30th pick in the draft
Sort of like Compensatory picks like NFL does with teams that lose FAs that they drafted?Originally Posted by General

We could do something with FA or something else; I just don't think we should **** with the draft.
"Players can't get better over time." -GiantsFanatic
Can't do it in FA because of the aspect that certain players will not deal with certain teams no matter what..... and it is arbitrary... not just because they are a poorly performing team or whatever..... I have plenty that never want to talk with my teams, and my teams are always contenders (it seems), I don't have huge turnovers of players, etc..... You can't give discounts on FA either....
While this is a bit different, I don't think the intent is to turn the league upside down.... it's not something I would have thought of to implement, I do believe that if the proper checks and balances are put into the system, it can add a nice incentive/spark without really killing the quiet players or lower teams....

Please don't misunderstand: I feel comfortable in the forum and participating in most discussions, though I haven't posted much. (Mostly for outside reasons.) For this topic, however, I didn't feel up until the point of my previous post that I had anything that was really worthy to post other than "I really don't know what to say about this". For me, it is like that with most topics.Originally Posted by DiamondDave
My position remains tentatively the same, I think. It may be worth trying for a year at least.
Edited to add: I'm sorry. I'm not trying to turn every post into something about me. Though as Crazy alluded to earlier, I am the type of owner that he is trying to get to become more active.

I took over this league from Browntown and that other guy a couple of years ago to save the league, and make it stand out from any other league on the forums. Sometimes that means taking risks and doing something without knowing how it will work. If it does work, then this could be really good for the league. If it doesn't, well I don't think much harm comes from trying.Originally Posted by brak60

Even though I'm opposed to changing the draft whatsoever, I wouldn't mind taking Dave's idea more extreme. We would need to make it exponential (well sort of, it isnt perfect) though. Say the last place/first pick team gets 600 points. The second pick team gets 550, third gets 500. Fourth, 460, fifth, 410, sixth, 370...15th, 100, 16th, 75....last, 0. Something like that. This way, the guy with the last pick, can move up at a realistical most 5-7 slots if he clearly out does those ahead of him. The middle teams can move into the top 10, but not the top 5-7. The top 5 can rarely shuffle around but can change 1 or 2 slots. I can make a chart more detailed and include all the teams and slots, but I just want to see if this is something worth doing first.

I had planned on starting FA on Thursday, but we aren't starting it until this situation is resolved...so it will be moved back indefinitely.Originally Posted by albbla2000mu
Right... I think that is where the thought into the points buffer or movement limitations come in... while I would love to be able to go from the 28th pick or so to the first, it is not something that is fair.... but if I can go from 28 to about 23, because of my activity, I don't think that is such a big deal... and if those above me are just as active, I won't be moving up anyway.....Originally Posted by Raphictor
