This is the final selections...do they need any glaring alteration? or are they fair?


Draft Order and selections. Once the order has been determined for the first round you have the choice of drafting a pill or a player...if you select a pill simply cut and paste it next to your name...if you are selecting player...just write player and when we begin the draft the first person with player drafts first and the first player who picked a poison will pick last and so on. Once we get lottery results we will put team and manager names in order and you may choose at that time.

Poison Pill #19 should read "Boggs would have to be 1B" shouldn't it?

[Sykes25]

Gotta agree with WC here. You need to pick your poison before picking players.

I concur. :mrgreen:

[UGLYJERRY]

So we are taking tonights results, and starting the draft tomorrow morning. How are we picking divisions ? Are we just doing 1 pick a day or are we going to use Penn's site and run the draft from there.

Guys...you are not picking a player...just your order in the player draft.
for example we will be numbered from tonights pick3 lotteries. the highest number has first choice...they can take a pill or 1st position in the player draft. They won't take the actual player until they have selected the poison pill.

manager1 selects a pill...they are placed as #12 in the player draft rounds
manager2 selects to be #1 in the player round and goes to number 12 in pill round
manager 3 takes #2 in player round...they are 11 in pill selection
manager 4 takes a pill and goes to 11 in player rounds

and so on...don't take a player...just your draft spot for each round...remember it is not a serpentine draft....you will not have picks 12 and 13 if you select last...that is not enough of a deterrent for getting first pill. If you draft 1st in the draft you will also draft 13th and 25th and so on...if you draft 12th...you will take 24th and 36th etc......

Everybody got it? We can't do 2 different lotteries because someone could get 1st pill and first pick...not fair. Sorry I didn't explain it better earlier.

Ice :D
