Hey Koko,
Usually I am online later at night and I check CD for new FF threads. Whenever I see a new schedule for a regional, I send you and Eric my pick list. It would be great if schedule for the next day picks can be provided the night before (for example, suppose FLR picks were tomorrow and you would post the schedule tonight). I apologize for the inconvenience.

I believe that this schedule is still in use.
You are correct. San Diego and Kettering are still tomorrow night. We’ll try to get any changes out as soon as we know about them.
BTW, please, please, please send your lists to both Ed and myself! Arefin shouldn’t be about to be booted; he sent a list in for Sunday’s draft (and I’ve reminded Ed of that). Though there might be one or two others who I think are on the verge because I don’t have anything for them, but Ed has something. Save yourself a PM and send lists to both of us.
I’m in concurrence with Ed on the 2 5-misses-in-a-row-and-out rule. I’m sorry, folks, but if you say “I’m here” but then don’t show up, you AREN’T here.
Dolan has withdrawn. His teams are now up for grabs. First come. First served.
1504 appears to be missing from the available teams pool in the Kettering drafts

How are the picking positions determined? Just wondering because I have picked last 3 times and never first. I also have an average pick position of 7.6 out of 13.3 (yes I was bored today in class.)
Randomly. I randomize everyone, then split them into tiers; I could also split everyone into tiers, then randomize just as easily. I’m not quite sure how Ed does it.
id perfer the split then randomize… there is a lesser chance of innconsistancies that way
There were complaints last year/earlier this year that everyone played against the same people every time. By randomizing and then splitting, you reduce that factor.
You do realize that if every draft was done that way, your (Nawaid’s) chances of drawing Barry in your tier go through the roof, right? Especially since because to have 4 tiers (the only way to not have you in the same tier), the regional can’t have more than 29 teams. Not many have that few!
Nice try, Ed. You used my Boston scramble-split list for FLR and Oregon. (Then again, that was me scrambling the tiers for you… OK, you don’t do it yourself, but your minions do.)
Can we get this thead stickied, & the 2008 one unstickied when you get a chance? I couldn’t find this thread at all a few minutes ago.
And we have JUST nyc tonight right?
Correct. You’ll have to get a mod on the other one, though.
I am finding the humor in being the standard when I am not noticing my picks being significantly better than anyone else that is actively participating. It really looks like every one has done their homework this year!
(not deans homework, scouting of course)
Uh, you’re just the winner of last year’s Elgin Clock award by a mere 2-300 points (aka 2-3 regionals). So of course you get picked on as a standard.
You’re not the only reason, though… the last 10 or so to sign up and stay in are pretty good at sending good lists in.
Consider it stuck. (and unstuck)
I SHOULD be back to drafting tomorrow. Boo sick and finals and working 2 jobs…
I don’t feel that the picklists are hard, no one should have trouble sending in their lists, you don’t have to send them all at once, I only send in the ones relevent to the day that i am sending in.
