The 2020/2021 Tournament: Rnd 6 - Lg 2 - Completed Topic

Please consider this just gentle feedback and not really a complaint...but the draft order for this round seems dramatically unfair. I absolutely agree with the idea that the better teams from round 5 should have an advantage in the draft order for round 6. But given the utter scarcity of good pitching, the round 1 draft order already gives an enormous advantage to those teams. I don't understand why both rounds 3 AND 4 have the round 1 draft order. A straight serpentine draft would have been better...heck I could even see an argument for 1-24, 24-1, 24-1, 1-24, or even 1-24, 24-1, 24-1, 24-1. In any of those, I believe the advantage would still accrue to the teams with a better draft slot in round 1. As things stand, I believe the advantage is much too strong.

I would agree IF there wasn't the rule of 6 picks per team. But that rule flips things a bit. In all drafts, a standard serpentine format is considered fair. Flipping the last round seems to be a reasonable solution to rewarding teams with the best records. I guess we'll ultimately get to find out once this plays out.

I was halfway through creating this post about 8 hours ago when my son came in to tell me the garage was flooding. Washing machine overflowed, it seems, and we had a lot of stuff in the garage. Much of it in cardboard boxes. Took hours to clear it out, toss the stuff we couldn't salvage or really never needed in the first place, and get it dried and the rest put back in. So, I had an unexpected delay but I apologize.

Anyway, I hate all these teams. ... With that out of the way, I'll sink my chances of advancing by selecting
