The Supercoach Draft Game (Read if involved/Vote on the new poll)

[Nige]

You can only join one draft league right?

I believe so.

Here are the rules guys.  :)

Hey Nig,
Very effiecent mate well done,
Is the draft order worked out when everyones logged in?

[The_Captain]

so we have 24 hours to choose 1 player?

Yep, but once you've picked it'll go on to the next guy. However, if you're 1st or 8th you'll get double picks because it's a snake draft. Preferences can be set.

I would think so. Need all 8 to join the league first, then I assume it would generate the draft order. Preferences can be set now though.

Its a good thing with the length of time available between picks.
Because ever since  supercoach pro has been running when the live draft was on,there would be some sort of meltdown
freezing your ability to see when your pick was and missing your pick or picks.
So you would have to log off and log back on all the time.

[Nige]

Everyone should note that after a bit of discussion this morning, the time per turn to pick will be shortened significantly to keep it moving. If this means you have set preferences, do that.  :)

Have joined and looks like you will be unable to set up pre draft picks till league filled.

Like the idea of pre picked as if time is missed you will get your highest placed player remaining only downside would be if player was not the position you needed to fill. Much better than an auto pick player.

Just a question...
Can you only be in one 'draft' league? surely I'm missing something haha..

[Ringo]

Agree with shortening the time to pick from the initial 24hrs but think down to 5 minutes or less may be a bit much.  Bear in mind we do not start our comp for 63 days.

You can ringo,just go to predraft and click and drag the players up and down in the numerical order you want them.

The idea was that we needed to keep it flowing rather than people take advantage of the longer period. But yes, there's a bit of time until it starts. Can always bump it up to 10 minutes or half an hour or something.

Also didn't realise that the league had be filled before people could actually set preferences. I would have thought people could do that from the start, must have missed it.

I think so shorty, please tell me you're sticking with us. Had two people drop out already, but had replacements. No more on the waiting list now.  :(

Aha, thought as much. Hadn't tried, been busy trying to organise my own sides.

What you could try Nigeys, is start the draft with 12 hour per pick and if its going to slow after a week or so, change it to 3 minutes a pick for the rest of the draft, just to get it completed..
