Positions & Salaries
Player positions are determined by
Yahoo. Player positions are published in the preseason and cannot change during the course of the year.
Salaries are determined by CDM Sports. Any player not listed on that site costs $750. Once salaries have been published in the preseason, they are frozen on the site and will not be updated throughout the year (even if CDM updates their salaries).
Teams Caps
The salary cap is listed on the Salaries page. There is no max player cap.
Each team must be under the salary cap by
the end of each round of a redraft. Salary Cap adjustments for
each year will be made by applying the difference of the top 250 CDM
player salaries from the current year to the previous year. The final cap
will be rounded to the nearest $500.
Scoring
Eleven players stats will count from each team. The scoring position requirements
are:
2 Centers 4 Forwards 4 Guards 1 Utility
Scoring is based on your teams ranking in six statistical categories. The formula is: the
sum of, the inverse ranking in each statistical category, multiplied by the category point
value. Category point values:
Points 4
Rebounds 3
Assists 3
Steals 2
Blocks 2
3 ptrs made 1
These examples are based on a ten team league:
The first place team in steals is 10x2=20 points
The last place team in steals is 1x2= 2 points
The second place team in rebounds is 9x3=27 points
Drafts & Redrafts
Only players whose rights are controlled by an NBA team are eligible for drafting. This excludes players on college or many professional development teams.
Pre-season redrafts occur as close to the beginning of the season as
possible. A redraft is held at the end of each month, and the end of the
season. These are targeted to occur as close to the 1st of each month as
possible. If the Commissioner is unable to reach you during the time of the
redraft, he may skip your pick.
Redrafts always occur in the reverse order of the
season standings. Therefore, the last place team picks first, and the first
place team picks first. In the event of a tie in the Year to
Date standings, the last month standings acts as a tiebreaker.
This order repeats itself until all players are finished making picks. There
is no limit to the number of picks that can be made in each redraft.
Trades
Trades must be made by the 15th of each month in order for the traded
players to count for their new teams in that month. Trades done after the
redraft is complete must still allow both teams to remain under the salary
and player cap.
"No Tank" Rule
In order to maintain the spirit of competition, owners are not allowed
to "tank it" at any point in the season in order to lower their score and
get a higher redraft pick. There is no objective measure in place to
determine this, but if the Commissioner suspects that an owner is "tanking
it", he can warn the owner first, and then if necessary have the computer's
picks be used. If necessary, the Commissioner can take control of the
owner's team temporarily or permanently.
