You guys are having full playoffs then? I'll temporarily sticky the main ATD threads then to keep things separate.

tbh, with the chaos these two drafts have created I dont care if we skip playoffs.

 

[seventieslord]

Well there definitely can't be playoffs in the other draft. In this one we could still bang out a quick one.

 

[seventieslord]

But yeah, it's extremely lame that we're doing all this breakneck speed drafting to satisfy the addictions of a select few, having two farcical drafts instead of what could have been a really good, well paced AA draft with better research, bios, discussion and analysis. How will anyone looking at either of these drafts get a good idea of who deserves a AAA promotion? I mean, sure, we could have an all star team, but is everyone even informed enough to vote on them with the way this thing was slap-chopped together?

I wont partake in a playoff series and spoke to grandpa and he feels the same way. This was too rushed and it seemed to be about to make as many picks as possible as fast as possible. I dont see the point in drafts if there isnt any discussions or anything. Ppl just seemed to pick players and log day after day after day. Hell, even the MLD/AAA was quiet tho not as bad.

 

[BubbaBoot]

I do know I've been spending far too much time researching but I also discover players I haven't known before....then somebody throws out names that I overlooked. It's intriguing bur my schedule is starting to get in the way.

I enjoy doing these drafts a lot and whatever but I got to think we should never be in a situation where we are doing the A draft in a new year and basing it upon the previous year's ATD. We managed to get 5 drafts in in 2011, maybe in the future we could do the drafts based upon that schedule and not have to rush to get a draft done.

Spanish flu outbreak hits!
Not seen since 1919 Stanley Cup Finals were cancelled

Balgonie awarded the cup and trustees allow any cup challenge series that may come along if a worthy opponent wishes to contend in a best-of-3 series like in the early days of hockey history.

I would only like to see how close or not close it was, if its not a big hassle for ya ass

Without getting into really detailed voting data, here's how it looks in terms of tiers:

1. Balgonie Dallas Stars
--------------------------
2. Pittsburgh Ninjas
--------------------------
3. Seattle Hulks
4. Lindsay Lohans
5. Erie Canals
6. La Quinta Inns and Suites
--------------------------
7. Dirty Sanchez's Swedish Meatballs
--------------------------
8. Riyadh Oil Kings
9. Boston Bronies
10. Danville Half Boards

The interesting information here is that the 3, 4, 5, 6 teams were all separated by only a single point each, and the 8, 9, 10 teams were also very tight.

Im special

 

[ResilientBeast]

I'm slowly improving

 

[BubbaBoot]

I'm kind of disappointed actually. I thought I'd be more in the middle of the pack.

Would like some feedback, eh?

 

[ResilientBeast]

If anyone has some spare time, I'd love some comments from a veteran on my team.

We should have a playoff, then there will be lots comments on every team.

I hoped to win but I expected this to be a battle. I had a lot of luck in the AAA that I didn't have here. however the regular season voting went, I looked forward to a playoff where we could give these players and teams the analysis they deserve, and I could either topple the regular season champ or be toppled myself.

The Spanish flu was supposed to cancel the A playoffs. Not the AA. So let's still do this.
