Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

What about something like 60-70% of the mean drafted teams score times 3?

The only issue with the non-drafted teams mean is that it would probably be extremely low, considering the amount of teams in a regional that don't get picked. This could be offset by multiplying that mean by 1.5x or such, but then you run the risk in small regionals where the non-picked teams randomly pop off and score a lot of points.

Also with the non-picked teams, it doesn't account at all for your pick position, say if you were #1(It's entirely possible you invoke this as 1st pick given a good enough reason)(I can think of two off the top of my head). Using your #1 pick up for that rotation for points that would basically equal last pick or atleast close would definitely impact your ranking.

Another way would be to use pick position as a indicator of expected points and multiply the mean of picked teams by that, say +5-10% for each position you are above pick 5, -5-10% for each position you are below 5.

It's important to remember that the system would be extremely hard to abuse, as you'd need a very good reason to evoke it, and it'd have to be accepted, not just a "we can't make the draft today, instead of randoms or a picklist we want to evoke this rule". Also, I don't really see this being used by any teams with more than one member, its basically just a way for single person teams to completely remove themselves from a draft completely so they have no connection to any supposed bias for the event, at least thats how I infer it based on what Eric has been saying(say you end up being a judge of some sort for a competition and you end up giving a reward to a team you happen to have drafted, just one example of possible uses that I can see).
