Dyansty League--Draft type

[MilkSpiller22]

I don't like that idea. It's been stated that some are up late and are available then.

and they can make their picks... there would be no time of the day that an owner cant make their picks... But it is not fair to have a time limit and have sleeping time count in their time limit...

But truth be told, I don't think we need a limit... the real problem with slow drafts is that people don't even know it is their turn... If we can minimize that problem then we will speed the draft up... and the only problem will be the people that cant pick at work, or will be on vacation, and they will be the problem no matter what system we use...

 

[TREFF]

just wondering, what would you think of a dynasty league without any draft and we were all just GIVEN teams... do you think that league would last long??

So I give you one, perfectly realistic example of someone being on a vacation and MAYBE missing one pick. .and suddenly your counter argument is everyone is given their entire team. ..yea, makes sense

 

[TREFF]

Who are we missing?

I know I'm one, haven't checked that email yet to get the invite, I'm assuming I've got one there, and will get it done this evening

no, that was a hypothetical... my point is that it is very hard to have a good time in these leagues if you are controlling a team that is not your team...

10 are only signed up bc the other invites haven't been set yet. I believe 12 have officially been sent out.

Anywho, I never gave a definite time as to what it WILL be for each pick, just that we have the flexibility to do between a minute and 48 hours. I just think it's counter productive to come to the board to make picks, update a list there, when we have that access on Fantrax as well as an updated list of available players.

Get on that shit brah!

(I'm kidding)

I get what yer sayin' on keeping it on Fantrax. Avoids anyone having to enter in 252 picks, re-up the current list, double picks en sech.

(Although I think it'd be good if we can try and keep stuff close to up to date on a draft thread. I don't know about anyone else, but Draft rooms burn my battery quick. Hoop doesn't really. I know a lot of guys are just going to be via mobile while at work.)

My only hangup with where we're at is the folks who have stated they'll be away. (I don't think we'll have to worry about time limits more than just a handful of times outside of that.) I think we need some sort of plan in place to suit them. 24 hours wouldn't bother me, I'd be okay with less if we can make sure those who are away have some kind of out clause so they don't hit their OTC several times during their vacation or whatnot.

That's my ONLY concern. (Well, 100% participation obviously(57). But the extension/out clause is my only concern with that.)

I would be fine with a 4 hour time limit to make a pick, but special considerations given to previously mentioned vacations and overnight(time zones could cause an issue)

Lets share our phone numbers and get the draft order sorted out and get this business going.

Dang. .trudem's a hardass! Much as I would love this, I think 4 is bit much too stringent. 12-24 seems perfectly reasonable.

 

[TREFF]

Well, one player on your team because you weren't committed enough to take your turn in a 12-24 hour period seems fine to me. ..we should all be a little more into it than that.
My counter point to yours would be. ..those owners who don't view this as important enough to find that 15 minutes during their 12-24 hour window must not be too committed, and how fun is it to play in a league with uncommitted owners? Obviously, personal emergencies or whatever excluded

Like previously mentioned, I think most picks will be made in 15 minutes provided they know they are on the clock. if we can lock down this whole texting business I think this will go off without a hitch

and I agree, but those owners would likely have be auto drafted in a regular draft too... and at least in a slow draft, if we see that an owner doesn't care, we have time to replace him...

My email is already public on Fantrax. Entered my phone number into my profile, but I have no idea how anyone is s'posed to see it.

If anyone figures that out, I'll switch to that tonight. See you boys later.

Don't argue too much without me for the next 5-6 hours.

14 teams
10 active owners in these discussions
25 different directions


I say we decide between 12 or 24 hour time limit and some kind of escape clause for being off-line(real life).

get the rest of the owners signed up on Fantrax and start the draft in the next week.

Sounds like we need another poll!!!!!!

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I say make it 48 hrs... it is kind of a built in escape clause...

Why bother at that point?

 

[TKOSpikes]

At this point, I don't care. Just give me my DRAFT ORDER!

 

[TKOSpikes]

@Microwahevo , as commish can you suspend/adjust the clock? If so, then let's quit haggling over piddly points.

 

[TREFF]

I've signed up. .new team 8..sounds like a great name to me

BTW Micro, Back to the Future was in last night. Reelect Mayor Red Thomas

I'm against a queue
an order in anyone's queue can and should change pending on the prior picks that are made ahead of the queued picks
queuing may work out for 1 round but if some one is out for a few rounds well....

I know I rank players but I do not combine positions and thus form a queue

ie. If I'm leaving just as I'm 3 picks away then a queue could work for me but even then it might not
It depends which position goes ahead of me I may not want my top 2 queued guys anymore I may want my 3rd queued guy


and if I'm in another country for 3 days well I sure don't want to leave a 5 or 6 round queue behind
