Best 18

[old55 23,687]

Probably unfair to you to have to PM a few picks with back ups, as you could easily miss out on something.

I think waiting over the weekend is reasonable, personally.

PMing picks is only something that should be done a couple of picks in advance.

Otherwise you're short-changing yourself by not having all the information at hand.

You might assume certain players are gone that could change your strategy.

Having said that, I have a bit of work on today, so I'm going to PM my 2 picks to old55 now.

PM me a pick for each day you wont be around and one extra in case your selection gets taken - that will cover the 24 hour rule.

I'm gonna be interstate on business from Sunday night and will have less access next week myself.

Right oh - I'll leave it until a bit later just in case the master kicks us off again

No worries old. If a decision could be made before the next pick that would be helpful for planning going ahead

Fair enough - let's go with you can make your wild card pick at any time

Gives more flexibility.

Just had an idea re a scoring system at the end of the Draft.

Once all 10 teams are fully selected, we're given a day to sort through our 18 players for a final team sheet submission.

Each team manager would then analyze the other nine teams (you can't vote for your own) and then rate them using a 5-4-3-2-1 style voting system and then submit to old55 in a private ballot. Or even a top 9 so all teams receive votes.

It would be a fun way to analyze each side, providing a finite result to the whole exercise.

What do you think?

Nope.

I've focused on building a team, not selecting the best rated players.

I've also chosen based on how I expect them to perform in 2011 & the future, rather than on previous performances.

There's unfortunately no decent way of judging this.

Edit: think I misunderstood.

Thought you meant individual players.

I'm happy with that system. Why not?

Sorry to clarify I meant the team. We would look at each others' teams and rate them based on an assault on the 2011 flag.

Just another fun add-on to be able to analyze and rate...

Edit: I have edited my original post so as to clarify
