All Time Fantasy Draft: Eras

[AFEV]

The 'Eras' Fantasy Draft is a new concept that BOOMZ and I have been working on for a while now, and it's finally come to life!
Basically, there will be 6 managers (all of which have been pre-chosen) who pick players based on the eras in which they played their careers.

The Rules
Subject to change.

Section 1.1
Eligibility

• Each player must have played at least 1 senior game in a major league. The leagues considered to be 'major' are as following:
WANFL, SANFL, TFL, VFL and VFA prior to 1990, and the AFL from 1990 until the conclusion of the 2011 season. For those who aren't familiar with the old league names, the WANFL became the WAFL, the TFL became the TSL, the VFL became the AFL and the VFA became the VFL.

• Each player is eligible to be picked in any era they played in. For example Tigers legend Kevin Bartlett would be eligible for selection for the 1960s era, 1970s era and 1980s era.

• Each player is only eligible for selection once. For example, if Kevin Bartlett were to be picked in the 1960s era, he would no longer be available for selection in the 1970s era, nor the 1980s era.

Section 1.2
Definition of an Era

• Each 'Era' will be a 10 year block, from the beginning to the finish of the decade. For example, in the 1980s era players that played in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989 would be eligible for selection for that era.

• Due to the small amount of time between the foundation of the VFL (1896) and the turn of the decade (1900) the 2 eras will be drafted together, as to not hand a large disadvantage to managers with early picks in the 1890s era.

• There will be 11 eras in which players will be selected

Section 1.3
Selection Process

• Each manager will select 2 players from each era, meaning a dozen players from each era will be selected in the initial drafting process. At the end of the selection process each manager will have a 22 man team.

• Once the initial selection process is completed each manager will have the opportunity to select 3 players who were not taken in their era. This will mean that more players from 'golden eras' will be selected, and allow each manager to name 3 emergencies.

• Each manager will have 24 hours to make their selection, their clock will begin when the manager with the selection immediately prior to theirs makes their selection. For example, if Manager X takes their pick at 12:00:00 AM on Sunday then Manager Y will have until 12:00:00 AM on Monday to make their selection.

• Each of the 6 managers will be assigned a number (see below) and I will use http://www.random.org/ to generate the numbers. If the number you're assigned is generated first, you will receive the first selection in the 1890s/1900s era.

• At the beginning of each era selection order will change, the person who received the first selection in the previous era will then receive the last, and each other manager will receive a selection which is one place higher than what they'd previously received.

Section 1.4
Misc.

• The winner will be determined in a poll, which will be held in 'The Front Bar.' The poll will run for 1 week, the manager who receives the most votes will be declared the winner of the draft, the manager with the second most will be awarded second etc.

• If you're aware that you'll be unable to make your selections for any significant period of time, please leave some selections with another FanFooty user. Nobody likes to be skipped and we want a fair draft ;)

[CrowsFan]

Interesting concept. Just wondering when those 6 people signed up for the draft considering this is the first I have heard about it?

[AFEV]

So guys, what are thoughts on a start time?
I thought I'd take it to you seeing as you know what time works for you. I was thinking a Saturday start time to give everyone a chance to research a bit, however I'm more than happy if you guys want to get off a bit earlier or if you want a bit more time :)

[PowerBug]

Just get the 150 years of AFL book. All the answers of who to get right there. ;D

Well I've been working on this one since the All Time Draft ended, Boomzie and I landed on this scheme (one of the more simple ones) and sent out PMs earlier today. We did keep it to ourselves, although I do believe I let slip that I had some plans after the all time - and did give c4 some rather vague info on it.

[CrowsFan]

Ah fair enough then.
Guess I wasn't asked to play since I won the all time cricket draft and would be unfair if I won both :P

Yeah that's pretty much it :P

lol

nah i'm ready whenever
i'm not till pick 3 so should have some chance to research :)

[ossie85]

Ok. Have my pick all set up. Hope C4 doesn't nab him!

[DazBurg]

alright done my research got 14 to pick from...lol

[Boomz]

C4 is busy so start time will be tomorrow at midnight.

[ossie85]

C4 is busy so start time will be tomorrow at midnight.
