2009 ATMD Board of Directors

Same as the draft rules thread, lets find all the rules we have some issues with and correct them I guess...:)

Rules for Matches:

1. Word Limits to gameplans, during pool periods (1000 word max ), during tournament ( 1200 word max ). Word Count does not include listing of rosters and minutes. 
2. Requirement that each Coach must list the minutes played of each player in the gameplan, no more "Match LeBrons minutes"
3. Requirement that each player must be designated to a particular position in the gameplans, for example if you have Moses Malone, you must say that he's playing 30min at C, then 10min at PF.
4. Penalty if someone does not turn in a gameplan, once = forfeit, twice = removal from contest.
5. Games that go into overtime or get "enough" votes will just continue on and won't push the next set of games back to mess up schedule. ( minimum of 10 votes in each match )  Matches that are tied in point value after 3 days will go into an overtime period of 24 hours where whichever team is leading at that time wins the match.  If it's tied still then we go into a sudden death period where the next vote wins.
6. If someone doesn't turn in a gameplan they will lose the match by forfeit, the Poster who turned in their gameplan has the option to post only their gameplan for people to comment.  Winning team gets an automatic 5 votes for and 0 votes against ( used for tie-breaking purposes )
7. When both teams fail to turn in gameplans, turns into Roster only match then.  The winner of the match gets an automatic 5 votes for and 0 votes against ( used for tie-breaking purposes ).
8. Votes that are "Marginal" in the contest will need to be explained further, a marginal vote is one that shows clearly the Poster didn't read the gameplans and needs to explain the reasoning further. ( Only COTB determines marginal votes )
9. Voting value in the game threads: ( Details to be finalized by the BOD ).
          *Votes from Sole Owners = 2 points
          *Votes from Team Owners = 1 point
          *Votes from non-participants = 1 point
    

 This is so we can discuss rules and such and confirm them before the competitiion....I have one thing to bring up, so I will post it. :)

Rules for Draft:

1. All players who have been in the NBA for at least 1 full year are eligible for the draft.  That includes Michael Jordan ( who was not eligible last year ).  Nobody is eligible that has played their entire career in the ABA. 
2. Draft Lottery Challenge: The BOD will determine a basketball game that everyone will submit what they think the total combined score of the two teams will be and the closest will get the first overall pick with the furthest from that total getting the last pick. ( When that time comes all picks will be submitted via pm to a BOD member who will announce the order the following day )
3. Number of rounds staying to 10, still snake style draft.
4. Unlimited trading allowed ( either picks or players ) during the draft.  To be kept track by BOD's WCF and NH.
5. No trading of overall picking position, for instance if someone picks 3rd and if someone picks 5th, you can't swap picking position for the entire contest.  Only can trade picks during particular rounds.
6. Each draft pick time limit = 8 hours  If person doesn't draft in that time they are skipped and can come back anytime and announce their player as long as they are still available.
7. You can change your mind on your selection as long as it's before the person picking after you announces their selection.
8. Players are judged upon how they were in their prime of their career in the NBA, not how they played in the ABA for instance.
9. Divisions for first round of pool play will be finalized by the entire BOD
