FAST SIX VIII Chat

I agree about the radical change, but I just threw it out there to see what everyone might think. It would solve the problem. Something different, nothing ventured, nothing gained type idea. :) :lol: Me I'm good with whatever is decided. 8)

I really don't care which way we go. I never worry about stadiums. I just build my teams to suit my stadium and go from there. I can usually tell what type of stadium a division mate is going to use anyway just by their draft picks.

I liek all the ideas and especially Joe's for its freshness. I don't think anyone is going to drop out of the upcoming season regardless of the rules under which it is played. However, it would be good to just to go ahead and have a final decision made so we can prepare to play ball on Friday.

I agree and therefore.....I'll use tomorrow nights pick 3 lotto to determine an order to draft unique stadiums. I'm going to use the same states everyone picked for the original draft. Once that is established, we can START PICKING OUR STADIUMS ANYTIME BEFORE THE DRAFT ON FRIDAY!!
That way everyone knows who has what stadium in advance. I don't have as much experience with unique stadium leagues so I'm a little in the dark here. We can always change it in future leagues. I'll keep the random entry rule in place so everyone can just enter their team once it's ready. Again, the only stipulation is you do NOT pull your team out once entered into the league. Thanks fellas!

You may want to consider fast-sixing times two, like twelve or fourteen rounds. It certainly goes quick enough and if anyone else is aware of how well last Friday night's frenzy went off (well past normal start time) I sure wouldn't have a problem. There's no point in this if you get 6 picks and don't get to the frenzy until after everyone else is done because TSN has another meltdown. My .02.

This had been suggested before and voted down as the majority of the managers preferred to have a little deeper frenzy pool to draw from.
I kinda heard about last Friday night with the frenzy delay, I really hope we don't have that problem this Friday! :roll:

I have to say that I don't like the idea of picking stadiums before the draft. I never know what stadium I'm going to use in a live draft until I see what players I end up with.

That problem can be solved with drafting stadiums in Round Seven making the League Name Fast Six plus One. :lol: :lol: I'm with you on that, in this draft your "Dream Team" can be crushed in a hurry so picking a stadium last would be a little better :P We finish fast enough with the six picks to add stadium round, plus there would be no more live picks made, only frenzy picks. So any stadium knowledge wouldn't help because you won't know who's in your division. :twisted: :lol:

I'm with Tim and Joe on this one. I frequently change after three or four picks.

Sorry guys. Just got home from our playoff game not long ago. After reading an email with Joe's suggestion about adding a round seven for stadium picks...I lke it. I think it's much easier for a manager to design a team around his 6 first picks. I have not yet looked at the lotto numbers so I don't feel I'm biased in changing the rule to add a seventh pick for stadium choices. If that even matters. Lets go with that.

[b:f9b4977a82]WE ARE NOT DRAFTING STADIUMS IN ADVANCE OF THE DRAFT!!
WE WILL ADD A SEVENTH ROUND IN OUR DRAFT FOR STADIUMS!!
LOTTO NUMBERS WILL STILL BE USED TO DETERMINE WHO DRAFTS STADIUMS FIRST TO LAST![/b:f9b4977a82]

I gotta go to bed. If somebody can update the lotto list for stadiums, that would be a big help! Thanks! :D
