Live Draft interests? Topic

I have a half full live draft: THM76952
I just joined the only other live draft I see offered: THM77278
Both are limited to a single season player pool.

This post isn't so much recruiting either of those leagues, but to generate discussion about interest in live drafts.

Some discussion questions....
1 Have you played a live draft league? If so, what did you like or dislike? If not, do you have any specific hesitations you can name?

2 Instead of a pool degined by a season, would you like a pool defined by a salary range or a run of seasons or a franchise? Or something else?

3 Do you have questions about how live drafts work? Would you be interested in trying if you had a mentor?

I wish I had more live draft chances in SLB. I'm willing to commish but happy to join. I think talking about it might help. I just bought another 6 pack before credits would expire and would enjoy spending several of them drafting, including live drafts, because I like the interactive elements of my choices impacting the choices that follow.

I've played in a couple of live drafts, both single season leagues. I liked the draft experience overall. Downside is most single-season leagues tend to be progressive leagues and live draft doesn't support keepers, I've never seen it used with broader player pools and don't know if more common theme restrictions could be applied to the live draft process. I think it's mostly limited to single-season functionally which really limits options for use as well as the pool of owners to participate.

What are some theme restrictions worth considering? We could definitely do things like over-under or every player in a salary range.

We could also do runs of 5-10 years or random years, particularly with other player limits. But limiting the pool is important to incentivize picking in slot.
