Hometown Theme League - Full

[the splinter]

since we have vast array of Strat generals here...I need an answer,

It was posted on the boards recently that when there are 2 outs all baserunners running rating increases by +2 based on the premise that they are running with the pitch.

I know I used this feature on certain versions of the board game back in the day but I don't know if it is applied here in the on-line version.

Can I get a confirmation?

[LANCEBOUSLEY]

well it looks like either way, those of us with crappy teams are screwed. unless we are lucky in waivers or fast in the frenzy.

so i don't care either way.......

got a better with the hill deal and picking up lee but my pitching still is not so fresh.

[ROBERTMAVIN]

actually the order the waivers will likely be in will be West Division first..
as it is usually a last in / reverse in order of entering the league appraoch .. best of my recollection anyway..
fairest of course is continuing to draft for x number of rounds on the board in a surpentine order.. least fair is the frenzy given computer/ internet connection speed, those who get on first benefit the most.. those who have life get in their way , well.. frenzy just does not consider those people..

[FRANKMANSUETO]

Only way this works frenzy wise is by just choosing a time that suits everyone. Say 9PM on a Thursday/Friday night. This gives the West Coast guys an opportunity to be involved. This is just my 2 cents and that goes for Splinters 2 cent brain. :shock: :lol:

Considering bobm1007's comments on extending the current draft by x rounds, if we make that a serpentine order, the guys with the worst records don't benefit much, as the serpentine selection evens things out.

Another suggestion, as I try to consider this while (supposedly) working-

What if each player can include up to 4 players (or 5) from the non-used teams (except those taken in this one round draft) on their draft card. Then waivers would work like they are designed to, rewarding those who miss on their picks. I think this is what we did when I played in this format last season.

Now that's a good idea!

Well I'm out playing some basketball for a couple of hours.

another way i've seen this done is to draft up to x rounds resetting the order by total salary available each time.

I agree with akindian that after the first round we should reset the draft based on salary.
