When I was talking about even rounds, I was talking about NOW, as we are initially putting together our teams. It was my understanding that after the initial draft we would keep three players, then have on Supplemental round of drafting in reverse order of record — or something along those lines. Don't care if it's two rounds serpentine.

I'm also trying to get an understanding of stadiums. Even though we obviously may not be able to keep them through decades, It would be nice if we each had our own stadiums when it comes to each decade.

We're already having a 4-round draft on players. There's really no way to do an equitable 5th round for stadiums. It's best we keep to "own" stadiums.

I see there is still a lot of discussion around stadiums. So lets do it this way.

Lets add a 5th round for stadiums. But keep in mind you can draft your stadium in any round so you can put as much focus on the stadium as you wish. However if your stadium is no longer available for the next decade you will either get the new stadium in which the team played or be forced to use your one supplemental pick to choose a new stadium.

The vote was one supplemental pick so after season one we have three keepers and then based on standings we pick one more players.

As with all the rules I am happy to have a revote any any time for any of the rules. I want to always go with majority rule and will only make a call on split decisions.

The problem with this is you're now making our draft a 5-round, odd-numbered serpentine draft. This gives an unfair advantage to those picking 1-6.

We really should vote on the stadium issue. But if we do have a "stadium" round either way, then we should keep the draft to 4 rounds or make it 6.

With all this voting French may not even realize he is up to pick. I vote to have less voting and more decisions made by the commish.

I TOTALLY Agree!
I think one could post by the commish to clarify his intentions for the league should do that. Then we can just play ball!!!! :-)

I'm ready to pick as soon French makes his choice known.
