The SC/DRAFT 2008 - discussion thread.

Unless you change a selection pretty much straight away and before someone else takes a following pick there shouldn't be any delistings while drafting. It just makes things too complicated.

Agree.
 
Just a reminder that Rick Ladson will be a defender in my team, if you could make the changes accordingly that would be awesome.
 
Ok.

Heres my thoughts.

When making the rule, it was meant in the spirit of if you were over the salary cap, or if you went over the position qouta and wouldn't be able to register on SC.

This only being the first time this Idea of a comp is being played by most of us. I thought that Salary Cap and Player Positions were very critical in making this game even get off the ground ( it has to be 100% accurate to enable us to continue on SC)

Sorry Maverick - But your delisting isn't because you have gone over the salary cap or position based.

As others have stated that is the spirit the rule was made. It was made to ensure we could adjust mistakes.

Season/long term injuries are the only other times delisting is allowed.

So in reply - Mav - your delisting doesn't count. To me it is against the spirit of the rule.

However I am happy to have the 3 day trade period at the end and of the Draft, however I want all teams finalised and on SC at minimum 1 week prior to Rd 1.



Please have patience and flexibility as this is a work in progress. I tried to think of all things that may have eventuated, but some things we need to work through.

Mav - response is welcome.
 
Has a league been made yet? If I could get PM'd the details that would be great.

I will give everyone the league, after all Final team lists are posted on here, and everything is 100% ready to go on SC.

It doesn't stop you doing what you want on SC now, in a whichever league they put you in now, as when the time comes, everyone will be able to just type in the league number I give.
 
Later this afternoon/tonight I will have done an audit and the 1st couple of posts will have been updated.

I will let everyone know when thats complete.
 
In our game will we be able to trade for any player after the 1st game or only those players remaining in the draft pool?

I'm just wondering how important these reserves will be?

only the draft pool.

no player will ever be in 2 teams at once.

Very important. Though you will have 20 trades available but can only trade in and out of the player pool balance (ie players left). Trades will have to occur through PRE first to "claim" the player so other can't use him.

The core goal is to ensure that a player is only used once - which is at odds a little bit with Supercoach - hence the use of PRE as an approval point. It's more challenging than regular Supercoach that's for sure, but still using Supercoach as the platform for all the crunch work!

U2

When I joined the game I read the rules and that was the basis under which I was playing.
ie I read rule 12 and understood that you could delist a player and select two as a result.

I made a selection in haste last night, knowing that I would likely change it after reviewing it when I had time.

I can understand peoples views about how this rule my cause some hassle and may not be a great one.

But in summary your honor I shouldn't be penalised by playing by the rules!

My recommedation is change the rules now and everyone can play under that basis from this point on.

Its all fun. ;D
 
I object your honour. ;D
We all have regrets about some of the decisions we have made but it is unfair if Mav is the only one who gets to change.
Otherwise we should all be entitled to one exchange.

Over ruled - rules are rules. Maybe you should of taken the time to read them. :hihi

there's rules?

Beautifully said "Flabby"

I too have had to make a at least two choice in haste - do i regret them - probably. i suspect we all have one. It's possibly an all or nothing situation Maverick. Will you cede for the good of the comp? I suspect you see the future complications (it's not like you've taken Kane Johnson thinking you were getting Brad Johnson, or any other Johnston or Johnstone for that matter :hihi )

We need a stateman like decision ;)

By the way Mav, have read the book 'Maverick' by a guy called ????? Semmler?
 
Mav - it is only a game, so I'm sure you won't be to upset.

But that 12. Rule was made under the heading to do with Salary cap and position changes as a nescessity for people stuffing up.

I am not the best poet/writer/lawmaker in the world, but honestly was meant to fix salary cap breaches.

Tredreas a dud anyway :eek:
 
i'm still picking players who have already been picked. is there an up to date list?
 
I am computer gimp at best of times.

it will take me about 1/2 hour from now to be done.

be patient. I had a few days off work earlier in the week. now I am missing just as much as everyone else.
