NBA KEEPER LEAGUE RULES/SETTINGS:

Spoiler: NBA KEEPER LEAGUE RULES/SETTINGS

FANTASY NBA LEAGUE RULES

A. Teams can select a maximum of THREE keepers of any position.

B. Teams can choose to keep between ZERO and THREE keepers.

C. All keepers must be turned in by August 31st. The league year ends on August 31st, new league year begins September 1st.

D. Teams will lose a lottery ball in the forthcoming draft for each keeper they retain.

(Example: If a team keeps 2 players, they will have 1 lottery ball in the next draft.)

E. Draft picks can be traded at any point during the season, off-season, and during the draft. The only stipulation is the amount of draft picks on each side of the trade must balance. If the trade happens DURING the fantasy regular season, at least 1 player must be included on each side of the trade to complete the transaction.

(Example: Team A trades Chris Paul and a 5th Round Pick to Team B for J.R. Smith and a 1st Round Pick. This is a legal and draft pick balanced trade.)

F. Keepers can be kept for any duration. There is no year limit on the length that a keeper can be kept.

G. After the Fantasy Championship matchup has ended, the trade deadline period will be lifted. Trading can again commence. Managers must post in the Fantasy Basketball thread any trade and both managers involved in the trade must confirm the trade is true before it is validated.

H. During the draft, a manager has a set time limit in order to complete a draft pick. The time starts immediately following the previous selection OR the previous manager hitting their time limit. If the previous manager makes an invalid selection, the next manager is on the clock regardless of the pick not being valid. The time limit is subject to change if we are starting to run behind on time to complete the draft.

I. The winner of the Consolation playoff bracket will be awarded the prize of an extra Lottery Ball in the next draft. This is an EXTRA lottery ball that is not associated with your keepers. As a result of this prize being an additional pick, you will automatically lose whatever your last draft pick in the draft would have been after the final keeper deadline has passed. The pick that is lost can not be a draft pick you acquired from another team, it has to be yours. This prize lottery ball is tradeable.

J. If a lottery ball is traded, unless designated specifically in the trade, the ball that is traded is always the ball labeled with the lowest number that is owned by the trader. This is important because of section K.

(Example: Krankor trades a lottery ball to Steak. Krankor had three lottery balls to begin with. The ball that Steak recieves is labeled Krankor's Lottery Ball #3.)

K. The lottery ball numbers will be labeled the following way. The Consolation Prize Lottery Ball will be labeled Lottery Ball #1. All other Lottery Balls will be in order alphabetically by manager's name. If a lottery ball is traded to another manager, it will still be in it's original spot based alphabetically, it will just have a different owner.

L. When forefiting lottery balls for a keeper the following order of forefiture of lottery balls will be used... Team Owned Lottery Ball #3, Team Owned Lottery Ball #2, Team Owned Lottery Ball #1, Oldest Trade Acquired Lottery Ball, Newest Trade Acquired Lottery Ball, and finally Team Owned Consolation Prize Lottery Ball.

M. New managers have two scenarios to start their team. New managers are placed in order of first to express interest get first shot at potential exiting teams available as outlined in option B. If a new manager joins the league after the keeper deadline, Option A will be the only option available to them to form a new team.

Option A: New managers can start fresh with a brand new team with no keepers. The managers will be entered in the draft lottery to determine pick seeding. They will be seeded before the team with the worst regular season record. This option is typically reserved for new team league expansion.

Option B: New managers have the option of taking over ownership of a team which has it's owner quit the league. By selecting this option, managers will have the draft seeding in which the previous owner would receive by its end of season standings placement, like all other managers. The players on that team would follow all preset keeper values that the previous manager had. Keepers will follow all previous rules and values. Essentially all that is happening to the pre-existing team is a change in ownership.

N. In the event that a manager quits the league and had future draft pick trades, the following will occur. The pick that would have been gained from the team that quit is placed at the end of the round it was traded in. This is because there is no actual placement spot from the team that no longer exists. The pick that would have been traded to the team that quit is subsequently deleted from the draft board.

Example: Team A trades it's 5th round pick to to Team B for it's 8th round pick. Team A quits. The 5th round pick is placed at the end of Round 5 and the 8th round pick is deleted.

O. Rules are subject to review and revision after the season is over and prior to the start of drafting at the discretion of the league or the commissioner.

Playoff Tiebreaker: Best Regular Season Record vs Opponent Wins

 

[Krankor]

If a mod could pin this thread, and unpin the old one I would appreciate it.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

why do we need a new category? just use ejections so it almost never factors in and I don't have to think about it.

 

[Krankor]

Because every playoff matchup ended in a 4-4 tie.

 

[Krankor]

No one likes double count outs.

 

[accettacj]

Assist/Turnover Ratio or double doubles

 

[accettacj]

for some reason i can’t edit:

A
B
Assist/Turnover Ratio or double doubles

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Something that won't have as much effect in the regular season then. Ejections, Flagrants, Techs. I like what we use in the regular season and don't want to mess with it.

 

[AA484]

Just leave it at higher seed.

All the potential ninth cats are trash.

Glad to be of such help with my feedback /s

 

[909]

Nah I agree with adding another cat. Everything can't end with a fucking tie. Add 3 point percentage to make everyone think whether or not they should be drafting a 3 point shooting spammer who can't actually shoot. And that category will also never be tied.

 

[AA484]

If you're gonna do that, swap out 3 point percentage for 3PM. That gives you five "normal" cats and three that never tie. Some quick math means there will never be a tie barring the super rare percentage cat tie. 3P% used to be one of the big stat cats back in the day before 3PM replaced it

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Just leave it at higher seed.

All the potential ninth cats are trash.

Glad to be of such help with my feedback /s

yeah do this. i don't like change. i don't even remember the ties being a big issue before last seasons playoffs

 

[AA484]

Or sub 3pt % for 3pm. The chance of ties are significantly reduced

 

[chrisv]

I don't mind sticking with "Daily - Tomorrow". But I also don't mind switching to "Daily - Today". If I had to pick one, I'd go with "Daily - Today".

I prefer "Option B: Team with best regular season matchup record vs opponent wins playoff tiebreaker.". This makes regular season matchups that much more meaningful, as there could be repercussions later on down the road during the playoffs.

I don't like any of the listed 9th Category options. So, my vote would be either to stay as-is (with 8 cats), or if we must, add Turnovers as the 9th cat. But I also hate the turnovers category. I just hate the other available listed options even more. And I'm also very against switching 3PM with 3P%. I'd stick with 3PM.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

i'm fine with either daily option. Option B sounds better for the same reason Chris is. My vote is Keep the categories as it is.

 

[Chosun One]

A
A
Happy to stick with 8 but to avoid ties I'd go with Double Doubles.

 

[Krankor]

From a post way earlier in the thread, I'm not talking about a tie in a single category. I'm talking about a matchup ending in a 4-4 tie. Trading 3PTM category for 3PT% doesnt change the scenario at all. If anything, it will cause a slight amount of more matchup ties since with percentages, there is less of a chance of that single category tying. I dont see any benefit to swapping those.


I'll go with:
A: Daily - Today
That might work better with the IL+ injury slots we use now.

A: Highest Seed Gets Tie Breaker
Kind of like this better than relying on a tie breaker being based on a single regular season week where you might have had your best players miss games and lost. This would definitely give the higher seeds a massive advantage in playoffs. It's like Regular Season Record becomes the 9th category for playoffs.

It seems like everyone dislikes the 9th categories. Anymore its way too easy to get a 4-4 tie in a matchup of Big Heavy Team vs Guard Heavy Team. It usually ends up with FG% REB BLK vs FT% 3PTM AST STL and the only category that could go either way with team construction is PTS.

 

[SteakGrowsOnDmitri]

I am ok with option A- Daily - Today for today's NBA where on any given day you need to make roster adjustments on the fly.

Option A on highest seed getting the tie breaker is fine as well.

I cannot stand just about any of those additional categories (Games Played? congrats on PARTICIPATING) or PERSONAL FOULS. The only one I guess if forced to adapt, MAYBE the double doubles category even though it might slightly skew towards the rebounding forwards. However, I don't see any option that is going to be approved by all.

 

[Krankor]

Alright, general consensus pretty much is that all 9th stat category options are butt. We'll just not add a 9th stat category and stick with 8.

Looks like we will go with Daily - Today for the Add/Drop player method.

We'll also use the Highest seed gets playoff tiebreaker feature. That will kind of act like a 9th category in the playoffs. Seems a little less fluky that individual matchups and puts more emphasis on getting the best possible regular season record.

We'll give those a whirl for 2022 and see how we like them.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I know we start the actual draft on the 1st but what day do we find out the lotto order?

 

[Krankor]

It'll get ran and posted this coming weekend sometime.

 

[Krankor]

Lottery will be ran today!

Ball #1: Ace (Consolation Winner)
Ball #2: AA484
Ball #3: CWM
Ball #4: Krankor

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

I never thought I'd say this, but that was a great post HQ.

 

[Krankor]

The yahoo player pool is accurate now. I'll manually add players to rosters on yahoo during the draft to keep it up to date. Once the draft is over I'll resubmit the draft results so that everyone can get their draft report cards and unlock add/drops on the league.

Draft officially begins on October 1st.

If anyone want's to draft early, that's fine too. Time limits won't go into effect until October 1st. Time limits are 12 hours as always. If we end up getting crunched on days toward the end of the draft, then maybe we'll do some one day lightning rounds. Normally we hammer it out in about 2 weeks.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Rudy Gobert

 

[AA484]

Man, I thought for sure that CWM was gonna take this guy, but I was proven wrong. I've needed a keeper superstar ever since Westbrook deteriorated from his previous MVP-level, and now I have one:

Devin Booker

 

[Krankor]

Zach Lavine

At least now when he misses games it will not only hurt the Bulls on TV, but my fantasy team as well!
