2702815, OKP Survivor XV{15}: THE PRESEASON POST
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Sep-09-19 10:58 AM
Ok, so NBA preseason starts 9/30 and the regular season starts 10/22 (6 days later than last year) so we'll get started to make sure we land well by seasons start.

Agenda items:
1-League setup and communication
2-League roster
3-Draft (and Debts)
4-Payment

League setup, communication and growth:
Your team names are all the same (feel free to change them), the divisions are already set.

League info:
Name - OKP Survivor League, Season XV{15} - Reign of the Bluegrass Bastion
League Logo: Coming soon
Password (if needed): calskids
League Rules: https://sites.google.com/site/okpsurvivorreference/home/rules

Any other suggestions for this season (keep in mind, we only have a few weeks to sort it out though so let's try to keep it reasonable)?

League Roster:
1-RBO
2-Ernie
3-Boogs
4-Deputy Commish
5-Commish
6-DVS
7-Shawn
8-Mr. Hood
9-Theo
10-Merf
11-Magilla
12-Ceej
13-Ryan
14-DJR
15-cGonz00zz ($85 in debt)
16-Basa
17-LABeat ($85 in debt but was offered a hardship waiver, his call to accept or not)
18-TJT

Anyone not returning?

Draft:
I'm planning for the second weekend in October (10/11 through 10/16). Weekend will have a longer time limit (shorter than last yr though) and that Monday will have the "speed" draft time limit we've been doing. Again, the idea is that we can finish all or most of the draft over the weekend. We won't have a ton of time to adjust so we'll need to settle on a day time if my plan doesn't work for everyone. Please let me know.

Payment:
-Entry fee: $60
Payout-
$60 Highest Avg, $60 best record
$240 for the runner up
$600 for the winner
-Payment is due by Friday, October 18th and 11:59pm EST.
-Paypal to: paypal.me/auraginboi or emystery@yahoo.com
-Late payment penalty schedule:

Missed Oct deadline date = $4
No payment by Nov 30th = $4
No payment by Dec 31st = $4
No payment by Jan 31st = $4
No payment by Feb 28/29th = $4
No payment by Mar 31st = $4
No payment until the entire season is over = $25 total penalty

This would make the fee $85 at seasons end ($60 entry plus $25 penalty). All penalty money will go towards the pot and any additional monies would go to the winner in whole (no split for runner up).

Oct 11 -14 so I can’t draft at all that weekend.

I don’t actually know where she’s taking me but I’m going somewhere for that weekend.

I’ll be in Chicago for work 15, 16, 17 but can actually draft during that time with some gaps
2702897, So that entire weekend is a no-go?
Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Sep-10-19 02:52 PM
Just want to confirm before I present alternative dates.
2702917, RE: So that entire weekend is a no-go?

2702947, Alternative Draft Dates
Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Sep-11-19 08:21 AM
I think we have about 10-11 confirmed so far and I think most will return (16 at minimum).

So with a few of you already stating a 10/11 is a inconvenient weekend, I'm proposing an alternative draft schedule.

Wednesday 10/16 through Monday 10/21. Will look something like we did last year but tweaked:

Wednesday, 10/16 @ Noon EST:
Timed draft starts
Noon-5pm EST, 15 min time limit
5pm EST clock off

Thursday, 10/17 @ Noon EST:
Timed draft starts
Noon-5pm EST, 15 min time limit
5pm EST clock off

Friday, 10/18 @ Noon EST:
Timed draft starts
Noon-5pm EST, 15 min time limit
5pm EST clock off

Saturday-Sunday, 10/19-10/20:
1 hour time limit over the weekend
Clock will start at 11am EST and turn off at 9pm EST all weekend
So basically, you have to pay attention to the draft until 8:01pm EST each day to avoid being skipped

Monday (if necessary), 10/21 @ Noon EST:
Timed draft starts
1 hour live draft, 5 min time limit
1pm-5pm EST 15 min time limit
5pm EST clock off

^^^As the NBA season starts on 10/22, we would have to finish on Monday.

Let me know if this works.
2702967, This works for me...we probably finish by Friday
Posted by Cenario, Wed Sep-11-19 10:31 AM
2702972, 10/16 is my birthday, I also got a bday trip that weekend

Don’t inconvenience the Champ.
2703036, Hopefully, you can have your trip uninterrupted as we should
Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Sep-12-19 10:46 AM
be able to finish by Friday.

Your B-day on the other hand? Better check your phone between bites of cake and sips of henny. I mean, it's YOUR b-day, shouldn't you be able to spend part of it nursing a draft? Amiright?
2702975, Agreed with Cenario, we have to be capable of a Wed-Fri draft
Posted by ErnestLee, Wed Sep-11-19 11:43 AM
Right?

I'll be at Treebones Resort in Big Sur Tues-Thursday that week, so I won't even have access to the internet those days because nature.

So I'll have to either all contingency draft or you can count me out this year (as long as I can come back next year if I'm not flexing on this league again)

2703034, And I FLEX right back
Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Sep-12-19 10:43 AM
Is there WiFi at Treebones?
We offer free wireless satellite internet in the lodge. Satellite internet will not support streaming /downloading of videos, or skype / FaceTime. Although satellite internet does typically allow for email and social media, it can some times be spotty so please come prepared to unplug as much as possible. In the case of an emergency, front desk personnel can be reached 7:30am-10:00pm at (805) 927-2390


Be ready to draft! lol

Have a contingency list and at least be able to respond to texts. hahaha

TJT gonna need to build a receiver on the beach to improve his hot spot connect and RBO gonna be drunk drafting on the 16th but the commish gives no phux.

They're vet enough to make it work.

2703218, Boogs is officially out. Damn.

2703251, Cgonz back in, we're up to 14 **CEEJ & RBO READ THIS**
Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Sep-17-19 09:53 AM
Gonz paid his back pay ($85)

Ceej is due $25
RBO is due $60

Do you guys just want me to apply this to your entry fee this yr or do you want me to send it to you now?

Balance:
LABeat is back ordered for $60 (or $85 if he chooses to pay the penalty).

From that split, Ceej is due $6, the rest will go to RBO.
2703256, You can take it off my bill.

2012-13 (26-36)
2013-14 (23-39)
2014-15 (38-24)
2015-16 (11-47)
2016-17 (20-38)
2017-18 (17-41)
2018-19 (42-16)

That's a one hot season every 3 year avg. Far more likely you don't hit 20 wins than you repeat as champ.

-2 days of rankings and sh*t talking
-Several days of RBO talking away all his championship mojo and Magilla over inflating his talent evaluation skills
-A few days of Shawn channeling Ms. Cleo with projections
-A week of activity and optimism
-Several months of roughly 5 people keeping the league active
-1-3 trades
-A key waiver pick up
-A few key injuries
-75% of the league making the playoffs

2704325, a tradition unlike any other: can we start the draft early?
Posted by thejerseytornado, Wed Oct-09-19 08:31 AM
even untimed? trying to queue 200 players is a fucking disaster (the website being prettier that previously makes it harder), it'd help to get through at least a few rounds over the next week.

injuries (you know I typically schedule it later to avoid guys drafting someone who gets hurt in preseason).

But I'm good with it if most of the league is.
