Welcome to the SOMIBA! We are a draft keeper league for Strat-O-Matic computer basketball and are in our 11th
season.
Here is our message
board: http://www.stratfanforum.com/forums/. Scroll down to SOMIBA and please feel free
to post!
Charles has created an
additional league web page. Please check
it out at SOMIBA Lifetime Stats
2008 Unofficial NBA Stats for
SOMIBA Teams (sent by
Philip C. 5/30/2008)
Here is a link to a recap of rules and procedures for
participating in the league (sort of a synopsis of portions of the
Constitution):
Rules Recap (updated
The home coach is
responsible for zipping up the html boxscore and gfl game result into a single zip file and e-mailing that
zip
file to me NFLed@aol.com and also to the away coach within
the same e-mail. The zip file name
should be in the format
aaahhhxx.zip; for
example WALSUN04 for game WAL at SUN on day 04 or ADALEX32 for ADA at LEX on
day 32.
2008-09 Season Dates:
Note that game results may
not (by league rules) be imported until at least 24 hours after being
received. I will acknowledge
all game results sent to me with "received"
but I usually won't check the validity of game results until I attempt to
import them
(at
least 24 hours after I receive them) at which point I'll let you know if
there's a problem.

* EC = Executive Committee
** AIM Name is optional but required
if participating live in a draft or if interested in playing any games via Netplay
Beginning with the 2007-08
season:
* Teams which did not make
the playoffs last season may keep 10-12 players at the cut deadline, teams
which made the playoffs but did not
make it to the semi-finals (final four) may
keep 10-11 players at the cut deadline, teams which made it to the semi-final
playoffs must keep
10 players at the cut deadline (this was
voted on and approved by the EC)
* There will always be 24
teams playing in the league each season, if any of those teams are un-owned
then their home games will be
autoplayed and all
of their gpls will be hand-created (by the
Commissioner) although the set defensive profile will not be adjusted and they
will not be customized for their opponent;
un-owned teams will be disqualified from playoff participation (this was
approved by the EC)
* New coaches in their first
season of participation with their own team may not trade the player taken in
the 1st round of their expansion draft
nor may they trade the next seasons 1st
round rookie/free-agent draft pick (this was voted on and approved by the EC)
* Un-owned teams (if any)
will be drafted by humans, there will be no computer drafting (this was
approved by the EC)
* Players whose shooting
tendencies are rated **** and who are not completely blank on 3-point attempts
will have their set defensive profile
set to 2 (normal defense) by default when the
league file is created, this may be changed by any coach who uses set defensive
profile so is
just a default (this was voted on and
approved by the EC)
* If a team was run by a
human for at least 2/4 of the season and was run by a human for the final 1/4
of the season and that human would be
running the team in the playoffs then if that
team qualifies for the playoffs that most recent human would run the team in
the playoffs; If a team
qualifies for the playoffs but does not fit
the above then that team would be disqualified from playoff participation and
there would be one fewer
team in the playoffs
Beginning with the 2006-07
season:
* Whenever one team is being
controlled by the computer (typically the visiting team) the other team must
have at least one PF or C positioned
inside on offense at all times; this does not
apply to games played live via netplay; this rule
will likely be removed if in a future version Strat
fixes the computer gameplan
to allow the defense to keep its inside block defender back to provide block
support against an outside player;
this rule passed 13-6 on a message board vote
* If there is an unplayed home game on a coachs schedule then that coach
may not play a part of or a full practice game against that team using
that teams gameplan
for that game; for example, if team WAL has an unplayed
home game on the schedule against SUN then WAL may not
import SUNs gameplan designed for that game and play a part of or a
full practice game against SUNs gameplan;
this rule passed 16-2 on
a message board vote
* Any player who played less
than 16 games or less than 100 minutes in the previous NBA season is not
eligible to play in the playoffs; however,
a player who played more than 300 minutes in
the previous NBA season is eligible to play in the playoffs (only 1 game per
series if under 16
games per rule in the Constitution); this
rule passed 16-0 on a message board vote
* Number of playoff teams =
12; this was chosen by a 12-8 message board vote over having 10 playoff teams
Note for the 2005-06 season:
* The new use board game
rules for v3 will not be used and emphasize individual defense will not be used
* 12 teams make the playoffs
(instead of the previous number of 10)
Beginning with the 2004-05
season:
* Increased roster size to
16-18 (8 rounds of rookie/free-agent draft), 16 is minimum while 18 is maximum
* Increased minutes
eligibility multiplier to 110% (instead of 105%) for players with 750+ minutes
* Balanced schedule hand
created by Jason, day 22 ends q1, day 44 ends q2, day 66 ends q3, and day 88
ends q4
Beginning with the 2002-2003
season:
* I will always wait at
least 24 hours before importing a result and I will not accept results which do
not include the prt and gfl
file and which are
sent both to me and to the
visiting coach within the same e-mail.
If you would like to protest any result then that should be done via
e-mail less
than 24 hours after the
initial result is received or else the game result will be imported and the
protest will likely not be upheld (or if it is then it
will not result in a game
replay). There is a new tie-breaker
system which uses NBA tie-breakers, see Jason's web page for details.
Note: I no longer have a play drive and a
league drive so when I play games it is with the official league. Consequently, I have no way of
holding a game result I play
for 24 hours and no reasonable way to back out or delete a game I play. If there are any protests upheld in a
game I play then the EC will
need to decide what to do based upon this.
