As promised, I have created a new form of 'Rotisserie' game. For those of you unfamiliar with Rotisserie Baseball, it is a game in which participants draft players to make up a team. Players are assessed points according to their performance in various statistical categories. Since baseball season is almost over, I have created a game based on 'rotisserie baseball' that I call Dugwal Football. I have devised formulae by which various players can be assessed points. These formulae are used on a group of players drafted by 'owners' and points are allotted. The owner with the most points at the end of the season is the winner! I am submitting this game up to the readers of net.games.pbm and net.sport.football in order to add spice to both newsgroups. Any number of owners can participate. Trades are allowed according to a special player-movement rule. Likewise, releasing players and signing free-agents is also allowed. I feel that this is the area of the game that has the most potential. The following is a synopsis of the rules as I thought them up over the last two weeks. Permission to duplicate them is given as long as proper credit is given and the rules are duplicated in full. ===================================cut here==================================== Rules for Dugwal Football 1) Permission to duplicate these rules is given as long as they are duplicated in full so that this message is included. This game was designed by Carlo Sgro (...!watmath!watrose!cjsgro or ...!ihnp4!chinet!dagwood) on September 12, 1985 for the enjoyment of readers of net.games.pbm and net.sport.football. These rules cannot be used for commercial profit without expressed written consent of the author, Carlo Sgro. 2) There can be an unlimited number of game players (known as 'owners'). 3) Owners draft a team of 7 players consisting of 2 quarterbacks, 2 runningbacks, 2 pass receivers, and 1 placekicker. The draft will be held after each owner submits a list of at least 30 players to the moderator, A random order will be selected for the draft and the draft will be held. The order will be reversed each round until no more players can be selected. The draft list will be of the following format: 1 marino, dan, miami, qb 2 montana, joe, sf, qb 3 allen, marcus, raiders, rb 4 clayton, mark, mia, rcv 5 dickerson, eric, rams, rb 6 anderson, gary, pit, pk 7 fouts, dan, sd, qb etc. Drafting rookies and players who are in other leagues, retired, etc. is legal but points will be calculated on actual NFL statistics. Players who have more than one skill (e.g. Quarterbacks who run a lot or Runningbacks who catch a lot of passes) can be used at any desired position but you can only have a maximum of seven POSITIONS filled. As an example, a team could consist of Marino at QB, White at QB and RB, Wilder at RB and Rcvr, Duper at Rcvr, and Franklin at PK. In this situation, you can decide to not have someone do double duty if you find someone better. 4) An owner's total point value will be determined by the following formula: total_points = .27 * qb1 + .06 * qb2 + .23 * rb1 + .09 * rb2 + .13 * rcv1 + .09 * rcv2 + .13 * pk where qb1 is the quarterback with the highest point value, etc. Thus, your top runningback contributes 23% of your total point value while your backup receiver only contributes 9%. 4) The formulae for calculating the points for each player are as follows: qb: (td - 0.3 * int.) * (pct. completed / 50) * (yds. / 100) rb: (5 * carries + yards + 100 * td) / 5 rcv: (receptions * 20 + yds. + 100 * td) / 5 pk: ( (good fg - (bad fg * .5)) * 3 + good xp - (missed fg * 5)) ) * 5 The average value for an average player will be around 380 at the end of the season. Examples: Dan Fouts: 19 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, 62.5% completion rate, passed for 3740 yds. => (19 - 0.3 * 17)* 62.5 / 50 * 3740 / 100 = 650 Dan Marino: 48, 17, 64.2, 5084 => (48 - .3 * 17) * 64.2 / 50 * 5084 / 100 = 2800 Joe Ferguson: 12, 17, 55.5, 1991 => 152 Marcus Allen: 275 carries, 1168 yards, 13 tds => (5*275 + 1168 + 13*100) /5 = 769 Mike Pruitt: 163, 506, 6 => (5*163 + 506 + 6 * 100) /5 = 384 Mark Duper: 71 receptions, 1306 yds., 8 tds => 705 Cliff Branch: 27, 401, 0 => 188 Tony Franklin: 22 good fg, 6 missed fg, 42 good xp, 0 missed fg => ((22 - 0.5*6) * 3 + 42 - 5*0) * 5 = 495 Uwe von Schamann: 9 good fg, 10 missed fg, 66 good xp, 4 missed xp => ((9 - 0.5*10) * 3 + 66 - 5*4) * 5 = 290 5) These formulae have been formulated based on what statistics are available in The Sporting News weekly and the author's personal preference. No flames please! However, if you feel you have a better formulation, please pass it along. 6) Each owner can make one player movement each week. A player movement is defined as a trade of one or more players with another owner or a signing of a free agent. Three or Four, etc. way trades are not allowed. With each player movement that results in an imbalance of the 2-2-2-1 position split such that there are too many players in a position, player releases must be specified. A player release is not considered a player movement. Player movements not expended in a week can be saved, up to a limit of 3. All above that limit are lost. A free agent is defined as a player who is not owned by an owner at the present time. 'The present time' is defined as the earliest time on the mail header to the moderator announcing the signing. If you are interested in playing this game, please send a reply to: ...!watmath!watrose!cjsgro. Draft lists are not needed at this time, either, although the sooner we can get the draft over with, the sooner the fun can begin! Also, I am willing to moderate but I would prefer if we could get some volunteers to moderate since: a) I don't have much time or disk space. b) The Sporting News is slow to reach Canada. c) I'd like to play! So, what'cha say?!? --- Carlo Sgro ...![ihnp4||decvax||allegra||clyde||utzoo]!watmath!watrose!cjsgro -- --- Carlo Sgro Formerly: ...![ihnp4||decvax||allegra||clyde||utzoo]!watmath!watcgl!electro!carlo Currently: ...!ihnp4!chinet!dagwood And soon to be: ...![ihnp4||decvax||allegra||clyde||utzoo]!watmath!watrose!cjsgro

I will moderate a pbm rotisserie football game for all interested players. I will use Carlos' rules. If you want to play, send me your draft list. I will hold a draft on Wednesday. In the meantime I will work out rule details with Carlos. -- Chuck Simmons chuck@darvax.UUCP ihnp4!dartvax!chuck
