LUCIDO IS THE #1 PICK
By the PEXBALL Sports Desk
Team Walkers made full use of the opportunity as this seasons number 1 pick in the rookie draft as it chose behemoth Vladdy Lucido last Saturday at the Cloverleaf Gym.
Lucido who stands at 62 is expected to be the game changer for the Walkers who struggled last year despite having a competitive lineup.
With the recent development, the Walkers now are favoured to figure in the battle for the championship along with the preseason favorites Wolfpack, Sentinels and Spartans.
Team Rogue Squad (formerly Lightning) took the opportunity to draft Mark Joseph Mercado as the #2 pick overall to further strengthen its frontcourt this season.
Team Vipers, meanwhile nabbed as the third pick overall Michael George De Ocampo, a doppleganger of its team captain, Hardy Espineda.
Team Toros then moved up to #4 in the draft after a draft day trade with the Wolverines.
The Christopher Lasin led squad then wasted no time in picking another giant Francis Bryan Lopez.
Wolverines then picked up as the #5 in the draft Aldwin Alf Flores.
Rogue Squad in an eyebrow raising move ,surrendered their #6 pick to Team Cardinals for 511 James Ciriaco and a future second round pick. With the said pick, the Cardinals chose lanky Regen Aguda.
Stallions then chose the first guard in the draft in Ronnie Malana before the Cardinals acquired Allan John Lacanilao as the 8th pick overall to further shore up their frontcourt.
Giants, formerly known as Vanguards, drafted big man Brian Wetack as the 9th pick.
Titans completed their own version of Extra Rice Incorporated as it nabbed Remil Ibanez while Vipers grabbed as the 11th pick in the first round Forward Guard Owen Mabaga
Titans finished the first round with the drafting of Christopher Basilio.
Powerhouse Wolfpack and Sentinels failed to pick any rookies while Spartans appeared to have gotten an upgrade in their guard spot as it got James Alba in the second round.
A total of 24 rookies were chosen this season and they are expected to make some noise and help their team improve.
PEXBALL Season 12 Year 14 is scheduled to start on May 16, 2015 at the Cloverleaf Gym
meanwhile updated FREE AGENT LIST as of 4/3/2015

SECTION 2 : PLAYERS / ROSTERS / TEAMS
Classification of INELIGIBLE PLAYERS

3) Players who have not submitted or sign a waiver form
4) players who were suspended by the league yet they still played in the game - additional 2 game suspension will be added to the said player
5) Players who were suspended indefinitely by the league
Only Maximum of 15 spots per team this includes injury and players for freeze. Sitout players are not included in this.
Definition of Freeze and Sitout Players
FREEZE players who cannot play for the team this season but the team would want to keep its playing rights for the next season. Each team can only freeze one player per season. He cannot be placed again on the same slot until his 4th playing year on the team after being placed on Freeze notice
SITOUT players who would want to leave his current team but the current team would not want to release him. A player placed on this slot will be released to Free Agency next season. Players who have literally played for a team for two seasons (at least 75 percent per season) will have this so called opportunity. This means injured players who did not play in their 2nd season for a team will not be covered by this. Once a player is placed in the SITOUT option, he will be released in the FREE AGENCY the following season wherein , the league will use the WAIVER WIRE (based on the previous seasons standing wherein last will be the first and first will be the last to pick) to determine the team who will get him. If a new team picks the sitout player they must surrender their corresponding pick to the former team. (first or second) , depending on the value of the player). The said sitout player cannot say NO to the team who gets his services in the Waiver Wire. Failure to abide with this, will force the LEAGUE to BAN the Player and prevent a team secretly coveting him.
In the event, a player and his current team both used the FREEZE and SITOUT at the same time, SITOUT will rule over the said argument.
All the SITOUT players in RESTRICTED Free Agency/ Waiver Wire next season can only be picked up a day before the rookie draft.
Only one player per team may SITOUT per season, if there two or more, the others will have to wait for their turn next season and must play the current season with the mother team
FREE AGENCY
After the team captains meeting, the league will publish list of FREE AGENTS. Free Agents are classified into two, RESTRICTED and UNRESTRICTED.
Unrestricted FA are the ones with no pending issues with previous teams. These includes players with quota issues, cleared by the league and inactive veteran players. Once list is produced, teams will have seven days to use their waiver wire options. Once player is not picked up , these players can be claimed by other teams. Once a player is in the waiver wire, no team can say that the said player will not play for any other team. Once the league finds about this, it will take away the draft picks of the team and suspend the said player.
Restricted FA players that came from SITOUT slot. Once they are claimed by a team, the new team must give up the corresponding pick/s. HIGH PICKS (Picks 1-5) MID PICKS (Picks 6-8) LOW PICKS (Picks 9-onwards).
If player is a superstar caliber the new team must give up FIRST ROUND HIGH PICKS if team has MID PICK, they must give it up along with a second round of this year or the following year. If team has a LOW PICK , they must give it up along with either the second round this year or a first round of the following year.
Waiver Wire Teams who are the lowest seed (based on the final standings, including playoffs etc) will be the ones on TOP of the waiver wire. If ever another team aims to claim a player from the FREE AGENCY within the same period, The team with the highest waiver wire placing (lowest seed in the previous year) will get the player
ALL PLAYERS released to FREE AGENCY during the tournament proper, will not be allowed to play for the current season.
THE LEAGUE (Tournament Director) has the right to review, check the eligibility of players (2 YEARS TO PRESENT FOR EXAMPLE TODAY IS 2015. League may check again the background of the players who entered the league in 2013 if there are questions on his eligibility. Once proven ineligible, the said player will not be allowed to play in the league for 3 to 4 years. He may only re-apply if majority of the team captains agree wherein he will again undergo the draft process
SECTION 3 TRANSACTIONS
League will allow trades ONLY UNTIL AFTER THE ROOKIE DRAFT.
Eligible trades include players, draft picks for current year and next year draft. Only TEAM CAPTAINS/ASST TEAM CAPTAINS are allowed to talk about the trades but final decision falls into the hands of the TEAM CAPTAIN if Team Captain is part of the trade, the ASST TEAM CAPTAIN will take charge. The League will not allow a player involved with the trade to pressure the team captain to make the deal happen. Once the team captain complains about this, the said player will be suspended for 1 season and the other team who pressures the team captain of the mother team will lose their draft picks. for the next two seasons with the possibility of not allowing its current rookies to play for the season. Please be advised that the team captains are the ones in charge of the team and he will be in complete control of his team in terms of management and transactions
Rookies or newly transferred players cannot request a trade or hold his new team hostage. If this case is reported with evidence the said player will be suspended for a season plus his playing rights will be retained by his team (the said team will also get a compensation pick if ever wherein they can choose either to be given a draft pick same position when they got the said rookie next season or get a free agent with no restriction). Furthermore if it is determined that another team has a hand on this, the said other team will be penalized in form of not allowing its rookie drafted to play, losing two years of draft picks or can let the other team pick a player from their roster to fill up the space vacated by the rookie or newly transferred player
Teams cannot waive a drafted rookie unless there is an evidence that the said player has an attitude problem.
A player with quota issues may be suspended by the League especially if their respective mother team complains. Furthermore he can be recommended to be suspended in other basketball leagues. If the team covers up or owns up the said player with payment, then it is expected that the team will be able to pay on time.
Each team will now have the maximum of 4 spots in RESTRICTED TRADE LIST (3 to be given by the Tournament Director and 1 spot to be chosen by the team based on the recommendation list by the Tournament Director. Players on the RTL can only be traded to other teams if the player involved is also in the RTL list or has the equivalent PICK VALUE.
SECTION 4: ROOKIES / NEWBIES
All rookies will have to go through the SCREENING, ROOKIE CAMP-SCRIMMAGE and DRAFT. No Direct Hire unless approved by the League
The tournament director will make interviews with random rookies and if the rookie fails the interview he will be sent home.
Eligible rookies who can join the rookie camp are the ones who have passed the initial screening.
Starting 2015, rookies who fail to show up and participate in the camp will not be eligible for the rookie draft.
Commercial League players (players receiving money from companies) / Basketball Varsity Players/ Professional Basketball Players are not allowed to play in the league until after 4 years from the year they last played for that certain level.
Any applicant who fakes his identify just to join the league will be banned.
Rookies must be aware that once they go through the draft, they CANNOT choose the team they want to be with wherein once they are drafted, they must stay with the team for at least two seasons unless they are traded after the first season. FURTHERMORE , TEAMS CANNOT SAY or CLAIM to other teams, that a certain player will only play for them. If this is the case, there is no point of having a draft. VIOLATION of this will have the said player coveted by a certain team BANNED in the league and the team where he would like to play surrender one of its players to the team who lost the said rookie. (choice of the other team affected by the rookie) OR lose their first round pick this season (if it is still available) or next season. They may also surrender their draft pick (1st round) this season to the said team affected.
Starting SEASON 2016, Rookie Draft will be trimmed to just two rounds. Undrafted rookies then will be placed in the Unrestricted FREE AGENTS wherein they will go through the waiver wire.

Wolfpack
The Wolfpack stopped the Spartans vice grip on the PExBall championship, becoming the first non-Green team since the Red Packers in season six to hoist the trophy as well as the third squad to complete a season sweep. Double-double machines and rookie of the year awardees in their respective debut seasons, Marv Santos and Alex Candelaria are an athletic duo that gave opponents headaches last season and will provide migraines in years to come. Their lineup practically intact, it wont be a surprise if the Wolfpack will have another dominating year, if not retain the title outright.
Sentinels
The Sentinels quest for their first ever PExBall crown remains to be an unaccomplished mission as they were frustrated yet again, if not by the Spartans in seasons past, by the Wolfpack last year. A squad teeming with towering frontcourt bangers, RV Vicencio returned from injury to lead the whiteshirts to become an unlikely MVP winner despite starting only two games. Picking up reliable scorer Arsee Galanida from the waivers, the Sentinels backcourt is now as formidable and deep as their big man rotation.
Titans
If the then Vanguards were the surprise package in 2013, the Titans took that title last season as they managed to reach the semifinals despite pedestrian (for his standard) numbers coming from alpha dog Mike Soliven (24.1ppg, 7.2rpg, 3.4apg, 1.5spg, shooting 49% fg and 37% 3pts in 13 games played). The emergence of Carlo Medina and Bonifacio Bordeos made it easier for Rydell Serrano to release dependable but redundant talents Ian Rena and Ricky Velasco. They are also moving in a new direction as they got busy in the recent draft, picking up the likes of Remel Ibanez, Christopher Basilio, and Francis Manuel to replace rotation players Mark Nuque, and James Hesita. Will they ever sustain their good fortune is what remains to be seen with the Titans this coming season.
Giants
The Giants upswing after Arvy Trinidad took over the reins continues, but they still havent gotten over the hump of advancing beyond the semifinals. With all-around shooter Trinidad, midrange threat James Pangilinan, and outside gunner Amiel Zarate providing the scoring punch after trading away fire-at-will Jobs Primicias, they now feature a balanced attack that can come from anywhere. And with Japs Recio expecting to return to action, the Giants might finally make that leap to the next level.
Warhawks
The Warhawks are still looking for their identity after figurehead Mike Rivera was dealt away an offseason ago. Anton delos Reyes and Alvin Teng commanded the team in absentia at times last season as Tristan Taboac emerged as the squads tangible leader. Despite that, the redshirts were able to finish fourth at the end of the eliminations. The shuffling resumed as they disposed Nico Veridiano and James Ciriaco to the Rogue Squad, then waived delos Reyes, Teng, Gener Magbanua, and Don Tagalog to make way for rookies Regen Aguda, Allan Lacanilao, Raffy Adornado, and Alex Gonzales. How this new makeup will translate to the newly-christened squad remains a big question mark to everyone
Stallions
An unexpected sixth place finish last season belies the fact that the Stallions are undergoing a massive overhaul in the post-JP Abcede era. Picking up rookies Erick Santos, Lorenzo Palmos, and Yves Sy made up for MIA players Leo Vencio, MJ Macapugay, and Jeff Lim, who all logged a total of zero minutes last year. The red and black squad underwent spring cleaning in the offseason, releasing Vencio, Sunny Geronimo, Ramil de Leon, and CJ Briton, with Macapugay declaring his retirement. Can they duplicate their finish from the previous season now that they have discarded the deadweight in their roster?
Spartans
After failing to reach the final four for the first time in its franchise history in PEXBALL, the Spartans have somehow retooled and added two players (Carlos Parilla and Rookie James Alba) who are expected to help the 5 time champions this season. The Spartans, despite what happened to them last season, are still considered a top tier team especially with Jericho Ilagan and Norman Buentipo returning for another season.
Toros
The Chris Lasin franchise had their second best season in their teams history last year because of the presence of their rookie big man and Mythical Team member Ed Pasion. However this season, the team is expected to have a tough time because of the absence of the aforementioned player. Their rookie draftee, Bryan Lopez will try to duplicate what Pasion did along with the returning former first rounders, Eugene Recongco and James Victorio.
Vipers
The team had three important acquisition in the offseason in Rendel Patricio, Mark DeOcampo and Owen Mabaga. How the three will mesh with the teams reliable players in Joby Primicias and CJ Lasam, remains to be seen. The Vipers aim to bounce back from a disappointing year and chemistry will be a big factor if they would want to make it to the playoffs
Warriors
The team had a big problem last year with attendance of some of its key players which resulted to a slightly revamped team this season. With Gian Canilao and Bridson Castronuevo back in fold, the Warriors are expected to be back in fighting form with the help of their veterans Dexter Ong, Christian Manalang and Stewart Samson.
Walkers
The WNC Walkers are expected to make the final four this season with the acquisition of the top rookie pick Vladdy Lucido who is expected to be the game changer for the team. Chemistry wont be an issue for the WNC team as they have a weekly practice. Lucido along with former Mythical Five member Jeremy Dela Cruz and former MVP Paolo Escober will be tough nut to crack for opponents
Rogue Squad
The team raised some eyebrows during the offseason with their Barako Bull-like transactions, however the team insisted that they know what they are doing and are expected to make some noise this season. This team will heavily rely with top rookie draftee Mark Joseph Mercado along with James Ciriaco and Nate Alfaro in the front court while the backcourt will be manned by Patrick Bade, Nico Verdiano and Pat Cobrador.
