do join us again! this game is a bit different so if you do poorly one week, there is always hope for the next week. And I think the rules are fairly set so there shouldn't be the haggling that some people seemed to torture us with in the old days. |
As a former haggler, I plead guilty.
We’d love to have you on board! Even if you just take all your players from the MAAC!

Just to get an idea, what stats do you go by? Is it purely offensive stats? Or do you take into account rebounds, blocks, steals, etc.?

The statistical categories are: Points, Rebounds, Field Goal Percentage, FT Percentage, Assists, Turnovers, Blocks, Steals, and Three Pointers Made. So, a number of categories you could focus on to get a win!

and 3%.
Be sure to get someone who gets lots of TOs [giggle].
Ok, to be clear, that's a negative category. We used to do fouls too as a negative but decided that since fouling can be used strategically, especially at the end of games, it got removed from our game.

What is the exact draft order? Do we want to do in order of when people joined or random? I'm ready to start if I am picking first. It does not matter to me.

I think I am going to give until the end of the day Friday to join before we start drafting. I will enlist a randomizer in GEF to provide the draft order and we’ll start a rolling draft unless anyone has any objections.

I'm reading that head-to-head rules change thing and it is way too much for me. Thanks, but no thanks.

I will the final list for who is participating and I can send Coyote the list so they can post it, or if they don't mind I can post it early Saturday, assuming Friday at 11:59pm is the cut off.

two minor clarifications:
The wording is bit vague on this: can a TF be 6'2" or does she have to be 6'2-1/2" or over. I think we used 6'2" before.
And if a player is listed as a G/F and is 6'2" can she also be a TF? My inclination would be to say no, but I think we should make it clear in the rules.
you da boss, so whatever you say goes.
I absolutely don't have enough time to do my usual thorough research. I won't be surprised if I draft someone who isn't even playing this year. In my initial poke around, there are a hellava lot of 5th year seniors or grad students on teams. Good for them getting the extra year of education and play!

Keep simple
TF start at 6-2 (no 6-2 + half)
TF/GF if player GF and 6-2 should be able play both
didn’t we make TF because not enough straight C in league
Or NCAAW WBB
I think good idea so let’s continue to roll with it

yes, we made the TF designation because quite a few F's were actually playing the center position and very few were labelled C. My thought on GF is that even if they are tall, they are unlikely to be playing the center position. But I will go with whatever y'all decide.

I would say the TF position should start at 6'2'' -- case in point is Naz Hillmon, one of the most productive true posts in WCBB who definitely plays the 5 but is only listed as 6'2''.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the spirit of TF "position" is someone who plays the 5. But since many players who spend a majority of time at the 5 are listed simply as F (rather than F/C or just C), y'all said a 6'2'' F could count for our game. A player listed as G/F will not be primarily playing the 5. For that reason, my gut reaction is that someone listed as G/F should be ineligible to play "TF" for our purposes.
An interesting potential counterexample is Maryland. Their tallish (at least 6'2'') players include:
Mimi Collins 6'3'' F
Emma Chardon 6'2'' F
Chloe Bibby 6'3'' G/F
Angel Reese 6'3'' G/F
Shyanne Sellers 6'2'' G
Diamond Miller 6'3'' G
Now we can all agree that Collins (who is their actual starting 5) and Chardon should qualify as TF. And we can all agree that Sellers and Miller do not qualify, even though they meet the height requirement. So what to do with Bibby and Reese?
Well, Bibby started at the 4 last year and mostly plays on the perimeter due to her 3 point shot. BUT, when Collins came out of the game, either Bibby or Reese would usually slide over to the 5. Granted, Maryland's 5 doesn't function like a true C because they relied a lot on fast break points and a 5-out, "positionless" type offense. But defensively at least, they would guard the other team's 5. So I can see us going either way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Despite this counterexample, my personal opinion is that a >6'2'' player listed as G/F should not count as a TF for us. (In short, I agree with myrtle.) But I'll be happy either way.

Oh I thought we were just use height to identify who “could” play C position not who has played the position but were not labeled C
Which means I don’t know… I still think anyone 6-2 or taller should be eligible for TF (C ) designation…
So if this is case, only F 6-2 and up can play TF position?

I'll codify the rulings as follows barring any objections to make it simple.
1. A TF must be 6'2'' or taller. She must be listed as one of F/C/P on the roster. A player who is listed as a F and over 6'2'' can play either F, U, or TF.
2. A G/F or G over 6'2'' does not qualify as a true forward.
My thoughts are as follows -- a G/F already has a great deal of flexibility in which position they can play. It doesn't seem quite right that they'd be able to play TF/C as well for our purposes.
I am going to propose for the rolling draft, that if someone doesn't make a pick within 48 hours, we will move on to the next player -- and they can make their pick when they return. If anyone has any objections, let it be known. If people want to PM me their e-mail, I'm happy to try and send e-mail reminders when a pick comes up. I will expressly use this e-mail for league purposes only. If you know that you're going to be away from Rebkells for a few days, you are more than welcome to send me a PM with instructions on who to pick on your behalf along with backup options in a list order. I will do my best to follow those instructions and steal players from my own wishlist.
@GEF -- I am okay with you posting the draft order on Saturday morning as soon as you have it. I will be out that morning at coffee with a friend, but will post reminders as soon as I get back. I
For our current roster we have:
1. Adamj
2. OKStateGuy
3. UCBart

5. Tally
6. Hoopmom
7. Coyotes
8. Cooper2009

12. I'm really hoping that Matt comes back for another season or someone else (Calbearman?!?!) jumps in. I haven't heard from him.
I'm going to start making templates for schedules and saving them below. This is a proposed 12 Week Schedule as a starting point -- You can all ignore this, I'm mainly doing this as a starting point as a I figure out the best way to schedule this. My thought is that there might be six weeks where players play two games, and we use the extra five weeks to finish a double round robin season so you play each player twice. Now, that number could change depending on whether we get a twelfth or not.

yeah, for instance I saw an article that Micaela Kelly (CMU) was back, and I got excited since she was a studette for me....but she's not back. It's all crazy.
One thing to mention is that since it's a "friendly" game (sort of), if someone drafts a player that you know is not with a team, or is injured and out for the year, it's good sportsmanship to speak up so that fantasizer can make a different pick. It's especially important for the first 4 or 5 picks since that will be the core of our team.
I've already decided on my first three picks, so NOBODY BETTER TAKE THEM! Sometimes I find players that I think nobody will take, and right away someone (usually Coyote) snatches her right out from under my nose. grrrrrr.

Ma'am, for a jeopardy maven, this is a piece of cake! Simple version: Each week you have one opponent. You pick 8 players from your roster to play that week and your opponent picks 8 players from his/her roster to play that week. Each of your 8 players only plays one game that week that counts. There are 10 categories in which your players can excel. If your players win at least 6 categories, then you win the matchup. The next week you start over with a new opponent. In the end, the fantasizer with the most wins, wins. wahoo.
c'mon down and join our craziness! Or send Happie!

I would just like to clarify, on some posts it says TF is over 6’2”. But other posts it says 6’2” or over. I think starting 6’2” or over is correct???

yes. coyote has agreed to 6'2" or over. I think he will put it in the official rules when he gets time.

What's it going to take for us to lure that elusive 12th player?
In any case, I'm curious to see who will be drafted starting tomorrow!

Given that games start in about 2 weeks, do we really want to give people 48 hours to make a choice? Should we say 24 hours? If you’re going to be away, send somebody - administrator or whatever - your next few choices and they can make your pick for you or you can make it when you return to the site.
