in this type of draft, it needs to go one player per round. seems like it is a solid advantage for the people on the back end in my humble opinion...

solid advantage? u've had 3 cracks at the top tier players while the bottom half half has two. selecting one player evens it up, while the draft would snake back anyway, shap. this isn't about creating advantages or disadvantages, it's about trying to end a draft quicker.

i am open to suggestions though. we could just simply end the draft after one 2600 min player has been drafted. thoughts?

Again, quick resolution, by any means necessary.

forget it. i'm w/the masses. full speed ahead, captain.

One guy up to 2600, another up to 1000?
That's 6 and 7.

8 is 2000 non excl.

should be all we need

well, those are interesting numbers, badja... as it stands now, u get those players anayway, all at 2600 mins or less... if i ever do this league again, i'm gonna have to find a way to end the drafting like the odl and funk leagues do... quickly, but there is enough of a variation in this league where perhaps a two player selection isn't completely fair. i will work on a better ending. thanjks for the comments.

why would a 2000 max minute guy be non-exculsive but a 1000 max minute guy exclusive? that's kind of defeating the purpose of drafting.

how about this:

Round 6 - 1 2600 max minute guy
Round 7 - 1 2000 max minute guy
All other players are non-exclusive and can have a max of 1000 minutes only with at least 3 @ 239k.

OR

just draft 6 rounds - 1 exclusive 2600 minute guy in the 6th and all other players are non-exclusive but follow these criteria:

only allowed 1 guy over 1000 minutes - his max is 2000 tho
at least 3 @ 239k
like the odl, drafted players must play the majority of minutes at each position

I'm down with ending it quickly. Doesn't matter, as you say there are plenty of guys available. thx

but...what about #8?

Just lay it down for us, scud, and we'll do it.

lol... u guys are a riot... i mean it. riot is a good thing. well, i'm into keeping the rules the way they are. too many changes leads to complications. i think round 6 should be like the odl, pick two players. tons . it's not like were looking for major players here, just solid back-ups and maybe some 3's.

round 6... pick two guys under 2600 mins. end of draft

on your roster, u must have three, 239k players. for what it's worth, i just really need the one 2600 min player and my other guy will just be under 1400 mins. so, i think, like the odl, the tandems we pick at the end will be varied and plentiful.
