East Cross Era Duos - Draft thread 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Mon Apr 1, 2024 10:31 pm

Draft Rules:

1. All NBA seasons from 1979-80 up to and including 2022-23 are eligible, subject to the restriction outlined below.

2. You will be required to draft a total of 8 players in 4 rounds. Each of your players must play a minimum of 8 minutes in your rotations.

3. Your team will be allowed a combined total of 88.0 FGA with a minimum of 3.0 FGA per player corresponding with the specific seasons indicated for each player. NOTE: You may pick a player whose actual FGA number was lower than 3.0, but you still be charged 3.0 for that player.

4. Each player you select must have played at least 50% of regular season games in the season selected.

5. In each round you select a pair of players. Every player pair must play 50% of their games in the selected season for the same franchise or a preceding franchise. One of those players' season must be in the timeframe 1979-80 to 2008-09, and the other's must be in the timeframe 2009-10 to 2022-23.

Franchises allowed for selection are the ones currently in the East: Celtics Bucks Knicks Cleveland Orlando Indiana Miami Philly Bulls Hawks Brooklyn Toronto Charlotte Washington Detroit.

You may only select one player in each pair who ever won MVP or selected multiple times for First Team All NBA.

6. We will be doing a modified snake draft. It will go like this: ABBA.

7. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

8. The clock will be turned off between 12 midnight and 9 AM EDT.

9. Draft order will be completely randomized.

10. After you have made your draft selection, please quote and/or PM the person that goes after you so they will know that it is their turn and they are on the clock. You may not change your pick after it has been made, even if the next person in the order has not picked yet. Please note that the clock starts whenever the previous drafter has either made their pick or their two-hour window has expired, even if the next person is not quoted.

11. The winner of the draft will be determined by rankings, playoffs, or hybrid (depending on numbers).

Team Roster Page Rules:

You will be responsible for creating a roster page for your fantasy team. Here are the things that you will be required to include on your roster page:

. Players
. Rotations
. Draft selections
. The most important of all, you must show the total FGA per player on your roster AND a total sum of each players FGA to display that it is under the required 88.0 FGA

-All of the above must be completed before playoffs/rankings begin.

Don't think I can afford to go conservative here.

I guess I’m forced into this…

MVP - Moses Malone (2nd one on roster)
All NBA D 2 - Matisse Thybulle

Moses and Bird should be a devastating duo
