Lucky17's Yahoo! FBB Points League: 2011-12 season: Draft Monday, Oct 24, noon

[Birdman]

Great job Lucky. Like the spreadsheet. TP for doing at great job on this and being the GM of both great and exciting leagues

[hpantazo]

I just crunched the numbers on missed games. The maximum number of games played on the season is 902.

Some observations:

1. There were 6 teams that missed 10% or more of their available games, with one of those teams missing nearly 20%. If these GMs are interested in continuing, am inclined to ask them to name a co-manager before the start of the season, or forfeit their teams (exception: 33-00-32 bada bing, who took over for a dead team midway through the season).

2. On a happier note, 8 teams missed fewer than 10 games total. Gold stars for these GMs.

3. I computed average stats per game for each team, and then added "missed game" stats to each team's total, based on individual averages. This gave me new totals, which I used to create an adjusted order of finish.

I've posted my spreadsheet to google docs, so everyone can view it.

I'm open to discussing this, but it seems like an equitable way to level the playing field viz. "tanking."

This looks good to me, thanks for all the work putting it together. When are we planning on having the draft? I'm looking forward to it!

[Lucky17]

Good question.

Normally, I'd say draft in early September. A lockout would change that, so let's just watch this space for announcements. I'll give everyone plenty of lead time.

[hpantazo]

September or later sounds good to me. I just don't want it to be during august when I am likely to be out of the country.

Bumping the above. Would like everyone to see it, and weigh in if they have serious questions/problems with this.

This has been discussed quite often throughout the season: the above adjustments were based on suggestions made by Gainesville Celtic and others that seemed to meet with near-universal approval.

However, I want to give everyone a chance to review things before I use the adjusted standings to determine draft order.

It is the fairest way to do things.  And I'm not just in support because I move up spots.

Lucky I thought you said I wouldn't be penalized but it appears your spreadsheet is punishing me. I'll do whatever you decide but I will also let you know in future years I won't be the guy missing time so I think the rule is a fair one. Also is the draft order on your spreadsheet set? I thought there was a lottery at some point? Sorry for all the questions/issues, as you know...I'm new

No worries, you're not in my doghouse.

As it turns out, the results of the NBA lottery have no affect on the draft order for our league: worst team has #1 pick, and so on, through the bottom 5.

I will be giving up my team, but don't kill the new GM.


It wasn't tanking.  It was injuries.  (and a rookie that didn't play for a large portion of the season)

[Lucky17]

Holy necroposting, Batman.

Looks like I need to replace at least one GM.

Do you guys want to hold a draft in the coming week or two, or hold off until the labor situation has been resolved? I am open to either.

[hpantazo]

I vote for holding the draft soon. If a labor agreement comes suddenly, we may be in a rush to get a date that's good for everyone, so might as well do it now.

I agree. Plus I need some sort of NBA fix, especially if we loose the season.

[Lucky17]

Wish I'd come to the realization sooner; next week, the new term starts up for me, which means things get exponentially busier for me.

I'll send a mass message out to all GMs, to try to get a time that works for everyone.

[celtsrp33]

I am ready to draft whenever you guys are!  Maybe we will have some good news on the labor agreement soon if DWade can keep his mouth shut 

[hpantazo]

any word on when we might set a draft date?
