Constitution
I Site / Stat Source / League Fees
All game, roster and scoring rules will be governed by Yahoo. There is no fee for using Yahoo.
II Draft
The Supplemental Draft consists of a slow draft and held on the Draftime.com website. Time limits will be three hours for individual picks and 8 hours cumulative clock. You may draft until your picks run out or you have reached twelve (12) players. The clock will be stopped from midnight to 8 AM ET but picks may be made during that time. If you time out, you will be skipped and may select at any time. If you have been skipped and have not made up that pick and it becomes your turn again, you will be skipped for that pick as well. If you leave a Q and that person is available to post your pick, you will not be charged any time on your cumulative clock.
The draft order will be reverse of last year's regular season finish and it will NOT snake. Only players currently in the NBA database are eligible to be drafted. Waivers Priority will begin in the same order as the basic draft order (lottery excluded). Please note: The bottom 14 teams will be in the lottery similar to the actual NBA draft. Top three picks for next year will be selected via lottery. 4th-14th picks will be selected based on inverse order of standings.
III League Settings:
Draft Type: Offline Draft and E-mail draft
Max Teams: 20
Scoring Type: Rotisserie
Max Moves: No maximum
Max Trades: No maximum
Trade Review: League Votes (7 needed to veto)
Post Draft Players: Follow Waiver Rules
Max Games Played: 720 (enforced by position)
Roster Positions: G, G, F, F, C, Util, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN, IL
Stat Categories: FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, OREB, REB, AST, ST, BLK
IV Minimum Games Played / Penalties
A team must accumulate a minimum of 656 GP (82 GP/pos) over the course of a season. For each 8 games of shortfall (1 GP/pos), a team is assigned one demerit. Demerits will be integer values only. Thus, a team with 1-8 games of shortfall will receive one demerit, 9-16 will receive 2 demerits, etc.
If a team finishes in the money for prize pool purposes (ranked 1-6), then demerits will be ignored.
For lottery teams, the following penalties will be applied to every pick in the next year's supplement draft:
If a team accumulates more than 10 demerits, then it will be removed from the lottery and assigned the 14th pick in all rounds (i.e., behind all lottery teams, but ahead of any prize pool teams.)
For teams with less than 10 demerits, that team is pushed forward one place in the supplemental draft rankings for each demerit. For example, if a team finishes in last place (20th) and has 5 demerits, then that team will be treated in the draft rankings as though it finished in 15th place (and the teams actually finishing in places 16-20 will each move down one place.)
If more than one lottery team has a demerit, then the lottery rankings will be successively applied starting with the worst finisher and then moving up to the next worst finisher, etc.
Note: While the maximum number of games is measured on a GP/pos (enforced by the ESPN site), the minimum number of games is NOT. For minimum games, all measurements are based on total games played without regard for position.
V Trades
All trades during the season must be submitted via the website's offer trade feature to the league for review. If there is a draft pick it needs to be posted in our thread at rotoguru.com and needs to be confirmed by both parties. You might want to rationalize your trade as it takes just 7 members to reject the trade. You have one day to reject it so please check the site at LEAST once per day (many will have the email feature that emails all accepted trades). Remember with a Keeper league there may be draft picks involved so take the time to check those before rejecting it. Please only reject a trade based on the trade and not the teams involved. A trade by its very nature should help both teams either now, the future or both. All off-season/preseason trades will be governed by a commish.
VI Keepers
Returning owners will have a deadline to declare what players from their team they wish to keep. Each owner may keep up to 6.
You may keep less than six. You may trade keepers after you have declared, but you may not go over six until all 20 teams have officially declared at the Keeper deadline. At that point you may go up to 12 players.
If you keep less than six, the only way you can add a sixth keeper is via trade. You may not drop a player until after the draft is complete.
If you do not name your Keepers by the deadline, the commish(s) will choose those for you and they will be final. If you post your Keepers after the deadline but before the commish posts, your Keepers will be honored. Typically, the commish(s) will start figuring out uncommitted Keepers as soon as the deadline has passed.
All un-kept players will go into the draft. A player MUST be in the NBA database in order to be kept.
The only off-season transactions that will be allowed are trades. No free agents may be picked up after the end of the season. Trades of a player for a draft pick are allowed.
VII Prizes
A fine plaque will be engraved and shipped to the winner courtesy of the previous year's winner. The trophy will be yours to proudly display with your other cherished mementos for 1 year. It will be the winner's responsibility to engrave it and ship it to the winner. There will be an added nominal fee to help cover expenses related to the engraving and shipping of the plaque.
A separate cash prize pool has also been established. It is strictly voluntary. Only those who participate will be eligible for this prize. $15 USD entry must be paid by the season opener. The exact method of prize distribution will vary from year to year depending on participation. We focus payouts so it will NOT be winner take all. Six owners will have a chance to win something. Prize pool funds are due by Opening Night.
Subject to change, 2021-2022 Payout has six managers paid:
1st $90
2nd $50
3rd $40
4th $25
5th $20
6th $15
Total Payouts is 16 X $15 = $ 240 ($0 to trophy fund and for Draftime costs this year)
Ineligible for prize pool:
PD, BB the Ball, artofmonk (1st year), PhillyButsters (1st year)
If any of the non-participants qualify, the prizes will be reallocated by the commissioners. Managers will move up payout position(s) and any remaining funds will go into the trophy fund.
VIII Owners
As commissioners, we reserve the right NOT to extend an invitation to or remove any owner for any reason. Primary reason for being excluded would be abusive behavior (beyond friendly trash talk, harassment), purposeful rules violations (i.e. colluding on a trade), inactivity (i.e. leaving injured players in as starters repeatedly), unresponsive to other owners or commish(s), missing deadlines (i.e. keepers, draft picks, etc.). If an owner is NOT invited back next year. A new owner will be recruited to take over the vacated team in its exact state.

I renewed the Yahoo League for this year, will try to set up Draft Time soon too. I need last year's owners to let me know if they are returning. Please do not assume that if you are in Yahoo I know your plan....SOUND OFF HERE.
We have three sophomore owners that need to let us know if they plan to play for cash as well.

Hey everyone! WG and I are in 30-team contract dynasty head-to-head points league that has two openings. It’s a very fun, active and intense league. The Commish is great too which is important for any keeper / dynasty league. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can get you in contact with the Commish.

chiming in real quick as a non player in G20 - I legit haven't played fantasy basketball in a half dozen years or more.
But the overwhelmingly positive experience I am having with the commissioner of this league in the Dynasty Football league he runs compelled me to grab a team in the hoops league Pete is talking about.
Couldn't recommend this league enough.

Though I would still like Meatwads to chime in himself. It appears, everyone is returning this year.
I have started a Keeper thread. Post your keepers there. Do not post anything extraneous there like trade offers or questions. I don't want to weed through the clutter.
I recommend you post something early and update it later if you need to. That way your procrastination, absent-mindedness and/or technical difficulties does not result in zero keepers for you.
As a reminder, here is the schedule:
FRI 8 OCT, 11:59 PM EDT - Keeper Deadline
SUN 10 OCT - Draft Turned ON
MON 11 OCT, 11:59 PM EDT - Draft Clock ON

If anyone has interest in Horford or TJ McConnell, they didn't make my keeper cut, and would give them for a pick upgrade. Both will likely go in the first round.
Will also consider my two for your one type trades to upgrade my keepers (which you can see in the keeper thread).
Don't think any of my others are keeper worthy, but you can be the judge....check the roster at Yahoo.

From the Treasurer:
Prize pool dues for the coming season are $15. There is no assessment for a trophy fund again this year, as that continues to be amply funded.
As background for the new managers, we have an optional prize pool. All participating managers contribute $15 at the start of the season, and the pool is distributed at the end to the top six finishers. The actual award amounts are subject to the total amount in the pool, but generally range from about $90-$100 to the winner down to $15 for the #6 team.
New managers do not need to opt into the pool in their first year. But by the second year, they must decide to be in or out. Once you opt in, you must remain in the pool each year to continue in the pool. If you should ever opt out after the first year, then you can never opt back in.
Two managers have opted out: Perm Dude and BB the Ball.
Last year’s new managers must opt in or out this year. Philly Busters has already announced he is in. Still awaiting a decision from Artofmonk.
Five managers have suficient funds on account to cover the dues for 2021:
Bean, RSF, GO, KnicksFan, and Skinneej. Also, as of this moment, it looks like Tosh will win $15 in G20 baseball, which can be applied to Hoops dues.
Two managers have some funds on deposit, but less than the full $15:
Dave R owes $10, and Meatwads owes $10.
Everyone else owes $15, according to my records. If you think I have missed any funds on account for you, please let me know.
Payments can be sent in either of the following ways:
1. Paypal: please send to davehall@rotoguru2.com. (Recipient will probably appear as Uncommon Cents LLC.) Designate this as “send money to friends and family”, and mark the payment only as "G20 hoops". Do not say "prize" or "pool". Those words are red flags for Paypal.
2. Snail mail: check can be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page:

I believe I had two trades involving picks last year:
Kemba Walker trade included me sending my 2021 1 for SANFORDOR’s 2021 6.
Mike Conley trade included me sending my 2021 2 for BB’s 2021 6.
WG also had 2 I believe:
Enes Kanter trade included WG sending his 2021 2 for Tosh’s 2021 6.
Thad Young traded included WG sending his 2021 3 for Tosh’s 2021 5.

As I am now SHORT on keepers in one shot... lol... feel free to email any players you would do for my 3rd rounder.
Similarly will move Ben Simmons for 2 keeper players. Simmons in a rebounding league pretty valuable at the G position but my personal bias about what he's doing to the Sixers is going to play into it. I suspect he is heading to some rebuilding west coast team where he will rack up his triple doubles in obscurity.
Don't particularly want 2 Hawks either so could crack open the door on John Collins.

I've turned on the draft with no clock until the nightly pause Monday night/Tuesday Morning.
Please check your keepers and picks, and let me know ASAP if there is an issue. Make a pick if its your turn or load your queues.
Though there is no penalty, and you wont be skipped, "no clock etiquette" is to make your pick as if there were a 4 hour clock. Keep in mind that it will take some awhile to come up to speed, so patience is the operative word this weekend.

Your keepers have been loaded into Yahoo now. You can check my work by looking at draft results. Let me know if there is an issue.
If I haven't made a mistake, the players tab reflects ONLY available players. This should provide you a nice draft tool.
I plan to load drafted players at least once a day during the draft. That should sustain the usefulness of the players tab for making draft selections. Keep in mind, I may make a mistake loading drafted players. Checking Yahoo's Draft results periodically, and letting me know if there is an issue, will minimize the effect of my mistakes
Good Luck

Thanks, did not realize there was an additional step.
1) From the Draft Time Home Page click "Pre-Rank Players on the top right
2) From your specific Draft click "General Queue"
3) Just above "Add a Player" click "Import Pre-ranked Players"
4) Click "Import Pre-ranked Players" again
5) Click "Return to General Queue Management"
6) Tweak your General Queue as you see fit now.

And you can all thank me for that :)... years ago telling KKB it was a tedious process to add them manually and had to be a solution. He was worried about having to pay or whatever if he just took the list from ESPN or Rotowire or something. I told him just make his own list, or aggregate like 3 different sites ADP #s or something. Nobody cares the exact order of the list... we just want the names in so we can easily shuffle them around.

Can you guys do a trade at Yahoo for me so that next year all pick trades are in Yahoo? I want it to show as a trade, not a commish move (not even sure I can swap next year picks as commish).
You can start it out as if trading for a player in your opponent's team then uncheck the player, while checking off picks in the resultant page I think.

Dear JB Bickerstaff,
Please take note that when Jarrett Allen has a double-double, the Cavs are 6-0. Conversely, when Jarrett Allen does not have a double-double, the Cavs record is 0-4. Please put out your best effort to ensure Jarrett earns a double-double...not in the Westbrookian-Self-Serving-3d effort, but within the winning methods as illustrated above.
Thank you,

I wonder what percentage of the NBA players are actually vaccinated vs. other sports. I also wonder if the nature of no helmets, close contact leads to more transfer of the virus or if that's even a factor. Like baseball they can stay pretty far from each other for the most part. AND everyone is touching the ball... unlike in say football, none of the lineman touch it, just the dude in front of them for the most part.

I read something from John Hollinger yesterday that the NBA is 97% vaxxed. In the ever mutating virus world, who knows what that even means now. 1 shot? 2 shots? Booster?
Only thing I know is that we are getting deep in the woods on guys getting 20+ minutes a game. I mean, Hassani Gravett? Who-the-whatsit? I don't know who that dude is, but he may be winning the best hair & beard combo in the NBA.

Yeah that is pretty bad when Hassani Gravett is being considered for a pickup. Of all the guys that have come out of my alma mater at South Carolina, he is one of those I cringed when he was in the games. Terrible shooter and terrible decision maker under pressure. I just saw he was a career 38% shooter in college which is higher than I thought. He was at least 33% from 3 but that’s not great these days, and he was a below average FT shooter also. Just a bum that I’m glad graduated finally!
I’m glad to get Derozan and Booker back, but had 5 guys out on protocols a few days ago. I’m know that each player is likely to be out at least once this year, so hoping they can stagger them for me and not have so many out at once.

It's definitely interesting trying to guess which no name that pops might have some sustainability to merit a pickup... but with the sheer amount of injuries/covid scratches, I'm finding it tough to cut most of my guys to take a shot on those no names. Maybe incorrect but I feel like most of them are too good to drop... I'm sure other teams feel the same way about their players. Even one more IL slot would probably go a long way for us all. Something to think about for the future, maybe, but in G20 Baseball we changed the settings to something like allowing any keeper to be IR'd; we could explore something similar here for our 6 keepers? Or simply add another IL slot or two at some point??

Oh, this is awesome. Just looked at my roster for today. 13 players (12 + IL). 6 listed as INJ, 2 listed as GTD and 1 listed as O. 4 healthy dudes. Thats just funny. Cruel funny, but funny.
I agree with skinneej. I think I've had the most fun when my team was bad and I was churning through players, looking for diamonds in the rough, or useful parts I could deal away.
Also agree with WG. I like my dudes more than I like the gamble of part timers. Even a dude like Jordan Nwora was a guy I had my eye on (no...not because he's a Buck...maybe not...) since his blowup game at the end of last season. I'm sure I'll cycle through dudes, but it's tough, if looking at "long term potential" for some of them. I'm taking tryouts for my 6th keeper...

Frankly it's not as 1 sided as you might think. Siakim is better but not significantly. His advantage is huge minutes per game, which allows him to score more, but go stat for stat and there isn't a huge difference in the guys, outside name recognition. Siakim does kill him in assists, but shake your head and they are soclose otherwise. Portis gets hosed by Bud's small minutes plans, that and PF issues.
Do I make this trade? Ehhh....

To WG's email... trade deadline tomorrow.
I'd still move some Ben Simmons for a keeper caliber player. Of course the price has gone up a bit since he was stuck in Philly... but considering I'm a Sixer fan and the hate the guy, maybe we can get it done... :)

I'd move Kevin Porter (21yr) for an older PG with better 3s and percentages. Can throw in Chris Boucher (ranked 106 on the year thanks to our double rebound categories).

On a night where I have 4 double doubles, another with 29-9-9 and the last guy drops an interesting 7-5-4 with 4 steals...all that and I moved up...1 point. Sigh...
Thats way too many ellipses.

Looking at G League stuff this morning.
The OKC G-Leaguers should make a move for these guys:
Sharife Cooper
or
Diashen Nix
I know G League stats don't translate directly, but those are some serious young ballers.

Thanks everyone! It’s been a challenging few months and last year even that at times was hard to keep up with how my team was doing every day. Maybe that’s why the results were so good - I would set my roster for a few days at a time and then check back after and didn’t tinker as much the second half. With working long hours for months on end and being sick a few weeks back, I was glad to have had enough of a cushion at the end to survive for my first title in either G24 Football or G20 Hoops.
Being an original member in both Gurupie leagues that started 20 years ago now, I certainly thought I would have won a title before this year. But I’ve managed to only make the super bowl twice in G24 Football and lost both times. After finishing 2nd in year 3 of G20 hoops (2004) I wouldn’t finish as high as 3rd again until two years ago (2019). I think I had a few 4-6 place finishes here and there along the way, but mostly have been middle of the pack trying to stay competitive most years. Just shows you how hard it is to win in these leagues, and all the managers that have dominated for years that I was jealous of the rosters they had built.
As every champ says, I’d love to run it back next year, but I know it will be difficult. I’ll do my best as inevitable injuries and team roster changes will naturally happen, but hope to be in competition late into the season again!

Hard to accept getting demerits when your team finishes in the top half of the league and top 5 in moves made.
Sounds like an inadequate system.

GO, Two draft positions too much for you to deal with?
Lots of whining about too many guys on IL culminating with <124>. Not sure what exactly stopped you from getting to Min GP, but others who were in dire straights managed to get there.
I definitely don't want to remove the demerit system. Without it, you get sandbagging through ignoring your team. Consider R-Money this year.
Tanking is still considered cheating in the real NFL and the real NBA in case nobody remembers. It's just hard to enforce and prove. Here at Rotoguru, the notion that tanking is not cheating, but a valid strategy is prevalent in keeper leagues of all sports.
Remove the guardrails we have in place, and you will have this kind of cheating, even if unintentional. You see it in every Rotoguru born league where roster rule mechanics don't restrict it somehow.
If we aren't going to have real parity, then lets quit pretending. We'd be better off with a random draft order with snaking rounds, rather than rewarding blatant cheating.
I am off my soap box now. Maybe we should consider another IL slot or another BN?

Correct, I shouldn't be docked anything when I clearly made plenty of effort to participate. If we could somehow find a time spent staring at the Yahoo screen, I'd probably win that too.
And yes, one IL was certainly insufficient as I had it clogged with Ben Simmons all year. And then people would get CoVID and be out for 10 days or more as we saw in the posts above. 2 should be enough, i suspect we'll get there next year.. only used for keepers?... and COVID should hopefully be more and more in the rearview although I suspect it will spike each winter - and this is a winter sport afterall.

Well, the rule is the rule. Everyone knew the rule ahead of time, and everyone had the same constraints applied. You'll not get my sympathy, if that's what you're looking for.
Definitely not in favor of ANY self policed rules because inevitably someone will rat on a violator and the commish will have to deal with it. However, I will also not be burdened to enforce a rule that requires daily review of people's rosters. You guys vote a "keeper only" rule in, and I won't be your commish, plain and simple....someone else will need to step up.
GO, I think people have already moved on to baseball and may not be checking this thread anymore. If you want to suggest a rule change, make a point to do so during roll call next season. I am certain you'll get support, just not sure how much.
