King of the ERA's, ERA #1 ('03-'36) Draft Thread

[modmark46]

Thanks, Steve, for putting my proxies in. Well, either Bobby or 13baseballs will have to re-do the Dimaggio pick. Bobby offered 13b. his place back, after 13 posted over in the ATG thread. Did not see a reply from 13b.

[modmark46]

Bobby, unless you heard from 13baseballs, I think you should assume the team is still yours. In order to not hold this up any longer, I think you should re-do your Dimaggio pick, and then make your next pick, ASAP. If 13baseballs should take you up on your offer later today/this evening, you two can still make a painless swap, IMO. :)

In case we get moving again, I am leaving enough proxies to cover my Rd 4 & 5 picks, should it get that far.
1. M. Brown
2. Cochrane
3. Meusel
4. J. Jackson
5. Ott
6. Foxx
7. Pfiester
8. Steinfeldt
Also, as an extra safeguard, I am posting my [color=red:9532a6a7b7][b:9532a6a7b7]Cell phone #: 603/721-1871. [/b:9532a6a7b7][/color:9532a6a7b7] The forecast for today/this evening is for heavy rains & T-Storms. On the off chance our power and/or internet gets knocked out, someone can call me when it's my pick, so I don't hold up the draft. Doubt it will be necessary, but just in case... :)

PLEASE READ - HOW TO HANDLE THE FRENZY??? 02 Jun 2006 14:31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm concerned that the idea for a Frenzy is a poor one.

Since we have different ERA's when we do an autodraft HAL will mix up all our cards with players from ERA's other than the one any specific manager is in.

ANY IDEA's?????

One might be to autodraft with each manager taking a franchise from their ERA and then during the frenzy replace them with players from the proper ERA.

We could draft Franchises to fill our rosters.

We could continue drafting players until our rosters are completed and void a Frenzy or have a Frenzy with all players not on rosters being eligible though each manager still could only pick up a player from their ERA.

I'm going to set up a Chat Thread for this subject.

As for the frenzy I am not at all sure I see the problem- we put our 10 or whatever it is drafted players at the top of the card instead of the bottom as would be usual, autodraft the rest, try and post the drafted players and during the frenzy rapidly release all non-era players ASAP.
If you put the autodraft at top then I see your problem as you will end up with a bunch of players from other eras that were 'live drafted' but it should work okay the other way.
I am fairly dense so I could be missing a major point here.
