BZFL 2004 - Draft Question

[Michael82]

I think the draft order should go in the opposite of the Stadium draft....Meaning whoever picked first in the stadium should get last pick in the first round and last pick in the stadium should get first in the regular draft.....Good idea Eb???

That way people at the bottom don't feel like they are being screwed twice :)

I agree.

What do you say Eb? Good idea? Others seem to like it....

Works for me. It would mean I get back to back draft picks.

I only hope we start soon AND that the draft doesn't take that long. We have a lot of spots to fill and there's no way we can do it if people take forever on each pick.

I was going to have a random draw for the stocking draft. It will be run snake order like fantasy football drafts. All future FA and rookie drafts will be held in a worst to first fashion based on the previous years records.

As far as how long the draft will take....I will assign time blocks for each pick...if the person does not pick in their slotted time then the next person can go. To avoid being skipped if somebody is not able to make it to their time they can always e-mail me a list and I will take the next available person on that list.

for example...

Round 1

8:00-8:15 Buffalo Bills
8:15-8:30 New England
8:30-8:45 New York Jets

The Bills would be on the clock up until 8:15...once the Bills pick the Pats can go...they might pick by 8:20 and then the Jets could go...whatever the case, if they have not picked by 8:30 the Jets would go on the clock and the Pats could choose at any time...being skipped does not mean you lost your chance to pick in that round...you have that whole round to get a pick in...if you do not pick by the end of the round then you can't pick in that round...

after the $5 mil rounds, to speed up the draft, each owner will be able to select TWO players - should they chose to - in each round (you just have to pay them that much)...that will make it go faster.

Come on....Make the draft the opposite of the stadium draft....COME ON EB!!
