprotected and can be traded for by another team. This is like taking a player from the waiver pool as we did in the past, but since there will be no waiver pool, this will enable the lower ranking teams to attempt to upgrade their teams.

Once we know how many owners we have playing GMD, I'll figure out just how the system should work and present it to you. Look at what KI wrote in #74 to get a general idea of what I'm talking about.

It will be at the manager's discretion.

I like leaving the "protected teams" to be at the managers discretion... however in the interest of not require too much work of the team managers; and in the event of a vacationing of absentee manager. I would add a rule that GMD managers not posting there "protected teams" list by a certain time on waiver wire day would have the top however many teams from the last scoring period being the protected teams.

      Sat, Nov 22, 2008, 23:40 		Looks like we are around 30 teams... that means four teams of 7 or 8... I would vote we protect 5 teams each trading period and score the top 6... score one more team than the protected number would make the "trading process" more interesting? But it might also make the role of the GMD managers more significant/powerful... Just brainstorming; what do other people think??

      Sun, Nov 23, 2008, 01:49 		KI, I agree with basically all you have said. I still want to wait until the end of the sign up period to see how many owners we actually have playing before discussing how many owners are protected.

I agree that if by a defined time on "trade Wednesday" a manager has not listed his protected players, then the top scoring teams for that trading period will automatically be protected and the balance will be left unprotected.

I'm using the term "trade" since we are no longer dealing with waivers. If a manager wants to pick up an unprotected owner from another team, he will have to trade one of the owners from his own team to that other team in order to acquire the player from that other team.

I also don't think it's a good idea to leave too many players on each team unprotected, because then there could end up being too much movement of players from team to team and relationships built among team members will be broken up unnecessarily.

We had five sign-ups today. Still waiting to hear from:
MrBallaholic
Ender
Donkey Hunter
The Bandwagon
and anyone else who wants to join.

having thought about it overnite... I agree that the protected number of teams and the number of teams that score during a given trade period should be the same number. Too much team movement and GMD managers would be too important/powerful in adjusting the teams... I think in the "trade process" as I envisioned it, the manager picking an unprotected player would only identify the team manager he wanted to add and not the team mangager he was going to "trade away." I think after that one team adds a manager, it would be the reponsibiliy of the team manager loosing a team to identify which team he wanted to replace that manager with. I think releasing to the "free agent pool" or "trading away a team manager" is where feelings can get hurt. If GMD managers only identify the unprotected players they WANT! we might eliminate hurt feelings and increase participation.
I think you are doing a terricfic job as league commisioner..

      Sun, Nov 23, 2008, 13:08 		Maineac, I have added your team to the signup thread. We now have 32 players signed up which means we have reach what I considered the "magic number": eight per team.

We have still to hear from:
MrBallaholic
Ender
The Bandwagon
and anyone else (like Maineac) who wants to join.

One of you guys must know how to contact The Bandwagon and/or Ender. So shoot them an email and ask them to sign up.

I would think no more than 2 unprotected teams would be enough to allow teams to improve but not upset the core of each team.

The default for protected players should be the season to date score and not just the last period.
One of your better teams has a bad couple of weeks and the captain forgets to send in their protected list?????
It could upset the competetive balance of the league.

I am probably the most consistently good but not great player in Ultimate (four straight years between #46 and #72). I love the concept that we are draftable, tradeable, cuttable commodities, just like the NBA players who thrill/torture us.
