Computer simulation league

Recommended Posts

For five years I ran a computer simulation league  on another IU message forum using the PC Stellar basketball program.  It’s a project I would be interested in starting again in the off-season after teams have their stats complete.

Basically owners pick a real life NCAA team to run and strategies to employ (player rotations, pace of play, focus of shot selection, defensive style (man to man or zone, tightness of defense).

if I were to create the teams and run it again, would you personally be interested in coaching a team?  I can tell you that the coach’s part takes minimal time — the work is on my end in creating the team and running the games.

I’d be down for this. Sounds pretty interesting. Could this be a league fee, fantasy football type thing with a winner, or is it just for fun?

I’m not one for managing money for a league.  In the leagues I’v run in the past each owner takes a NCAA team and sends me their game plans to ‘coach’ them.  I’ve run it as a strictly Big Ten league and ran one season where owners could pick any NCAA team.  I run the games and post the box scores and stats in a shared google account.  I started running it the year Yogi was a freshman;  last year was the first year I didn’t run it.  Yogi was the all time leading scorer fir the league (partially because some really good players went pro in real life) but if I had run it last year, Carson Edwards would have passed him in just three years.

when the regular season was over, teams that qualified for the tournament played in a simulated tourney.  In the six years I ran it, I think that Big Ten teams won the title twice.
