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.

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.

Treasurer will announce payouts and non-participants.

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 have started the draft. Please check to make sure I have entered your keepers and draft picks in Draft Time correctly, and notify me ASAP to minimize the impact. Easiest way to do that is to look at all picks and sort on manager.

You may make your picks and load queues now. There is no clock until Monday morning, but proper etiquette is to pick within four hours of when it becomes your turn. There will be a few that don't adhere to the norms for whatever reason, please be patient.

I'll be double checking the entries of players in Yahoo, so in a few hours you should be able to use the Yahoo players list to help you decide who to draft. I'll try to enter players in Yahoo as they are drafted in Draft Time. That should keep the Yahoo players list a useful (but not perfect) tool for you throughout the draft.

Good Luck

Hoping Fred at Draft Time can reset the draft and allow me to swap keepers. If not, I can remove Butler from the draft and if someone wants to draft Brook Lopez, they'll need to let me know. Meanwhile, we are all at a stand still, while I wait to hear from Fred.

I believe I should still have my 4th rounder this year and WeekendOver should have my 5.18 pick this year.

I traded my 2023 fourth rounder, not this year's.

2 trades:

Lowry
2022 5th rounder (18th pick)

Weekend Over gives:

2022 3rd rounder


and

WWCBD gives:

Rudy Gobert
2023 4th Round Pick

SANFORDORS gives:

Gary Trent Jr.
2023 1st Round Pick

So the things I meant to bring up and didn't have time from last year were... a second IL slot and the demerits.
So I suppose they could be for next year if people feel strongly. But I think the demerits could be immediate at least.

In G20 baseball if you finish in the $$$ demerits aren't applied so that seems fair.
Do we have that rule here? I also feel like something being Top 5 in moves made should make you exempt. Cause you are obviously trying.

And a second IL slot... currently we have one IL and it can be used for anything? maybe just making it keeper specific but having more of them would solve it.

and to your point Bean, I know we don't want to monitor who is in the IL slots... we just have a gentlemen's agreement in baseball, and everyone just keeps an eye out and self-reports. I don't think a formal review of the slots need to be conducted. Hasn't been an issue yet.

Or we just keep it wide open IL for whatever player you want... but I think even in that several noted maybe we need a second slot with the way injuries have gone lately (and illness).

From the Treasurer:
(also sent via email to all managers via Yahoo)

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, 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.

Three managers have opted out: Perm Dude, BB the Ball, and ArtofMonk.

Eight managers have sufficient funds on account to cover the dues for 2022:
Bean, RSF, GO, Tosh, Meatwad, WWCBD, WG, and Skinneej.

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 any of the following ways:
1. Paypal: please send to davehall@rotoguru.net. (note: this is not my usual email address.) 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:
http://rotoguru2.com/gurupatron-info.html
3. I can also accept payment via Venmo. If this is your preference, let me know

I am fine with adding a second IL lot.

While I understand PD's concern in [95], we have had a number of teams with multiple players on IL, making it difficult to achieve GP targets. I don't think adding one extra IL slot weakens the pool that substantially.

<84> artofmonk: I agree. Having gone from the top to the bottom back to the top, it's a slow process (frankly I enjoyed it, but I may be demented, and flat-out lucky to hit on Giannis.). I think the only way to get around it would be to drastically reduce keepers. 4...3...??? 3 might be too drastic. Someone shouldn't be penalized because they dig up nuggets. Maybe also have a "young keeper" where they are 3rd year or less? Dunno. Spit balling. I know we've tossed this stuff out there before.

As for 2nd IL. I'm no. Way too thin a FA market as is. Takes the fun of mining for scrubs, if the scrubs are already taken.

Tree - see post 81 regarding the prize pool in this league. It works similarly to the one in G20 Baseball.

As new league member, you have two options for this season:
1) Pay $15 and join the pool this year, or
2) Skip this year, and defer your option to join the pool until next year.

Heads up,

WG let me know that I did the waiver priority wrong. I put them in exactly the reverse order that I should have.

Its fixed now, but Tosh won Okoro through waivers. If you also bid for Okoro, let me know, and I will see if you would have won the bid and fix it. You'll need to let me know who you would drop. You have two days. Meanwhile, I am leaving Okoro on his roster.

Sorry bout this.

Update,

WG told me that the Waiver Offers tab under Recent Transactions would have had an entry if the claim on Okoro had been challenged. I looked at one of my baseball teams, and it seems to work as he describes.

There was no entry in G20 Hoops Waiver Offers. Therefore, it would seem that Tosh's waiver claim was unchallenged.

I'm thinking we need to get WG to commish next year.

I wonder if dropping from 1st to 19th place in one day is a record free-fall?

Admittedly, my first place standing after the first day was solely due to having more GP that day than anyone else.

Still, it was fun to be on top of the standings for a day - even though I'll never be there again all season.
