Rules of the Danish Sofa Basketball League
1. General---In general your franchise contains no more than 12 players.
This is your team roster. There is no injured reserve. Each week you must start 5 players.
1 point guard, 1 shooting guard, 1 power forward, 1 small forward and 1 center. These 5
players are your acitve roster. Each player's position is determined by his listing on
Doug Steele's homepage. You can access the site by going to:

The 8 teams are divided into 2 divisions. every week, your team will matched up against
another team from either your own division or the other division. The Danish Sofa
Basketball League week runs from Friday through Thursday.
2. Scoring---Scoring is based on an 8 category system. Each of the 5 players on your
starting lineup for the week will accumulate statistics in 8 categories as his team plays
games that week. The categories are as follows:
1. Total Points
2. Field Goal %
3. Free Throw %
4. 3 Point Field Goals Made
5. Rebounds
6. Assists
7. Steals
8. Blocked Shots
Your 5 players' 8 categories will be totalled for the week, and your scores will be
matched against the opposing team's scores. Each category you win, gives you a point. A
loss gives you 0 points. A tie gives you 0,5 points. The scores are totalled, and the team
with the highest total score at the end of the week wins the weekly game. After the
season. The statistics are generated using the box scores from NBAs website
NBA stats.
3. The Season---The season runs the entire regular season. After the first 16 weeks of the
regular season, the playoffs begin with these matchups.
East Number 1 - East number 4
East Number 2 - East number 3
West Number 1 - West number 4
West Number 2 - West number 3
The next round will be with these matchups:
East Number 1/4 - East number 2/3
West Number 1/4 - west number 2/3
And finally the DSBL final:
East 1/2/3/4 - West 1/2/3/4
This is regular playoffs - if you lose, you're ready for an early vacation. Players not
involved in the playoffs, will not contribute to scoring.
As it can be seen, the entire DSBL season lasts 19 weeks.
4. Rosters---All active rosters must be turned in to me by Friday 0200 AM (Eastern
American Time). Any player not turning in a roster will start the same roster as the week
before.
5. Trades and Pickups---All trades must be e-mailed to the commissioner before they can be
accepted. All roster moves including trades, cuts, and waiver pickups must be e-mailed to
the commissioner by the deadline (Friday 0200 AM Eastern Time) for the changes to be made
for the next week. Any moves made later than the deadline will not be processed until the
following week. All trade is suspended after the 4th last Saturday in the regular season.
NO EXCEPTIONS. The commissioner reserves the right to reject any trade that is obviously
biased or slanted to help another team, or has weird or unusual strings attached to them.
If two players attempt to pick up the same player, the one that e-mails the commissioner
first receives the player, the other owner will be notified by the commissioner that his
move could not be made. The commissioner will post all waiver pickups immediately on the
DSBL website.
6. Reports---A roster and transaction report will be available on the DSBL website. The
results for the week and the standing will be posted on Friday. Any time that these dates
cannot be met by the commissioner, all owners will be notified.
7. Draft---This is a keeper league. At the end of the season after the Championship game,
each owner can protect 6 players. The rest of the players and new NBA draft picks are
available in the common draft held in the two weeks before the start of the regular
season. Future draft picks can be traded only for the following year. The draft order is
determined by last season's final standing. Worst goes first and best goes last for each
round of the draft. Trades for players and draft picks can be made anytime during the
offseason. The draft is held by e-mail, a round a day. Any owner not making his/her pick
in the alloted time will forfeit the pick.
8. Future---Any owner deciding not to play next year will lose his team and his franchise
will be open. Another player will be found by the owner or the commissioner, and the
franchise will be awarded to that owner. Any name changes must be made during the
offseason. The commissioner reserves the right to add or subtract any rule to the above
list to preserve the integrity and honesty of the league.
