I did a prospect count and there's definitely enough quality prospects available for a 3-4 round draft
Poll is a simple yes or no, but please leave a comment on # of rounds you would like to see and how you would like order determined, will be snake draft format again:
A) Same order as dispersal draft
B) Reverse order of dispersal draft
C) New random order
Format:
- Only players with less than 10 GP are eligible to be selected.
- All players drafted will inherit their ELC contracts with remaining term. If under 750K, their salary will be adjusted to that to meet league minimum. Also, if they do not have a contract, they will receive a 3 year @ 750,000
- Each team will have 2 hours to pick. If you do not pick, your pick is skipped to the next team and you can select from the remaining prospects at any time
- The clock will freeze each night from 12AM until 10 AM EST. Picks can be made during this time, but the clock will not start counting until it unfreezes.
- Picks cannot be traded.

Reverse of dispersal
Are these the prospects not chosen when we made our list of 15?

Reverse of dispersal Are these the prospects not chosen when we made our list of 15? Why don't we just continue with the draft. How fair is it when I was one of the last team to pick just now. So continue with the same order. |

So continue with the same order. You had one of the first picks in round 1, having one of the last picks in round 6 doesn't mean much when everyone was all over the place picking out the "scraps" |

Reverse of dispersal Are these the prospects not chosen when we made our list of 15? Prospects among those not chosen top 15 as well as any remaining top prospects from the 10 non-selected teams that weren't chosen. Essentially, we continue the dispersal draft, but only prospects are eligible. It's a way to limit crazy UFA contracts for them without adding in more rules to FA. |

So continue with the same order. Well i drafted last for the dispersal, so how is it fair for me to draft last again? lol. Not complaining, Not even saying we should reverse the order. We can simply have a weighted lottery drawing that gives whoever drafted 20th last time the best odds, the guy who drafted at 19 the second best odds and so on. |

i vote no.
i'm not sure this more equitable than fa w/ bid limits and other constraints mentioned. snake draft for limited talent means some GMs maybe guaranteed to get multiple talented prospect by virtue of where the prospect pool falls off(diff between pick 1+40 vs 18+22). Also 2 hr time window with no set schedule means easy for guys to miss their pick(even they leave lists --a. that gives the list receiver a big competitive advantage and b. what is the guarantee that list receiver is always online to make the pick before the next team picks)
I'm not sure i believe in the idea that there is this massive pool of hugely desirable prospects that people are going to be bidding $5million on. could make so you can only make opening bids on 2-3 guys a day, but can raise on others??
anyways if enough guys want to draft i think we should have a set schedule so no one is rushed to pick.
order-either random new generation,reverse of the dispersal 1st rd, or weighted idea that Dallas mentioned

I agree with you, I don't mind having another lottery drawing for this upcoming draft. It make the more sense and sorry for being greedy. In a way I wasn't trying to be greedy but I see what your saying. By the way in another league I was soo unlucky that I drafted 23 in both draft since they did the lottery instead of doing the reverse.

3 RDS
Weighted reverse
I'd like to hear more about how this is gonna wwork tho.with such short time periods I can imagine GM's will leave lists- I'm not sure it's realistic to expect the commish to be on all the time to get people's picks in before they are skipped and the draft rolls on. Think we need tomake an actual schedule for picks.

Think we need tomake an actual schedule for picks. Picks being skipped in this draft aren't as big a deal as in the dispersal. Look at round 6. Picks were being skipped and people were still getting the players they wanted (I assume). Everyone is going to have a different list. Teams dropping me lists will just have to fully be aware that I might not be around. Those on whatsapp could drop it to the group and let them decide. We have a really knowledgeable group so I think sending the public list won't influence anyone too much. One thing teams need to be diligent on is PM'ing the next GM as I can't be on all the time to do it and it wasn't be done very well during the dispersal draft. It has 11 votes so majority rules. I'm going to do the weighted reverse lottery tonight and will post the order (no fancy YT video this time). It will be posted at around 5:30 PM EST. Draft clock starts @ 8PM EST. Once I create the thread, teams can start picking right away but clock doesn't start until 8. Draft will be 4 rounds based on the popular vote. If anyone has issues with the above, please let me know ASAP. |

Did we decide about what to do with the players not selected? They available for FA bids or held over until next years amateur draft? Personally i don't really care as i am going to have issues finding 4 guys in this draft i want.
