THE BASICS
Our Regular Season will be run as a Fantasy League on ESPN. It is a head-to-head, most categories wins league.
THE STAFF
The league was created for the owners and will be run by the owners. There will be 2 co-commisioners: Miege22 and Richardson239. Trades and re-signs will be voted on by the owners. A trade or re-sign requires 7 yes or no votes to approve or veto.
SCORING
Teams will compete head to head in 9 categories for 18 weeks in the regular season. Each week, the team that wins the most categories will receive a win...the team that loses the most will be awarded a loss.
SCORING CATEGORIES
Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Turnovers, Three Pointers Made, Field Goal % and Free throw %.
In the event of a tie the winner of the points category will be declared the winner.
LEAGUE ORGANIZATION
The league will consist of 20 teams in four divisions. Each division will consist of 5 teams. Teams will play their division opponents 2 times each (8 games), then two other divisions once (10 games)
PLAYOFFS
The four division winners will receive first round byes. The next 8 teams will be seeded 5-12 based on record with the match-ups as follows:
5 vs. 12; 6 vs. 11; 7 vs. 10; 8 vs. 9
Tiebreaker procedures
In the event that two teams are tied for a playoff spot or division, tiebreakers will proceed in this order:
1. Head-to-head record
2. Division record
3. Record against common opponents
4. Most categories won
5. Fewest categories lost
6. Roto comparison (where each team stood for the season in our 9 categories)
In the event that three or more teams are tied for a playoff spot, tiebreaker will proceed in this order:
1. If one team is a division winner, they automatically receive the higher seed
2. Head-to-head
3. If all in same division, division record
4. Record against common opponents
5. Most categories won
6. Fewest categories lost
7. Roto comparison
LEAGUE CHAMPION REWARD
If you are lucky enough to become the League Champion. Your reward is an extra re-sign to be used. This extra re-sign is good for any of the next 5 offseasons, beginning the season you are League Champion.
INTEGRITY OF THE GAME CLAUSE
Teams are required to keep their top 7 players in the active lineup if they do not plan on setting their lineup every day. If a team cannot decide on their top 7, I will make that executive decision. Any team suspected of tanking will receive a warning. If the team continues to display signs of tanking, they will be fined $10,000,000 effective the following season. A third offense will result in loss of a draft pick. If an owner breaks this rule for a fourth time, they will be removed from the league.
I realize that real life happens from time to time, and owners can't always get a lineup set. If you know you won't be able to set a lineup, please let myself or Richardson239 know, and we can set a lineup on your behalf. What constitutes tanking? Removal of any top-7 player for another player who is not playing that night or injured. It is fairly easy to spot tanking teams.
