Reserved for rules, etc.

Rules for the BAPAY.

A. The draft timer is turned off from 10PM to 8AM Eastern time. Night owls should feel free to continue with picks during this period, but no one will be penalised for sleeping.

1. 12 hours for the first 3 rounds
2. 6 hours thereafter
3. If a person has been BAPAYed the previous round and has not been in contact since, they are BAPAYed immediatedly upon their turn arising until they are sighted again
4. BAPAY to be done as a intelligent BAPAY-- use the list strictly except for the obvious PIM anomolies. best player is picked to fill any available starters roles first. If all starters are picked its just BAPAY all the way.
4a. Intelligent extends beyond what is strictly on the list. Common sense and the rule of the reasonable should be used. Ex: towards the end of the draft there are likely to be a lot of goalies, rookies, and defencemen in relatively high positions who have not been drafted; a player should not be loaded up with goalies and rookies on his bench.
4b. Players unavailable should not be drafted as BAPAYs. Ex: Jagr, Radulov, Emery from years past.
5. Any manager can BAPAY by posting the pick and starting the clock for the next player.
6. Any manager who has been BAPAYed may change the BAPAY chosen player for another available, undrafted player during the period up to and including the time the draft returns to that manager for his/her two following draft choices. Ex: you may change your 6th (and 7th)(BAPAYed) draft choice any time prior to or when you make your 8th draft choice. [changed from immediately following draft pick to allow for people at either end of the snake to change a double BAPAY.]

[Asher]

I'm in, of course.

[Guynemer]

Likewise.

[notyoueither]

I wonder if any more of the Chicago mob will dip their toes in.

[mrboo123]

Count me in.

[snoopy369]

I shouldn't play, as I don't seem to be able to find time to manage the team over the course of the season. But if you end up needing an extra person to even up numbers, I will, as long as you don't yell at me for forgetting to pay attention to my team

[Flubber]

I have a rule named after me-- how quaint-- Given that trades are nearly non-existent- its not been an issue LOL.

I am in. Oh and I think the rules are fine as is. I still wish we used a "different" stat of some type since I think it adds to the strategy (ex PIM-- do you draft a goon or not?) but I know there is not enough support for that.

[Flubber]

It's getting to be about that time.

Posting this now to give people a chance to speak up about rules and to laugh at the Leafs and Oilers.

AS a Flames fan, I don't feel in a position to laugh at anyone (particularly since the Oil should be very veru good in the not too distant future.

Our Flames management seem to be reading the pre-season hype from LAST year when they were predicted to be a strong team and are forgetting the performance of the last half of last season completely.

"OOOO KOOL-AID " [ sips deeply ] " Flames are number one "

[Sparrowhawk]

I am in again, but I would once again like to put it out there that we replace Shutouts as a goalie stat with Goals against average (Wins, GAA, Save%).

Just a thought, feel free to condem me for suggesting it.

/me

[notyoueither]

Both SHO and GAA are somewhat team stats in my mind. SHO may be a bit more individual, but it also ends in ties frequently due to the infrequency of the event. GAA would lead to more decisions.

I'm fine with either stat.


In so far

Interested as an alternate

[Guynemer]

I'm good with GAA, or even both.

[Asher]

If we do both, my concern is we'd need another skater stat to devalue goalies.

[Flubber]

Both SHO and GAA are somewhat team stats in my mind. SHO may be a bit more individual, but it also ends in ties frequently due to the infrequency of the event. GAA would lead to more decisions.

I'm fine with either stat.

I would take GAA over shutouts-- Shutouts are so hit and miss but GAA is a very good team/goalie stat IMHO and it does not mimic SV% too much

Like Asher, I do not want more goalie stats unless we add a skater stat and I have never seen another skater stat with sufficient support in the pool

[Asher]

I am indifferent on the GAA vs SHO metrics.

BTW Flubber, I've PMed you yesterday but I think the notifications are broken. It's too late now anyway.
