am i understanding correctly that this is lower impact and more lighthearted than the usual drafts?

if so, can i (finally) play?

You can certainly play ! But you need to log in everyday because your turn comes fast. Can you do that? If so, welcome !

Yes, nobody does profiles for this draft, and there is barely any arguing (or at least not last time).

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

ok i’m in

There are some arguing, but yeah. It's much less involved. The bread and butter of this draft is the unpredictability and strategizing.

Surprises will still happen every round IMO. No strategy has proven itself the best yet. The formula is still fresh enough.

If we hit 12, we could have two divisions of 6.

 

[ImporterExporter]

If we can get one more (12) that would be about perfect from a post draft perspective.

Cool.

Btw, this tag didn't work for me even though you only tagged 2 names. Website is so damn glitchy.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Fantastic!

12 is a perfect #

4 divisions with 3 teams each. Top 2 from each division make the playoffs.

Let's get a lottery set BB!

I know as it never saved my password, so I had to make a new account.

If you care to get back in your old account, you could email hfboards support and they could merge your accounts. Or at least that used to work...

I can do the draft lottery tomorrow evening/night (eastern time).

 

[The Macho King]

The lottery is just an RNG right? I have a 12 sided die. I could do it when I get home.

The draft starts Wednesday at 5pm eastern, so please wait untill...

Tuesday at 5pm eastern, or as soon thereafter.

The lottery should be done tonight given we have 12 teams now. Draft starts tomorrow.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

No problem, I should be able to do this between 9PM and midnight EST tonight.

 

[VanIslander]

LOCK & LOAD.

I'll answer you, so you don't feel ignored.

not that anyone would cheat in a low-key draft like this, but it's still preferred that someone without a team does the draft order.

You just really wanted to find a use for your 12 sided die, eh?

No problem and good to have you.

On another topic, I never got a notification for you mentioning my name. The site has problems.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Updated the OP with the rules and the close-calls. Will create the table later.

Edit: Table done. Locked & loaded. Draft can start as soon as @Hockey Outsider does the lottery. Clock starts tomorrow at 5 PM EST.
