Draft a Team game: who's in?

The reason for the 12-hour clock is that if we do 24 hours, the game might end up taking till next year.

The "waiting list" option might be a good idea in a pinch. I'm on my computer most of the time at work, so I can always enter the pick if someone can't make it online. But I think that would best be used when guys know they're going to have a hard time getting to the computer on a given day/few days, like when they're on vacation.

We'll vote on that and the other issues once we have a full group.

 

done.

 

FYI, we'll probably go ahead and cap this sucker at the end of today, since most folks will have cycled through the Board by then. I'd like to have 12, but 8 or even ten will still be fun times.

 

Both you guys are listed. This gonna be crazy.

Another idea I had was a "coaches draft": first round is head coaches, then everyone gets an OC, DC, and maybe a set number of particular position coaches.

And instead of just voting on the best team, maybe we'll have several head-to-head polls and discussion threads, if people get into it enough to participate? We can vote on both issues as well as Ks/Ps and other issues.

Glad so many folks are interested!

 

My plan is to see how many people we have this evening, and if it's 10 or 12 we'll go ahead and vote on some issues we've discussed here. Kickoff will be this weekend; I'd love to be up and going Friday night so we can get a lot of picks done. I can randomize the picks myself or, if folks prefer, ask a mod to assign the pick order.

Coaches: for simplicity's sake I think we should stick to currently employed coaches. We can include college and UFL in that, but no retirees and no one currently not looking (so no Fisher, Gruden, or Cowher, but Schottenheimer is available). I also vote for no demotions from NFl head coach to coordinator since that would break the reality.

I'd like to do a coaches' draft at the end of the players' draft, in reverse order of the players' draft. So whomever picks first in the players' draft picks their HC last.

No trading right now because we only have as many picks as roster slots. But if we have a lot of fun amd want to keep this going, I'd like to do an abbreviated draft of rookies after the season where there CAN be trades.
