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, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 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.

pilldoc Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Draft Order for 2023-24 Season Note: Since FD has declined to participate this coming year Brewin Flames will pick #16 in each round. (per our guidelines from last year) This will be updated in Yahoo Shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 @pilldoc and other managers, I'd ask if you'd like to have the draft time at 8pm EST rather than 7pm. On my side it would fit better but I'll follow the majority if you prefer to stick at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 To All, I finally got around to updating the Draft Date for Sweet 16 League. I was hoping to work around the NAHANA Draft for the majority of us who also participate in that league. Since that League has a potential Draft Date of Thurs. Oct. 5th which has not been totally finalized I went ahead an made a decision for the Sweet 16 Draft. It is next Monday, Oct. 2nd at 7 PM EST. I have a request to move it to 8:00 PM EST. Are there any objections? Please respond as soon as you get a chance. We need to finalize this sooner than later. thanks ~Doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'm ok with whichever. Moving it to 8pm EST would help in the sense that the craziness in our house should have died down by then, but I can make 7pm EST work too. I will just have to be "mean mommy" while the draft is going on and people will need to leave me alone! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgarnett Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Monday the 2nd should be fine but if possible I would prefer 8 PM EST just so that it's 7PM my time but if Majority chooses 7 EST than that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 I am starting to see a trend around 8:00 PM EST ......I will give it another day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Both 7 PM and 8 PM on October 2nd will work for me. Thanks. Edited September 25, 2023 by Mad Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 It's not likely,, but possible, that I can make 8:00 work. The whole week is terrible for me so I'll just have to autodraft. It's going to be the same every year, the first week of October, so I need to reconsider fantasy hockey for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am making the dust settle. Everyone is eating their suppers, I ate early, dogs have been run out, trash is ready to go for pickup tomorrow (hubby takes care of the bulk of it in the evening), and everyone is ready to let mommy draft her championship team....or else...
