12 still means 3 team final. I dont like that. I want a 3rd place game... Lets get 16...

There are 2 ways. 12 teams, Draw #s for each team to determine the order drafting, with the understanding the 1st 8 teams that pick will play a wildcard round, #1 vs #8, etc, while #'s 9-12 get a bye and play the 4 winners. That would put you on 8. Allow trades at the start of the draft for guys willing to move up for a star in exchange for playing another round, or guys to move down. This would also set the matchups before hand, with the ranking we do to serve as strickly a tiebreaker.

Option B, stop at 8

Question... Should we stop and play with 8?

I don't like playing 3 team finals... This way we could have a 3rd place game as well and no 2nd chance teams or any of that.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I think more than 8 would be best with the player pool were working with.

Trades are still an option? Or no?

We didnt have a single trade in the last draft... Crazy after like 30 of them in our baseball draft.

Was the trade calculator thing involved, or just nobody traded?

Will players be assigned their draft position then?

So... we dont seem to be getting anyone... Being this one is baseball I really wanna get started. Should we just get started with 8? Obviously I would like to have more but I love that the playoffs will play out without a 3 team game.

I say roll with 8. I agree the talent pool is great. But with the two per decade rule, it will still take a good plan to complete
