Round 11 is complete and posted. . . ready for 12.1

About halfway home!

Round 12 was another PERFECT effort, good work men. :)

Strange fact: in season 1 there were 0 players with the last name "Burns" drafted . . . this season there have already been 4 (Bill, George, Oyster, & Todd).

Ready for 13.1

sent my pick. I am last in.

Round 13.1 posted, we had one request for a blacklisted player, otherwise clean.

13 is now complete, ready for your 14.1 requests.

annnnnd now we've misplaced spoonfed. . . .

Round 14.1 posted with same results as 13.1. . . we had one request for a blacklisted player, otherwise clean. Need Disco Dogs to repick.

Way to keep it moving guys, round 15 was perfect. Ready for your 16.1 requests.

Round 16 is complete, this is almost boring now! :) I'm surprised we aren't having at least one match per round. . . .lots and lots of middle talent to choose from I guess.

Ready for 17.1

I think another season would be fun. Big blacklist forces us to consider players we don't usually consider.

I totally agree.

I agree . . . I enjoy leagues where you are forced to evaluate lower talent pools. However this format is really labor intensive from a commish standpoint, I'll have to mull it over. . . .

Hope it's ok if I chime in with my $0.02 here.

Despite absolutely loving this concept and having more fun in v1 of this league than I have in any draft for quite a while, this is why I didn't rejoin for this season (though, as you can tell, I am following along). The most fun part is watching the collisions happen (even when they happen to you!), but the bigger the blacklist, the less likely collisions are to occur, which makes this draft less unique that it otherwise would be.

Just for your information, I am in another draft going on now with calhoop. Last we heard he was snowed in the mountains with no power, internet etc. We probably should be prepared to wait until he gets plowed out or whatever they do in the mountains to get people back to civilization. We are also guessing his cell phone finally died.

I have to agree. You could do the first iteration infinitely and get a completely different draft each time. It could be cool to just run that over and over again.
