This is a movie based puzzle
At first glance it may seem simple. Just grab one of the 45 teams and all you have to do is pick the 13 team member from people in the movie biz! Simple!

HOWEVER, let's look at the game play.......
There will be 50 round robins. One for 21 year olds, one for 70 year olds and 48 for the years inbetween.
One round robin is 990 game. 50 round robins is 49.500 games.
Each game consists of 114 toe-to-toe matches.
That totals to 5,643,000 total matches.

The 114 is calculated this way:
There are 2 genders (male & female)
There are 3 jobs (lead actor, supporting actor and crew member)
There are 19 genres (the same 19 used in the Hollywood League)
2 X 3 X 19 = 114

Scoring is based on your team's best IMDB rating in each of the 114 categories.
If a player has no opponent, he/she scores an uncontested 1 point.

Example: your 37 year old supporting actress in a drama is going to go up against the other team's 37 year old supporting actress based on their movies IMDB score. And that's just one of the 114 categories in the 44 games within the 50 round robins!!!!

Full rules to come but as you can see, even though you only need to pick 13 players, the decisions you need to make as to who to pick will be extremely complicated.

Teams without owners will have their players picked by random.org.

So, after all that if you still want to enter, just post an "in" and pick your team (if you like or one can be randomly given to you).

So far, 5 have been picked (from the Hollywood Baseball League).

You'll have until next Tuesday to list all the players you want from your team's area (birthplace is used). You can fill in the rest of your team using a draft that will start on Tuesday (the 15th).

Here's a list of the teams, some players already assigned to them, their area and owner (if any):

FULL RULES
----------

by the numbers:
there are 45 teams
each team has 13 players
there will be 50 round robins
50 is made up of your team as 21 year olds up to your team as 70 year olds
each game in the round robin is made up of 114 toe-to-toe matches
114 is made up of:
2 genders (male and female)
3 jobs (lead actor, supporting actor, crew member)
19 genres

Each match is scored as follows:
your best IMDB rating (out of 100) for that category against your opponents best IMDB rating for that category
if there is no opponent, the team that shows up get 1 uncontested point
The winner of the game is the one with the greater total points from all 114 categories
Example: the best movie made by any of your 30 year old supporting actresses in a western is a 6.2.
the best movie made by any of your opponents 30 year old supporting actresses in a western is 5.2.
you get 10 points (62 out of 100 minus 52 out of 100).

The overall winning team is determined as follows:
most games won minus most games lost

who can own a team?
anyone on 2+2

how do you get a team?
just enter a post stating "in"
also, if you like, tell us which team you want (any team not previously taken)

the timeline:
When the HBL ended the players got team picking order based on their finish in the league
After that it was opened up to all 2+2ers
Signups end on the 15th at 5PM EST.
All teams have some protected players that were given to them when they became team owner.
All these players were born in that team's "area".
Except: the map of England is such a mess we used local area and then family name to determine "area".
Owners have til the 15th (5PM EST) to add more protected players from their area to their team as long as they do not exceed 13.
Hint: IMDB has a function where you can search by birthplace.
Starting on the 15th at 5PM EST a draft will start where owners can pick any unprotected player they like (needn't be from their area).
Each owner has 24 hours to make a pick.
Picking order will be determined by random.org. First round #1 to #45. Each round after #45 to #1.
If 24 hours passes without a pick, random.org will pick for them.
Teams without owners will have their picks made by random.org.
Random.org will use my list of players that I'm using for my picks in the draft.
Once the draft is over, the games will be played and a winner declared.
I assume the winner will be the Texas Longhorns!!!!!!!!

eligible players:
the player must be on IMDB with a birthplace and a birth year
(male/female may be determined elsewhere on the internet)
the player must have been born in one of the 45 areas covered by our 45 teams.
the player must have at least 10 credits in any 1 of
actor
director
composer
cinematography
writer

eligible movies:
must be a "feature film"
must have a rating (at least 5 reviews)
must be at least one of these genres
drama
family
fantasy
romance
western
horror
mystery
crime
film noir
history
biography
sport
musical
action
adventure
comedy
sci-fi
thriller
war

determining what category your player is in:
Male of female is usually in the IMDB bio. You can go elsewhere on the internet to determine if IMDB does not say.
Job is based on which has more IMDB credits: actor, cinematographer, composer, writer or director
If more credits are actor then they are actors otherwise they are crew.
If they are actors then the advanced film search (detailed) determines lead or supporting:
If they are listed as "stars" they are lead actors. Otherwise, supporting.
They get each genre listed on the advanced film search (detailed).
Therefore one player may cover numerous categories for just 1 year.

Which movie to use during play:
The movie used is the one with the best rating for that category. All others in the same category are ignored.


Well, that's all I can think of right now.
As usual, I'm sure I've missed a thing or two so read the subsequent posts for clarifications.

If this is all too confusing but you'd like a team anyway just go ahead and post "in". Random.org will then do all your work for you.

In

Will pick final team before Tuesday in case I wanna switch from Ohio

The Texas Longhorns announce that Tommy Lee Jones (actor from San Saba Texas) has been released and Charles King (actor from Hillsboro Texas) has been added to their roster.

The Texas Longhorns continue their roster moves. Out is Kathy Baker (actress from Midland Texas). The newest Longhorn is Wally West (actor from Gough Texas).

Gone through a lot of Texans and I think those 2 supporting actors is all I'll find.
Still need a good leading man.
And,of course, more crew.

Still think I'll win though: my supporting cast is dynamite.

I'm hoping I've learnt from last game

You've probably finished scouring your area for more players. Now you're looking towards the draft in order to fill in any holes in your lineup. Here are all the protected players sorted by name so that you can do a quick lookup to see if that player you're eying is already taken.

Looks like my warning has been heeded. Still just us 5 veterans from the Hollywood Baseball League signed on. Much too complicated for others.
A little surprised to see that nobody has signed up and installed random.org as their manager. Chance to be a part of POG history without having to lift a finger.

I'm looking at my roster now for empty spaces.
I've got 5 that were already in movies at the age of 21. Only 1 made it to 70.

So, I'm looking for a leading man who was very popular at the age of 70 and hasn't been picked by anyone else!

Any suggestions?

Just loaded one of the teams just to see what one looks like.
This is the Buffalo Bills and it won't change unless someone adopts it.

Can I join with random.org but without actually having to do the random?
If so, I'm in.

Thanks for entering iraisetoomuch.
No, nothing at all for you to do with the random.org option. Random.org does all its work here at league headquarters.
The first thing it did was give you a team. You are now owner of the Denver Broncos.
So, relax, put your feet up and let's see how the Broncos make out.

Anyone else want to join us? You can see how easy it is. We still have 39 teams to give away.

Making some changes to my team.

I'm dropping:
Margaret Atwood
Alice Munro
Raymond Massey

And adding:
Jim Carrey
Catherine O'Hara
David Cronenberg

Good. That will improve the Toronto team.
Atwood and Munro had to go!
I thought Massey was picky about what movies he appeared in so would have good ratings. Of course, that was just my impression: it might not hold up to scrutiny.

I've now created a list for random.org to pick from on Tuesday.
Cronenberg was on the list so I've put Massey in his spot.

We'll have plenty to choose from so that all teams will have 13 players.

The player in the #1 spot has 633 feature film "crew" credits.
I wonder how many others have him on their list for Tuesday's draft.

can i have james corden and 12 random people on a team?

Yes, that actually can be done.
There are 2 teams that only have 1 protected player.
We will replace that one player with James Corden in round 1 and then random.org can pick the other 12 for you.

I asked random.org which of the two you should get. Mr Org said it should be the Florida Gators. So there it is, you are now the owner of the Florida Gators.

ATTENTION EVERYONE ELSE: Howard Jackson will become available some time during round #1.

Nice. I love jorts!

Draft starts in 8 hours.
You need to select your team now.

woah, guess we all missed it

Just over 3 hours left before the draft.
Just 38 teams left to pick from - they're going fast!

Looks like everyone is waiting til the very last minute.
Only 1 hour to go.

Skuttlebutt out of league headquarters is that The Shamrock Rovers have secured the #1 draft position and they plan to shoot themselves in the foot by picking Fred F Sears.

True? Stay tuned to find out!
