damn this draft is at 11:45 EST?! i didn't realize all of y'all were west coasters, it's no biggie but i think odds are very strong that i'll be autodrafting.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 18 October 2019 18:32 (four years ago) link
I'm east coast too - tbh 8:45 est would be tricky for me anyway putting kids to bed but yeah will probably have to do some autodrafting. I'll try to make it for the first few rounds tho
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 18 October 2019 18:43 (four years ago) link
no auto-drafting allowed (half joking, but like 50% of the fun of fantasy is the draft imo). what time would be work better? I just kind of threw that out for a first time. I could do mid day on Sunday like around 1:30-4pm pacific time or monday evening.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 19:00 (four years ago) link
EST evening sunday will work otherwise i'm mostly screwed
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 18 October 2019 19:01 (four years ago) link
Honestly with this being a snake draft it’ll probably go pretty quick so I could possibly swing 1145. An hour or two earlier would be ideal but I can be amenable
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 18 October 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link
yeah my last one took about an hour - 8 teams snake draft 90 seconds for each pick. I changed this one to 60 seconds per pick should go even quicker
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 22:26 (four years ago) link
10 or 10:30 EST Sunday night would be ideal but could start as early as 9 or at the later pacific-friendly time

let's get eight teams in this thing
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 19 October 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
no extra points for 3s, huh?
― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:31 (four years ago) link
down for that, theyre already worth 3 of the points
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:36 (four years ago) link
oh wow that changes my draft strategy immensely, not doing %s either?
― Clay, Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:55 (four years ago) link
so i did some Number Crunching in MicroSoft ExCel (the extra caps in SC stand for Sports Center)
using last year's data, the number one fantasy man per game using spottie's rules is james harden, the second is giannis, wow we got ourselves a mvp debate again!!!
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:19 (four years ago) link
also the player that most unfairly benefits from this scoring system is westbrook
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:33 (four years ago) link
i think percentages are really important for balance in fantasy hoops and would like to suggest we use them!
― Clay, Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:45 (four years ago) link
i wish missed shots could be a negative value, it would really penalize low-efficiency volume shooting that gets the PPG up
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:47 (four years ago) link
altho there arent a lot of ppl other than westbrook who are getting rewarded here, its mostly a reflection of the best talent, though it does reward big men more than it prob should.
the average distribution of a player's Spottie points in this system goes like this (w some rounding):47% from PPG26% from RPG16% from APG11% from SPG7% from BPG-6% from TO/G
big men less likely to have high TO rates and more like to have big REB and BLK so thats why 6 of the top 11 players from 18-19 would be centers (davis 3rd, joel 5th, towns, jokic, drummond, vucevic 8th-11th)

sorry was away today. lol i hadnt set up the scoring settings yet. bison you are a genius and im sorry you wasted time but we're going with a standard weekly head to head 8 category league.
Ulysses youre the last one to sign up we need you. i sent the email let me know if you didnt get it.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 06:49 (four years ago) link
Did we decide on a draft time?
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Sunday, 20 October 2019 12:16 (four years ago) link
is it possible to do 7 or 9 categories to avoid ties?
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link
Think I’m gonna keep the draft time as is. I’ll mull Over adding another category. I find 8 cat the best. Head to head winner doesn’t matter as much as head to head category record so a tie won’t really matter in the end
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 16:48 (four years ago) link
We got 8 it’s on
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 16:49 (four years ago) link
please just don’t change the settings again, I initially assumed it was 8 category then saw yesterday it was points and so I redid my rankings accordingly and so now I learn that was a total waste of time

― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 17:31 (four years ago) link
Sorry evol I dunno how it changed I never set it as a points league so maybe that was the default and I never set it up right. 8 cat will be the way.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 20 October 2019 18:02 (four years ago) link
no worries, just glad we're all on the same page now.

About an hour til draft time y’all I hope you’re geared up and ready to draft the best team possible.

so am I correct in surmising that we can adjust our lineups every day in this league? in other words you don't have to use the same lineup for an entire week? I couldn't find anything that would enable me to lock in a lineup for a whole week so I'm assuming this is the case, but maybe I just overlooked something.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Monday, 21 October 2019 14:00 (four years ago) link
correct. but if you want there is a 'start active players' button on the top left (or its the lightning button on the app) which lets you set the active players for the day or for the rest of the week. if you set it and then make a trade or waiver pickup then i think it resets it.
