NT NBA League - Draft options
Posted: Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:28 pm
We can go with an offline draft... which gives us more control over the players we choose. It would basically be in a thread format...
Let's say the order of the draft was like...
Silv
Lyion
Zan
Arlos
Malluas
Vonkaar
Silv would make a post in the thread saying, "Kevin Garnett"
Then Lyion would post saying, "Tim Duncan"
Zan would reply with something stupid like, "Chris Bosch"
Arlos would post saying, "Shaquille O'neil"
Malluas would say, "Elton Brand"
Vonkaar would say, "DIRK"
Then, it would go back to Silv...
It cycles until everyone has their rosters complete. I would have the top post in the thread edited with the picks. Lyion could help me out with the edits for that... hell, I might make Zan a temporary Sports mod to help keep it edited and up-to-date. Tomorrow is Saturday and would be a good day to do this (for most people).
I could make another rule where if someone doesn't respond with their pick within 15-30 minutes of their turn being called, they would get a pick from the Yahoo default list (which is pretty good) based on which players remains from the list. They get the best available player if they have the roster spot open, otherwise they get the next best until a roster spot is filled... meaning, if Silvestra has Shaq and Nesterovic for her centers and she misses her pick and the best person on the default list is another center, that player would be skipped to the next player who might be a forward, for which she has a roster spot open.
This would give everyone great control over their initial team, it would be a lot of fun and even the absent people would still end up with a nice team.
The other option is to use the Yahoo auto-draft feature. This basically follows a similar automated concept... you don't get to see who gets who... you just build your draft list (I would like the players in THIS order... KG, Tim, Shaq, Kobe, Dirk, Elton... etc) and the system cycles through the list automatically. So... I hit 'okay' and everyone has their team... not much control if you ask me.
Sooo... which shall it be? Auto-draft or the thread-style? The decision will be made at 11pm tonight. Draft will start at 10am tomorrow morning one way or another.
