SMALL BALL KINGS PRE-1920 DRAFTING

Should I make a stadium pick in case you guys want to end it after this round?

Sure!

We wouldn't end it after an odd number round.....would we?

Ok official decision, we will end after round 24. Pick your stadiums please and AD final two positions.

Thanks,
Dan

Did you consider the problems that will cause? Guys will be auto drafting players that have already been selected through the first 24 rounds by other teams. Unless you instruct everyone to rank their auto draft players as number 24 and 25, and their previously drafted players as 1 thru 23. Just thinking out loud here - maybe the assumption was that everyone would do that anyway? But you know what happens when you assume!!!

I don't think it will be a problem and yes please place them at spot 24 and 25. Most will be scrubs if we end up with any drafted players on the wrong roster we will straighten it out easily enough. Thanks.

why cant we just finish? I have a strategy I have been following. What is two more picks?Big deal this is a marathon tourney.

Why would guys be autodrafting players that have already been selected?? Guys should only be listing available players. The autodraft is designed to where Hal will never pick a player that is on someone else's draft card. The last two picks would be at the top of the draft card as you already own the rest of the players. This is not complicated and we've been doing it for many years.

I agree with kev about the AD draft order.

So in our "manual drafts" no one has ever selected a player that had already been selected? Only available players have been selected?!?! Damn - I must have been in Superman's Bizarro world observing previous drafts then. Well....excuuuuuse me for pointing out what isn't so freaking obvious. If you put your last two autodraft picks at the top of the draft card, and if just by chance you didn't know that your selection JOE BLOW was already selected by another manager in the previous 23 or 24 rounds of manual draft and said other manager has him listed on his draft card lower than the first two slots, guess what's going to happen? I'm with Newman - let's just continue the manual draft. I said once before long ago - clarification and explanation of rules BEFOREHAND go a long way to avoiding problems. What's the point of closing the barn door after the horses have already escaped?
