What positions do I need to fill on my roster?

You have 9 starting positions and 3 bench spots. Each player you draft/buy has a position designation of Point Guard (PG), Shooting Guard (SG), Small Forward (SF), Power Forward (PF) or Center (C). Your game day roster has the nine positions listed below that include additional position designation such as Guard, Forward, Forward/Center and Utility. You can fill these roster slots with position designations as listed below.

Point Guard (PG)

Shooting Guard (SG)

Guard (G) - Teams can play either a PG or a SG in this position

Small Forward (SF)

Power Forward (PF)

Forward (F) - Teams can play either a PF or a SF in this position

Forward/Center (FC) - Teams can play either a PF or a C in this position

Center (C)

Utility (UTL) - Teams can play any player in this position

There are a maximum number of games for each position on your roster. Each position has a maximum of 82 games for the season. Net position usage summarizes this information by summing the games over and under at each position.

How do I edit my lineup?

From "Roster" page. You can add or remove a player from a starting position up to 5 minutes before his game begins. Within 5 minutes of game time, a player will be locked in. If a player qualifies for more than one position, you can choose which position he starts at and place him into a position so long as he's not replacing a player already locked in. Of course, you can keep a position empty but you will also receive no points for that position.

By default, a starting roster is carried over from one day to the next unless you manually make changes. You can also make roster changes for future dates at any time.

What is the Position Usage information for?

Every team has the same limits for how many games it can use for players. Each position has a maximum of 82 games for the season. Once the maximum games are used for a position, no more points can be earned by any player in that position.

To help you monitor your games, the NBA Stock Exchange provides information on how your usage should be paced evenly over the entire season. A positive (+) number would reflect that you are ahead of pace, while a negative (-) number would reflect that you are behind.

For example, if we are two months into the season, an even pace would have used 27 games per position.

If your center position has played 35 games this season, you will see " 35/82 (+8) " on your roster page for "today", just underneath the position marker. This shows that you have 35 games out of the 82 available for the season, and that you are 8 games ahead of an even pace for the center position.

The Net Position Usage (shown on the Global League Leaderboard and in your team summary box on the MyTeam-Overview and Global League-Home pages) is a sum of the +/- usage values from all of your team's positions.

In the end, every team can only use 82 games per position. So if a team's usage is below pace, the negative number would give an idea of how may unused games or innings that team will be left with at the end of the season. For a team usage that is above pace, the positive number reflects how many games or innings that team has used ahead of schedule and will thus reach the team's limit prior to the end of the season.

Does postseason play count?

No. The NBA Stock Exchange season coincides with the regular NBA season and ends at the completion of the last game.

How do I set my lineup?

On your "Roster" page. Use the dropdown menu next to a player's name, no later than 5 minutes before the start of the game for that day, to start or bench that player. Unfilled position spots will show an [open] sign. You also have the ability to set your roster for future weeks by clicking on the future week.

Can I review my past roster moves?

Yes. Go to the "Team History" page. This page shows the history of every player you have started on your team and statistical performance. It also details the "buy" and "sell" prices of all players you have owned. You can also click on the previous weeks at the top of your "Roster" page to view your teams past weekly performances.

What is the Watch List?

The Watch List is a tool that allows you to track performances of players that are of interest to you. It shows the player's statistics and pricing information.
