MLB 1977 Player Draft

[Nosferatu]

Honestly as long as people don't make everyone wait all day I don't care if people leave a list, what bothers me is when we sit and wait for 10 hours for someone...

I know normally it's the same guy named Nos that we are waiting on
I find it weird that Hockey was online last night while he was OTC but didn't pick. Please guys check to see where we are at in the draft before logging off for the night or once again leave a list.

PM'd hockey, hopefully he checks in at some point...

Somebody wrote that they wouldn't be here this weekend so I'm hoping it wasn't Mr Hockey. Someone also said to skip them. However I've been on meds so can't rely on my memory.

All the drafts we have done this one has gone the slowest on the weekend.

Lastly what's everyone's thoughts on the most accurate and honest way to figure out the winner of the draft.

I think it was steve that said he didn't care if his turns were skipped.

I believe your correct thanks.

Okay with Winston being suspended today does that change who wins the game. I am in a college football pickem (no point spread just picking winners). So who you think will win tonight FSU or Clemson?

So, a little slow this morning.

It's slower then you doing addition and subtraction math problems

Just checking in... Watching Jeremiah Johnson...

 

[Ritzarmy]

The guys that are here why not leave Nos and myself a list in case guys ahead of you start actually picking.

Yep. I thought it might be active, so I said you could skip me... Now, it seems the weekends will be dead..

Not sure how to figure out winners... Didn't someone say it will be a voting tournament? We could set up voting polls on the general board.

Has anyone seen those online sim leagues? You can add your rosters, and simulate games or seasons...

 

[steveringo]

I'd also like to propose two picks at a time, once we're down to the bench & pens... Maybe one position and one pitcher....

 

[Ritzarmy]

Not checking in once all day is pissing me off.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Maybe Nos and I should have been more clear on weekend rules and time slots. Yes there are no time slots on weekends and we just draft in order but guys you still need to be active and show up once in awhile or LEAVE A LIST.

 

[jeffro151]

Personally, I am not interested in leaving a list because I may have a guy on my list that you were not thinking of, and then you swoop in and grab him. No offense but thats just how I feel.

We have done a playoff matchup voting in our past drafts. However we noticed that the voting has gotten tainted lately. Last draft during the Championship game we had a outside poster ask everyone vote for Team 2 who was currently like 7 votes behind. After that post Team 2 was up 2 votes. Nos and I will figure it out but also would like ideas from you guys.

 

[da55bums]

a simulator would be cool, I would have won at least 2 drafts with that, lol

Honestly I have been doing these drafts for years and if you send a list the first player on your list becomes off limits to me, even if he was the #1 player on my list.

I honestly don't think we would have been able to do these for nearly 8 months now on the Hoop if we were stealing picks from people.

 

[Nosferatu]

I have been thinking for a while now that when we start a draft I will require everyone to give me their cell# that way I can just text you when you are OTC it will do away with us asking everyone to leave a list.
