well actually i just need the box score, so 200 points is a bit excessive! haha

either 48 points to 'scout' all the players. or you could do the Group Combine, get approximately 20 of them (but only spend 10 points) and then scout the remainder, so estimated 38 points.

but yer, essentially the info im after is -

Box Score, age, height, and star rating.

The biggest challange is, that, once drafted, identifying who is who - which will be done through a combination of age, height and then star/grade comparison. So the more ages and heights and star ratings i get, the easier it will make for determining 'who is who'.
That is - in the draft list, if there are three 18 year olds, at 6'1, the only way to tell the difference once drafted will be their salary, which will be related to their star rating. If two of them have the same star rating, then im unable to determine which guy is which, and subsequently, their box score data becomes invalid.

so yer, there is some complexity it what im doing, and its very interesting. If there are people out there who have 40 points to spare, id love to hear from you. as yoda said, msg me first because your league may already have been 'drafted'.

I'm afraid I can't contribute this season, but if you continue the analysis next season, I'll be more than happy to help, I only have 34 points at the moment, but by next season, I should have plenty ! :)

Even without scouting the info can help the project

How?

The Box scores can provide info on the players. There is a simple way for all that info to be submitted. Then if and when any players are listed for sale the box scores can be used to see if it has any correlation to the skills. but if no one submits info from the league it is excluded from the data pool.

dont you need to scout to see the box scores though? ;)

Awesome work, Coach. From the 27 box scores I will be giving you 2 of the players have scored more than the 27pts you have as a highest game so far. I have another 2 players who have scored 9 and 12 assists respectively...pretty decent. I can also confirm that the lowest and highest minutes played from my 27 box scores is 20 and 40 respectively...clearly that is a fact. I have also no-one who has scored more than 6 rebounds...

...some interesting in formation and I think you might be spoton about it played as an allstar/or arcade type match...would seem to reflect data so far.

I will type up box scores/star rating/height/position for you and text it to you today sometime

yer basically someone from that league needs to scout or do some kind of draft-point spending to reveal to the box scores.

Obviously the more box scores i get, AND then subsequently, the more player stats i get, the more data i have at the end of the day.

But even if you only spend 1 point on the draft, AND i can guarantee that that player matches a player in the draft, then the data is good.

I meant that someone sitting on 200+ scouting points could have used 48 of them to help out the project. I wasted a few extra ones so that I had scouted every single player in the ABBL draft.

about time you trained a 21 NT player ;)

There are a couple of ok draftees in the ABBL draft this season, low potential but good starting skills, but also some of the best were the 19 year olds. We shall see who I get.
