Re: Proposal: A New Way to Run FIRST Choice
Each team gets assigned a random number, 1...27xx.
Each team created a prioritized list of things they would like to order (in qty 1). Ex:
1. Talon
2. Talon
3. Talon
4. Talon
5. Drill
6. Video card
etc.
The system automatically goes through a serpentine draft, assigning one item at a time. First pick in the first round is last pick in the second, etc.
Draft continues until all lists are empty, all credits are spent, or all stocks are depleted - whichever comes first for each team. The whole draft would take seconds.
After the draft, each team is presented with a voucher for the products they were assigned along with shipping information. At this step, a team has a chance to remove any products they no longer want from their order and then check out.
A couple days after the draft, FIRST Choice opens up ala yesterday, with a free for all to spend remaining credits on remaining merchandise. But without some teams getting 11 Talons and others getting stuck with low value items.
