Sky Hook Rotisserie Basketball League

 

Welcome to what for some of us is our fourth rotisserie sport. This one is designed to be a low budget, fun, time filler during the baseball off-season. With that said, let me roll out the rules for our 19th season.

MEMBERSHIP

We will field 6-10 teams to be bought at auction.

AUCTION

The season normally starts on the last Tuesday in October. The auction will be normally be held on the weekend prior to the start of the season at my house. Call me if you need directions. Teams will consist of 20 players to be bought for a total of $80.

The auction will follow our standard format and the minimum bid will be $0.25 with $0.25 increments.

A fee of $120 will be collected from each team before the auction commences so that I don’t have to chase down money during the season.

RESERVE LIST

Immediately following the auction a 5 round random order draft will be held to give each team some injury flexibility during the season. Draft order for the 2nd round will reverse that of the first and so on for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

CATEGORIES

Our teams will be evaluated in 6 evenly weighted categories:

1.   Points scored

2.   Rebounds

3.   Assists

4.   Steals

5.   Blocked shots

6.   3-pt field goals made

 

Teams will accumulate their totals in each category throughout the year. Updated totals and standings will be issued daily and made available to all teams on our web site. Jeff Buchoff will get his auction fee credited towards his baseball team in return for providing this wonderful service.

WEEKLY PLAY

Each week teams will choose 16 of their 20 roster players to be active. Scratches should be made by phone (to my home) or email by 12 noon on Monday of each week. Teams not sending email will be assumed to have scratched the same players as the previous week. There is no fee for this weekly change. I will email a weekly transaction update to everyone.

TRANSACTIONS

1.       RESERVE LIST- The reserve list’s main purpose is to protect a team from being blown out by injuries. However, I don’t want to be the arbiter of what constitutes an injury. Therefore, a team may make a 1 to 1 switch of a roster player for a reserve player at any time for a fee of $10. This price should discourage frivolous moves.

 

2.       TRADES- Trades may be made freely by all teams prior to the last uncalled traveling violation of the NBA all-star game. After this time trades may only be made by teams within 3 points of each other in the standings until March 1st.  No trades shall be made after this date. Trades are FREE and may be unbalanced.  However, all teams must have a maximum of 20 players on their roster. Extra players are assigned to that teams reserve list. Reserve list players may be traded but the $10 fee would still have to be paid to elevate them to another team’s roster. Trades need to be called in to the machine by both teams prior to 12 noon on Mondays.

 

3. TRADE RULES FOR 2009-2010

a.   A maximum of 4 players may be involved in any deal.

b.   No 3 for 1 trades are allowed.

c.   Teams may trade with the same team only twice. One deal may be made before the 2nd chance auction and one after.

 

4.       ALL-STAR SECOND CHANCE AUCTION-

       On the Sunday of all-star weekend a mini-auction will be held. Teams may dump up to 4 of their players and bid for an equal number of players from a pool of dumped and originally unbought players. Teams may spend no more than the total salary of the players they have dumped. Teams may NOT buy back players that they have dumped. If you cut a guy, say sayonara to him. Cuts will be made just before the draft.
