THE 2-PER-DECADE DRAFT: An All-Time 2-week HOLIDAY Game (from Dec. 18th to Dec 31st)

[ted2019]

Not having a draft clock is the deciding factor for myself also. I'm home-schooling my 7 year old the entire year and the last week before Christmas is going to be busy.

 

[VanIslander]

That is the point of not having a clock.

No waiting!

No checking in three times to see if it's your time.

Pick when you want, when it is convenient. It could be at the breakfast table, in the car or on the bus ride home, before dinner or just before bed. Whenever it works for you!

Picking anytime during the day is great for the busiest time of the year. Like I said, we've done it before and it works like a charm!

 

[Habsfan18]

I’ll still take part, just don’t know what time I’ll be able to make my picks each day.

 

[ted2019]

That's fine, I will play still. Do we pick our team all in one day?

 

[Habsfan18]

It will be 2 picks per team, per day. Any time after the clock officially starts each AM.

 

[ted2019]

Gretzky is 1980's.
Howe is 1950's (he won 5 of his 6 Harts that decade).
Roy & Forsberg are 1990's.
Dionne is 1980's.

Are there any other players that fit in this?

 

[VanIslander]

... a player who played in part of 5 seasons in any 0 to 9 decade - e.g., 1930-1939 - qualifies).

It's a simple, easy standard to meet.

 

[Habsfan18]

It's a simple, easy standard to meet.

He means any other players who could comfortably fit as picks in two separate decades. We should probably come up with a definitive list before we start this thing to avoid confusion. Much like the list available for the OPPF format.

 

[ted2019]

It's a simple, easy standard to meet.

How about a player that played in more then 2 decades like Jagr?

 

[Habsfan18]

How about a player that played in more then 2 decades like Jagr?

Jagr should definitely be considered 90’s.

 

[VanIslander]

1. We could limit players to their most dominant decade;

Or

2. Let a GM claim (when picking) a player representing ANY decade in which they played part of 5 seasons (decade from Jan 1st 00 to Dec 31st 09).

The second way is simple and easy, the former more historically apt.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: WE WILL DO THE 2ND WAY and let the GM claim any decade in which a player played at least one game in five seasons that decade at the highest level of competition.

[ted2019]

My wife's schedule has change and I won't be able to participate in this.

 

[VanIslander]

Yeah, it's hard to get online for 10 minutes of hockey history these days.

Take care.

With my son's school schedule and my wife's work schedule changing this week unexpectedly, yes it will be hard getting online for 10 minutes a day for something like this. Other stuff has top priority currently.

 

[VanIslander]

Have a good holidays!

 

[ted2019]

Have a good holidays!

I will make time to play.

 

[ted2019]

Are we suppose to put everything in this thread ( picks, rosters, decade) ?

 

[VanIslander]

I'll set things up tomorrow now that sign ups are done.

 

[ted2019]

I'll set things up tomorrow now that sign ups are done.

Can we use players from the 1890's,2000's also?

 

[VanIslander]

Can we use players from the 1890's,2000's also?

EDIT: NO. LET'S KEEP THINGS SIMPLE and have the 20th Century only.

 

[Habsfan18]

Wait, I just realized today was the 18th. Are we still doing this? And does it still start today?

 

[Habsfan18]

Since it is December 18th and now 10:02am eastern...

And since we can only draft 1 of the big 4..

I’ll select Bobby Orr (70’s?), and Jean Beliveau (50’s)

 

[Habsfan18]

I wasn’t planning on picking so early, but I have actually been off work sick for the past few days.

And since I haven’t specified, I’ll be the Cleveland Crusaders

 

[ted2019]

The Philadelphia Firebirds will select:
Doug Harvey (1950's)
Mario Lemieux (1980's)
