Subject: Gurupie Manager Draft (GMD) game Sign-up Thread

  Posted by: allhair allstars - Sustainer [5881656] Mon, Oct 15, 21:20
Finally, the long awaited ground rules for the Gurupie Manager Draft game. Please note that since the number of interested Gurupies is still in question, the quantities mentioned below are very general and will be updated to reflect the final number of teams involved.

== Three divisions (up to 5 if necessary)
== Even and set number of teams per division
== Teams can be from any TSN division
== No team switches (ie., no team manager can switch his/her team during the game)
== All teams entered will be drafted
== After 2 weeks a set number of teams will be dropped into a waiver pool
== Waiver pool teams will be included in all stats and standings
== At two-week intervals division managers can switch one division team with a waiver pool team
== Order of waiver selection will be determined by the current standings in reverse order
== Teams will not be traded between divisions although any team may be selected from the pool

== All teams will start out on the same footing. Teams that get placed in the waiver pool (think AAA baseball standings) will have many opportunities to make one of the divisions. Heck, the waiver pool could just form their own division as far as I’m concerned. But I digress.

== Medium speed live draft (between slow and fast, eh!)
== Snake format

== The division with the highest final scoring average wins

== Dates (assuming divisional managers confirm them):
== Team registration deadline is Monday, October 22.
== Live draft will be held Wednesday, October 24.
== Game on: October 30.
Mark your calendars!!

I’m going to take the liberty of starting yet another team and id request thread. Please post your Gurupie name, your team name, and your team id. I'll consolidate any data from earlier threads but double check my info just in case. Any questions, post ‘em.

Pass me the rock! Or at least a cold GMD!

2000: 850ish
2001: 3500ish

Finished last year with a bunch of trades, I wasn't doing great, and I think buisness travel last spring led to my folding the tents a little early. First and only time I've packed it in early in SW/TSN.

I had 24 trades remaining and easily in my mind could have been top 100 if I had actually sit down and used them.

We need to hold off on setting the draft order until we know how many managers are going to be involved. And I still haven't officially accepted a managerial role... the standings are usually more than enough to kill my teams.

Played in 1999, did worse, though, as I found the boards midway through the season. Did much better in baseball. 2000FS finished 27WWR and 2000MS finished 7WWR (200 and 100, respectively, in FS and MS this year), but this isn't baseball, is it?

Also, I've been working on my dodgeball accuracy, so maybe, if it's a close race, I could take out some opposing manager?

not in a division yet but can place this team were ever if I get drafted.

last year I finished in the high 100's in FS and at 102 in MS. I have learned alot about trade conservation and the value of trades and used that to finish at wwr 24 in baseball.

Go ahead and place your team wherever you want. There are no TSN divisions for this game. I suppose we could create one if necessary, but your team would do just as well in a Rotoguru.com div or any other for that matter.

Everyone,
Remember, there are no team switches once the game starts...

By the way, by my count, we have approx 30 teams signed up (either in this thread or others). Another handful had expressed interest but have not posted team ids. The more the merrier! If we can manage to double the team total we're in great shape.

Remember, you don't have to be a double-digit ranked team to play. Everyone gets drafted. That's my pitch. :)

When entering the TSN site rightclick on the team you wish to enter into this division. Choose 'Copy shortcut'.
Open some sort of text editor and paste the shortcut there.

I think it would be fun to hold in the baskteball standings thread (with or without commentary) so gurupies can see who was picked and in what order.

I also like the idea of publicising the draft to let people see who was picked and what order. Could be fun, and even nerv racking, if not everyone was chosen, but that's not the case :)

      Fri, Oct 19, 15:27 		I'm envisioning a live draft on the board, but it's not all up to me. Ideally I think we would have 60 teams involved. That would either give us 3 teams of 15 (with a pool of 15) or 4 teams of 12 with a (pool of 12)(my preference). We'll see who else signs up...

Originally BW and I thought that this coming Wed would be a good day for the draft, but no dates are set in stone. As it turns out (ok, I forgot), I'll be busy this Wed night hanging out with a couple Gurupie buds of mine, so Wednesday isn't such a good night...

I've played hoops for three years now and though I don't really keep track of my final ranking I seem to usually end up with about a 1000 WWR. I'd like to say that I'll improve this year but I don't have much free time these days. Well that should be sufficient to seal my fate as the last team picked. Thanks for letting me play though.

I'm out for Wednesday night. Can we change to draft to Thurdsay eve? And try to set a time? Say 10pm? or something convenient to everyone? I also propose that the sign-ups be kept open until the draft. Thoughts...

By my count we have 43+ teams playing... Can we get to 50?

      Sun, Oct 21, 10:48 		At this point, Thursday is fine. But it would depend on if the sadsack Mariners can force a game 7 (highly unlikely) against the gritty, veteran Yankees. They would play at 8pm on Thurs in this most unlikeliest of unlikely scenarios.

I'm also against waiver wires, free agents, and etc. Dropouts are just part of the game.

01: 251 & 404 WWR - SW Fullseason
01: 2 & 19 WWR - SW Midseason

I seem to finish better than I start. That may be the reason I rank higher in the MS games.

PRIDE - I'm just glad he didn't start Nedny over Hall. I'll either have a 2 game lead or it'll be one tight race after this weekend. Out of 5 Sandbox teams, this is the only one doing great. I've got one team 1-5 in the 14 team keeper league.

I haven't kept exact track of my Hoops records, but they go a little something like this.

'00-'01: mid 100's
'99-'00: 3000+
'98-'99: 5000+
'97-'98: who knows

Oh yeah, and I run the games too, that must count for something. ;)

Gurupies with a single asterisk (*) by their name submitted a team in an earlier thread. Gurupies with double asterisks (**) expressed interest at one point but have not submitted team IDs.

This is the final push. Your team needs to be entered ASAP. If you're interested and will stick with your team all year, feel free to enter the competition...

WAB's been sighted very recently but doesn't (IIRC) play SW anymore. Pun has also phased out of SW (if not fantasy sports). Don't know where Mr. Yellowbock is, although I'm surprised he's not around. J is a scrub. The Source? I thought he was still hanging around the Politics Forum. Not sure, but there's lots for him to discuss if he is there... Israelian Guru has been silent as far as I know. It's possible Guru would know? He was in RotoGuru's Own last year.

So if I have this right...you will use our teams like a fantasy player, correct? Sorry I have been so busy that I've barely had time to make trades in football.
