Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

@Ecstatic

Sorry I will not be taking the spot after all or in any drafts. I’ve decided to take a permanent break from the caf, have too many other things to prioritize at the moment.

Genuinely, the drafts were my favourite part of the forum and the knowledge in here has helped me discover so many things about the game that I never knew. It’s been a pleasure, wish all of you great fortune in your life’s.

Guys, can we run another draft next? I have some unexpected work come up which will keep me busy for the next month or 2. Will be difficult to run the Uno draft

The newbies are always waiting the start of a draft to say "Hey! Too late to join?" :nervous:
 
**not finalized yet still tweaking**

Fatal 4-way draft

4 choices of category in which to build your team around.

Teammate - pick a player. Any of his teammates of all time are available.

Club - any players to have played for a particular club.

League - any players to have appeared in a specific league.

Manager - pick a particular manager. Any players who played for him are eligible.

Peak for all picks will be based upon their peak in the specified category. For example if you picked The Championship and selected John Terry, he would only be rated on his championship form.

There’s no limit for managers picking a certain category. Every manager will PM their choice of category, and each round will PM their choice of player. After each manager has selected a player, the results will be announced.

If multiple managers select the same player, he will be blocked for the rest of the draft, and the managers who tried to select him will make a second pick. After two failed picks, a “sheep” player will be assigned. 13 players for squad. Will add players each reinforcement round.

There will be no requirement to play sheep, so managers who fail picks won’t be at a severe disadvantage for the matches. Unless you get too many sheep to bench them all, in which case your shit outta luck.

Out for Uno draft. Something came up, so Himannv will go by himself.
 
Overlaps quite a bit, right? Wouldn't club be a subset of the League?

Can tweak it as needed. Just put some quick thoughts together. There’s no rush as there’s other drafts that would be done prior to this one I think.

Was contemplating doing something a little different and changing the decade/club for strictly tournament peaks. (World Cup or Euro’s)

Was also considering having 4 managers per category, but only each individual manager would know what category they were in, and not any of the other managers. Keep them guessing a little bit on a few rounds.

how was the last time?
2 managers
5 year period
nation
club

think it was something like that....you can pretty much put anything as a category.

Yeah think it was something like that. May keep the same categories then, and just tweak the drafting. All by PM and each manager only knows his own category, so won’t know who he’s up against initially.

Also considered doing some little events along the way, but need to iron those out a lot before anything is finalized.

out of this one. Let me know if you need help running it mate.
 
3 spots are left in the UNO draft, any takers?
 
Did did a lookup on draft timings...

auction draft started 4th feb and ended 9th feb. - 5 days
.
stars reserves started 2nd Jan and ended 14th Jan - 12 days
.
Monopoly started Jun 20 and ended July 7th - 17 days.
Uno started Mar 10th and still ongoing on Mar 27th... - 17 days and counting...


Auction is the fastest draft type and game based drafts are the slowest. Snake seems to average 11-13 days.
 
Is the next draft being run by @Skizzo

I like the idea of a 4 way draft

Or are we doing the Skype draft :)

Auction and Sheep drafts i feel move the fastest
