Our unique services for teams include: archive of all games, customization of team logos, game previews in our weekly newsletter, and the chance for teams to order personalized basketball jerseys.

HEAVILY UPDATING


- I'm moving all the Commish's Corner to ABOUT US. I'd rather have it posted here than on Lifestyle since it's more convenient. I'll be heavily updating this page over the weekend.
- DON'T FORGET TO GO THE GM MEETING. If you want changes before the season starts, now is your time to do so. When you b*tch and whine about the referees and the rules during the season, I will laugh at you and blog about it right after. The GM Meeting is the time and place for me to hear about your suggestions and your complaints. I have e-mailed everyone regarding the meeting and I have also posted it in our FORUMS.

Thanks.
P.S. Sorry to be anal, I'm almost 30, let's get down to business.

Peace.
 

WALNUT REC, FUTURE GYMS


- Season XV will begin on January 10, 2010. Teams who pay first will get priority scheduling, priority gyms. Please sign up in our FORUMS to request for game times. SCHEDULE is final as of Wednesday. I have to be strict with this because I have no control over the schedule after Friday Morning, seriously.

- We will have evening hours at Walnut Rec, all January. That means 5-6 games in the Evening. We have several sites in the local area that should be available to us.

- February 7 - 14 might be a mini-break for SSBL. Feb 7 is Superbowl Weekend and gyms do not want to rent out their facilities in fear of drunk driving. We've tried to schedule games during Superbowl Sunday but we have no control over it. February 14 in on Sunday. I doubt anyone wants to play on Valentine's Day, you know what I'm sayin? LOL. But seriously, it's a Holiday Weekend and NBA All Star Weekend. It's going to be tough to schedule teams to play.

- As of February 21, we should have a full schedule at Walnut Gym.

Thanks. 

CLEANING UP THE MAIN PAGE


New season, new decade. Some of the suggestions that people had in the past seasons is to clean up the main page. There's a lot of clutter and people get lot with so much information.

Some of the IMPORTANT THINGS regarding the content of the website...

I will be moving several features around.
- PLAYER OF THE WEEK has been moved to PLAYERS tab.  
   Instead of looking back, week after week, you can easily go to the Players
   page and check out the Players of the Week archive.
- Commish's Corner will be re-located either to the About Us Section or to
   Lifestyle. I'm not sure where to move it to yet, which page do you guys check
   more? Send me an e-mail, let me know.
- The scoreboard will be more condensed and it will be located on the bottom of
   the LINKS section.


RULES THAT WON'T CHANGE.
- No Playoffs for LeBronze. If I had a dollar for every time people suggested
  having Playoffs for LeBronze. It's true recreation, we will not have Playoffs.
- Teams that split off in LeBronze are allowed to make their own LeBronze team
  AS LONG AS THERE ARE 3 players from the team last season.
- NO DIAMOND DIVISION players in GOLD Division.

RULES THAT WILL CHANGE.
- No more co-GMS. We all know people just do it for the loopholes so that they
  can play in LeBronze. If you want this rule change, then you better say
  something at the GM Meeting.

- Registration Fees must be PAID UP FRONT. For two seasons in a row, we've
  had to delay the season because some teams lagged on payment. The whole
  league suffers when teams lag on payment, so why should we wait for the
  laggers. Once you have paid registration fees up front, you have the rest of
  the season to start saving for next season. By doing it this way, you'll have
  an established team and your players have already paid for their end.

- Roll over your rosters. Yah sounds like a phone plan right. Rosters from your
  last season will roll over and this helps you because let's say on Week 7, some
  of your players are missing. That one guy from last season wants to come back
  and play. Well he's on the roster since you didn't take him off so yes, he can
  play. It's up to you to take him off the roster on Week 1 or Week 2.

Thanks.
 

RE-DESIGNING

We will be re-designing the content of the website for Season XV.
If you have any suggestions, please post here, in our FORUMS.
In the mean time, please read the registration here.
This is a temporary site, until we get a new layout for next season. Thanks.
