- Preds

Re: Rookie Draft
 

BTW, if Preds doesn't have your e-mail, can you get it to him, so he can do the random draft!

Re: Rookie Draft
 

I'd like them all posted here in this thread if possible... I don't want to go searching for em. Thanks.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

The poll here is flawed... Matt's idea is not represented (I'd lean that way FWIW).

Re: Rookie Draft
 

spains@compmgt.com

Also, adjusted the poll. Forgot his way. No way was I going to type that whole thing in there....

Re: Rookie Draft
 

4 options? This is going to be a cluster ####.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

So is the draft order based on the random drawing, or does the random drawing determine who gets to select their spot first?

burtpaulson2002@yahoo.com

Re: Rookie Draft
 

from my understanding the random drawing is to allow that owner where they want to draw. The first person drawn may not see the value of #1 pick (the fool) and choose to go elsewhere....

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Yah, I should have read the final few posting in the original thread.

BTW, the first couple picks are no-brainers, it's the mid-picks where things could start changing and be advatageous to take a lower pick. It all depends on which method we choose.

So stating that, we should wait on making the random drawing until this vote is finalized, which from the looks of the first 3 votes, may take a few tries (don't say it Preds.....)

EDIT: you might not be able to make it out, but there are underscores between each word.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

matthew.marshall@drexel.edu

I honestly don't care but after all the time I am going with my convulted draft order.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Why do we have 6 email addy's but only 5 votes. Who has skipped their vote? (don't make me check out the Admin Panel dang you!)

Re: Rookie Draft
 

I voted. So far it is 0-1-2-2. The cluster is on!

Re: Rookie Draft
 

there are six votes, but actually I hadn't voted yet. Being the one who set the poll, I didn't want to vote immediately.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

If this ends in a draw can we kill the rookie draft concept and just throw them into the vet auction? ;)

Re: Rookie Draft
 

jackb@sympatico.ca

I have voted 1-12 and then 12-1 every round after. I am also fine with Matt's solution (thinking it over don't know that we have to go such extremes as Matt's since the declining $$ for each successive pick will also have a bit of an evening effect).

Re: Rookie Draft
 

There are 6 votes now because Keepers was the last in... (still need the email addy posted). State your mind Rami.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

0-2-2-2. :smoke

Re: Rookie Draft
 

bump ;)

Re: Rookie Draft
 

what is matt's way?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

No. I'll come up with a 5th alternative, and we can revote. We'll each get two votes to vote for our top two proposals we are in favor of, and one negative vote which we can use to take a vote away from the alternative we like the least. If it is still tied, the votes will remain the same, but we'll change our second affirmitive vote to only count as a half vote. Also, the negative votes cast will not count as a full negative vote, they will count as pi/100. That should eliminate all ties.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

this hurts just reading it...:smash:

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Start with post # 77 on page 4 of this thread http://predsff.com/forums/showthread...0019#post30019 and work your way down, though post 77 is a good rough idea of his concept.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Matt's:

After looking at Brian’s post I updated the Excel sheet to show the right values. In this case the average per team is 4313 and here are the individual values (assuming Team 1 has pick 1.1 and Team 12 has pick 1.12) which are shockingly well distributed around that average:

Team 1: 4370
Team 2: 4250
Team 3: 4346
Team 4: 4255
Team 5: 4210
Team 6: 4295
Team 7: 4320
Team 8: 4340
Team 9: 4310
Team 10: 4332
Team 11: 4350
Team 12: 4380

Using the chart (for what it is worth to even each teams value) here is each teams picks:

Team 1: 4370

Re: Rookie Draft
 

DAMN YOU... I just spit out my Pepsi again!

Re: Rookie Draft
 

no Diet Pepsi today?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

shhh... I got roasted for the Diet Pepsi thing last week... thought I'd keep it on the down low today ;)

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Ahh, it worked.


Was it diet again, Mike? Nevermind.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Re: Rookie Draft
 

I second this proposal :box

pmullins@tisbook.com

You'll get my vote here in a lil' while....anybody got a coin?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

a four-sided coin?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

standard serpentine won the coin toss. it really doesn't matter to me as i'm still opposed to the whole idea anyway....but at least the serpentine vote isn't so lonely any more...it's kinda like voting for ross perot, jesse jackson or reggie jackson for president

Re: Rookie Draft
 

i seeded them from top to bottom so serpentine got the 1 seed and faced off against the 4th seeded Matt's way. the championship consisted of 1 vs 3

Re: Rookie Draft
 

If it saves time to move my vote to another method please feel free to do that (currently I am support my highly convulted order).

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Damn-it... I need to clean up another spill!

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Wanna know what's crazy Matt... I actually back and support your convuluted insane method over the other concepts!

Oh yea, I haven't mentioned this for a while... but this whole ROOKIE DRAFT BS SUCKS :furious

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Hang on a sec, I'll dig out my D&D 4 sided die.

I see I am a little slow here yet again. It was still funny (I thought).

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Reggie Jackson went to my high school.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

someone actually HAS D&D 4-sided dice?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

friggen GEEK

Re: Rookie Draft
 

any way to contact those gents who haven't voted?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

What, like I'm the only one who brings them to work so I can run statistical analyses with them over lunch?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

*crickets*

you're scaring me dude

Re: Rookie Draft
 

me --> :bow GOD Smilie <-- Reggie Jackson

Cheltenham Township HS, eh?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

You know what I like to do? I like to roll three at once, add them up, and then see how many more rolls it takes to beat that record. You wanna see the spreadsheets I put together on that?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

What happens when you roll three 4's?

Re: Rookie Draft
 

<blink blink> <- stunned stare...
Dude, there are some things you just shouldn't admit to anyone outside your therapist...:nono:

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Need another towel lol

Re: Rookie Draft
 

This sounds like one of those what would we do without sports commercials on ESPN.

BTW, those multi-sided dice (die) were great for creating sports game before the advent of Nintendo and Sega. And yes we used to keep track of the stats and trade players and all kinds of stuff.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

man i need to talk to my boss and schedule some more message board time...


...been too busy today.

Good stuff fellas.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

YAHTZEE!!! Oh, wait...

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Now you're just being silly.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Please tell me you looked that up and did not just know it off the top of your head.

CHS Panthers, baby!!

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Three votes left.

If no majority win (which it is doubtful), then I will eliminate the lowest one (or two if there is a tie) and we'll vote on yet ANOTHER thread....

Re: Rookie Draft
 

I am heading home for the night so if it makes a difference feel free to move my vote to make a majority (especially if it saves us from having to have another vote!!).

Re: Rookie Draft
 

I don't have authority to do that, but I'll make sure Mike knows. I leave at 5 and won't be on until tomorrow morning...

Re: Rookie Draft
 

When it comes to the Yankees and Dodgers (hell baseball in general), I know more than you'd care to hear. But to answer your question, yes, I knew that off the top of my head (didn't know the mascot though). I wrote a report on Reggie Jackson in high school...I can almost recite it from memory along with Reggie's career stats year-by-year in the majors.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Currently the vote is 1-4-2-2.

It took me on 9 tries with my four 4-sided die to roll a one, four and two two's in order.

Re: Rookie Draft
 

Rami, I'd like to congratulate you for being the 1000th post in the Rules Forum. Well Done. For that you get this...

I HATE THE IDEA OF A ROOKIE DRAFT THIS YEAR :furious

Re: Rookie Draft
 

FYI, I'm going out tonight with the wife and won't be online till late as well (friggen theatre... the things a guy has to do to be allowed his "hobby").
