Twist Draft Discussion / Trade Talks 

Post#1 » by CellarDoor » Thu May 7, 2009 5:39 pm

Taken from a previous discussion:

For those of you who aren't entirely sure what we're talking about I'll give you a quick overview.

Last time we had 16 teams, the 16 playoff teams from last year. Each participant had a team and was able to protect one franchise player to begin their team with. For instance: if you picked Cleveland you would protect Eric Snow (kidding). Now, i'm not sure how thrilled with this idea I am since it gives some teams (Cleveland, LA, San Antonio) huge advantages to begin with, but we can discuss this.

From there the draft began, the "twist" is that you can only draft people taken in the year we are drafting or earlier. Since we need 15 man rosters, I would suggest going back to 93-94 for our first draft. Using RNGs, we determined each year's draft order, but each person could only have a finite number of #1 and #2 picks. Trades were allowed, but had to be approved and could not be finalized until all pieces of the trade had been drafted. (in other words, you couldn't trade your first pick in the 96 draft for someone's 1st pick in the 00 draft until both pieces had already been picked).

the idea was to have the 8 teams in a conference have a bracket-style tournament with the other conference voting on their match-ups. What I'd like to do this time is, as Gremz mentioned, have a judging panel of some sort. I wouldn't mind having an open voting process for all RGM posters, but if I were you guys, I'd prefer to have a few good members judging. The problem may simply be participation in that instance though and trying to find 3 judges (2+ me I guess) who will commit to doing it as well as 16 active participants.

Like I said, I'm not sure I have time to go through the trade negotiations and draft portion of a game GM a Team to conclude though as a lot of your most active posters have a lot of balls in the air right now.


Another poster suggested starting a year or 2 later and having a FFA, but i'm not sure I like that as a few people would be getting their high picks in the draft as leftovers. Instead, I'm thinking that we perhaps restrict it to 12 teams and draft back to 97 and run 12 man rosters.

To begin with, i'm going to say 12 teams, if someone can come up with something equitable that involves more teams, then i'm open to it as I really don't like having 3 team finals. We'll roll with 3 judges, one of which will be me.

Glancing over the original thread I see BBHoffa, Gremz, Jud's, BlackIce, MJallday, and SS interested. I'm going to keep spots open for Vintage and Cash until I hear from them at least, which brings it to 8 people, meaning I need at least 6 more (counting 2 judges) and as many as 10 more. Post your interest officially here please ((that includes those I've listed)

Hmmmmm, I always think I want to join these kind of games, but fizzle out.

I'd love to be CellarDoor's right hand bit..... assistant? If he will have me that is.

Lets me be a part of the game, at my leisure. :)

Never been to hoopshype. Someone else brought it over here. So...credit to UNIT. Editing the initial thread to put poster names in there.

Mascot is correct.

As to when we'll start...if Jud's is playing , then I believe he's got a vacation the upcoming week, so we would be starting the drafting the week of the 18th.

I'd love to do this, but will be gone the latter half of June. Any chance this thing gets done before then?

Hmm... I looked up the previous twist draft topics and saw that the 1st pick was made on 08 Aug 2008 & the last on 17 Sep 2008, but this one's shorter, so it could be OK.
