Before Rivalry Weekend kicks off on Week
7, a series of rivalries play out on
Week 6.
The #1 Stunners seek to avenge last
season's Week 8 loss, a defeat that
knocked them out from the Playoffs for
the first time. 626'ers are matched-up
against Silent But Deadly, a team that
has dominated them from the Playoffs.
USUCK and Money Inc take their trash
talk from the boards to the hardwood.

LIFESTYLE
We received a lot of inquiries regarding next season's registration.
REGISTRATION begins on
SEPTEMBER 12
Season begins on
OCTOBER 12
We will celebrate our 10th Season by naming it "Lifestyle" after our
motto:
"Basketball isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle."
INTRODUCING OUR NEW SCHEDULE COORDINATOR
I've done the scheduling for the past 9 seasons but with the league
getting
bigger it's time to pass that responsibility to someone else.
Starting next season, the new scheduling coordinator will handle all
payments,
scheduling via e-mail.
I will strictly focus on being Commish and being 'just' the
webmaster. When
you want to make your payment, get your games scheduled, please e-mail
the
coordinator.
INTRODUCING OUR NEW
PROCEDURE
So when I met with this person, one of the things we discussed is
accepting
payment during game days. Personally, I hate it.
I'm more into the media stuff, more into taking pictures, doing
interviews, adding
on to the features that makes our league unique.
For the teams who pay in advance, I can't thank you enough for making
life easier.
For the teams who pay every game day, your process will have to change.
- In order for games to be scheduled, payment (check or paypal) must be
RECEIVED by Tuesday afternoon.
- Games will only be scheduled if payment is received by Tuesday
afternoon,
Yes that's a repeat, Payment must be received by Tuesday
afternoon.
- Scheduling priority goes to teams who pay first.
If you hate driving to ASC, then you better pay in
advance!
I AM NOT PART of the scheduling committee no longer so please don't ask
me
if you can get your game scheduled...despite the fact that your team
hasn't paid.
I've heard every excuse in the book for the past 9 seasons. I've always
been
straight up when the website isn't updated or when things are going on in
the
league. When I have to hear every excuse in the book and you complain
about
officiating...when your team hasn't paid half of their fees, then I can't
take
you seriously. (no names mentioned)
Do you really think I can tell ASC or City of Walnut or the insurance
company...
"What had happened with my check was.... (fill in the blank)"
NO GAMES
Just a reminder, NO GAMES THIS COMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
It's funny how a head referee will ask me if there's any games on
Holidays...
when we haven't played on any holidays during the past 9 seasons.
(no names mentioned)

LOST VEGAS
Seems like all the regulars were missing. Was Vegas really all that last
week?
Well, game logs were up early on Monday and I'm cranking out all the
recaps by
tonight. I guess that's my way of saying thanks. lol.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
I'm waiting for ASC's schedule this weekend before I post up tentative
schedules.
A lot of teams are playing double-headers but expect most of the Diamond
teams
to be at Anaheim this week.
CONTINUED UPDATES
Next on the list is the Records page and the All Star page.
I just got done with the
Championship page
last weekend.
It's taking longer than expected because they layout is cleaner and I'm
making
it easier for myself to update in the future. It's kinda like the time
when NBA 2K8
re-designed their engine.... the graphics looked better but it took
awhile.

WHAT WE LEARNED
8.15.08 |
TRADES.
We've had this feature added 3 seasons ago but the player movement we've
seen in the last 2-3 weeks mimics that of the NBA. We never thought it
would
take off like this and all it took was for 1 player to make a change and
everyone
followed.
WHY DID YOU ADD THE TRADE FEATURE TO THE
LEAGUE?
In the past, players have been known to drop out of teams halfway through
the season. Either players stop showing up or via verse where GMs don't
tell
their players to show up. Last day to add players is
3rd game
(previously 2nd)
and that meant the team wasted a roster spot and have no player to show
for.
We've made it easier for GMs to manage their teams but some players are
abusing
the trade feature. It's unfortunate for the GMs to have players leave the
team but
look on the bright side. Would you rather have an unhappy player playing
for you?
Would you rather have the player leave and you get nothing in return? By
calling
it a trade, you get your disgruntled player out of your team, and you get
to add
a player to your team (as long as 12 roster spots aren't consumed).
Let's face it. We aren't NBA players. You can't trade a player for the
same value
and there hasn't been one player traded to another team for another
player.
Most of the time, players just leave their old team and show up for new
teams.
It's more for the players if you think about it. From a player's
standpoint, they're
thinking is... "I don't like my team, I'm just going to trade teams." We
haven't seen
GM's trade players so this is more of a player feature.
Personally, I think it's unfair for players to leave their team without
telling them
why they're leaving. When I left Phenoms last season, I did tell my GM
why I was
leaving and it worked out for both sides. I got more playing time and
uh.. Phenoms
almost made the Playoffs.
WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT SEASON?
The trade feature is one of the most exciting features in the 1st half of
the season.
There are pros and cons and a lot of the issues have been addressed to
me.
The activity was never this high as far as player movement goes and we're
still
working out the kinks. Here are some of the new rules we're adding in
regards
to trades.
- PLAYERS who leave their current team must fill out an EXIT
INTERVIEW form
for the current team. Yes, that's right, fill out an EXIT INTERVIEW
FORM for your
old team. If this isn't filled out properly, you cannot play for
your new team. I've
heard of instances where players don't even return GMs phone calls
to explain
to them why they're leaving the team (NO NAMES MENTIONED). Imagine
this...
before the season started, you tried desperately to play for that
team. You
promise them you're dedicated and you'll change the franchise
around. You
leave the team after they paid for your fees and you don't have the
decency to
return their phone call? Before you try that again (NO NAMES
MENTIONED), you
better fill out this Exit Interview from your former team.
- 1 WEEK WAITING PERIOD for players to play from one team to
another.
Perfect example is Terrence Martin who played for Vestige
last Sunday.
Under this new rule, he would have to wait until the following week
to play with
his new team. It was unfair for Bank to have to play against Money
Inc not
knowing Terrence Martin was going to show up against them. It
was unfair for
Team Splash to play against Stunners with Derek DeVan
showing up out of
nowhere.
DURRTY DOZEN.
As a reminder, teams
ONLY GET 12 ROSTER SPOTS.
YOU CANT CROSS
OUT NAMES AND ADD NEW NAMES. Those names are permanent on your
roster.
LA>SD, our traveling team that plays in the San Diego Division is capped
out.
The rule says 12 roster spots.
We had
6
players show up first week,
4
players shows up the following week
and we picked up two random guys at the gym. Those random guys are
stuck on our roster. Rodney Ching was injured in our first game
and we can't
just cross him out and add a new name. That's what 12 roster spots are
for.
If you're out of roster spots, well it will make you think twice in the
future about
adding the right players to your team.
What's funny is those two random guys checked in and are listed as
numbers
with no names. Now you tell me... am I really going to show up in San
Diego with
two of our real players to replace those two random players and break my
own rules? I've gotten techs but breaking my own rules,
NEVER.
