Official 2015 Ozcardtrader All Time NBA Draft
Rules-
1. Draft- The objective here is to draft the greatest basketball team possible from a pool of every professional basketball player who has played in the NBA/ABA. This will be a TWELVE round snake draft, with randomized draft order prior to the beginning of the draft (using random.org)...
2. Roster- Every team roster will include the following TWELVE positions to be drafted. A player must have spent at least 1/2 of his career at your position of choice-

3. Drafting Rules- To ensure the draft moves along, I will impose a strict twelve hour draft clock for every pick. If you fail to make your pick during the twelve hour window, your team will be skipped. If your team is skipped twice in the draft, you will be replaced in the draft by a new owner. If you are skipped, you may make your pick at any moment after your draft window is expired, however, you run the risk of the next team drafting a player that you wished to draft.
Also, if you know you are going to be gone for your next pick and do not want to be skipped, you may send a proxy list of players you would like to draft to me, via pm. Also, because sending a proxy list will speed up the draft process, the other team owners and I as commissioner will appreciate it.
4. Drafting Formating and Etiquette- Please format all picks in the following way:
["round number"."pick number"] "Team Name" Select- "Player Name", "Player Position"
EXAMPLE- [1.1] San Antonio Spurs Select- Michael Jordan, SG
Also, members are required to send a pm to the next team to notify them that it is their turn. When you do send a pm, please say so under your draft pick. If for whatever reason you cannot format or pm next, please indicate that and I will do so ASAP, but please, do not abuse it...
5. Maintaining Rosters- I will maintain a draft sheet on the second post, to list all draft choices by pick and also by position. I ask that all of you however maintain your current roster on this seperate thread [here] in a single, edited post in order for everybody to be able to look over all teams individually. Other rules about maintaining the rosters will be available on this seperate thread.
6. Draft Completion- Once the draft is complete and all teams have a full roster, teams will be randomized (again using random.org) into FOUR seperate divisions (Blue, Green, Black, and Red Divisions), each containing five teams. Each team owner will then be reponsible to vote for the top two teams in each division, minus their own (Meaning an owner of a team in Red Division would only vote for the top two teams in Blue, Green, and Black Divisions). This will lead to a eight team playoff in which all owners vote for the winners of each round, until two remain - a conference champion from each side. In case of a tiebreaker, the teams will be randomed.
7. All Time Draft Winner - The final two teams will enter a fantasy simulation to determine the eventual winner. Using whatifsports.com or similar to simulate a best of 7 game series.
OFFICAL DRAFT ORDER (SNAKE RULES APPLY)

***NOTE***
The offical draft clock will begin at 12pm Melbourne time, Friday, March 27th. However, if you are available to draft and it is your turn (starting with the number one pick of course), then feel free to pick right away. Same rules still apply, please format picks correctly and message the next person in line. But the twelve hour draft clock will not begin until the time noted above...
