Rules for CyberZahm Basketball Roto
10/02/2001


A. Draft Order

Dave, Mags, Jack, Andy, Hans, Fox, Gabes

If anyone else joins the fun they will draft after Gabes.

You can trade positions, up to two days before the draft,
even up, no future considerations allowed.


B. The draft

We will draft first to last, last to first, for a total of 14 rounds.

Everyone must be able to field a starting lineup of 2 centers, 4 guards,
and 4 forwards.  We will each also have 4 reserves. 

The positions that players qualify for will be determined by the player
listings found at on the Cyberzahm 2001 basketball site ... follow
the link to Positions.

The draft will begin on Monday, October 22nd. 


C. Categories

The categories are Total Points, Scoring Average, Field Goal Percentage,
Free Throw Percentage, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocked Shots and
Three-Point Baskets.

Roto points are calculated just like for baseball.
The percentage categories are calculated like the baseball
batting average ... i.e. team shots made/team shots attempted.


D. Starting Lineups 

Everyone must set their starting lineup of 2 C's, 4 F's and 4 G's by
10/29 or the day after the draft ends (by 6 pm Eastern Time), 
whichever comes last.  Just send the list to me.  I'll post them.

The players not in your starting lineup are your reserves.


E. Replacements 

Between 10/30 and 2/10 you can replace up to 5 of your players with any 
"free agent".  This will be first come first serve. Send your requests
to the ICC.

Replacing one of your reserves will cost $10.
Replacing one of your starters will cost $15.


F. Exchanges

At any time during the season you can exchange players between your reserves 
and your starting lineup. You may make a total of 12 such exchanges. Again,
send these requests to the ICC.

Exchanges cost $5 each.


G. Trades

Trading is allowed until the trade deadline (2/21). 
All trades must leave all owners with a full starting lineup. 
Inform the ICC of any trades and related moves.

You may not trade replacement/exchange options.


H. Fees

Entry       $50
Replacement $10/$15
Exchange    $ 5

Web Site   $100/n where n = number of owners
(Note -- if the web site is free then this charge will be dropped).


I. Payouts

   First, we deduct the cost of the stat service, if any ($100). 
   Then the remaining money is divvied up as follows:
   
   First place:                    30%
   Second place:                   15%
   Third place:                     5%

   The remaining 50% will be given out using the following scheme which essentially 
   pro-rates payouts based on total points ...

   The total points earned by the last place team are subtracted from everybodies
   total points, giving everyone an adjusted point value. The adj pt vl of the last place
   team would be zero. The first place team would have the highest adj pt vl.
   Each team would be paid from the remaining 50%, a share equivalent to their percentage
   of the total adjusted point values.


J. Calendar 2000-2001

K) Rules interpretations

I am the all powerful ICC.

This means that the above rules mean what I mean them to mean and 
not necessarily what they say they mean.

If I need the help of my PRICC I will know it.
