Brown Trout Fantasy Football League Draft

From the other thread:

[ QUOTE ]
I used randomizer.org to generate 16 numbers, 1-50. Applied them to the list made as people joined.

Despite having 15 man rosters, we will be drafting 14 rounds. The rationale will be explained later in the post.

Here's your draft order. [number drawn] just means what number you drew from the RNG.

DRAFT ORDER (Team - Owner [number drawn]
1. The Hitmen - Mike Gallo [47]
2. Lets Go Buffalo - Davey [44]
3. Brent Musburger - UncleRemus [43]
4. Enrique Bouncers - 2+2 wannabe [33]
5. dharma bums - pryor15 [31]
6. Poop Soup - TxSteve [30]
7. handsome - handsome [29]
8. Toi Cooks - Jack of Arcades [25]
9. Gunner Stahl - mmbt0ne [24]
10. Infinite Drew Downs - anacardo [16]
11. Fred Taylor's Groin - morello [15]
12. Montgomery Biscuits - jstnrgrs [10]
13. Bumble Deez - oneeye13 [7]
14. Evil Monkeys - kasey2004 [6]
15. Luckboxes 'R Us - Commissioner uw_madtown [3]
16. BostonZak - BostonZak [1]

On even rounds, the order is reversed. This is pretty standard in FF, and is there to prevent early pickers from having a huge advantage over those later. So, for example, after BostonZak makes the final pick of the first round, he will then make the first pick of the second round, then I'll pick, then kasey2004, and so on back up the order.

Draft picks can be traded. For example, say I REALLY want the #1 pick in the first round. I could offer Gallo my first round and my third round for it. Similarly, after a pick has been made, you can negotiate. Say someone picks Terrell Owens two picks ahead of me, and I REALLY wanted him but thought he'd slip to me. Go ahead and offer up a trade -- maybe there's still someone they want two spots later and they'd be willing to give you TO and slide down 2 spots if they're going to get a late round pick.

The reason we're only drafting 14 rounds when we have 15 man rosters is so trading makes sense. If we were drafting 15 rounds, there is zero incentive to make a trade where you drop to a lower spot in exchange for an extra pick -- it just means you're going to be cutting your 16th pick anyway. But if you'll be able to keep that extra guy, it makes you a little more likely to make that trade.

What this means is that if you pick all 14 rounds and don't trade any picks or players, you'll have to pick up one guy off the waiver to fill out that last bench spot.

So... this draft can get going!

Please report all picks in this thread, and then report them using the site set up by mmbt0ne. Please don't pick out of turn on that site. Please don't forget to report to that site. This thread is the ultimate final word, the site is just to make it easier to search through past picks. If there's a discrepancy somewhere along the line, the picks reported in thread will "overrule" the site. But I'll be keeping a close eye anyway; this shouldn't be a problem.

Other notes...

TRADES - both players much confirm the trade in the thread or via PM to me. In thread is preferred.

TRADE COLLUSION - if I see any trades (both draft and regular season) that are of questionable fairness, as commissioner I will hold that trade from going through. It will then be put to a vote from all non-involved owners. A bit of reassurance -- I really want to encourage trading. Only trades that seem to be obvious instances of collusion with be tagged. I don't expect it to happen.

TIME LIMIT -- In the first three rounds, owners will get 24 hours to post a pick. Please don't take the full amount of time, that's just in case someone doesn't check back or something accidentally. After the first 3 rounds, the time drops to 12 hours. If someone fails to get their pick in within their 24/12 hour timeframe, they will recieve the top available player according to The Sportingnews Top 200 on their site. In the last couple rounds, if this is an issue and all top 200 have been picked, the owner's pick will be pushed to the end of the current round.

PMing PICKS -- since mmbt0ne set up our draft site, I asked him if he'd mind being Assistant Commish. Which means he'll help me with the following task. If you need to take off for a few hours, but you think your pick might come around while you're gone, you have the option of sending a short list of picks to myself and mmb, and we can post for you to keep things moving. That way we don't have to wait for people at work, or out for the night, etc. Just make sure to send it to both of us, and make sure to send enough picks to cover the span (if there are two people yet to pick before your turn, send 3 numbered picks).

Rock on. Ask questions if you'd like, otherwise... The Hitmen are on the clock!
