Now that we've cleared a few things up that affected the rules...

I just put up the updated rules, including today's updates. (I did try to stay pretty close to the wording used in my earlier post, but going a little more general.) https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2574

Speaking of the rules, I was under the impression that we would use district seeding points for seeds, instead of the 20-12-12-6-6-6-6-6[...] system that was in the old document. (see Section 7.4.1 of the Admin manual here for the equation).

Which will we be using for FF scoring?

...

I'll have to look that up after the drafts tonight. I want to say we discussed that in the "stuff to change" thread.

Thank you! I'd be interested in playing next year. Is there any chance of a stand-alone FF league just for Champs? I'd be interested in doing that this year.

I know there's one for IRI, and there's a standalone FIM draft this year(the rules are a little different for both), but I don't know of anyone doing a standalone Worlds draft, atleast not through this forum.

If someone steps up, there can be. I know in the past some folks have done a free-for-all draft (pick any 3 teams as long as someone else doesn't have the same 3); there's nothing saying that there can only be one FF league/draft.

I have no plans to run a stand-alone Champs league, however. (It's going to be fun enough getting 6 divisions at each 1/2Champs drafted.)

Erci uses the term "fun" very loosely here

Ok, thanks! If someone else sees this and becomes consumed with the idea of creating a stand-alone Champs league, I'll probably try and participate. But I'd say it's a bad idea to try and start a league myself without ever having played. Maybe next year.

Can someone explain to me why we use CD time? Everyone seems to get confused/not care about it, and, from my perspective, it's just easier to check that little box in the corner than remember that CD time is behind actual time.

Because sometimes people computers are not perfectly synced. The only option would be to go by the draft runners time, which may/may not be synced properly either.

Why couldn't everyone just check that with this then?

TRF would be in support of this.

It's the time that gets posted above posts, it keeps things consistent instead of people arguing about timing. You can't really argue with the time above posts. I also see no reason to have to have another tab open as a draft runner that i have to constantly check when i already have multiple tabs open dedicated to the draft that I need to check. It's really not that hard to scroll down to the bottom of the page guys.

Time is good. TimeSTAMP is what gets the post.

As I said, I've sent Brandon a PM to reset the CD clock--it obviously needs it for time-dependent items.


I would also note that when lists are sent in, they are considered effective whenever the slot opens--which would be when they're the next pick up (or the time turns to that slot, if someone isn't showing up).

Standard time reference.

Actually I just sent Brandon a PM to see if that could be fixed. I consider 5 minutes slow to be unacceptable with the clocks at home...
