Entry draft for season 2

As I stated in the other thread I am intending to begin the draft next Monday (22nd). I would like to do a live draft if possible to get it going as quick as possible. Would that be good for everyone? I would like to begin it about 8pm and do at least 2-3 rounds. Obviously anyone without a pick need not apply

1st Round:
1 Vancouver Schmucks (Watford Capitals)
2 Bearded Badgers (Slip End Bumnotes)
3 Broadway Blueshirts
4 Vancouver Schmucks (Espoo Gooch)
5 Vancouver Schmucks
6 Moose Jaw Giraffes (Chatham Victory)
7 Moose Jaw Giraffes
8 Leicester Devils
9 Canterbury Crusaders (Duck a l'orange)
10 McBuck Cherrypickers
11 Canterbury Crusaders
12 Slip End Bumnotes (Nottingham Penguins)
13 Fairytale Buttercups
14 Forerunners
15 Fumblesaurus Rex
16 Bearded Badgers
17 Swansea Sharks
18 Boston Shamrock's
19 Knights of Columbus
20 Stevenage Beefs

I'd be happy, but I need my trades either accepted or vetoed as I have picks involved in both of them. But Monday is good for me either way

I will get those looked at either today or tomorrow Mr Leafy

same as leafy- not sure if i need to turn up yet

Not that I have a first round pick but it sounds good

Monday? 8PM?! When Uni challenge is on?!?

What are you, Mad?

I'm not picking in the first half, so should be perfect.

Sounds ok for me, mate.

i'm not around on the monday, but i can leave instructions as it were for my pick, my preferable choices etc if thats ok?

Yeah that's fine by me Mike. You about on msn this evening? Would like to talk to you about a couple of bits on here.

yeah i should be on for a good while

That works well for me homer.

Monday is good for me!

Draft order will be confirmed tomorrow night but I have figured out how the sim creates it now and it decides as follows.

Picks 1-12 are the non playoff teams in reverse order of standings.

Picks 13-16 are the teams eliminated in round 1 in reverse order of their regular season standing.

Picks 17-18 are the teams eliminated in round 2 in reverse order of their regular season standing.

Pick 19 is for the playoff runner up.

Pick 20 is for the playoff winner.

There is also a draft lottery which is decided by the sim itself. This involves the bottom 5 teams with one team being selected to move up 5 spaces, the rest will remain as normal and this only affects the selection in round one.

The draft order remains the same each round so it is not a snaking draft ie the playoff winner will pick last in every round.

Also the players will appear under your team as 'prospects' and you won't be able to use them right away.

Once the draft is completed let me know which players you wish to use and I will add them to the sim properly. Until you decide to use them they will not take up a roster spot so it is up to you how you use your picks. You can either create them all and use them to restock your farm or you can have them for depth further down the line.

8pm Monday is 7am Tuesday my time which might make my involvement a bit questionable - I could do an hour at the very most, if at all, so I'm happy to submit a list for the whole lot and just see how things go (if you're sending an output folder in excel I'll rejig that and mail it to you if that's ok).

Did you get the player list already Joga? I emailed them out before. Those are the guys we are using. If not I can always re-send. Feel free to send me your preferences and I will draft from that.

When will we get the draft rankings?

I sent these out a while back. Do you want me to re-send it?

yeh I can't find it in my email or dropbox so if you could send it again that would be great. cheers

I have added it to dropbox so you should be able to pick it up now.

Draft order is in dropbox now. Watford Capitals won the lottery so move up to 1st pick (owned by Azzy).
