Each coach will draft 8 players to mimic a playoff rotation.
We'll try something different and operate with a time schedule for our draft. When the coaches and draft order are finalized, each pick on the draft list will have a scheduled window of time in which you make your pick (probably one or two hours, depending on the number of participants). You'll know from the beginning of the draft exactly when each of your picks are scheduled to be made. If you can't be there at that appointed hour, perhaps you can IM a list to someone as your pick approaches.
If you miss your window, you don't lose your pick but other coaches can pick as their windows open. You may come in at any time after your window has expired and make your pick, but of course other coaches may have chosen players and they will not be available to you.
The draft order and tournament brackets will be independently randomized.
We will use a modified snake draft as follows.
Round 1: a,b,c,d,e
Round 2: e,d,c,b,a
Round 3: e,d,c,b,a
Round 4: e,d,c,b,a
Round 5: a,b,c,d,e
Round 6: e,d,c,b,a
Round 7: a,b,c,d,e
Round 8: e,d,c,b,a
Games will be judged by a poll, likely running in this forum for 24 hours.
This is the player pool. It is generally players who played a fairly significant time with the Pistons at or near their peak form, as well as players who attended college in the state of Michigan. They generally played/peaked in the 1980's or later. I also made a few exceptions for current Pistons and legacy players to add interest. All players will be at their NBA/ABA peak. The positions are just a guide, you may choose as many or as few of each position as you like.
