So, now that we have officially decided to undertake the Big Draft for a second time I figured it would be good to get a head start on the logistics of the whole thing while Season 25 plays itself out (especially since I tried a couple of new things to see how they'd work...and they didn't, so my Sharks are all but officially eliminated from the postseason already.)
The first, and most important, is finalizing the list of 32 owners who are going to participate. As of this writing, we have the following owners who have expressed interest:
1)Muville_nine
2)bruinsfan911
3)PWesseler
4)shobob
5)vdifazio
7)coachvance09
8)Urbanwarrior
9) awaskow
10) Jtpsops
11) Groth911
12) foulballz
13) soxyanks12
14) Vitamin_C
15) Glorious*
16) MrRedBull101*
17) Kevben10*
18) Jaypm98*
19) texrangers25
20) Jff*
21) delfubar
22) mbooker
*not currently members of Champions world
Next is determining the draft order for the Preliminary Draft. Based on previous discussions, I think the fairest way to do it will be to use draftpicklottery.com's "Custom" option to assign each of the 32 participants a number of ping-pong balls that will get thrown into the virtual hat and selected one by one to determine the order. Here's how I propose we determine the number of ping-pong balls everyone gets: For those who are currently in the world and choose to stay and participate, we go in reverse order of record (aka standard Amateur Draft order) with the worst record getting 32 ping-pong balls, the second worse getting 31 etc. Then, for those who decide to replace anyone who does not want to participate and leaves, they all get the same number of ping-pong balls. That number would be one less than the number received by the worst returning team...in other words, if the worst returning team got 5 ping-pong balls, all replacement owners would be entered into the lottery with 4 ping-pong balls each.
Once we have the draft oder for the Preliminary Draft set, we should be well on our way to starting up in earnest. Good luck to those still in playoff contention for S25!
The TL;DR summary of the above post is as follows: The steps listed below are what we need to do to make the Big Draft a reality, and the sooner we start these steps the sooner we can start the actual draft-
1) Find a group of 32 owners to participate
2) Determine a Preliminary Draft order
3) Collect data needed to conduct Preliminary Draft (Franchise Info etc.)
