BZFL - Inaugural Stocking Draft Order

[Ebenezer]

The draft order for the inaugural league stocking draft is:

1 Retro Raiders
2 pmacla
3 LA Aztecs
4 Rochester Rampage
5 Super Deuces
6 Fighting Shih Tzus
7 Tampa Bay Tarpons
8 Rochester Rejects
9 LindellSucks
10 Golden Brewsers
11 Oklahoma Outlaws
12 Ebenezer Norsemen
13 Jersey Jaguars
14 Kalamazoo Kamikaze Squirrels
15 Nasty Nights
16 Bushwhackers
17 Spaz Spartans
18 Erie Assassins
19 New York Goldmine's
20 Maine Men

The next step is to review the player rankings. I hope to have those out later this week. At that point we can start the draft. To make things go faster you can post if you are skipping rounds. For example, I will not be drafting in the first round. I will exclude myself from the list. If you know you are not picking for a set of rounds just indicate that. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DRAFT IN EVERY ROUND. YOU CAN STOCK YOUR TEAM AND NOT PAY ANYBODY MORE THAN A $1 MILLION. YOUR TEAM MAY SUCK BUT YOU CAN DO IT.

I will set up a thread for each round. Please only post picks in that thread. IF you want to discuss how the draft is going please start another thread.

At this rate, I would suspect the $10 Million first round will be held on 4/15. We will take weekends off. The $7.5 million second and third rounds will be held on 4/18.

I'm glad you mentioned about not having to draft in each round. That's not a bad idea.

works out great...got to remember this is a keeper league and that after the first season new contract have to be tendered with raises...you cannot stock your team with high priced talent and try to keep it together long term.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not even concerned with the win-loss record for this season, anyway. I'm more concerned with putting some of the pieces in place for the long run.

People will have to be careful of thier spending. Either Way there will be a lot of nice mixes.

Man, this is the part that sucks about not having a M-F work week. Sure, everyone else gets to be free during their weekend, but on my days off, I'll be stuck checking the computer every hour or so. I may have to skip some rounds, due to inability to be near a computer. I guess my team will save some money that way, eh? lol

yup...sorry about that...but having done this before it is next to impossible to get even a round done on the weekends. btw, if you want a pick in a round and cannot make it just submit a list of players for that round to me by PM or e-mail.

Ally, I suggest emailing Eb a list of guys you'd want for the round (s) you might not be available. That way, if you aren't there, he can select for you, from the list provided.

Yah, I have the first pick in the draft, but will be in school. What do you suggest?

send me a list or pass in the first round...if you miss your pick you can still pick at any time up until the end of the round.

It looks like the 3rd round is the reverse of the 2nd round - which makes sense, since we effectively drew lots for position in this first draft - however, shouldn't the 2nd round then be the reverse of the first?
