I think it'd probably be best to swap it with Lenape; I'm sure Clifton will fill up as it'll probably end up be a 3rd district for some teams.

I predict a few more teams will sign up as the season goes on.

[Jay O'Donnell]

So is today going to be Clifton or Lenape? All of this schedule changing is starting to get confusing.

[bam-bam]

Can we just do a complete schedule change at this point? Shove all of the events that are not full down and bring up the ones that are full instead. It'll make it easier than all of this last-second changes.

Switch out for Bridgewater-Raritan.

Drafts affected are:

Springside 1

Springside 2

Hub City 1

Hub City 2

Northern Lights 1

Northern Lights 2

North Carolina 1

North Carolina 2

How shall we fix this? Just use the old way of randomising for now... but it doesn't seem particularly fair that we (Breakfast Company) are continually getting first picks like that, while RUSH always gets last picks :/ Though it's good that this was caught early.

Don't worry about it.
It's not that many drafts and there's nothing we can do about it now.

I'll second what Koko Ed said about the drafts being messed up. It happens, and I can't speak for others, but no one on our team blames you for it.

Besides, we like our teams we picked from our position (despite being 7th). We honestly would not prefer doing a redraft....

We don't really have the time.

Edit: Alright it is 3:55 and I just checked every doc that has been emailed to me and almost none of them were filled out (obviously) but I am going to make this clear I WILL NOT BE CHECKING THEM AGAIN if you put a list there and do not send me a fresh link to it I WILL NOT be checking on my own free time so I NEED Lists from 7/20 Teams:

Sour Patch Nerds
Prestige Tacos
Deus X
Awesome Blossom
RUSH27
Fighting Calculators
LTownThrowdown

[EricH]

Falcon will send a list via PM as soon as one is made.

[BrennanB]

We will just run live for Bridgewater

I'll announce when it's fixed and published. I'll probably do a little bit of development--I found something by accident that could make my life MUCH simpler, and should be a quick add (famous last words, right, programmers? ) before the release, maybe make life a little easier.

Yep, famous last words. The code's in there, but currently non-functional for some reason.

So, here's the situation. The paper has been uploaded as Version 1.2, with the random list issue fixed. (I haven't removed the previous version (1.1) yet, BTW.)

I tried to get an off-the-help-site check against double values in a range working--it isn't, but the code is in the tier tabs if anybody wants to help troubleshoot. I'd also like to get a format change from time to general going under the same trigger conditions, but that may have to wait. If that were working, I think double picks would be eliminated whenever someone ran drafts from this program. Problem is, it isn't working.

There are also some picking functions buried in the main macro code module that I haven't gotten working yet. Eventually, they'll move to the tier tabs (or each tier tab will get a reference), but for now they're out in the main area. Again, if folks want to try to get those working, I'd appreciate the help.

This would be really nice...

Also thanks for getting that new version out so quick, I really like how easy it was.

[Koko Ed]

TeamRush27 and Dues X have failed to show up for the draft tonight and thus are booted out of the league.
Also Prestige Taco and Sour Patch Nerds have missed four drafts in a row and are quickly going to find themselves in the same boat as TeamRush27 and Dues X if they are not careful.
