80's Keeper Draft. Name your Protected Players!! Please

Well this is the third change we have had on the way we do divisions Since we seem to be going by whoever speaks up last I vote Random It isn't fair that some had to show there stadiums as early as first part of draft and others could wait until near end of draft to decide This gives those later deciding teams a great advantage Make it fair for all and no one knows who is in their division.

Griz

I agree with Billings, the teams that were able to wait and see which stadiums their division rivals picked, gain an unfair advantage. A great way to even the playing field is to make it Random, this will ensure were all playing on an equal playing field. An example would be if you were playing poker and you could see others cards before you placed your bets. If we go with random, this will let the chips fall where they may.

OK. Vote time. Divisions as set originally, OR divisions random. Please use the terms: Original, or Random when you cast your vote. I dont really care either way. Because, I dont care which, and, so that we cannot end in a tie, I will not get a vote. That leaves 11 other managers to vote.

Don't care. How bout a randomizer for which stadium you get

Will be unavailable for a few hrs. Singleton and Cooper should be safe picks for my next 2.

I think it is a lot less likely that anyone would draft differently due to stadiums than layer order. I have bee n traveling and haven't used a non riverfront team in forever. Don't know stadiums as well as players.

We'll stay with our selected stadiums.... And, either, wasnt a choice, so the count so far, is 2 random, and 0 Original with 3 abstains.

What exactly the rational for changing the stadium rule? Because it took too long? It seems like at least one person is implying I purposely delayed picking for some reason? I have been paying attention somewhat to the other players in my division but I could car less what the other parks in my sivision are. I have found riverfront to be the optimal stadium for my strategy. I have played wriggles a bunch in the past and, as ridiculous as it sounds, I have found it moderately more hr hectic than river. I wanted to see what other stadiums were closer to river. Didn't think anyone was anxiously waiting to see my stadium. Sorry if I put anyone out.
Also van slake being taken right before I was about too set me back until I was able to hot a desktop to decide between copper (who is clearly not getting back to me) and Gorman. If I was trying to manipulate something, I would have define lay gone with a more insane hr park once I decided on Gorman.
Again sorry if I put anyone out but I have been traveling with the family.
On any case I don't think it makes sense to arbitrarily change the rules now unless someone can explain why. The fact that some people had more time too see what stadiums other people picked doesn't hold that much water because 1 that is a function of the fact that we were drafting stadiums and players at the same time and 2 by the time I picked every other division was done and 2 of the teams in my division were Yet to pick.
