As we all know, the scores in the earlier regionals are much lower normally so if a team competes in the last 2 weeks it will probably have a better average score than one that competes in the first 2 weeks even if the second team placed better.

The whole reason the drafting will happen before Kickoff came from a thread a while back about teams and their reputations. Right now, after hearing some good reasons for it, it appears that the drafting will be for a team for the whole season, with their scores averaged. (The drafting four and dropping one thing may or may not happen--I'd like more feedback on that first.)

And by scores, I mean their FF score, similar to how Palmetto (and probably a lot of the other leagues) was run this year, where awards and seedings score the points.

I don't think dropping the 4th is a good idea. If you have 4 well rounded picks, then dropping one is not advantageous. But if you have 2 awesome, and 2 weak, you have an advantage on the person with 4 well rounded teams.

Draft X number keep X number.
