What teams do we KNOW were on the usfirst list and not on the firstinspires list? 1319, Palmetto (taken) 118, Alamo (?) Just trying to figure out what teams are being added before releasing the waiver hounds. I know 118 has a couple of claims already. |

1319 gets their asterisk removed--we'd put that on due to the confusion, before I realized just how extensive the problem could be--and is not available for claiming. 118 at GTRE--someone might have. I'll have to ask for a confirmation of claim or not (anybody who made one, you know who you are...) Ah, that's the one I bounced: 2614, Pittsburgh. I'll put in for them for my 2nd pick (though I think I'll probably lose to RFA if they claim...) orangemoore, 207 would have been L.A. Regional. (I'll figure out later whether Falcon will put a claim in.) As noted, waiver priority is reverse order of signup to start. |

Do waivers need to be submitted in the main thread? Other than priority being stated and the 3 day rule, are there any relevant rules to the waiver process? |
Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
Quote:
The way we (OK, I) usually do it is claims can come in via main and draft threads, or by PM. They're awarded in a stated order (below), and if one of your claims is awarded you go to the bottom of the list (and figure out which team to give up). Here's the trick with this, though: If there's only one or two teams on waiver, generally you'll just have to be of higher priority than whoever wanted the team. In this case, we've got 3, so it'll be more of a full waiver. Currently on waiver: 118, GTRE; 2614, Pittsburgh; 207, Los Angeles Priority list with current claims: Code:

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
It may be best to create another thread for waivers and have all waiver related information (waiver, claims, etc.) be posted in that thread.
It will help with transparency, confusion, and will ultimately keep this thread clean for administrative and logistical posts. - Sunny G. |

That being said: I am calling it that all teams went onto the official list at midnight EST on 12/3 (going into 12/4) because that's about the time the switch happened, AND any previously-existing claims are valid due to the confusion. I know three players want 118; several folks want 2614. At midnight EST on 12/6, the window will close. On another note: I'm going to have a lot of trouble getting Israel going on 12/6 at anything like the usual time. My schedule this weekend seems to have been shot all to pieces on short notice as regards draft-running. (If I'm lucky I'll be able to get it UP--but I'm not exactly feeling lucky right now!) I apologize for the short notice, but if anybody can pick that one up, I'd appreciate it. |

All right, we've got a bunch of waivers to issue.
118, GTRE, goes to SwampLife (who is releasing 1075 on the free-agent market--PM submission) 2614, Pittsburgh, goes to The ULCAN (released team TBA) And 207, Los Angeles, goes to Rotten Fruit Alliance (for a team to be named). This leaves the priority order at: Code:

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
Well, it is now after midnight EST, so we have a bunch of waivers to award. Now, note that all dropped teams are free agents--some of them might be decent, maybe not.
So, without further ado, here's the teams, in order of first-round selections (two teams opted not to try to pick up a waiver team): FIRST Pick scored a big jackpot, 254 in Central Valley, along with 2451 in St. Louis. Orange Juice picked up 2614 (Palmetto), 842 (Arizona North), and 1714 (Lake Superior) Falcon swiped 294 (Los Angeles), 694 (NYC), 771 (GTR-Central), 1675 (St. Louis), 1551 (Tech Valley), and 3173 (Buckeye). Swamp Life picked up 4451 and 1251 in Orlando. The ULCAN was busy, scooping up 1310 and 1285 (GTR-East), 639 (Buckeye), and 3481 (Alamo). Rotten Fruit Alliance wound up with 2512 (Northern Lights), 4212 (Central Illinois), and 1126 (Pittsburgh). And wrapping it all up with Broconnor, the brothers O'Connor racked up 5254 (Tech Valley), 379 (Buckeye), 2081 (Central Illinois), 537 (Arkansas Rock City), and 4355 (Mexico City). I don't know for sure which teams are being dropped for most of the teams; I expect that all the swap-outs will happen in the next day or so. (I'll try to get to mine tomorrow.)

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
Not that it'll necessarily be of interest to anybody yet, but I've done a slight reconfigure to the drafting program. V3.2.2 has the capability to run drafts without randomizing the player list first. Could be useful when setting up the second day of district block drafts...
That being said, it does have a bug near the end of the macro--it doesn't appear to end cleanly. I'll try to troubleshoot that later on, but it doesn't appear to affect anything. I think I might have removed it with one final change, but I'm not sure yet. If someone does see that crop up, feel free to let me know what you think it is. And I've got another alteration I want to make, or maybe two, but those can wait a bit. |
Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
So, now that Regionals are beginning to come to a close and Districts are coming soon, I was curious about how the block drafts work for the bigger districts. Are there 2 completely separate drafts happening for these districts (a.k.a. choosing from the same team set twice) or is it one huge draft where everyone will essentially end up with 6 unique teams from a district after 2 days of drafting?

As an advisory to all players, tiered drafts are FAST. Typically they've finished in under an hour. If standard timing is used, the longer tier (1, with 5 players) will only take 25 minutes for the first round, followed by 15 for the second, and 5 for the third. 50 minutes... if the draft runner didn't slow down to work the other tier from time to time (and that one will be even faster). Send lists. |

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
One of the least-used rules in the Fantasy FIRST rulebook is the "three strikes" rule, if you can call it that, which is part of the Attendance section. From the posted rules, the rule is as follows:
Quote:
And, unfortunately, we have a third warning. Bobo Brigade has missed six drafts in a row for the third time, and has been given two prior warnings. Bobo Brigade is now out of the league. All his teams will be placed on waiver, as soon as we can figure out who they are (shouldn't take long). How does this affect the posted Idaho draft? Obviously, there will be some reconfiguring--Bobo Brigade was in the 4-player tier, which is now a 3-player tier. We'll either reset to a 4-4 instead of a 3-5, or we'll go to a single-tier draft (though I'm leery of only having one spare team, myself, we can do that). Exactly what we'll do will be announced after some due consideration. |

Here's a partial list--I think we're still hunting down a few teams from events after Ventura.

Palmetto 2252 |
Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
After consideration...
Idaho will be run as a single tier. In the event that fewer teams attend than are enough for one tier, we'll assume that whoever gets shortchanged had a perfectly average (by mean) team (rounded down to the nearest whole number of FF points) for their third robot. |

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
A couple quick schedule reminders:
1) Drafting resumes on 12/27 with a pair of Canadian regionals (Western Canada and Windsor-Essex). 2) Waiver claims are due 12/25 at 11:59 PM EST. So far I've got claim lists from 6/8 teams playing; if I hear from both of the other two earlier I may go ahead and signal a closed waiver claim period. Edit: Make that 7/8 teams with lists in, and by the looks Alamo, Waterloo, and Wisconsin will be gone by the 4th spot on the waiver claim priority list. Not in that order, though... |
Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
Waivers have been processed, and it looks like we have a bunch of teams to hand out.
In order of initial waiver priority... TBC picks up 2826 in Wisconsin and 120 in Buckeye. FIRST Pick snags 148 in Waterloo, 1515 in Ventura, 2339 in San Diego, and174 in Finger Lakes. Swamp Life gets 1477 in Alamo (dropping 653) and 2848 in Dallas (6133 drops). OrangeJuice takes 1574 in Israel. RFA takes 2512 in Iowa (2883 out) and 364 in Rocket City (4188 out). ULCAN grabs 144 from Pittsburgh and 5012 in Los Angeles. Broconnor claims 2252 in Palmetto for 2393. Falcon takes 364 in Bayou, dropping 4316. Current waiver priority is: OrangeJuice Broconnor Falcon The Breakfast Company Swamp Life Rotten Fruit Alliance The ULCAN FIRST Pick And drafting resumes tomorrow. |
