Somebody has to start this...

I am not sure we will find enough people to even go ahead with this, but it's worth the shot imo. :)

It will have to go fast if we want to do this however.

So who's in?

team name:
team id:
I want to be a Manager: Yes or No.


Guru, you would be up to run the stats again?

Ps:
I'm in. And I will manage a team.
A title to defend :)

What would being a manager entail? I think the managers should be more experienced Gurupies than I, but I might consider it if no one else wants to do it.

      Leader
      ID: 039541913
      Fri, Nov 13, 2009, 14:14 		As the initial commissioner of last year's GMD, I thought I'd compile the rules from last year's GMD:

GMD DRAFT

Last year we had 34 players in the GMD player pool divided on to four teams. That meant 2 teams of 8 and 2 teams of 9.

As for the draft, it was a "snake" draft with the managers picking at 1&8, 2&7, 3&6, 4&5, and so on, until all the people who signed-up are drafted. Every owner in the players pool was part of a GMD team; there was no waiver list.

The order of the draft was based on the WWR of the four managers on a date chosen by the managers, the worst picking first.

Any player was allowed to change his team up until 11pm EST the day before the draft.

Following the draft, anyone else who wished to play GMD could join by placing his or her team name and id number in the GMD sign-up thread. At the end of the first trading period they were assigned to one of the GMD teams.


TRADING PERIODS

Trading periods lasted for two weeks (with a slight variation around All Star week) beginning on a Weds. For each TP, the scores of only the top seven players on each team (including the manager) counted towards that team’s score for the TP.


WAIVER CLAIMS DRAFT

At the conclusion of each TP, a Waiver Claims Draft was held. Each manager protected seven members of his team (including himself). The rest were unprotected and placed on the unprotected list.

Should a manager not list his unprotected players by 1pm EST on Weds, the player(s) with the worst year-to-date scoring on his team were put on the unprotected list.

The team with the worst season record to date drafted first and so on. There were two rounds of the Waiver Claim Draft. Both rounds were worst to best. Once a player was claimed, he automatically became protected.

Based on the number of total players in the GMD pool, some teams had one more player than the other teams. For the sake of discussion, let's call a team with one less player "a team with the minimum allowed players" (currently 8), and a team with one more will be called "a team with the maximum allowed players" (currently 9).

At the end of the two rounds, if any manager had less than minimum allowed players, he must claim a player from a team with more with than the maximum allowed players. If there were no teams with more than the maximum allowed players, than the manager of the team with less than the minimum must claim a player from any one of the teams with the maximum allowed players. If all teams are meant to have the same number of players (when the player pool is a multiple of 4), a manager with less than that number must claim a player from a team with more than that number.

This system insured that the teams remain balanced.

At a certain point in the season, the managers decided to lock their rosters and the Waiver Claim Draft was ended.

      Tue, Nov 17, 2009, 07:12 		So we have 20 players so far.
And 2 Managers.

What are our options?

A. 2 Teams of 10, No Waiver Pool, drop 2(to say something) lowest scores on each team...

B. 4 Teams of 5, No Waiver Pool, need more Managers then...

C. 3 Teams of 6, 2 in Waiver Pool...

I might not be a fan of C. Since we have few(er) players, everyone should play I think.

Thoughts?
Another construction?
Anyone else interested?

      Dude
      ID: 811161317
      Tue, Nov 17, 2009, 09:40 		I like C particularly if can find another player so everyone has 7 and maybe counting top 5 scores. HOwever, may still need to account for players that might drop out or discontinue playing sometime during the year which would unbalance teams anyway.

When counting top scores, did it work out on a daily basis last year or weekly??

Any thoughts on adjusting waiver period to every 4 weeks instaed of every two?

      Tue, Nov 17, 2009, 18:12 		Alright guys, after consulting Dunk, we've come up with the following:

There will be 3 teams:
1. Team DeeJay
2. Team KI
3. Team Weykool ? => Has to be confirmed to me... Someone else willing to step up, in case...?

Two teams will have 7 players
One will have 8.
If more people sign up the next few, then it might even out.
But no biggie, because the lowest scores will be dropped like last year.

TP's:

TP #1 - 11/25 - 12/8
TP #2 - 12/9 - 12/22
TP #3 - 12/23 - 1/5
TP #4 - 1/6 - 1/19
TP #5 - 1/20 - 2/2
TP #6 - 2/3 - 2/16
TP #7 - 2/17 - 3/2
TP #8 - 3/3 - 3/16
TP #9 - 3/17 - 3/30
TP #10 - 3/31 - 4/14

Draft:

We would like the draft to start on Monday or even Sunday Night. And then next Wednesday(11/25) we should be ready to go.

Waiver Draft:

Every team protects 6 players and the waiver draft lasts until all the players in the unprotected pool are taken.

Draft order will soon be determined.


KI, can you pass me your email ?

I only put it out there because:
1. TSN runs a basic league before and after the all-star game
2. Sometimes the GMD results are clearly defined come February
3. Come February, life takes over for me so my GMD participation drops off significantly :)

Just a thought. A re-shuffle after the break could create new discussion in a board that tends to fade after the break.

      Sat, Nov 21, 2009, 01:18 		For competitin it might be interesting to have new draft in reverse order of finish in the first half. Champs could be crowned for 1st and 2nd period. An overall manager could be season champ.

At all star break wonder if any new players might be interested in the game. Also, as G mentioned we have few that might want to drop out at that time or have given up at that time.

 
85Comic Book Guy
      ID: 20817160
      Sat, Nov 21, 2009, 02:32 		I think G makes a strong argument. We can go 11 weeks from Nov. 25 through the all-star break, probably have a clear leader by that time, then start over for the last 8 weeks.

Welcome.

Teams are getting big, but it will do.

2 teams of 10
1 team of 9

Ill let it open for one more player ,that would make 3 teams of 10, and then I will close the sign ups.

I'll make a Draft Thread, in Leagues and Standings tomorrow.
Monday we start.
