I’d say let’s at least go ahead with WPI and Pittsburgh, then see where we’re at afterwards. I’ll see what lists I have in my inbox for WPI and make sure you get them.

My two cents on the redrafts.
It is not uncommon for teams to add an event or move events. Previously these teams went to whoever called dibs first. With the waiver list we are trying to make it fairer. A side effect of this is someone has to go through all the requests and assign teams to people.
To minimize the amount of extra effort, it makes sense to me that we should push 2 events a night earlier in drafting and have nights later that only have one event so as to allow room for redraft. Although this means there will be a better chance of more redrafts, it will probably eliminate any chance of a three draft night. This will also make us more receptive to the idea of redrafts.
My personal feelings on redrafts is that they are unnecessary work.
We’ll do it this time, but next year, I vote to nix them.
Waivers don’t really work if you want omre than one team is the problem.
Say I have A, B, and C
and D, E, and F are all better than C
I can’t submit a request for D, if not D then E, and if not E than F for C. I have to give up A and B to put a claim in.
The entire point of the draft system is that we are picking teams one after another. When the bulk of an event’s good teams come in after it, it makes the draft completely pointless.
I don’t see why not. Fantasy sports leagues typically allow this and I did it for an event or two last week.
I do it like this: D (#x) or E (#x+1) or F (#x+2) for C. Substitute your own priorities in there. See, 3 claimed for 1, and if I get D, then E and F go to whoever else wants them.
Sorry, my Internet connection died about a half hour before the draft. I’ll pick up the pieces right now.
I’m going to be visiting family Sunday-Wednesday with no internet access. I just sent my lists for those days to Ed, Eric, Alex, Kevin, and Chris. If anyone else will be running a draft, you will need to get my list from one of them (if there are any redrafts other than Pittsburgh, which I re-did the list for, use the original list if possible).

Sent a PM to anyone that didn’t know about last night’s drafts since it was confusing / poorly communicated.
I’m making a final decision as the commissioner of the leagues.
No more redrafts after this, Chris.
It’s not fair to people who already picked beforehand and now have to pick all over again.
Fair enough.
I’m seconding this, on multiple reasons:
-
I have been without internet for 4 days, but sent my pick lists in advance for the days I was missing. if there was a redraft that occured in this time I would have been unaware of it, and not able to send in a list.
-
I barely have time for this league as is. Doing redrafts comes back to the “I must check FF every evening if I want to be competitive” mentality.
-
When we redraft, we do it in a new random order. This will be the second time this policy bites me.
-
This is what the waivers was for. just because 4 new teams become added, I don’t see it calling for a redraft. Put in for a waiver.
Ya, we have to redraft Pittsburg and i just won 1114 from waiver. Now I am not gonna get them.
Would you guys just prefer we skip the Pittsburgh redraft too? I didn’t realize this would be a big deal.
So are we skipping the Pitt Redraft?
Nah, I’ll finish this one, I have lists from nearly everyone I think…
Well then do I get to keep my waiver pickup from the original draft?
