Sabremetrics League Draft Topic

How is everybody feeling about the quality of how I ran this?  I plan on trying this as a regressive, doing 1990-1999 then 1980-1989, etc....   my question is...  based on how I ran this so far,

A)  Would you be cool joining if this league is as competitive as it looks

and

B)  Is there anything I can do to make it better and improve?

So Far so Good...just two things... 1) No Draft Times over a weekend

                                                       2). Just a thought, have a random assignment of Ballparks before the draft to see how it affects the selections

I will be in again for sure

like the idea...seems the draft did not run smoothly (at least for me)

it appears that after draft many teams will not get to the cap even after drafting guys for 1.5...but i guess we shall see...

general premise i really like...but again lets see how the league plays out

Spoon....  I was not going to have the draft over the weekend.  However, 3 people said that they were going on vacation or work trips this upcoming week, and if the league was not up and open to join, they could not do it until a week later.  So, I was placed into a position where either the league's draft was smoother, or 21 players waited for 3 to enter their teams a week after everyone else.  If this was a normal league, that would have been enough time where guys wouldnt have even noticed the week to fill.  However, after a draft like this, where all you have to do is take a team and fill it with pre-drafted players, it shouldnt take more than a day or two to fill the league after the draft, and I thought GMs might get upset at the wait.  So, I scheduled the weekend.  In future leagues there will be no weekend drafting.

I think you're doing a fine job eschwartz. I expressed my concern over the draft starting so quickly after the forum filled, so I would have waited a bit before imposing time limits. I also like the idea of having a place where each team's picks are listed. And I would definitely be interested in doing a 90s league, an 80s league, and etcetera.

I think you are doing a fine job as well.  I agree that an updated team's list for all to refer to would be a big help.  Should eliminate the duplicate picks.  I will be sticking around to play the 90s 80s etc.
