Re: [FF]: 2010 Seaso Long Fantasy FIRST

And for those that don't know quite how this works:

For each event (40+ events), you choose 3 teams. Drafts will be occurring at least once per day through December--we're trying to avoid Kickoff. Serpentine draft order (1-x, x-1, 1-x), usually starting at 7:00 EST. Drafts will be broken into groups (tiers) as needed to get everyone 3 teams; exact manner of breaking is up to whoever's running the draft. Points accumulate throughout the season.

What happens if you can't make a draft? No problem, just get a list of teams in that you'll want (and make sure that all the draft runners get a copy! You never know who is going to run a given draft.) We'll take care of getting you those teams, if they are available. If you don't have a list, you get random teams, so be warned. We'll take multiple lists at a time, too.

Trading teams is allowed. Grabbing a team from the available list is as simple as saying publicly that you want X instead of Y. Trades between players do need both players to say the trade is acceptable. No trades between tiers, please.

Scoring, for those that don't know:

20....1st seed
12....2nd and 3rd seed
6......4th through 8th
3......9th through 12th
2......12th through 16th

4......Quarter finalists
10.....Semifinalists
20.....Finalists
30.....Winners

42.....Chairmans
36.....Engineering Inspiration Award

15.....robot based award
20.....Rookie All-Star
10.....Rooke Inspiration
8......Woodie Flowers
5.....Regional Highest score
5.......Highest score / Highest Rookie Seed

2......Win(s)
-2.....Loss(es)
1......Tie(s)

5....... Judges Award
2.......for every non-placement award, except previously mentioned

Re: [FF]: 2010 Seaso Long Fantasy FIRST

Ed, can we have a new rule added that if someone is booted and you want to vulturize their teams, that you have to recreate the graph with that person removed along with the switch?

And don't forget to put the teams into the pool again...

While I don't think we need a rule on this, good practice indicates that you should, on someone getting the boot, remove them immediately from that tier. Standard practice last season was to leave their slot blank for the first vulturization or two, then remove it entirely.

Re: [FF]: 2010 Seaso Long Fantasy FIRST

When do we have until to decide if we want to join? I love the game, but time will be oh so precious this year and I would like to get a feel for my school work before I commit to anything.

There will be a notice before the draft closes. I would say that it'll be the day before we start drafting, which is usually around December 1.

Re: [FF]: 2010 Seaso Long Fantasy FIRST

How long will it take to get this thread stickied, last time it took us 142 days, can we beat it this year?

Alex, if you have a lot of school work but want to play, my suggestion is to create your pick lists over Thanksgiving break and send them to the people running the drafts (mainly Ed and Eric).

Actually, I've got some work for some mods: How about changing the sticky to this thread and locking all the 2008 and 2009 drafting threads so we know we've got the right one when it's trading time?

Definitely second the recommendation to do your lists when you don't have schoolwork/have some time off. If needed, I can send lists to anyone else running a draft.

Also, as a heads-up: I'm going to be trying something new behind-the-scenes. I have a hunch that it's going to really cut back on double picks. However, it works best if there are lots of lists. If it works, I'll make it public/open source, so someone with more knowledge than me can make it even better.

I brought it up to Brandon at IRI.
