Just so we know going forward, on reverses!!!! and we hope you have another one next season  "DODDLEDUC"

Because noone else can grab him:

Wild Card:

Johnny MIze

Ned Bligh C

Toddle when you have time on page one you skipped the (15) slot Round 25
thanks

Well since my whole purpose was to draft from the Pittsburgh Burghers (1890) this whole time, screwing the teams behind me with major salary and trying to even the playing field for my 95 million $ team, I will let Todd use my reverse on whatever he wants to improve his team and make him a happy camper again. Go ahead and reverse and then I'll pick my ****** player whenever I'm out of the air today. Glad this is a sim team rather than LIVE... Not like I play LIVE anymore anyways.

According to the rules, if you don't play your reverse at the scheduled time, you forfeit it. That means that you and the owners behind you are stuck with a Columbus Solon until they are reversed.

That said, I see Toddleduc's point and respect his ruling. Next season, maybe we can compromise. For instance, to lead off a round with a team, it has to have 24 eligible players. But with a reverse, it has to have enough players to finish the round. For instance, if you're picking 10th, there would have to be 15 eligible players for you to reverse in order to complete the round without the use of another reverse or a wild card.

Well it's a proxy given to Todd to make decision with...

Agreed-  Bastan has to either pick a team or proxy a team. 

I can't just arbitrarily pick someone.  I'm sorry if you pinned your whole entire Draft on Round 24 team.
It's not about making me "a happy camper".  It is what should logically be allowed.
I'm sorry if you approached this Draft trying to screw people & not build a good team.
I thought the idea of a DRaft League was to build a good team. 
If you have a $95 million team in a $120 cap League- then I'm not sure why you're even playing.

Thanks everyone for the support... just trying to be logical and fair here.  We'll clean up the Rules a bit if you guys want to do another UNO in a month or two- if some of you want to quit because I didn't allow a team to be used that didn't have enough players to cover the Round- then I'm sorry you don't see the logic in having a functional Draft.

You should make the decision.  IMHO, you should be able to choose that team - as long as there are enough players to finish a given round.  I think that was the intended spirit of the rule.  With that intended spirit,  I don't think Todd would be being contradicting himself at all if he allowed your pick.  However, I'm just a passenger and am not driving the bus.

*IF THE BURGHERS HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO COVER THE REST OF THE ROUND- yeah- you can still use them..

Todd, you are doing a great job in a tough situation.  Keep Smiling!

Next seasons rule could be like - "no team can be selected to start a round or used as a reverse unless there are enough players to complete that round" pretty simple and straightforward common sense.
