riftonapple, you need to send a site mail to yourself to let you know it’s your turn

As long as I have known about this league everyone has had the opportunity to request a draft slot that is closer to 1 or closer to 24. I was thinking, why stop there? What if (see what I did there?) everyone was allowed to request a specific spot. If you are the only one who asks for a spot, it's yours! If, for example, if ten people request #1, then those ten people go into a lottery to see who gets #1. However if someone else requested #2 or #3 or #5 or #8, and they get these spots, then the #1 group would be in a lottery for the highest spots that aren't taken. In this case they would be in the running for #1, #4, #6, #7, #9 and so on.

Let me know what you think. Good? Bad? Really stupid? You've gone too far this time Midge, I'm sending for a straight jacket.

willing tò listen tò offers for the up coming pick

This has actually always been allowed. I used to ask for closer to “8”

Why is it tò instead of to?

When you asked for closer to 8 did you get it?

Yes or “closer” to it. You still have to go by draft order. So, if 9 people had a worse record and all said 1, I’d get ten.

if 9 people had a worse record and 5 said 1 and 4 said 24, I would get 8

albi, are you looking for anything in particular?

looking to trade down to pick 6-10 (i would ask for a pick swap, your 3rd for my 4th)
