How do I got about asking to change some of the teams for those I'd want in drafts that are already complete?

Ask the commish of the league directly in the thread. Make sure that the team is available though.

How do the randomized rankings work?

Having 1195 at the top of the list and the tops of many drafts does not make any sense considering the past history. Neither does having 2132, but we'll give them time. Outside of 1618, 1168, 2377, and maybe 2120 and 2234, there are way too many teams here that are either way underrated, had their performances abberrated by circumstances beyond their control (mechanical or driver), or had a couple of pretty good seasons and are way too much a discount pick (614 and 1748).

Exactly that. It's randomized, so it basically puts stuff all over the place, with no rhyme or reason.

I believe (And Ed, correct me if I'm wrong), that the randomized rankings are exactly that: random, and that they are the order of teams that will be assigned to players that do not draft in their time slot or send in a list.

If you don't send a list and don't make your choices, don't blame the commissioner of that draft for a bad team. I've seen at least one case where having a list in or not made the difference between a lousy alliance and an outstanding one.

Keep an eye on this part of the forum. Soon as the robots are shipped individual region leagues will start popping up. Space is limited so get in early!

Re: So, What exactly is Fantasy FIRST?

Possibly a stupid question but I noticed that the way the team pools are listed it appears as though different teams have different status and possibly different values. Is there any truth in that and if so could someone explain it?

How so? The team pools are listed numerically. No special status to one team or another.

Re: So, What exactly is Fantasy FIRST?

are we allowed to trade our drafting positions before the draft?

That's a negative. Drafting positions are randomly assigned. If you get a lousy position one draft, there's a good chance that you'll get a better position the next draft. You also can't change your tier, AFAIK.

Re: So, What exactly is Fantasy FIRST?

What are the different tiers for? Are they just copies of the same competitions?

There are too many players in the Season Long League to allow everyone to draft three teams from the pool of teams for an event. Players are split into tiers, which each have a separate copy of the team pool to allow all players to select three teams for each event.

Re: So, What exactly is Fantasy FIRST?

Ah, okay. Is there still time enough to start up another tier for a few events for this year, or do I just have to wait until next year?

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 21:35.
