When you run a draft you should have three or four windows open at once on CD. One window open to each draft, a window open for private messages and a window open for your random rankings. Refresh the private message page often. Sometimes it's best to hover on the portal page to see if league members make their own picks. If someone offers up their picks to be random take the opportunity to get ahead using that and lists. Don't wait til the last minute to submit picks or you could easily fall behind and miss someone else making a pick or worse have them legally steal another members pick because you weren't fast enough getting the pick in (sometimes it's better to get the post up and edit it afterwards with additional picks). The best way to maintain the draft que is to select the pick in the Teams section and cut the selected number and then paste it in the time slot.That way you know who gets what and eliminate confusion by leaving desired picks in the que for others to choose.
Keep track of where you left off on the randomized list and draft lists (if possible). Mistakes happen. If there is a dispute involve the commissioner (me). In certain cases there are cause for a redraft (forgotten lists, draftee or teams) , Do note draftees missing some random rookie team in the third round is not reason to make a federal case. As said mistakes happen, you'll live. Do not delete draft lists until later in case of a redraft or a dispute. Follow up on the draft to clean up any changes draftees wish to make afterwards.
I hope some of these tips helped.Good luck!

Quick question about FF Draft Assistant - for every pick, do I need to remove that team off the rand_teams.txt file or is it smart enough to see that that team has already been picked?

Right now there are only 3 teams signed up.

Any idea of when we should have the draft for this event?

LTownThrowdown
Canadian Bacon +1 + Joe
Team Awesome Blossom
Beastly as my Fajitas
The Machine

You guys aren't in any real danger yet but your lack of involvement is a concern and could become a real problem quickly. Nothing simply submitting a list stating randoms can solve.

With all the remaining days single-draft days, would it be possible to put it on one of the other days (2nd, 3rd, 4th) if someone stepped up?

I can't say I can volunteer, due to time constraints from other sources.

A BC and MD team also dropped out.

Originally Posted by PVCpirate (Post 1232480)

I'm particularly interested because I volunteered to help with scoring. Is it usually just a list of scores for each team posted at some point after the event?

I can back up that statement, 4546 was awarded inspiration and highest seed, but not all star. That award was entirely skipped over.

If I had to guess, it's because there was only one rookie at this event. I don't think I've ever seen an event where a rookie won all three rookie awards. Moreover, I don't think FIRST wanted to give a team an instant spot at championships by default.

The Yellow Alliance...............867
Canadian Bacon +1 + Joe.......803
Peach Alliance......................793
TeamRUSH...........................762
Team Awesome Blossom.........748
Beastly As My Fajitas.............710
Team Paradise......................682
Falcon.................................665
Team Pascack.......................659
LTownThrowdown..................659
Rusty bucket o bolts...............645
Team 2.................................617
The Machine..........................593
X-Cats.................................569
Team Flippin' The Greatest.......535
PureMichigan.........................534
The Fellowship of the Fez........525

So from now on I will continue to submit the scores to each event in their individual threads, but on this thread I will post that weeks score as well as the combined score for all the weeks. On week 3 and week 6 I will also be posting the scores for MAR and FiM for each group

It can be counted with either Week 2 or Week 3. The gap is larger between Israel and Week 3, though, so it makes more sense as a Week 2.

Elim win/loss counts too.

James needs to redo ALL of Week 1, then. I'm over 100 points short, and I expect that others are as well.

Here's my "shortcut" method: For each round a team advances, I add 4 points. (QF=4 total, SF=14 total, F=28 total, W=42 total) Then I look and see if any rounds went to a third match, in which case I add 2 points to the loser's FF score. Check for backups, and I'm done.
