Yahoo NBA will be opening by the end of this month...so within 10 days. Summary of this offseason:1. Roost stepped down from his Commissioner post, and also left the league for this season2. We have become a money league - $20 buy-in, x14 managers = $280 pool3. We welcome UA and Milwaukee Hawks back into the leagueA list of things that need to get done:1. Recruit 3 new managersBlanks?? 2. Setup the league page when yahoo nba opensPlease upload your logos if it isn't already there when you sign into the page 3. Decide how to split the $280 prize pool and how the money will be stored during the seasonCurrently we're leaning towards: 1st place: $140 2nd place: $60 3rd place: $40 Best regular season record: $20 7th: $20 4. Decide whether or not we continue our previous draft format or randomise the draft orderCurrently together we are very split over this. As it stands this is the draft order: 1. Melbourne Force - CONFIRMED2. PM24 - CONFIRMED3. Budgewoi Bulldogs - CONFIRMED4. Spurschamps - CONFIRMED5. Basket Reavers - CONFIRMED6. PP - CONFIRMED7. New Zealand Pride - CONFIRMED8. InItToWinIt - CONFIRMED9. Milwaukee Hawks - CONFIRMED10. Canadian Eh - CONFIRMED11. Malice - NEW MANAGER12. Munchymart - NEW MANAGER13. PHXSUNS - NEW MANAGER14. U.A - RETURNING - CONFIRMEDHONOUR BOARD - 3NC CHAMPIONS2005/06 - InItToWinIt 2006/07 - Rotan YellowHammers 2007/08 - Melbourne FORCE 2008/09 - PM24 2009/10 - Budgewoi Bulldogs 2010/11 - Budgewoi Bulldogs 2011/12 - Melbourne FORCE 2012/13 - WHO WILL IT BE THIS YEAR??![](http://gickr.com/results3/anim_12a978bc-64cc-6dd4-edc7-e8dc5e0f2d41.gif) ![](http://gickr.com/results3/anim_e3274586-3ea9-bac4-5508-fa1b5b88ea90.gif) ![](http://gickr.com/results3/anim_e18515ff-64e6-91a4-292d-a8c836701c74.gif)

Thats cool we normally draft final weekend of September. Thats 1 month notice guys.
What i'll do is create a 3NC email address and a paypal account for it. I'll share the email and paypal password with 1 other manager, and we'll all put $20 (US) into the account.
Yahoo NBA will normally open in the next couple hours.
I'm gonna put the foot down and offer this split:
1ST PLACE: 140 2ND PLACE: 60 3RD PLACE: 40 TOP OF LEADERBOARD END OF REG SEASON: 20 WINNER OF CONSOLATION BRACKET: 20
You guys have your say and will change accordingly

I am at the service of the league It does not matter to me what we decide to go with. My function is simply to provide ideas and options for the league to consider.
My availability for the live draft is wide open so there is no need to factor me in when making the draft time and date. I will be prepared whether I attend or not.
I also have no issue with the payout structure as you outlined it. I suppose there are 100 different variations that could be done to move little amounts from place to place their but I think this outline is as close to any to the spirit of the idea.
As for the randomized reorder of the draft... I like this idea for "this season ONLY". But I understand there is some resistance to this idea, but I do not want to rock the boat on an issue that I do not see as imperative. I really like the idea but I am not married to it. If this issue were to never come to a vote and everything stayed the same, that would be just fine with me. That being said, if this issue were to come to a vote I suspect that it would prevail, so I would urge that you proceed with caution before turning it over to the league to decide on in a boat.

Prefer to have the draft early as possible in the scheme of things. Have final law exams coming up, and heading overseas at beginning of October. And yeah, guess we wont rock the boat on that randomised 1 off draft ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) - I have a manager, same one I have been mentioning all off season. What steps to be taken next? League vote? Or just slotted in?

1. Force, can you please provide some guidance on the new manager nomination and approval process you want us to use?
I know you are busy, so before you respond think about what the easiest thing for you would be and the rest of us will conform to that.
2. Who is Milwaukee hocks? Is that one of Reivers chums? It is the off season so there is no reason to think he is gone at this point, but maybe someone has a lead on him?
3. we have an over abundance of Americans to fill the slots. The trick is going to be getting the one or two AUS/NZ players that you want, and like I said earlier that player will have to be generated by you guys on that side of the world.

The trick is going to be getting the one or two AUS/NZ players that you want, and like I said earlier that player will have to be generated by you guys on that side of the world. The nomination system will be...let me know their username and I will look over their activity over the past couple years. If they have top 6 placings it probably a fair assumption they are also active. Plus obviously if they are referred to here by a manager then that itself is an endorsement. After i'll make a thread for them and if theres general approval, then they're in. Milwaukee Hawks was a manager here last season who Roost booted because of too many strikes against his name for not setting his roster. It annoyed him so eventually he kicked him out. He asked to be back this season and Roost accepted it. Hawks...be active all season please. PP has somebody in mind as per his last post but not sure if he's Aus/NZ. You're right it will be up to the Aussie managers to fill the Aus/NZ void.

Ok, I've spoken to my bro (Blanks) and he is appreciative of the invite but believes that he would not have the time to be active all season. He's got 4 kids now so I can understand, particularly when three are under 4 yrs old.
It's disappointing for sure.

Does anybody hav any contact with Roost?
2 things...1, i want the admin username and password to the forum and 2, he may be one who needs to re-activate the league once yahoo opens
I'm betting it opens tomorrow as hockey opened today and they probably wanted to avoid server issues
New 3NC email account: commish3nc@hotmail.com
For safety reasons to ensure all money is handled properly, 1 other manager will have the password to this account and I will create a paypal account soon under this email
