MISCELLANEOUS
RULES
* The Press defense (which of course if optional) may only be used for no more
than a total of 12:00 minutes in any one game and never when ahead by 10+
points (if the press is on and you go ahead by 10+ points then call timeout and
take off the press)
* You cannot play on offense a player out of position as indicated on the web
page roster. A player may not play any position unless the roster indicates
that he may play that position. This includes a SG -- he can't play PG unless
the roster lists him at PG. As another example, a player listed on the web page
roster at 45 (PF/C) may not play SF on offense.
* You cannot assign on defense a player out of position as indicated on the
roster. As an example, your PF may not be assigned to guard the opposing SF
unless your PF is also rated at SF. The only exceptions to this are that your
SG may be assigned to guard the opposing PG and your PG may be assigned to
guard the opposing SG.
FOR AN AWAY GAME
* When you are about to begin creating an away gameplan make sure that you set
the proper players eligible. Match the *Day #* of the game you are about to
play (the day # is listed in the sombkw game schedule) with the *Days Missed
List* on the roster page to see which players are eligible for that game.
Setting an ineligible player as eligible with 0 minutes will not be sufficient
as the computer may put this player in the game and this is not allowed so
simply set as ineligible everyone who is ineligible for that game. Do not pay
any attention to the "Games Missed List" you sent me or else you may
become confused as I have converted this to the Days Missed List which should
be used by everyone (if you see any mistakes to the Days Missed List please let
me know).
* When you are setting your team the way you want (eligible players, lineups,
fastbreak, players positioned inside, etc.) if you fiddle around with some of
the numbers make sure that:
a) If you modify the total minutes played of any player to zero then make sure
his Blk minutes are also zero (or else the game may crash);
b) You are not allowed to modify the InPct of any player who is rated at 0% (may
not play inside) or at 100% (must play inside)
* After you set your team the way you want (including the defensive profile of
your opponent, if you choose to set this) then Export Computer Manager and make
sure to name the file with the proper format:
File name format: AAAHHHxx
where AAA is the away team, HHH is the home team, and xx is the Day #. For
example, for Walnut Creek at Sunnyvale on day 6 the filename would be WALSUN06
* After you have created all of your gameplan files for the entire first
quarter of the season (approximately 7-13 files) then please zip them up into a
single file and e-mail that file to me -- I will post that file on the web page
for people to download when they want
* If you want to send individual gameplans to individual opponents that is okay
but please do not cc me on those gameplans as I will only download and post the
full group of your gameplan files; also, if you do send individual gameplans to
opponents then there is no way for me to verify that your opponent used the
gameplan you sent and if there is a dispute (which is unlikely) you would
probably be out of luck; regardless, I will need you to zip up all of your away
gameplan files into a single file and e-mail that to me before the deadline (I
will post the deadline)
FOR A
HOME GAME updated
a) Highlight somiba league,
click on Game, click on New Scheduled;
b) Highlight the day and
game you want to play, change it to Manual, and click on Play Today;
c) On the next screen click
on Manual;
d) On the next screen make
sure the visiting team is Computer Coaches while your team is Human Coaches and
then click Continue;
e) On the next screen
computer manager for visitor click on Import and then highlight your opponent's
gpl file and click Open, click Ok;
f) On the next screen
computer manager for your team make sure that you have
set your correct players as eligible and click Ok;
g) Play the game.
1) For a game you play once
you have completed the game then make sure to view the box score, click
Save As, and save the boxscore (either as an rtf file or html either way is
fine) with the appropriate filename
such as walsun06. You will not use this
file unless a problem occurs with step 2 and you do not need to save the play
account file unless you want to.
2) Go to your sombkw\print folder, find the html file which was created by
the game, and rename the file to the appropriate filename such as
walsun06.html. This file includes the
boxscore and the play account.
3) Go to your sombkw\export folder and find the gfl file which was
created by the game. It should have a
filename something like 2002I WAL @ SUN 11-11.gfl. Do not
rename this file. If you rename this
file then that just makes things more difficult for me.
4) (Optional only for advances users): Go to your sombkw\summary folder and find the
txt file and the sum file created by the game; you may want to rename these to
the appropriate filenames such as walsun06.txt or walsun06.sum.
5) Create a zip file containing: a)
the file you renamed in step #2 and b) the file you found in step #3. Make sure that these files have the same date
and time as each other (within a few minutes) which will equal the time you
finished the game. Name the zip file
with the appropriate filename such as walsun06.zip. Optional:
if you would like to also include in the zip file the two files from
step #4 feel free to do so.
6) Send this zip file to me
and to your opponent within the same e-mail.
If the zip file does not
contain both the gfl file and the boxscore html file then I will not accept the
result from you and you may be required to manually create (using the sombkw
game) the file you dont have.
Please do not delay in following the above procedures
fully. If you wait then it is possible
that files may be overwritten and your game result may be lost.
FOR A
HEAD-TO-HEAD GAME (including via
NetMeeting)
Consult the league
Constitution for the section on face-to-face play. The zip file result must be sent by the home
coach to the road coach and also to me within the same e-mail, the same as for
a non-head-to-head game.
