I've been back and forth considering trying to do whatever I can (whether that be Commish, etc) to try to get SSBA back up and going.  I just don't have the time.  Not with DX and SBNation consuming up my basketball time, I just don't have the hours per day to devote to it.

It's been great, guys.  We had nearly 6 years ...

dang.  only submitted one bid because Johnson was my real target.  Now the real FA begins for me.

In the future, I think it would be best if Draft Lists were ONLY submitted through the GM Actions page.  Expecting a commish to remember PM's, IM's, emails, and the draft lists is a little too much.  Keep it consolidated.

I'm trying to stay out of things, because if I don't have time to run things then it doesn't make sense for me to dictate things.

That being said, having run a sim for years, i do think it makes sense to share my experience and voice my opinion.  In my opinion, the most important thing for a successful sim league isn't the speed at which it moves, but reliability and consistency.  People need to know what they need to submit and when they need to submit it by, and it can never, ever go before that.  When something's delayed, the schedule needs to be updated and announcements need to be made.

Never, ever, ever did I run a sim before the announced timeline.

That being said, I don't have a problem with there only being 24 hours before sims, I just think the schedule should have been updated when the first picks were delayed and that change announced.

I think it would help to use the announcements forum more.  When a thread's posted there, it's displayed on the main page of the site (www.ssbabasketball.com) and on the front of the forums.  Helps get word out.

It's also possible I did that by accident.  I was the only one with a list in at that point anyway, and I had Jabari Dean on my list, so I don't think it even matters.

Wow, really surprised no one has made a pick in the draft room.  Does everyone know what it is for?

I only have the list for the 3rd pick. :s

I'll wait until tomorrow since we have no sim tomorrow anyway. I don't want to the top 8 picks to be majority of cpu drafts.

huh?  I submitted my list right hwen I asked.

Is it possible you hit the "Reset Last Drafted to 0" button at the top when viewing the draft lists?  That clears out the draft list table.

Where do we send draft lists?

Through the Gm actions page like in years past ?

sorry for not getting these online.  I've been sick the past few days. 

(they're online now, but apparently magic sent them out manually.  sorry!)

Isn't there already a Gm finders fee?

I've given magic admin privileges.

My gut is not to rush back into things.  We have 10 GM's who haven't logged in in the past 5 days.  Send out an email, set a date on when to run.  We've all waited two months.  Another few days wouldn't kill anyone as long as we get it right.

Furthermore, since you're brand new to simming, I'd take some time to get used to the process.  You just got access to the admin portion of GM actions 2 minutes ago.  There's a lot different here than anywhere else.

The great thing is, at this point half the GM's have simmed this league at some point, so we're all here to help

kb.ssbabasketball.com is your friend.

If you could, have him email it to me, or upload it through the tool I created here.  I don't have time to sim, but I would like to make sure we have a copy of it.

He's been switched.  Welcome back nick!
