Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

How are the picking positions determined? Just wondering because I have picked last 3 times and never first. I also have an average pick position of 7.6 out of 13.3 (yes I was bored today in class.)

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Randomly. I randomize everyone, then split them into tiers; I could also split everyone into tiers, then randomize just as easily. I'm not quite sure how Ed does it.

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

id perfer the split then randomize... there is a lesser chance of innconsistancies that way

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

With this!
Oh and i don't scramble the Tiers. Too lazy.

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

There were complaints last year/earlier this year that everyone played against the same people every time. By randomizing and then splitting, you reduce that factor.

You do realize that if every draft was done that way, your (Nawaid's) chances of drawing Barry in your tier go through the roof, right? Especially since because to have 4 tiers (the only way to not have you in the same tier), the regional can't have more than 29 teams. Not many have that few!

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Nice try, Ed. You used my Boston scramble-split list for FLR and Oregon. (Then again, that was me scrambling the tiers for you... OK, you don't do it yourself, but your minions do.)

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Can we get this thead stickied, & the 2008 one unstickied when you get a chance? I couldn't find this thread at all a few minutes ago.

And we have JUST nyc tonight right?

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Correct. You'll have to get a mod on the other one, though.

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

I am finding the humor in being the standard when I am not noticing my picks being significantly better than anyone else that is actively participating. It really looks like every one has done their homework this year!



(not deans homework, scouting of course)

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Uh, you're just the winner of last year's Elgin Clock award by a mere 2-300 points (aka 2-3 regionals). So of course you get picked on as a standard.

You're not the only reason, though... the last 10 or so to sign up and stay in are pretty good at sending good lists in.

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

Consider it stuck. (and unstuck)

I SHOULD be back to drafting tomorrow. Boo sick and finals and working 2 jobs..

Re: [FF]: 2009 Season Long FF
 

I don't feel that the picklists are hard, no one should have trouble sending in their lists, you don't have to send them all at once, I only send in the ones relevent to the day that i am sending in.
