We are confirming game times with gym directors.
SCHEDULE WILL BE FINALIZED as of FRIDAY, 5 p.m.
AROUND THE
LEAGUE - RECAPS Done by Thursday morning. All writers,
please have recaps done by Wednesday so that
everyone can read them by Thursday morning. It's
early since it says we'll have it done by
Thursday Night... but someone will find a way to
complain about the grammar or a name not being
capitalized =) jk
GAME LOGS
Because Monday was busy for me, I had someone
else do game logs. There were a lot of typos
because well... that's what shows up on our game
logs. People, we're adults yet some of us write
like 3rd graders. Please type up your roster so
that it's legible. We need last names, please.
DURRRRTY-THIRTY We have a couple of teams register late and
GOLD DIVISION NOW HAS 30 TEAMS.
I don't think anyone will complain if I announce
that the Playoffs will have 16 teams qualify.
Sweet 16 for Gold Division??? I don't think
anyone will complain, so let's do it.
ROUND TABLE
At our round table on Sunday Nights, we discuss
league issues, we discuss Player of the Week
players, we discuss everything going on in the
league. Some of us are writing previews at 5
a.m. and don't end their day until 11 p.m. on
Sunday nights. Sometimes I have typos because
well... working 20 hours straight will do that,
I'll get home at 1 a.m. and I'm still typing on
the computer. Please e-mail me instead of
posting it on MySpace when I have errors. The
forums are okay, but MySpace is just for trash
talk.

Commish BIRTHDAY EDITION 1.12.09
Just want to thank everyone for the birthday
wishes. Hitting 30 next year... and when they
say 30 is the new 20, they're lying to you.
SSTV
- COMMISH'S CORNER 4 The video compilation of my party days was
to show the other, younger side of me in my
party days. During college, before Superstar
Basketball, I was "livin it up", partying,
drinking, doing things all college kids do. I
pretty much embarrassed myself all the time
because well... alcohol does that to you.
As much as I like to crack jokes on people, I
can take it too. I posted the most embarrassing
moment of my life just to show humility.
Drinking really makes you look umm.. well the
video sums it up. After college, I thought I"d
have a career in networking but I got
distracted, partied... and it wasn't until I
gave all that up that I was blessed with
Superstar Basketball. You gotta fail in order to
succeed...
ONTARIO HIGH SCHOOL There was miscommunication somewhere along
the line. It's being resolved. I want to thank
all the teams who were patient and the gym
situation is being handled accordingly.
The new 24 shot clock is getting shipped. Not
sure what the deal was in ASC but that 24 shot
clock should have been working.
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
Zebras are never perfect. We are never perfect.
I saw two questionable calls yesterday... and I
got 1 of them on video. I can't overturn games,
I'm not a ref. What I can do is re-assign your
team to another location or if other refs are
available, have them officiate your games.
SCHEDULE THIS
WEEK I'll have the game logs up by tomorrow, TOP
5 Games written up tomorrow, the rest of the
recaps by Thursday. NO SORTABLE stats until Week
3, and I'm getting all the logos updated by the
end of the week. SSTV should be up by Friday,
Noon. This week, schedule is FINAL AS OF
WEDNESDAY, 9 p.m.
IF YOU'RE FREE... ...come down to RA Sushi, Chino Hills at
9:30 p.m.
Thanks.

Commish GM MEETING 1.9.09
Last day of Registration is today!!
No teams will be allowed to register after
today. Unlike in the season's past where we
allowed team to join after Week 2, Week 3, we
won't allow teams to join in the middle of the
season.
RULES UPDATED The new rules that were passed at the GM
Meeting can be found under the rules section.
For your convenience, the new rules are also
listed below.

games in order to play in the Playoffs
+ 15
minute grace period game time then
clock starts running. If team does
not show up by halftime, it's a
forfeit.
+ 4
players are required to start a game
regardless of what division.
+ 15
player roster for ALL DIVISIONS.
+
Playoff format changed for Gold
Division.
- Current format had 1 vs (5
vs. 12)and 2 vs (6 vs. 11)...
-
New format would have 1 vs (8 vs
9)... 2 vs. (7 vs10)
+
Technical fouls for jersey
infractions will be called after
Week 3.
+
80's List - GMs are required to

receive a returning team price for
the upcoming season ($340). Only
current teams will qualify for
"Early Bird Discount".
Teams not
participating in the current season
are not eligible for Returning Team
prices.
SSTV EPISODE
I was going to look back on the Summer 2008
season but back then, our video camera didn't
support our mic and the audio quality really
sucked. Instead, I made a video on umm... well,
you have to see it. If I don't have it tonight,
I'll post it up tomorrow because uh... well...
you gotta see it.
TEAM PICTURES FROM LAST SEASON They'll be up in 2 weeks. I wanted to forget
about last season that I put a lot of time into
making this one of the best seasons yet. With
that said, I'll start working on it in 2 weeks.
WALL OF FAME ...it's coming. I'm waiting until the end of
registration to unveil it. There's a delay on it
because of the point system I have set up and I
know a lot of people will have suggestions on
it.
REMINDERS
+ Sortable stats aren't available the first 2
weeks. We're still getting everyone's names in
the system. There's no sense in sorting out
stats when there's only 1 game played. =Þ
+ Please make your schedule requests in the
forums, not through my e-mail. Sometimes I have
a staff member making changes... and they don't
have access to my e-mail. Please do your
requests in the forums. Week 2 is already
up...say what?
PEACE and see you all on Sunday... or
Saturday... and Monday too.

Commish GM MEETING 1.5.09
I want to thank the General Managers who made an
effort to come out to yesterday's GM Meeting. We
had a pizza party and made fun of Reggie and
Omar, his BFF, and Reggie ate the whole pizza so
it was just a party without the pizza and we had
such a blast... Oh you HAD to be there! =Þ
Seriously though, we discussed a lot of the
rules that were going into effect this season. A
lot of the forfeit procedures were discussed and
I will have a print out of the RULES on every
stat table when the season starts.
Anytime someone complains about the rules... all
you're going to hear from me is January 4,
2009. Throughout the season, I hear a
lot of gibberish (yes gibberish) ... and it gets
annoying after awhile especially when it comes
from players who have nothing better to do than
whine.
We did our part by providing you a forum were
you can voice out your stance on the rules and
changes for this season. Rules were discussed,
Playoff formats were changed and the rules are
being re-written.
DIVISION TYPE PLAYERS Players page is updated... 80's List is
updated.
Diamond Division type players can't play in
Gold... *ehem*
Thank You and... LAKERS ARE #1
P.S.
BOSTON SUCKS.
