I think we have the next BOWIS coming soon, the dreaded autodraft. Ben - can you post some rules here to confirm? I've never done one. Just looked at the old original post and it just says "computer" takes the best available of your 168 players. I assume someone did the math there's no chance you can't fill 6 players? And the rest of the 6 players are UFA for you to fill the roster. Anything else?
It’s essentially the same as the ODL or 52, but instead of selecting your players you submit a list and the script selects the highest remaining player on your list when your pick is up. You fill out the rest of your team with your remaining cap.
I think only doing 7 rounds of auto draft was important or it wouldve been entirely luck. Still it will be fun to see how this all goes. I have a plan (or focus) that I think will work but who knows my plans usually don’t.
It’s 6 rounds with the 6th round being a double just like the ODL. The only differences are a $50M cap and the pre-submitted list. Let me know if you have any other specific questions!

Sorry yeah 6 but 7 picks.

Thanks - and no mathematical chance 168 isn't enough? No one has ever not gotten 7 guys before?

168 is way more than you’ll actually need. But if you happen to get the 1st pick and your top 166 players happen to be picked with the 166 picks before you, then you’ll get your 167th and 168th ranked players.

Will we find out our draft order before we submit our picks?

No. Lists are due next Friday before 8 PM EST. That is when the lottery starts. robusk will run the draft that night and everyone will have their teams.

Don’t you need to assume that you have the first pick and build your list based on that?

Interesting ok I prefer it that way. Also for the sake of some of our really slow owners if lists are due next Friday you might want to send a sitemail soon.

Rob will be sending out a sitemail soon with instructions on how to send ballots.

To be clear this isn’t me complaining I fully understand why names need to be in that format. But this is extremely unfortunate for me considering I mostly have all the names in as nicknames or first then last.
10/20/2023 12:21 PM
Apparently I haven't added the 2223 players to the list in the main thread.

If it is in sheets, we can update it to last name first name very easily.

Yeah Ben(Joker) gave me a good formula that helped. Although some I just had iggy or R Williams. Curse my laziness.

What about Gary Payton II? He is listed as Payton, Gary.
10/21/2023 7:54 PM
Yeah when they switch like that it is best to default to the name with the suffix included.
