Yes there is.
The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

- Start date
Yes there is.
But everyone DID submit one in your case.
Not much. He is essentially getting people to change the picks that are bound to fail by rules. If you make a mistake with criteria, it is your fault
As has everyone here. There is nothing in the rules that say that an invalid pick counts as not submitted. Infact there is no need for saying that a player will be blocked if the pick is invalid, if that is the case. The current rules directly contradict what you are saying
They're not the same. You can change your pick in round 1 providing its before the last pick/24 hrs but you can't do that in round 2 and 3. Once you've sent your PM it's in.
You tried to change it in round 3 after you sent your PM.
I think its fair enough to allow a bit of leeway here, at the mods discretion. You were allowed it in that round if you'd got your pick resent in time.
Wrong. Read the op again
Anyway lads, pick being invalid or not isn't the issue here. It is that all other have sent in the pick so no more changes could be made.
You are mistaken. I don't think that is how it is, otherwise Aldo would have never even posted that screenshot showing my pick being 2 minutes after Edgar's. What was the point of doing that if the change was not allowed anyway? Infact I have changed picks before in round 3 too

Those rules were changed way back.. mid way after consultations with everyone. Ask Aldo
Hopefully.. banned players round tonight 
Chester and MJJ woudl really be scrapping the barrel now for right backs 
. May be Xavier would not be a sheep after all
. May be Xavier would not be a sheep after all It's not a big deal anyway, two more attempts to correct it. It was way harsher to follow the rules strictly when Crappy missed it by 2 minutes in his 3rd attempt.
Right, forget it, we're underway again anyway.
Can't believe people were only picking Amoros now!
Chuffed with landing my man (men)
Wow yes!
A bit surprised at the lack of carnage in that round with not all that many quality options remaining
Oh and yes, finished my German team almost perfectly the way I wanted to.
Ffs chelster
@Chesterlestreet
@Snipers Breath
@MJJ
Remember you have to pick from the same club which you considered for the 1st attempt, and obviously the player's career should have never overlapped with the one that passed.

Chester has lost it. Started off well but on a slippery slope now.
No mate, there is another rule in OP which states non criteria match picks is a block. Sniper still has 2 rounds to make good!
Yeah, I'm really waiting for the reveal. I was thinking of a 60% chance of one of my players getting blocked!
He's actually an excellent mod, much better than me without a doubt. He ran that all time one player per nation draft brilliantly.
I'd love to take part in a sheep draft he mods, he adds a lot of colour and drama to everything and this job is perfect for someone like that!
I'm already booking my place in the next draft, was gutted to miss out on the last couple.
Remember that @antohan

Deadline for Pick 2 : 1400 UK time, 21 Feb or when I get the last pick.
The nations draft was immense. I miss it ever so. Taught me a lot about footballers from days past and from other leagues I simply hadn't checked before.
We'll be about due another "Current players" one soon, last one of those outside of the youth draft was a few years ago.

I'm almost worried that no one has picked my 2nd pick in all of the previous rounds. I think he's a solid performer and better than plenty of others that have gone before him so will be interested to hear a bit of feedback after the reveal.
We need to do an auction based one. With hyper active players on here, a good one can be done. I think they can be even more fun than sheep
Yeah it is pretty fun, even though I hate it because I overspend early on always.
@Polaroid wants to do that one, so I guess he will tell us about it more soon. I'm in like always!
Yeah, we'll see. It ain't over yet.
That would be fun. Imagine the muppetry. Cal would blow his whole budget on landing Cristiano
How do auction drafts work ?
It is similar to this one, except just "picking" your player, you have to bid a certain amount out of the budget you are given.
It can be a blind auction or an open auction depending on the mod.
Yes
. That's a classic auction tactic. If you know someone will buy a layer no matter what, take the risk and keep pushing the price up to get him to blow his entire budget on a single playerCan't wait for this last round. Everyone going all out to land the final piece of their jigsaw.
I played a football game online once which had a computerized one.. generally know of two -
- Mod lists let's say 20-30 players a round, you just submit a single one time bid on a player, get your player if it is the highest if not try again in round 2
- other one which works like classic auction.. players go on sale one by one.. people can bid as they want
I did think about Amoros but the cover full-backs (who hadn't already been picked/blocked) weren't great.
Delighted to get my boys first-time though.

So you could go for less fancied players in the first couple of rounds low balling their "value" to save money for the later rounds ?
