You will get FIVE RANDOM BOX SCORES from www.basketball-reference.com. The boxscores range from any NBA or ABA game from the 51-52 thru 24-25 season.
You must take at least TWO players from each of your FIVE box scores and the last TWO players from any of your boxscores to get to your final 12 player roster. You could choose 3 players from two of your boxscores, or load up and select 4 players from one of your boxscores.
Any box score within FOUR seasons of another box score chosen for you will be tossed and re-drawn. This rule will allow for more diversity in your rosters.
If you have a split season player, you can use the full season, or the partial of the season for the team he played on in the box score.
You will get your boxscores as soon as you sign up by replying to this classified post.
*NEW RULE started in Season 2* : You are allowed to request a re-draw for 1 game. However, this re-draw is final and cannot be taken back or undone. This will allow users to take a control if they feel they were given a bad draw.
*NEW RULE started in Season 4* : You can choose any player from the teams and season that was in your boxscores. They no longer have to play in the game to be used. As long as the player has an eligible WIS season for the team from your Boxscore.
*NEW RULE started in Season 5* : You may twist any 1 single player to any season of their career.
Divisons: The arena/stadium of the HOME TEAM of the fifth and last box score I pull for you will be the home court for your team.
Your homecourt will determine your league also. Teams will be placed in divisions based on the geographical location of their home court stadium. The 6 most west will be in the Pacific, 6 most east will be in the Atlantic, and the remaining 12 will be placed in either the Midwest or central as best I can. Exception is when two or more home courts are from the same city and that gives a division seven or more teams. the commish will use discretion to move a team.
SALARY CAP - $50 million
WW - NO
Rookies-NO
Clones - NO
Seasons usually span October-April so just pay attention to know which season you should use. (Use the link in the post with your five boxes)
Important: I verify teams when you load them into the league. That's the easiest way as I can sort by year and check the box score. Feel free to post them here also if you like.
Let me know if you have any questions. Roster building in random leagues is challenging and fun.
And for complete transparency, here is the url I use to generate the boxscores which I will need someone to do for me. It opens any basketball reference page so it could take many chances to find an applicable page especially with the 4 year rule.
