Okay, here's an update:

Supplemental "Draft" for Free Agents

Although we've done 6 rounds of drafting and now have our starting 6, I'd also like to do a supplemental "draft", where each team can select up to 3 additional players to add depth to the rosters. Grit, toughness, leadership -- whatever. These picks won't be used for "judging" purposes, so feel free to pick your favorite and/or most obscure Flame still available.

Instead of subjecting everyone to an additional 3 rounds of drafting, I thought we would do this "first come, first served" like when free agent season opens. I propose the rules as follows:

The supplemental draft / free agent season starts on a specific time/day, for instance, this Monday at 12:00 noon CP time. At this time, the first person to "sign" the free agent gets that player.

You are only allowed to sign one free agent at a time. After the Monday/12:00 signing period opens and people make their picks, there will be a 1/3/5/8/24? hour waiting period before the next round of signings take place. The next signing period will be announced, at which time the process starts all over again at the new date and time (we'll do this twice so that you end up with 3 free agents).

If you pick a player and someone else has already signed them, you have to make a new post and sign another player (don't just edit your old post because that buggers up the order, even if there is a timestamp). The order of posts on the thread will determine who posted first.

If you make your pick early (i.e. at 11:59), the pick is disqualified and the person is subject to a 10 minute penalty before they can sign another player.

Any thoughts? suggestions? We'll have to agree what time/day to start, and how long the waiting period will be between picks (1 hour if you want to get it all done in a day, 24 hours if you want to spread it out over 3 days).

Also, if you don't want to participate in the supplemental "draft", you don't have to. Or if you don't feel compelled to sit at your computer, constantly refreshing the screen in order to be the first one to make a pick at 12:00, then make your pick whenever you feel like after 12:00. But secretly we will all be judging you because we'll have << insert obscure Flames player here >> and you won't
