I vote, by reputation points.

I think a semi-randomized ordering processes with a "seed" of reputation points would be more interesting then just completely random.

I envision it like the order selection of the NBA draft. The team with the worst record doesn't automatically get the #1 draft position, rather they get the best chance of being the #1 draft position. You can see the odds for last year here: http://nbadraft.net/2003lottery.htm

What I would suggest is that you get 1 entry for each reputation dot that you have. Thus, Ed would get 6 entries, JVN would get 11, and Jones 571 would get 1. However, any one of them could still get the #1 draft position, just John would have the best chance, and Jones would have the worst chance.

Any thoughts?

Also, any possibilty of having points for other awards, specifically chairman's?

we should do the draft order like they do on Yahoo fantasy baseball. people are chosen randomly for the spots so everyone has the same chance as everyone else at having the first pick.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Obviously, people like me(with low rep points) are against that.
I say random.

You can make trades but not unbalanced ones. I want to fill this league to the limit and there may be no other robots to choose from. It's either straight up one for one, two for two or the whole alliance for another. All trades have to go through me for approval and no trading after April 14th (on account of I'm going to be on a plane for Atlanta the next day and I have to go straight from work to the airport to catch my flight)

Here is a sample of how the game would be played using data from the Buckeye Regional (yeah, I pick Rochester teams to use for the data, mostly. So shoot me. ). Any of you guys have any suggestion on how to improve the game feel free to give them.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

You had to make JVN #1 in the sample didn't you?

It's rigged, HE's paying you under the table!

[Joel J]

[Jones571]

[Levin571]

I also want to join the league!

[David Hoff]

I might as well give it a go
