You know what happens when there's suspensions....
We hold things up for a day.

Game Logs are done, overall stats are done, but you know the deal.

One person gets suspended, we hold things up for a day.

Also, Black Out players have been placed on the '80 List'. Black Out will not be allowed to register a team in the future.

Players playing on other teams cannot participate until a re-instatement fee of $80 is paid off.

Thank You.

I can relate to some of the bad calls because I played in a game where all the bad calls go against us. Seriously, how in the world am I gonna foul Andrew Knox on a jump shot when he's about two feet taller than me? At the same time, I KNOW I have to keep my mouth shut....plain and simple. Rules are rules...and players need to understand that sometimes, they need to keep their mouth shut and just play through it.

Well, the players page has been updated. USUCK Derek DeVan, suspended 1 game, a week after Giyoh Shey was suspended 1 game for Full Clip.

Players have asked why we get t'd up for saying curse words. Well, there's kids in the stands and Sundays are a family event to most of the teams. There's a lot of talking that goes on during the games and some refs will let it go while others won't.

You know what else we do tomorrow, those Exit Interviews.

Lastly, I hope everyone is enjoying Superstar TV. I'll be doing random interviews tomorrow for the Final Season so be ready.

If you haven't registered for The Last Season... you'll be missing out one the best one yet.

Make sure all league fees are fully paid before Sunday. Teams not fully paid will not play and a forfeit will be assessed.

Thanks.

Pay Ref fees and Registration fees upfront:
$320 + 280 = $600

Returning Teams:
$340 + 280 = $620

New Teams:
$380 + 280 = $660
 

Recaps. Will be completed as of Friday night.

Sortable Stats. Will be updated as of Saturday morning. There is a hold up in the system. What's the holdup you ask...

Rule IIa. Roster Management
A team can only utilize a maximum of 12 roster spots. YOU CANNOT EXCHANGE A PLAYER FOR ANOTHER PLAYER.The system is designed so that a team can only have 12 slots. You cannot replace a player that has already played a game OTHERWISE their stats will carry over. 

Elements moved up some players from Decepticons after the Ringer situation because half the team doesn't want to show up and they were trying to avoid a forfeit fee. Well they exceeded the 12 roster slots so, to make it easy for myself, their stats from the past 2 games will not carry over.

This is 1 team, 1 team out of 54 teams. One team will make that much of a difference and this is just the roster management portion. We are well after the deadline and teams are still trying to add players. Let's read the rules, ladies and gentlemen, let's read the rules.

Superstar Basketball's 8th and FINAL SEASON.

The good news. Those that personally know me know that the last time I worked an 8-5 was November last year. I've been looking for another job since then and I'm blessed to have finally found one. I guess I did well specially after showing our website.

The bad news. Well, training starts in 3 weeks and by May 1, I should be working at headquarters - in San Diego. This is a big move for me but the job opportunity is something I can't pass on.

The ugly. For the past few weeks, I've delegated tasks and for some reason the job isn't getting done. When I went on a business trip weeks ago, I trusted people to take care of the previews but we all know how that turned out. Last weekend, same thing and you saw what happened. What's the point of posting game previews after the game started. Duh! I appointed someone to work on the website and look what happens, the score gets switched around (Relics - Money Inc, Team Kellz - High Five). Game logs... same thing, should have been done on Monday afternoon but (no name mentioned) didn't get it done so I should have the game logs up by Tuesday night.

Sorry folks but it seems like every time I ask someone else to get the job done, it gets done halfway. Word actually leaked around on Saturday that I got a new job and friends have asked for me to appoint a new Commish to keep the league running.  I've been assigning simple tasks these past few weeks the job isn't getting done the right way.

I really want to retire Superstar Basketball on top of the game. From the website, stats, Superstar Radio, Superstar TV...I just want to leave the game on top. Those that know me know I'm on the comp all morning and all night. My new job will probably consume over 40 hours of my time so there really isn't a point for me to commute back and forth from Daygo. Financially, we all know how hard it is to collect fees from teams so why bother with that?

There's still 1 more season left so there's really no point in dishing out the ugly side. The Last Season... starts on April 20 and registration begins on March 21. I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to Superstar Basketball, and every player for making Superstar Basketball part of their Sunday. It was a hard for me to let go of something I created but these opportunities don't come along very often.

Thank You,
Hanz Jimenez
