[FF]: Season Long Format Change Discussion

[bam-bam]

So, I'm going to bring this thread back for a bit. Small ideas, but hopefully something that could improve the community a bit.

Could it be possible that we could do drafts within Google Docs? This can allow for some banter between the members of the of the FF teams, perhaps giving a better sense of community here. On top of that, it eliminates a lot of the problems on Chief Delphi for the last rounds, where there are minute updates. After each draft, the drafts can be listed in the Chief Delphi thread. I can come up with a small template in Google Docs, and keep all drafts in one location as necessary. Is it possible that we could implement this into the league-wide FF drafts for next season (MAR, FiM, etc.)?

In addition, I really like the idea of keeping the scored drafts in Google Docs. Granted, the current format is not really in the best shape right now, but that's no big deal as we had to rush the formatting a bit. I can take the summer to figure out something, and see if the scorers could just enter awards and record of each team. I can also come up with a live ranking list like something similar to Brennan's to prepare for the next season.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough to actually be able to pull data out from the Blue Alliance online for records and whatnot, so the scorers will still have to search each team and put down the record for the event. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would greatly be appreciated.

If anything for the future, as it seems like we have the general format of the FF set in stone, something to improve the waiver system would be... well... awesome. It's a massive headache, especially when a team drops like earlier in the season. There may be something that could be done in Excel, but this seems like a HUGE task for me to do, anyway.
