Crunch Time For Selections
TO ALL GMs.
If we want to complete the draft prior to the tournament start on Dec 25th, we need to speed up the draft process. At this pace we will only complete 6 rounds by midnight Dec 24th.
Not sure if we should select a time over the next 48 hours where we all try to be online for the same 3 hr period and just rapid fire off picks. Otherwise, I need to reduce the time allotted between drafts (maybe 3 hours) and then close out the draft from midnight to 6am so that no one can be scooped.
My only other thought is reduce the # of rounds once again by reducing forwards from 5 to 4 or 3.
Any suggestions?
VanIslander has suggested an extra round of selections where each GM can draft an extra player to use in case of injury, etc. It could be any position and the pick would be a strategy pick for each GM. I like the idea but it means we really have to get going with the regular draft rounds first. VanIslander was thinking of using the extra player as a roster replacement and each Gm would identify when to move the player in and out of the lineup. I would prefer to just drop your lowest score from the draftee who plays the position your replacement player has taken. In other words, if you select a goalie as your replacement round player, you could only be credited points for 1 goalie not both. So the top point producing goalie would count towards your point total and the lower scoring goalie would be scratched. This way, I just record the highest score for you replacement position instead of tracking roster changes.
