If we have the first and last picks, which are the strongest positions to draft from (At least, for deeper events) declare and approve COI, what rotation do we choose? Say, for two teams that declare COI, they're at positions 1 and 6 in that draft. If we choose the rotation that moves 1 to the 5th draft spot, then the 6th place w/ an approved COI would be in the 1st position for the draft, leaving us with the same conundrum.


Instead, I propose this as a solution:



While this does undermine our goal of rotating everyone through 1st pick, it's just one draft very infrequently and doesn't mean much in the full scale of SLFF. With as many drafts as we run, it won't cause us to deviate significantly from this intention.

This solution could prevent someone from achieving a first pick in that round which would be a big impact potentially, although i see your point with 2 teams potentially needing COI in which case i feel we combine our two ideas so:

If one team needs a COI we make the draft in which the COI is needed to be the draft that they are in the median pick position, rounded down

If >1 teams need it for a particular draft the draft is rescheduled to be the first in the rotation, the runner for that position randomizes all teams except those in need of COI. After randomizing those teams are put in median position rounded down (With 9 of us that means 5 and 6 with 8 it means 4 and 5) If three or more need it it still proceeds the same (9 people it is 4 5 and 6 with 8 it is also 4 5 and 6)

Technical Difficulties are preventing me from posting tonights draft, more specifically, I can't get the teams list for CVR. https://puu.sh/sCekO/d2be13dfe9.png

(If someone could post it within the next 5 minutes thatd be great)

Short note: Anybody thinking the CD clock is still late, it's now caught up to the rest of the world.

I highly doubt that there will be two COI requests in the same draft. That being said, I have no problems at all with putting COI drafts in the middle (slots 4, 5, or 6) by swapping with another draft. Note that this means that COI requests will need to be in early, so that they can be announced.


Modified proposal: Standard COI procedure is to use the next draft order that places the requester(s) in the middle of the order, and replace that draft with the COI draft's normal order. (If a COI is known in advance, and a previous draft order works better, that may also be used if that draft has not run yet.) Should that not be possible due to multiple requests, a special draft will be added into the normal rotation as follows: Randomize all non-COI players, then insert all COI players into the middle slots in random order. Rotation resumes after said draft.

Middle of the draft order is determined by number of players in the league.




Speaking of which: Falcon is requesting a COI in Orange County. I sent the reason to Joseph and James last week. (Just our luck, it's a randomization draft.)

BTW: Random draft order for Greater Kansas City is:

Questionable Decisionmakers
Untitled Team
F3
The Breakfast Company
FIRST Pick
NE Way You Want It
Swamp Life
Falcon
The Regal Falcons

I got it covered up in a sec

The yung power outage strikes again, I swear it happens to me atleast 1 draft a year. (My phone wasn't charged when I woke up, so I had no way to contact anyone until it conveniently came up 20m late -.-)

Brennan has all the lists for UT.

Untitled Team and The Breakfast Company have agreed to a trade involving the Greater Kansas City and Central Illinois Regionals.



The trade agreement is:

#4 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional
#15 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional

The Breakfast Company receives:
#16 overall at the Central Illinois Regional

#17 overall at the Greater Kansas City Regional


I tried to enter this into the pending trades sheet, but may not have done so correctly.

The entry was correct. However, it does help to look at the approved trades sheet. Untitled's #16 was already traded to TBC for the #11. Can't trade the same pick twice.

That shouldn't have gone through since Untitled double booked us and instead the deal went to QD
