NLD 33

Hi gang, please indicate your park preference ASAP!

1) Do a live park draft prior to player draft using best to worst record from NLD32
2) As above but using worst to best record
3) As above but random draft order for park draft
4) Random parks allocation (trust me, this is challenging and fun)
5) Bidding draft picks for parks (perhaps Joe can explain this concept better)
6) Stay with traditional park selection method


East
Stoney - 4 sounds interesting but have no strong preference
Big M - 6
Semper - 4 (I think he implied this?)
DJ -

Central
Jeep -
Corky - 4
ArrylT -
Keyzick -

West
Hawk - 4 (sounds challenging)
Big A - no park preference
JTJ - 6, but think #5 would be interesting too.
GB

Yes, "4" is my pick.

As for the draft allocation, picking a park first or last want help me a dang bit.

Hi ladies!

I trust this finds everyone well. Keeper seasons are in full swing. Just wanted to pop my head in the old neighborhood to say hi.


Good luck this season.

Holy Smokey!

Glad you stopped by. How are things?

So, we're starting on Monday. Probably want to get a league set up? $100 I guess. thought it would be fun to try $60, but that's ok.

Need to hear from DJ/Jeep/AT and Keyz on park selection. Big M, maybe we should ping them?

Actually, I think AT weighed in didn't he? I went back and read. Sounds like he's a don't care.

I'm ok with whichever. If you need an official designation put me down for the one with the current lead.

OK then, #4 wins. We can try it for this season and see what we think moving forward. I do NOT anticipate having a rules related poll before every season moving forward though.

I will set up the park randomizer later today, and the draft soon after. We can have an unofficial start over the weekend with no clock, then get going for real on Monday. Should be fun with random parks!
