Nobody is arguing that teams shouldn't have 20,000 minutes - it's a fact that
we all need 20,000. The discussion is about how we should get there. Is 15
players enough to do it? Up until this year, SOMIBA allowed 18 players per/team
to get to that 20,000. All I'm saying is forcing teams to get to 20,000 minutes
with just 15 players (and not including any of the additional 10% minutes that
they are allowed to play) is going to be difficult for all 24 teams.
I'm in another Strat basketball league (that I was Commissioner of for around
20 years)... and when we had 24 teams in the league with strict minutes
requirements, in some cases we had coaches that were trading away lottery picks
in the first round of the R/FA draft just to get a player with more minutes to
meet the requirements (and often times they guy they traded for was out of the
league in 2 or 3 years... cause they had to trade for an older player). Or in
other cases, they would just make a bad draft pick cause they would be forced
to put too much emphasis on just meeting a minutes requirement rather than
trying to build the best team they could (with fair rules).

20,000 minutes does not seem that difficult to reach – it’s about what you need
to have a team. 48 minutes/game x 82 games x 5 positions = 19,680 minutes.
Throw in some overtimes and you’re at 20,000 minutes. Seems like a team should
have at least that many minutes.

Well, several of us still have a ways to go to get to 20,000 (and all of the
high minute players are going to get picked up quickly now that we are
discussing this issue and several of us need quite a bit). And the problem
is... if we force coaches to make trades just to get minutes... they will be
forced to make bad trades to overpay just for the minutes. I'm not saying we
shouldn't have a minutes requirement - we should. But it shouldn't be too
difficult for all 24 teams to reach (or for a handful of teams to stock-pile
high minutes players just to force others to make bad trades).
Just my opinion.

I found that I have way over 20,000 minutes already. Maybe you’ll have to make
some trades to get you there. That may help you.

Jason,
I appreciate the reminders.
I don't know if other teams are in a similar conundrum, but even if I were to
draft all of the highest minute players available for the remainder of the
draft, I will still not approach 19,680 minutes. After 11 rounds, my team
minutes total is 10,924. Perhaps we should implement a taxi squad for use by
teams short of minutes, to allow them to use undrafted players to fill in
unallocated minutes. These players could be the worst quality cards and would
not be retained by the applicable teams.......just bodies for minutes.

Just to clarify, your “M82” column in the rosters sheet in the workbook is
required to add to 19,680 (i.e. 20,000) total minutes for each team for the
season. This is the prorated games played over 82 games rounded up.

Hello Coaches,
Just a reminder that coaches are expected to draft 20,000 total minutes before
the 10% bonus to participate in the regular season. At this point coaches need
to be drafting for minutes if they have not reached the minimum total needed
minutes.
There are still 45 players available with 1000 minutes or more which should
take us through round 5 if they were drafted with the next 45 picks. Then are
there are another 24 players with almost 800 minutes up to 1000. Finally, there
are another 24 players with 600 to almost up to 800 minutes. 1000 x 2 + 900 +
700 would gives another 3600 minutes to the 8 players that you started with
plus the players from the three rounds we have completed so far.
Thanks,
Jason
