a question Ben
3. $50M Banned (every player drafted in the first two leagues is banned)

does this cover all players drafted in the 55m and 45m leagues 6 round drafts?

Yes. Any player drafted in either of the first two drafts will be banned from the third draft.

To piggyback on that question, all players that are chosen in the 5 non-exclusive spots in leagues 1 and 2 are eligible in the $50M Banned draft, correct?

this looks like a challenging premise. i do like that it is spread out over a year period. one further question will trading of draft picks be permitted during the 6 round drafts? i don’t consider myself as one of the best managers in wis. i just enjoy the team building and competing. so i will give this a try as i find it intriguing.

Draft positions can be traded, but not individual picks. So if you have the 1st slot, you can trade that for the 4th slot, but you would be trading all of your picks for all of the other user's picks.

I do want you to understand that this is a commitment to six different drafts. You've flaked out mid-draft before, so I want to make sure you are in for all six. If you can give me your word that you'll see all six leagues through, then you are in!

If we can get the last person soon we hope to use tonight’s New York Quick Draw Lottery to determine draft positions. I like the idea of getting our drafts spots at the same time the NBA Draft is happening.

Which wild card option do you prefer?

1. $50M Autodraft: Everyone makes a list of 168 players without seeing anyone else's list. Computer takes the first available player off your list for you.
?2. $50M Silent Auction: Everyone has $100 of fake bidding money. Highest bid gets each player.
3. $50M Era league: Era tbd, but players available will be restricted to a particular decade or era. If this one gets picked, we will have another poll for which era.
Votes: 22

Autodraft was a lot of fun. Era league is already being done in the DDL. IMO, Silent Auction doesn't have a lot to do with drafting skills, it's more bidding skills, and so really doesn't factor into determining BOWIS (if we're keeping with the theme of the league)

Doesn't autodraft just come down to luck in terms of how the positions get filled? Is there any consideration to that, or could you end up with no PG and 120 minutes at Center? If so, that seems more a test of luck than skill.
