I need 13 GMs
Much better. Poll section they only look at the top line, top pair, and GHow does everyone feel about keeping voting strictly to HF games though for a change, do we think that's better or worse?
I'm gonna keep it to this section AT LEAST until semis, depending how many different GMs we can get in here. Anyone want to @ or pm some of the posters they know? @LT I know you've been good for that before.I have always said I hate the polls section for these. It's unfortunate we can't get a larger sample by doing it here but the smaller sample here is usually better than the bigger sample on the polls.
God is it ever.There are pretty obvious biases in both voting groups
I always feel like defense is massively underrated here
Some absolutely atrocious D cores have made it way too far in these games based on in-house voting
Keep 3RR for sure. I think it (mostly) makes up for not having a high draft pick.Possible options I want feedback on:
- Removing 3rd Round Reversal
- Voting location
- Other options to increase parity of draft
- Ways to cause a more unpredictable trade board
Not all of these are for this game, just thoughts
@hockeynorth One possible idea for the game after this one is to do a WJC fantasy pool. That could be fun.
If needed, I'm down to take 2 teams again in this game.
It would be fun to do a randomizer for each round, which you use at the beginning of each round. In theory, it would even out over 20 rounds. I would also keep all the players on their toes. It would also help those who draft 27-31 who have to wait 50 picks throughout the draft.Keep 3RR for sure. I think it (mostly) makes up for not having a high draft pick.

Maybe after the 2nd round. Because after 64 players, the difference in value decreases. It would also make trading later picks a little more fun.Fun idea...but would never work.
Imagine someone getting 1st + 35th overall for example while someone else gets 32nd + 60th
Draft over for someone right there.

I know it's more of a fun idea to shake up the game, but I can just picture now some people really benefitting from it while some get completely screwed. Need to give anyone a fair chance.
I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know. I'll join for sure.Dunno if there will be much interested in a WJC pool on this board.
Although many people (including myself) run them annually on the International Tournaments foum come early-mid December.
Speak for yourself. Winning a fantasy draft earlier this year has been my life's biggest accomplishment to date. The Stanley Cup pales in comparison to the prestigious HF Championship.The only reason to do it is for fun. If anyone is truly worried about fairness, I don't get it—apparently the game is already "unfair" to posters who value D. There is no material value to winning, even the sense of accomplishment is minimal. And at some point the difference between picking first in a round and last in the same round is insignificant.
