Gang of Ten (An NCAA regular season game)

Based on the success of the Starting Eight game last NCAA tourney, wade and I talked about doing a regular season version. The premise is basically the same, though there are tweaks for the regular season format.

Quote:
1. You pick a roster of any 10 players in NCAA Division 1 men's college basketball.

2. You score as many points equal to the total number of points & rebounds as each of your players scores in their games starting December 1st.

3. There will be a waiver period that takes place at the end of each month for add/drops from your ten-man roster. Each team is given 1 wildcard waiver to use during the month as they see fit (for injury, etc.)

4. The idea is obviously to have the most points at the end of the season, but we'll do weekly and monthly winners too.

This game will end after the regular season and we'll go back to Starting Eight for the post-season, but thought it might be fun for chronic NCAA watchers to have a low-fuss fantasy-type game to play during the year.

There is no draft, you just release your own Gang of Ten.

If interested, post here and we'll get it started.

In either way, but two questions - why no counting assists, and is there any limit to how many players you can switch at the end of each month?

Based on our discussions of e games, assists were left out basically for simplicity's sake. Maybe next year, if we get good interest, we can bring assists in - but right now trying to keep it simple and balanced, which I think points + rebounds does. Once you start throwing in assists you have to ya about turnovers. Once you talk about turnovers, you have to talk about steals.

Unless I had a different impression than YD, you could change all 10 players at the end of the month I believe.

Oh, needless to say, I'm in.

Aren't there wild disparities in the amount of games played each month per team?

We initially discussed making it a conference-play only game. But I suspect that this factor (or wild scheduling disparities) might be part of the calculus with who people pick & for when.

average of points/rebounds per game instead of totals.

I think the rules are pretty straightforward as is, but averages would sort of screw up the program. Since it's not a draft, I figure people can just check ahead to the people they might want playing for them based on schedule, etc.
