So does the winner of the 469 “Auction” put their teams back into open play to trade for?
No, they’re out of the draft.
Why? Undoubtedly at least a first round pick will be given up to gain 469. Allowing someone to pick up any of the first-round picks for free (well, third round pick) would heavily unbalance the draft, comparable to allowing 469 to be chosen as such. I don’t feel like that’d be fair, so I’m allowing players to (in my opinion) overpay (or simply outbid each other) for 469.
You could do additional auctions for the remaining teams, maybe.
So it is. My b.
Conidered it, but:
- With more than 1 team being bid, we’d have several going at once (confusing) and
- Each auction would be somewhat watered down.
- Also, that’s not very time-sensible, with only a couple days, not everyone is willing to get on to bid for less exemplary teams than 469, several times. Getting one draft-full of people together once is hard as it is.
How about you just add 469 to the person with the lowest OPR and drop that persons 3rd pick for 469. One person already calculated it in this thread.
Nevermind, just looked and ZachO, who is leading the Auction with the highest bid, would also fit the bill that I just said. Let the auction continue lol =]
If enough people sent in lists it’s trivial to rerun the draft and just assume everyone would put 469 #1
Actually Luke is leading it, and he should have the lowest, having gotten random teams. Though the calculated scores were based off an unnamed equation (notably unrelated to OPR) , with data generated from an unofficial source.
However, the point of FF is that everyone thinks they can choose the best teams, using their own method. That suggestion would basically say “Everyone should pick using OPR, because the highest OPR will give the best score,” which just isn’t a good idea. Sure, this is idealistic theory, but I try to stick to the standards.
@Chris Several people didn’t, and a few others submitted half-lists, intending to make the 3rd or even second picks live. Either way, a re draft… Okay, admittedly a pretty good idea but there just isn’t enough time to get everyone together to re-run the draft, especially on a weekday, a couple days out of the competition.

Alright, so I have two rankings sheets for you. The first is merely added-together OPR of the three teams you’ve picked, and the second is the OPR minus the DPR of the three teams. Data grabbed off of the team’s last event thanks to FRC Tracker 2010 for iOS. It’s a great app, I really recommend it.
OPR Only:
- kenavt (11.2)
- dodar (10.8)
- Vikesrock (9.4)
- BaselA (8.6)
- KokoEd (8.5)
- Karibou (8.2)
- Chrisisme (7.8)
8(t). rftgnow (7.1)
8(t). ClintonBolinger (7.1) - ProgramLuke (5.6)
- ZachO (0.9)
OPR-DPR
- Chrisisme (4.3)
- ProgramLuke (4.1)
- kenavt (3.6)
- Vikesrock (3.5)
- dodar (3.3)
6(t). KokoEd (3.2)
6(t). Karibou (3.2) - BaselA (0.1)
- ClintonBolinger (0.0)
- rftgnow (-2.5)
- ZachO (-7.6)
is DPR = Defensive Power Rating? and if so, whats the point of doing OPR-DPR?
I was asleep when it passed but rosters are now frozen. Good luck!
Yes. The point is that in elims, you’d rather have a 6-1 guy than an 8-6 guy (OPR, DPR). They’re just more likely to win.
