TPG SPRING DRAFT

[toxinatoR]

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. :\

Idk how many times I have to say it.. Most teams last draft needed ringers with a 10 man roster... So we have to base this draft off the previous ones.. If you were not picked for the draft it does suck.. But like any draft, not everyone gets drafted and the better players always get picked first.. It is not a persons RIGHT to play in the draft, it is a privilege.. We were considering not even having it after this season to be honest.. The weekend tournament may work if it weren't spring a lot of people want to be out of the house on weekends. Last draft my team lost in the first round then worked our way back to the lower finals (which we should have won since kalle cheated.) So most the roster saw some playing time.. If you look at the dates there are lots of matches for the losers bracket.. I am willing to change things to make the draft work better as I see fit.. So ideas are always welcome.. I feel having a LIST of ringers would be good to get players in matches.. Captains would be scrambling around trying to get ahold of of players rather than asking some lazy bum who neglected to even sign up.. I like the idea of picking YOUR 3 backups tho.. As a captain you try to pick people you know / can rely on.. whereas if we limited the teams to 7 people youre not sure what you can get out of the ringers list..

kalle promised us he wasn't cheating. pretty sure he wasn't

Tox is right. The past two drafts I was picked in one of the later rounds and I still ended up playing every match I was available for. If a greater number of people signed up (110+) then maybe it would be worth while to talk about having an upper and lower draft where 6-8 upper captains picked teams and then the remaining players would have their own draft the next day. But this isn't the case and so far there are something like 84 people including captains signed up. So there are roughly 12 people in the "ringer pool" which is fine. Not everyone from the teams are always going to be available and not all the ringers are always going to be available. If people have a problem with the format then they don't have to sign up. Late.
