NBA Restart 2020 (winner ... puddleglum)

Postby flexmaster33 on Sun Jul 19, 2020 1:06 am

Welcome to NBA Restart 2020

Anyone that has played one of my sports tournaments before knows that I like to make the CC version resemble the real sport as much as possible. This tourney is designed to take us through an abbreviated NBA season.

Play: 1 vs. 1
Due to the number of games this tourney will be available to premium players only.

Prizes ...
League champ ... puddleglum ... 900 CC credits
League runner-up ... dowian2 ... 250 CC credits
Regular season scoring champ ... mishalex ... 250 CC credits

[b]The season:

It will be an abbreviated 13-game NBA regular season with the playoffs consisting of Best-of-3 series.


ā€¢ Game play: Each coach will play an eight-man rotation (5 starters & 3 bench players) making each game an 8-map showdown. Each player will earn points based on a well-tested scoring formula Iā€™ve conceived.

Win quickly and you will score a big advantage at your position. If the map is a tight battle, the scoring difference will be smaller.



Percentages drop sharply as the rounds advance and play is capped at 11 rounds to prevent running up the score.
* A 5-percent uptick is rewarded if you prevent your opponent from making a card turn in.

ā€¢ Because Iā€™m using a carefully developed scoring formula all maps are preset for each position.

Smaller maps are used for the bench players.

Settings will be flat, chained, foggy.
Rounds are based on the # of rounds reached in the game.
The scoring formula is based on troop accrual during the match.
If player 1 wins in the match (not allowing player 2 a turn in the final round) troops for that round will be reduced to 33%.

Field goals ā€” troops based on regions occupied
Free throws ā€” Territory bonuses + owned card bonuses
3-point shots ā€” Card turn ins + any neutral conquered

Example for a starting SG
You gain 42 armies for regions held during the game, so 42/5 = 8.4 (8 FG attempts)
You gain 7 in bonuses + 4 in owned card bonuses, so 11/5 = 2.2 (2 FT attempts)
You turn in 14 in cards + conquer 4 neutral territories, so 18/5 = 3.6 (4 3P attempts)
I then take you shot attempts and run it through the shot chart for how many rounds the game went.

ā€¢ Whoā€™s your star?
Each coach will be asked to choose a star player out of their starting-fiveā€¦the formula allows this player to put up more shots in a typical game. So choosing the player on the map you are most confident with is the smart move.

(Point guard in the default if you don't designate a "star" player.)

I hope it doesnā€™t sound too confusingā€¦in the end winning the most maps and winning quickly should end in success.

Good luck to all and letā€™s have some fun with it, flex

Any questions, please post in the forum so they can be answered for everyone.

Sign-ups ā€¦
(I will keep sign-ups open through Saturday night, July 25).
Iā€™m hoping to fill all 30 teams, but if we hit the deadline with less, than I will adjust divisions and get it set up to work with whatever number we have.

We're at 8 teams, hoping for some more to come into the mix. Still a couple days to pick your team.
