Hi Jason: I do not know anything about the rating guide. It looks like the
SOM game is not released until 11/1 and the draft is all before that. Do I
need the rating guide to have a shot at drafting the right players for a
successful team? In the SOM Hockey league I am in, the draft started about a
week after the SOM game was released, so I was able to export all the player
ratings and prepare that way. It seems like in basketball I'd need the ratings
guide. Is there a cost to it? Is it electronic? I think I need to order one.
Thanks.

Subject: [somiba] 2020-21 Rating Guide
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let those of you interested in the 2020-21 Rating Guide know
that I plan to go live on October 1 by start sending out orders as I receive
them, and I have already received several. If you are interested in the guide
keep in mind that the earlier you get your order in the sooner I will be able
to get it out to you. For those of you unfamiliar with the guide, I should have
samples posted on the website. The Rating Guide contains a preview of the
player ratings and includes shot column calculations and passing column
calculations that you can use to compare the halfcourt and fastbreak passing
columns. The 2020-21 guide also includes the Total Card Values which is an
attempt to provide the value of a player's card per 48 minutes by assigning
value to each rating on their card. Since the ratings are referenced
differently at each of the 5 positions, the values are listed for each position
from 1 on down. To compare the compare players at different positions, you can
use the Z-Score for each player. The TCV's can also be used to compare the
strength of one roster against another and I have used it in the Classic80 for
several years now to predict the final league standings and it has done a good
job. The guide will also include Top 50 (or so) at each category. A great tool
to help you with your draft prep since we are having such a large draft this
season!
