469

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

LTown will take 67 please.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

The Breakfast Company would like to select 1718, please.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

pure MI is ready, but waiting on above to be filled in

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Falcon would like to swap in 910 for first pick.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

1918

(CD's clock is at 9:00, so i'm not sure why our spot was filled in with a random)

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Pure MI wants 1023 and 314

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Sorry, forgot that my clock is fast

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

3539

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

And the spreadsheet crashed. I guess it doesn't like 300+ teams. I'll re enter everything, but there may be a bit of a delay.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

That's unfortunate, I hope it's a little more stable here on out.

Could you please update the first post with new times to resume?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Yeah give us a quick heads up. I'm live drafting. Thanks! :)

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Falcon will take 217 when the draft resumes.


Can you PM specifics of the crash? I've been hearing a lot of reports lately, I want to try to get in and fix it. (If it's the buttons disappearing... Save, exit, restart.)

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

My bet is it crashed when he tried removing the random team.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Probably using the older version, then.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

No, the buttons started to make the program stop responding, but it's only doing it some of the time.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Since 9:52 has passed, The Breakfast Company would like to select 548.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

245 for LTown Please

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Some how some teams (like 217 and 245) got removed from the list of teams before they were picked, this may be related to the crash.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

66

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Yep, that's the problem. Usually "Escape" will break you out.

Long story short: It is looking for those teams in the list so it can remove them. When it finds them already removed--or rather, can't find them--it freezes. I'll have to add in some more graceful error handling. *goes to find to-do list*

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

For our final pick, The Breakfast Company would like to select 2137.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

3098 for our last pick.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Swap 3rd pick for 1

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

They aren't available

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Don't forget to remove the teams from the list.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

You chose a great time to give us your pick. apologies for submitting it and then refreshing and seeing you made your pick.

We would like to select 857 if it is decided that you get 2137.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

waiting to see how this shakes out, then will pick manually

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Thinkin' I'll call in the FEDS for my third pick--don't worry, just 201.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

2834

Does the draft order flip then for Day 2?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Please swap 4130 for 3098 please. Thanks! :)

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

swap 5714 with 70.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Does it flip, or is it re-randomized?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

I'll leave the specifics on that to Bryce--I was thinking full re-shuffle, but just flipping would probably work too.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Flipping at least give you an even spread in your picks with an even number of teams selected. For instance, Pure MI got 14, 15, 42 which averages to 23.667. The #1 team got 1, 28,29 which gives them an average of: 19.33. After 4th round (assuming the flip IE just continuing serpentine), Pure MI would get 43, and #1 would get 56. 14,15,42,43 averages to:28.5 and 1,28,29,56=28.5.... This rebalances every time an even number is drafted. thus with 6, it would be "balanced" to continue serpentine...

Now in the points world, the teams do not have a linear distribution, so getting in towards the top is typically still a much better than being lower in the draft (there are times it is better to get the wrap).

OK, done compaigning... As you said, it is up to those actually doing the work (Bryce for this case).

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

It seems simpler to start up where we left off. Start at the bottom and work back up then down then up again.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan
 

Here's the draft for tomorrow:
I'll continue using any lists I have from today, except for Koko Ed's as all of it's teams have been picked.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Actually, this draft isn't completely over. I messed up Koko Ed's list when copying it, 2167 was actually 2137 and he actually should've gotten 2834. Sorry Pure Michigan, you'll have to make another last pick.

Here's the final results:

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Pure michigan will take 280 to finish out todays draft.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Clean up the que. I have 2834 but they are still listed as available. It'll save you alot of headaches later.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

70 needs to be removed as well.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Brolliance Beta submitted their picklist for this draft on the 27th to EricH. Doesn't seem that it ever made its way to the draft runner. Would a redraft be possible?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Pure MI picks 308.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

As a note to EricH, the draft assistant doesn't work for day two drafts like this as instead of looking through the list of available teams to see if a team is available, it assumes that if a team is on a list and it hasn't been picked yet that is available, which isn't the case for teams that were picked yesterday.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Rotten Peach Alliance will take 3641.

- Sunny G.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Try pulling the picked teams off the team list. That'll cause it to show red behind the buttons, which will allow you to remove the teams in question.

Another item on the "upgrade" list, along with cleaner handling of "end of list" and "team's not on the available list" scenarios...


Also: Brolliance, I was literally unable to forward the list. I specifically called that out: I assumed that you had, in fact, resent the list (when I finally got back online, about 8:30 PM EST last night)

Bryce, hold the draft while we figure out what's up and get the list over to ya.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Is this draft running or not? It's getting behind.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

We are HOLDING while we determine what to do with a list that didn't make it over yesterday.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Ltown is planning to live draft this event but I'm not available after a certain time but if I have a heads up I can plan ahead with an alarm. Thanks.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

I have to get up to work @ 5 so I'll probably have to drop out tonight.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Drop a list in, if you can. I hear you on the 5 AM work--is that when you get up or when you have to be there?


I would expect to be moving again shortly.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

When I get up.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

You could always reschedule. Saturday at 11am seems like a good time.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Ok, I'm not going to do an entire re-draft, because it shouldn't affect all of the teams, but I'll give brolliance the teams they would've had if I had had their list and the players affected can re-draft.

brolliance gets 1023 and pure michigan has to do another pick from the available teams at that point, and then whoever had the team that they pick will have to do the same, etc. I'll give 10 minutes for each pick as it's a bit odd.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Just give me randoms

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Might not have to do that depending on how long the "redraft" takes. And if we do have to move it, I'd rather run it simultaneously with one of the other districts instead of during kickoff strategy meetings.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Ok, puremichigan gets 2054 from their list, brolliance gets 548, and the breakfast company has to make a new pick, they have until 7:54. Then I make my pick after that.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

The Breakfast Company is going to select 2771.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

I pick 2137. Daedalite picks 141, then picks 1711 to replace 141. I pick 3098 and LTown has to make a new pick. They have until 8:06.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Sorry for the delay can we get 70 or 74 please?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Sure, I'll give you 74 as it causes less disturbance. Brolliance gets 4003 then and it's done. I'd love to reschedule the rest, but I have real robotics every other night this week. I'll just continue the day two draft, delayed by an hour.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Can you post the draft picks/availabilities for day 2?

- Sunny G.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Day 2:

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

1322 for Falcon. Let's get this show on the road!

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

You still have 74 on the available teams.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Nick says he wants 4362 for Team SuperPowerMatic

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

1711, please.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Sorry, forgot to remove them, they aren't available from the day 1 redraft.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

3572 or 3322 for us.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Then we would like to select 3602.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Ok, I'll let you have them

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

The Breakfast Company selects 4391.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

703 please

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Can you please put up a new post once teams have made their picks? It's a bit confusing and annoying to check whether or not you've edited the a previous post or still haven't updated the thread yet.

Additionally, did we just skip SuperPowerMatic?

- Sunny G.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Sure. It's past superpowermatic's time and the next two were random picks. I don't think they planed on picking either of those teams.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Okay. Forum team indicates it my turn to pick. I haven't see any updates or anything, so...

... Rotten Peach Alliance will take 3414.

Thanks,
- Sunny G.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Need to take 703 off the list, I almost went for 'em.

818 for Falcon.

FYI, I generally make sure that the last post in the thread (if I made it) has the list.


Also FYI, I'm doing some on-the-fly code writing and testing to sort out some of the issues we've seen. The real test comes when I run the second round of MAR tomorrow...

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

1243 instead of 3656

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

For which pick? I'll assume for the first one with your list for the second pick?

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Rotten Peach Alliance will take 3688.

- Sunny G.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

replace 1189 with 1684

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

1189 please.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Falcon repeats their claim of 818 for 2nd pick, and adds a swap of 894 for third pick.

And repeats their suggestion of removing 703 from the available list.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Did not see that, sorry.

Re: [FF]: [TSL]: Michigan Day 1
 

Here are the final picks, including both days:
