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

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 12/12/2004)

 

 

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:

 

  • October 17, 2008 – rookie/free-agent draft lottery resolved
  • October 24, 2008 – preseason began
  • October 24, 2008 – new league members are working out a time prior to 11/1 for the expansion draft
  • October 29, 2008 at 7:00pm Pacific Time – expansion draft via AIM chat room

  • November 1, 2008 at 8:00am Pacific Time – rookie/free-agent draft via AIM chat room; all teams at 16-18 by draft’s end
  • November 3, 2008 at 9:00pm Pacific Time – deadline for drafting players from remaining rookie/free-agent pool
  • The remainder of the dates are subject to when Strat releases the computer game
  • Approximately one week after the game is released – games missed lists and trading deadline
  • 1-2 days after games missed lists – start of the season

 

 

 

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 gpl’s 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 season’s 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 coach’s schedule then that coach may not play a part of or a full practice game against that team using

  that team’s gameplan for that game; for example, if team WAL has an unplayed home game on the schedule against SUN then WAL may not

  import SUN’s gameplan designed for that game and play a part of or a full practice game against SUN’s 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.
