Re: [FF]: 2015 Season Long Fantasy FIRST: Traditional League

OK, I'm back online, I think. (crosses fingers).

Which means that I'll be putting up MAR as soon as I can get a team list put together.


For Ed: The options we really had were to run every single district (all 48 or so of them) or group them in some way. Now, 48 drafts is about 24 days of drafting, at 2/day, which puts us either with a November 1st start or with a finish around Week 3 of build. So, I'm utilizing a block system to try to give everybody a fair(ish) shot at putting together a powerful alliance. The attempt is to give everybody as many teams as reasonable (in MI's case, we could probably be doing 10 rounds if we wanted to) in each district. Scores will be averaged (mean score) across all district events played in. Unless... Any of the scorers want to try to normalize to two district events?


I intend to implement one trade rule for the block drafts: Can't trade a team with >1 play in or out. Gotta have only one play, or zero. (Translation: draft a clunker, you got one shot to drop 'em. Notice everybody missed a dark horse, got one shot to grab 'em.)
