RULES CLARIFICATION!
PAY MORE ATTENTION THAN USUAL!
There is
some question/confusion as to the "must be
used" rule in Article 3.6 of the Bylaws...
3.6.
Each player selected must be used in at least one
game during the regular season. The only exception is
a player that is injured, suspended or released from
the NBA on the Sunday before the last week of the
regular season.
To
clarify, if you play a guy as a 6th man, and he sees any
game action at all (i.e. one of your other guys misses a
game) then that counts as "being used". If you
select a player as a 6th man and he doesn't get used,
then that does not count as "being used". In
other wors, each of your players musts have some NIBL
points by the end of the regular season.
Also, I
had a question about having to use players during the
playoffs. All playes must be used prior to the playoffs
and this rule has no impact on your playoff roster.
Got it?
Any questions? Excellent.
Well, week
6 marks the end of the inter-conference (that's, games
between teams from different conferences playing each
other, for those owners north of the Illinois-Wisconsin
border) part of the NIBL schedule. 7 weeks of intense
conference battling remains, and the Western Conference
playoffs are already decided... just kidding...
Winners
win...
Aruba
and West Chicago beat down 2nd placers Joliet and
Matunuck in close, bruising contests. Late Saturday
night in Joliet, Aruba's Juwan Howard put up a 49
spot to bring the newbie Byrds their first NIBL loss.
Welcome to the league Joliet... now if Bolingbrook
could only get their first win.
Losers
lose...
Despite
initial reports Bolingbrook and Sioux City maintained
their losing momentum and each team is now 0-6. The
good news: Sioux City visits Bolingbrook this week.
Whiners
whine...
Diablow
continues to lose and whine vociferously about it.
Master
of the Commissioners...
With
Shorewood's victory over Cap City, Grama Shell
completes her commissioner sweep with victories over
both Aruba and the hapless Tool. Given her grama
status, Shell can really talk that shit as Johnny Rai
and I found out Saturday.
The
pack...
Baghdad,
Vegas and Manila constitute the guts of the
ultra-competitive Eastern Conference. Each team put
the hammer to their wussy West coast opponent.
Dop...
Ala
Mike McCaskey and the pitiful Chicago Bear
organization, the Elk Grove Cougar eeked out a
victory from their private chalet in the mountains of
Lake Tahoe. Playboy lifestyle aside, the Cougar had
better hope that C-Web heats up again or they're
going to end up in a snowdrift. How's you knee Moz?
Don't
forget... buy low, sell high.
yow, bill
PS - I
don't know about the "best fantasy basketball
league", but Best Picture...
- "Saving
Private Ryan" (4 stars) - the first 30
minutes and final 30 minutes are a completely
unique and intense experience.
- "Life
is Beautiful" (3 1/2 stars) - after 5
minutes or so you completely forget the
subtitles. A very unique movie, Schindler
light...
- "Shakespeare
in Love" (huh) - didn't see it. The clip
with Gywnneth consoling a whining Shakespeare
with "it's alright Will" was enough for
me. Two thumbs down!

Diablo's email has changed and is updated in the
"Teams" page.
