darin3 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 I honestly have no idea why the devy/rookie draft was set up to be non-serpentine. This needs to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial was also 5 rounds longer then this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell if we're going to change anything change how the draft order is generated. I despise giving the "worst" team the first pick. Very rarely is the team with the worst record actually the "worst" team, and quite frequently they were simply the ones that did the best job tanking for it.

Tford Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I sent you an email on this but I think that it was handled correctly. Rookie draft and vet draft were serpentine because no standings to base things on. Every subsequent draft should be non-serpentine because you have standings to base things on. Might have been written differently in the rules but I think we executed it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Something fun perhaps? How about if an owner's devy players wins the Heisman trophy, they receive an extra $5 in AFL-Devy bucks the following reload? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something fun with a minor reward that isn't league-changing. I'd like to see a fourth devy spot added but with the stipulation but it has to be used on a defensive player. As it stands, I'm never going to use a devy spot on defense unless we increase the number of devy spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't increase our tracking too much and would expand our universe so to speak. We'll expand the total number of DTS spots as a result, yes?

flemingd Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Love the extra devy spot for IDP. That's very tricky stuff and I agree not worth burning devy spots in when they are so limited/valuable. Hate cash for Heisman. I do not favor anything giving a competitive advantage not based on prior season results. Some leagues have/had a terrible rule that all members of the winner's conference/division got extra cash - just awful. We voted it out on almost all of my leagues (one I didn't know it was still there and will crusade to change next year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cash would be a result of prior season results, just in college Quit being such a buzzkill...... I hated the extra cash for all members of the "winning" conference thing as well, though.

terminader55 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm down for increasing DTS Spots to whatever the consensus vote is and the Heisman cash idea sounds fun to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-bone65 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I guess what I am saying is, if you don't have any devy players currently your dts would be limited to 10 instead of 13. Should be your choice to have devy or not and if you decide not you shouldn't be penalized by shortness of dts size. Plus I have about 20 or so now so increase it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
