In my rush to get this league off the ground I did not research all the issues that may arrive from start of franchise selection through the NEL/Non Franchise draft...I originally stated that this would be a serpentine draft and then thought about it after it was brought to my attention that the top team would get an unfair advantage on the second round and that the last team selectors would be handicapped further...The only thing for me to do is to keep the current draft as stated, however I will pass in the second round of the free agent draft and make that selection in the auto draft after everyone selects their second pick...At this point it is all that I can come up with...If anyone wants to bail I will understand but I hope not...

I think this kinda sucks now Vinnie...

It would be different if I was guaranteed a few former Angels, but without any guarantees the lesser teams will suffer.

We can do a few things:
1. We can cancel the league (I would rather not)
2. If any one wants to bail...I will seek replacements
3. Have any one swap positions with me and exchange there team for mine.
4. As a reminder there are more then enough quality players who are for the lack of a better term non-franchised players avail.............I count at least 20 to 25 high calibers ...plus the NEL players

I echo that sentiment.
I thought that with a consensus of the managers you would roll with the straight 12 down to 1 order both times.
It seems only one manager objected - not on the merits of fairness or parity within the league - but just on principle; which I can appreciate; but when I look at what my remaining choices were, the pitfalls and lack of luck of the auto draft - crap - I'm not even sucking hind titty, I'm sucking on air.
