pilldoc Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 @yave1964@ruxpin@J0e Th0rnton@TropicalFruitGirl26@hf101@Hale@Mad Dog@Ladyneat@bbgarnett@Jagged Ice@molonosoff@pilldoc@Math@Brewin Flames Would like to officially announce @Brewin Flames as our 16th GM with FD deciding not to return this year. Welcome to the nut house! I will be listing the draft order shortly. Tentatively the Draft is Saturday, Sept. 30th at 7:00 PM EST. This is NOT set in stone. Just had to get something on the books. Please let me know if this date works for the majority of folks. If not I have to wait until Rad sets the date for the NAHANA Draft.

As I mentioned earlier, Saturdays generally would not be my first choice, but I do understand that the draft day will be influenced by NAHANA draft date as well as the desire of the majority. So no need to adjust the schedule based purely on my preference. If I have to, I will autodraft... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 As a recap from last years Final Standings .... Congrats to @yave1964 for once again taking home the GOLD @J0e Th0rnton takes home the Silver @bbgarnett takes home the Bronze Moving forward for this year's draft I am trying to keep it very similar to the NHL Draft using a Weighted Ball Lottery. Also as we discussed the draft order would be inverse of final standings up to 8th place. To prevent teams from tanking the the draft would then start at #9 finish overall with a weight ball system. Still giving those non-playoff GM's a shot at the #1 overall pick. From NHL Tankathon I used the following odds of drawing the draft order .... using final standings and calculated out how many balls for each draft position which gave the following: Draft Guidelines: (Starting 2023-24)Starting for the 23-24 season, we will be implementing a STRAIGHT DRAFT. Teams who make the playoffs will pick 9-16 with the winner of the league championship picking 16. Runner up, 15, 3rd place 14th, and so on. Teams who missed the playoffs will pick 1-8 with this twist to maintain competitive integrity: Teams will be PLAYING for the first overall pick by winning their consolation bracket. The overall winner of the consolation bracket gets the first overall, runner up 2nd overall, 3rd place 3rd overall, etc. This should keep GM's competitive and interested giving non playoff teams a goal for the next coming season. Should a GM bow out, and to keep things fair for GM's who played, will return, and put in their time maintaining their team, all GM's move up a spot in the draft to fill in for the GM who leaves. Any new GM's entering the league fresh will pick at the bottom of any given round. I.E., 4th place GM decides to leave, so everyone from 5th on down is slotted up one spot and the new incoming GM picks 16th. If two GM's decide not to return, then everyone moves up two spots in the draft, new GM's pick 15th and 16th, etc. Again, STRAIGHT DRAFT, so that gives more weight to the top picks, which in turn give more incentive for non playoff teams to play hard and grab that first overall pick, as they will be picking first for every round after that as well.
