2017 Annual JazzFanz Current Players NBA Draft

[Elizah Huge]

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the all-time draft, it was a great experience. Let's make this one as equally awesome.

Anyways, you know the deal. Construct the best 10 player team possible. The goal is for your team to beat any and all of the other teams being drafted.

Once a team/user/owner is on the clock (it's their turn), they have up to 12 hours to make their pick. The quicker the better but a 12 hour maximum time period will be allotted.

Each pick must include the player's name, their "resume", and why they are the best ****ing pick possible at that place in the draft for your team -- a kick *** pic or two helps as well usually. Some details may be left out so as not to give away a team's strategy or indirectly allude to who that team/user/owner may be considering with their next pick(s), but you get the point.

Trading can occur during the draft and once it's done. Once the draft is complete, there will be a short amount of time for post-draft trades before the playoff tournament ensues. The winner of each match in the tournament will be determined by the voting of JazzFanz.

It will take more than 1/3 of the participants which in this case would be 6 votes to veto a trade. I don't think we will have a problem with any trades but there is a system in place just in case.

There will be a total of 16 teams, please only serious people who will not take the whole 12 hours and will actually make their pick within 3-5 hours or so. That seems like the perfect amount of time to me.

This is a current players draft, only current NBA players can be selected (including rookies if you want). The drafting and voting will be based on how we think each player will preform this upcoming season, as simple at that.

In the event of a tie, the team with the most votes from the other participants will win the tie-breaker. If it is still tied after that we will go into sudden death and the first team to receive a write-in vote will win and move on.

All participants must vote in every matchup.

The playoff seeding will be determined randomly and the playoff system will work extremely well with 16 teams.

If anyone has any questions, please ask.

Can we take a vote on no/limited trades?

Can we take a vote on no/limited trades?

I was going to do so whenever we filled up the open spots. That's why I didn't post any of the rules in the OP yet. We need to also vote on a tie-breaker method.

 

[ONE LOVE]

Thanks WC, great job as always man.

How many slots would that be?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Can we take a vote on no/limited trades?

I think trades are fine. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. If people really enjoy doing them, let them do them.

My opinion on rule changes/mods:

Trades: Trades are allowed, they are fun and part of the game but I'd suggest If you are trading into an OTC pick you must then pick straight away. For a trade to be vetoed a minimum of 6 (or roughly 1/3) the competition must state they have an issue with the trade, I don't think there is any need for a poll as it will just slow things up.

Tiebreaker: Before the competition starts select 3 people to be the tiebreaker. They vote as usual but in the event of a tie their votes will carry more weight.

In this scenario, you'll generally know who owns the tiebreaker before all the votes are in.



Otherwise I think the last one went well and cheers WC for the effort put in.

I actually said I'd be in in the All-time draft thread, but in between the important sweet potato discussions and the complaining, I'm not surprised I got missed.

I liked the suggestion that you can trade your pick it just has to be done before you are on the clock.

I'm good with that.

 

[gandalfe]

I liked the suggestion that you can trade your pick it just has to be done before you are on the clock.

I suggested it, I think, so naturally I agree.

 

[Siro]

I liked the suggestion that you can trade your pick it just has to be done before you are on the clock.

We should definitely do that. Good idea.

 

[elan_prodigy]

I'd suggest you can still trade an OTC pick because people generally try to trade up for an OTC pick, its just that when that trade is made a selection has to be made straight after.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I'd suggest you can still trade an OTC pick because people generally try to trade up for an OTC pick, its just that when that trade is made a selection has to be made straight after.

I think the main idea is to stop the people who get on the clock then say they are open to offers for the pick and so forth.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think the main idea is to stop the people who get on the clock then say they are open to offers for the pick and so forth.

Why though? As long as they aren't going over the time they are allowed.

I like the idea of otc trades. Easier to gage if u can pick up an extra pick and still get your guy. Taking those trades away takes away some of the fun and strategy. It's the summer and it's boring, why speed this up. Take our time and have some god damn fun for hell sakes!!
