Note No. 1: I just realized that Gustaw's PACE ratings probably refer to each quarter of play and not each half of play. Therefore, in this case, the +2 and +1 PACE ratings, totaling +3, should have been applied to 10 minutes of game play and not for the full 20 minute half of play. In other words, I was probably about +3 cards short in the first half and another +3 cards in the second half. I don't consider this a big deal overall, as my stats - especially field goal and three point field goal attempts per team - were reasonably accurate throughout this game. As mentioned in the video, the WNBA utilized two halves (w/penalty beginning at the 7th team foul) from 1997 thru 2005. The WNBA switched to four quarters of play in 2006 (w/penalty beginning on the 5th team foul). I hope you enjoy the full game play. Note No. 2: Links to the "free cards" on Delphi and Bradley Logan's Etsy link have been repaired. 🏀
Note: (I tried both the links to both Delphi and Etsy and neither worked - please advise). Hey thanks for another nice video Rod. The beauty of this game to me, as far as I can tell is the ease of play due to not having to refer to a set of boards, which speaks volumes. I enjoyed the brief history at the beginning; I didn’t know any of that before. As always, your broadcast makes me feel like I have paid for front row seats. Take care. P.S I got to get me a pool table for the basement (even if it doesn’t work), it would make walking down the steps to it make me feel like I am entering an Arena.
Hi Mike. Thanks for enjoying the show and thanks for inspecting my broken internet links. The good old "copy and paste" obviously didn't translate to the links. Both have been repaired. And, yes, the ease of play makes this fun for me. I've added my own version of "assists," which occur when a player either converts a missed shot to a made shot with his ballhandling skills. I even award an assist when the "bh" person doesn't allow the made shot to be a miss. Example: a ballhandler with a "D" still gets an assist when the indicated card allows a "better than F" result. That way, even terrible passers get an assist once in awhile. As for "F" ballhandlers, they're not like to get assists anyway. I also try to award a "defensive stop" to defensive players who prevent a two point or three point shot from going in. It's kind of my version of a "blocked shot." Interestingly enough, this WNBA game didn't have many great defenders, but I was surprised that even Lisa Leslie didn't stop anyone. Also, I enjoy the small footprint for Crunch Time and I now enjoy games where a time clock is not needed. Take care. 🏀
This is a bit of a random comment (sorry), but watching this now and just saw that Jamila Wideman came into the game. I have to confess I wasn't aware of Wideman as a basketball player, but I do remember that one of my favorite authors, John Edgar Wideman, named a daughter Jamila. And sure enough, this Jamila Wideman is Mr. Wideman's daughter. Very cool. Now I'm just sorry I wasn't aware of her during her WNBA career. Odd little facts one can learn watching a Rod's Tabletop Hoops video. :)
Thanks for the knowledge bomb, Barry. I had no idea who Jamila Wideman was, either, so I'm glad you provided some background on this 1997 WNBA player's lineage. Cheers! 🏀

You're right, the PACE applies each quarter (or half period in this case). Anyway, no big deal.
I had a great time playing with these WNBA teams. @gustawr
