Sorry for being a bit out of touch. I’ll start paying attention here. I’m in, just wanted to reitterate that we can use by draft slot if it’s preferred over the Labor Day slot on the posted one.
If I can get an executive decision from the commish I’ll post it.
Also, not sure how you posted the draft order above, but I was 90% sure I had the #1 draft slot. It seems to me that we had some staggered system for assigning draft order which gave the consolation bracket something to play for. Does anyone have documentation of that?
Email me if anything comes up regarding the draft slot I have.
I prefer the later draft slot, but I can make Aug. 24 if more folks like that one.
Omni, I think the list you are looking at is for how we finished last year, not draft order. (But if folks want to give me the first pick this year, I promise not to complain.)
Ah, here’s the thread. Thought I’d been (sniff) forgotten.
I may miss the draft too, but we’ll see.
IIRC, I had the best record last year, but lost in the championship; don’t know if that’s first or second place for draft purposes.
I’m pretty sure we agreed that draft choices would be kept 3 rounds lower; thus my steal of Moose Muhammed in the 10th last year will be a merely-solid keeper at round 7 this year.
And we probably need a ruling about keeper in year three – will he count as a round 4 keeper in 2006?
If you check last year’s thread (since the old league page is no longer up) you will see that the debate on keeper penalty was betweein (+1) and (+2). I am very certain that the final decision was (+2), as indicatd by my post-draft explanation:
Yes – the intent of the penalty is clearly to limit the number of years one can benefit from a single good find. The enalty gets steeper each year, and I believe we also set a cap of at most 2 years for a player to be kept, (Muhammed would cost an 8 this year, a 6 the next year, but could not be kept for a 4 in year 4.)
I could have sworn I was fifth… I remember there being a convoluted scenario in the last week that meant I could have made the playoffs that almost came true. But my memory is not what it once was, and maybe I’m remembering another league or year.
Or do you mean that you won the consolation playoff bracket?
I believe there was no consolation playoff bracket. Yahoo does not allow for that structure. I think there was talk of manually computing a playoff bracket for the regular season 5th-8th place finishers, but I don’t remember that happening.
