"Daba" Score (pronounced: d(")-buh) as coined by S. Coleman!

This is a pointing system, much like ones used in a fantasy league (basketball, football, baseball, etc...) The Daba Score is composed up of points in 3 categories: Statistic Points, Mission Points, and Fan Points. Without going into a long discussion of the DS formula:! Statistic Points come from a player's stats.! Mission Points derive from players' involvement in or outside of DABA that advances ! the DABA mission and are awarded through Commissioners.! Fan Points come from a players' support group for that player or towards DABA.!

Points are accrewed from a player's stats to attending open gyms to liking DABA social network sites to fan's voting and donating for DABA players, just to name a few examples. A Daba Score Points Sheet (DSPS) breakdown will be provided on website for clarity and transparency. Points can also be deducted from negative play or when used to make certain Trades or Acquisitions. Points are tallied and recorded only after players balances are satised. More info provided on DSPS breakdown. Daba score will be used in associating player ratings, as well as awards and honors.! Trades, Acquisitions, and Free Agency!

Trades, Acquistitions, and Free Agencies can only take place All-Star Week, and any team changes will take place the rst game following All-Star Weekend.
