Re: Proposal: A New Way to Run FIRST Choice

I don't like that as a mentor I am doing a crazy thing like WORKING when FIRST Choice opens up. I don't like being penalized because a meeting runs over and I am late logging in by 30 minutes. That has always been my gripe about this system. This year it looks like that technically would not have mattered because we probably would have had a problem anyway if we logged in right on time. I am also glad I am helping a team that got the standard KOP it seems like the voucher system is going to hurt some teams since they were not able to buy what they wanted to buy. Hopefully lots of restocks happen between now and kick off.

I agree there has to be a better way. I think the draft system sounds interesting and again gets us closer to a real sport. Just think if football teams got the best player based on who was able to login first and click submit. There also has to be a limit on items for the first week. It is not fair for a team that logs in right away to snatch up all the Talons and not leave any for a rookie team that logs in at 12:30 or 1p. I think every week until kickoff you should be able to have another order if you want more but only be able to get one or two of each item per week. I think after kick off having the limit lifted could be OK but who knows maybe the first week after kickoff have a limit as well so that the non-voucher teams can't sweep all the Talons off the shelf.

Lets hope that the next few weeks smooth out for this process I would hate for teams to be at a disadvantage just because a new system was unprepared for FIRST Onslaught. Reminds me of looking for lunacy balls the day after kickoff. Man that sucked.
