CP Redrafts 30 Teams (NYR, DAL, CGY, CAR) Rules in post 1

[Coach]

Yeah I'm surprised at how slowly this is going as well. When we did drafts for random things (movies, girls, heroes/villains) things seemed to go much quicker, at least at first. For a forum based around hockey I didn't think this would take more than a few days.

We could reduce the draft time to a 6 hours instead of the whole day. We could also do something like skip a person and when its their turn to draft again they can select however many outstanding picks they have, but only on their turn.

That'd make sense if this was a competitive thing like a hockey pool, but it defeats the intention of this if a team is weakened from the process itself.

When Cheerio started this thing the teams got filled up pretty quickly, so people should know to check this as much as they can.

I say if we haven't heard from Alan21 by 6:00mst we give his team to either PegCity or kipperfan, then we give Alan21 PegCity or kipperfans team. I mean it doesn't really matter which team you have so I don't think he'd be too upset. If we don't hear from any of them maybe someone pull a David Braley and own 2 teams?

I'm hoping with the Langkow news that people will come here to read about that and then be like Oh Ya the CP draft is going on.

[kipperfan]

I'm always ready to jump in (and pick fast!) if you guys need me.

[MrMike]

Well I agree with the 6pm time limit, then give it to kipperfan who seems to be just giddy to get a team.

I'm sure once we get past this pick, just like last night, that about 5 or 6 should follow suit quickly.

I'm assuming you don't need me to make your pick for you now, correct?

Will do - I know who I want.

[keenan87]

I dont want to be a debbie downer but we need to get this thing rolling and im willing to help if needed at all. 3 days and less than 20 picks is a little embarassing. Half my players will be retired at this rate.

An idea I had was texting the person of their pick? (Of course one person will text so you wont get 40 messages).

[PlayfulGenius]

I say we let KipperFan pick now... Alan21 should have sent a list to me... he didn't... he can have another team that inevitably becomes available if he comes back.

Completely Agree

[MrMike]

I agree as well. he's had almost 18 hours. He should have been checking.

Go ahead and pick Kipperfan

[Poe969]

He should have been checking or last time he was on, he should have pm'ed a list of picks to someone

[Hockey]

Ya kipper go for it, it's his loss for not being here.


I'll be ready with my pick too.

[kipperfan]

Done!

[MrMike]

Next!!!!

[PlayfulGenius]

Hockey... where did you go

[Poe969]

new rule should be, if you're not around for your pick, you get a player like Gomez or Redden

[Hockey]

Boom we are on a roll.

I was making my pick while driving in my car, so sorry it took a little longer
