Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Generally speaking, districts have been dominated by fewer teams during their first one or two years, as the benefits gained by having a district system have yet to be fruitful for the majority of teams. Ya can't benefit from districts til you go through at least a year of em. There are exceptions of course, but they are far and in between. Anyways, it's probably a discussion for a different place

Okay. Cool? They have four regionals per year. With 60+ teams at each. I suspect that when they expand to the 11+ district events they'll have to have, there will be a little more diversity in the success of teams.

As Joseph pointed out, it might take a year or two to get much beyond that. Chesapeake is barely at that point; MAR has been there for a few years.

Obviously I'll be taking at least some of that into consideration for next year's drafting schedule (as well as TX going district--that one's a known factor!).

Yes, there will be more success if diversity. More events = more points to be earned. However that does not mean that the actual quality of those teams will instantly increase due to the adaptation of the district system, it should take minimum a year until you see an increase in team performance due to the district, anything else outside of extreme outliers is due to other factors.

Personally, I think the only district that warrants a double draft is FIM with its 400+ teams, but thats just me.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

So, to confirm, we will not be held to the times on the NE draft tomorrow, correct?

Correct. They'll be for Thursday instead. However, I would encourage anybody looking at NE to go ahead if they are the next pick--I'll update whenever I can.

FiM isn't drafting today. It starts 1/4.

No comment on PNW.

Re: [FF]: 2017 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Due to Comcast once again being unreliable as all hell and having "technical downtime in my area" with no prior warning, PNW will be suspended a day. PNW #1 - 1/3 7pm, PNW #2 - 1/4 7pm.

That, or we can magically finish PNW #1 up before 7pm tomorrow, but I have no problem running PNW #2 and FIM #1 at the same time.

1/3 - PNW #1
1/4 - MAR #1, FIM #1, PNW #2
1/5 - MAR #2, FIM #2, NE #1
1/6 - NE #2, CHS

Pretty sure that's right.

And now it's:
1/5: MAR #2 (up now--Untitled's pick, Round 1), FIM #2, NE #1 (up now--Untitled's pick, Round 2)
1/6: NE #2, CHS (up now--Untitled's pick, Round 1)

I don't have many lists for MAR, NE, and CHS (Chesapeake), so picks are appreciated.
