Overview
Do you think you have what it takes to be a real NBA GM or an NBA Agent? Are
you looking for a different basketball experience? If so then welcome to
PASPN.net's Offseason and Real-time Fantasy Basketball game, the first fantasy
basketball experience governed by the rules of the NBA's collective bargaining
agreement (CBA).
During the offseason play, your goal as an NBA GM is to re-tool your team for
the up and coming NBA Fantasy Regular season. As an NBA Agent, your goal is to
make sure your clients needs are being answered whether they are a free agent
and in need of a new contract or looking to get bought out of their existing
contract.
During regular season play, NBA GMs compete head-to-head in an NBA-like
18-week schedule declaring an 8-man rotation throughout the game week. NBA
Agents compete for points to see who has the best set of clients.
Our job at PASPN.net is to make sure you relax and have fun. While you sit
back and watch your team progress through the season, we do all the hard
work of gathering statistics, computing point totals, and updating standings.

Game Play/Schedule
The offseason portion of fantasy basketball begins in July and ends in early
October. The Real-time portion of fantasy basketball begins on October 28, 2008
and ends in April 14, 2009.
Sign-ups are conducted between July and October
28th, 2008.
The Head-to-Head competition for NBA GMs are from Tuesday
thru Monday night games. The first day of head-to-head competition is October
28th, 2008. Every league will have a bye week the week of February 10, 2009 in
observance of the NBA All-star weekend. Head-to-Head competition will resume
February 17, 2009 thru March 9, 2009 games. The Playoffs will resume immediately
March 10, 2009 and will end April 6th, 2009.
For NBA Agents, points are
decided by their clients performance throughout the season. Their clients MUST
be in a GMs lineup in order for the Agent to receive any points. The good thing
about this is that the Agent player does not have to do anything during the
regular season. The bad thing is that they are relying on the GMs to make sure
they put their players in their lineup. Top
Scoring PASPN.net uses a version of
the NBA's Efficiency Stat Points as the games fantasy point system.
(( (PTS + TRB + AST + STL + BLKS) - ( (FGA - FGM) + (FTA -
FTM) + TOV )) * PASPN.net) / G = FBPPG = Fantasy Basketball Points Per Game
The better your players perform in real-life games, the more points they earn for your
Fantasy NBA team or Sports Agency. Top
Rotation/Lineups/Player Eligibility
GMs - Throughout a head-to-head competition during the week, GMs will have
the opportunity to declare an 8-man rotation. The 8-man rotation will consist of
a Center, Power Forward, Small Forward, Shooting Guard, Point Guard, Sixth Man
and two Flex players. Depending on the players position, players will be
eligible for particular spots. The Sixth Man, Flex 1 and Flex 2 positions can be
filled with any active player on a GMs roster as long as the player is under
contract. The other positions are must be played by players who are assigned
that position For instance, players who have a position of "C" are eligible
for the Center position, however a player who is a "F|C" can play
Center, Power Forward and Small Forward. a player who is a "G|F" can
player Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward and Power Forward.
Players are eligible for slots every day up to the time the player is
scheduled to play their game during that day. After tip-off, The player will not
be eligible to be assigned to any slot in the 8-man rotation until their next
NBA game. Two players cannot start at the same position.
Agents - The beauty of being an agent is that the majority of your work is
done in the offseason. During the regular season, it is up to the GMs who have
your players to put your clients into their lineup in order to get points Top
