should consider having a draft league for fun or something.. do the same sort of draft but play 8 weeks of matches (not on sundays obviously).. most of the time draft matches are more fun than the predictable invite ones these days

I agree. I think we need to shake things up a bit.

We should call it the "Mainvite Draft League"

but seriously, I think I could learn a lot from being under the wing of one of those captains, learning some next level shit.

If you want to win, make sure you pick up none other than THE JoelEdmunds and myself to be a dynamic duo for your draft team. In case you didn't know, he's kind of a big deal and has won the other two drafts. I myself have just the right amount of moxie to guide him towards YOUR victory.

On the draft roster is there a way to add another field for preferred class? I know most of us know what class each player plays but it might be helpful for some when making their picks. Maybe in place of the STEAM ID or maybe another field next to steam ID.

avenger · Post by **avenger** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:15 pm

for the last draft i think there was a post that had everyone who wanted in posted what class they wanted to play. maybe the same could be done again?

stealthlol · Post by **stealthlol** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:08 pm

If there are still people who want to play, why not add another team or more players available?

toxinatoR · Post by **toxinatoR** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:11 pm

8 teams only... More than 8 becomes a hassle to schedule + finding captains isn't that easy.. Limiting the amount of players to 9 per team.. Some teams needed more than 9 last draft some didn't need a 7th.. So

stealthlol · Post by **stealthlol** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:15 pm

Or just let everyone sign up and stop picking at a certain number (64?). Then the people who didn't get picked can be put onto a list of available ringers seeing as how half the people who signed up will never actually show up.

or just keep picking until you're out of players. why would it matter if you had 10 or 11 people on a team

toxinatoR · Post by **toxinatoR** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:48 pm

This is the 3rd draft.. you two didn't participate in the first two did you? We know how it runs. 10+ people would be too many for certain teams.. and probably not enough for others.. You have to find a happy medium. "9" Even with 9 some teams will probably need ringers every match while others will always have the same 6/7.. The first 64 people picked I may consider ill keep you posted.

I believe 9 guys are more than enough. If it were me given that it will be a 2 week tournament I'd consider doing with 8 players per team, in a total of 8 teams. The reasons of going this way is that most teams who played last drafts used the same 8, 7 and even 6, to start for their teams so tbh I don't see the point letting many people join. Moreover I believe that it would be fair let the first people who signed up rather than let late pick ups gets their spots. First come, first serve. Drafts are supposed to be fun but in the end people get more frustrated than anything else. Let's try making this 3rd "New Era" Draft as pleasant as possible for everyone. I'm with tox in this.

I feel that this makes the draft more competitive, and if a team DOES need a ringer it can only be someone on the DRAFT/ALTERNATE list.. No longer can you just pick someone up off the street to ring.

Stopped reading after first sentence. Not only did I play in the last draft, I WON IT JARED.

Now that I'm not late leaving for class - I understand what you're trying to do with the specific players. In a perfect scenario, each team should only need 7 people. If you're going to sign up, just fucking show up and play. If there is an emergency and you can't, that's different (hence the 7th man). If two people have emergencies -- the ringer list. Giving a roster 9 or 10 people just seems ridiculous when those people could go to making at least 2 more teams. This is all on paper, of course. In actuality, what you're doing by adding the excess players is necessary. I just feel bad for the more unknown people who won't get a chance to play. I know we had two players on our roster last time who were in IM/O and never saw the inside of a server for a minute. :/

toxinatoR · Post by **toxinatoR** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 5:53 am

Both of my draft teams probably used 9 out of the 10 players on the roster.. and with the tournament shortened to two weeks it gives teams less days to "reschedule" so their "starters" can make it. Yes, I do feel bad about certain players possibly not being able to participate but, it is a draft, and we all know how drafts work. Each draft ringers have been needed I would say in more than half the matches. I feel that having a "ringer" list and enforcing it so that you can only use ringers from that list will give those players a better chance to play.. Rather than just roster sitting.

Well, look at it this way. Some teams will get eliminated after two matches (and so on) and all players on that team will be ineligible to play for the rest of the season. Players like ourselves will be eligible to play on every match day. Doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to play but, it kind of made me feel better about myself.

seaNsk · Post by **seaNsk** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 6:40 am

If you're going to have a ringer list make each team only have 7 people... with 9 it just seems silly to have a ringer list because everyone will go to their bench first, and then the ringer list is pointless.

Sucks that people aren't going to play when they want to. Seems like a dumb way of doing things. Shit, just tell everyone to get online on a Saturday/Sunday. Run it all in one day and be done with it. Matches take 45-50 mins, not 4 hours. You could easily run it in 1 to 2 Weekend days (Sunday and the following Sunday, or something). Sundays are match days anyways, and if people can't make it - then it was probably someone who couldn't make the regular tpg season either. I'd rather accommodate people who have played all season than make it an unlimited list and give people who show up once a month the chance to play. Because cool kids people who may not be the best at the game will be fucked in the end. :\

That's the point I was getting at. Alex Kirk's brilliant logic of not showing up and making anyone else pick people. I mean, if Alex picked the team, it would have lost both its matches in only one match. We at Logic Land salute you, Jules Winnfield!
