FRC Blogged - What Do You Think? The ‘Invite to Decline’ Strategy

[Lil' Lavery]

Even if you accept the notion that the "scorced earth" draft is a negative thing, I feel it's clearly the lesser of two evils. While it certainly happens, it happens only a couple times per season. It's a rare occurance that may be unavoidable in particular situations unless you want teams to jump down their picklist to the first team who will accept them and leave everyone else on the table. It's definitely the better option than allowing declines, in my mind.
