Guest Report post Posted May 22, 2008 I would like makeup picks to be able to be made whenever that person gets back from whatever they're doing. I'm not sure I like the tail-end of the draft idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 That's how a real draft would work. Remember when the Vikings didn't get their pick in a few years ago and the next couple teams quickly made their selections? That's kinda neat. It's the way we've done the music draft as well.

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 It's the way the NBA one is going to, a couple people have waited too long and the time limit passed, so the next person goes, but whenever the skipped person gets back on-line they have free reign to pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Okay, I have slightly altered the rules. Also, I think that we should send a PM to the next person in line (a la the desert island album thread) once we have made our selections. I am going to randomly select the choosing order (unless a mod would feel more comfortable doing this). Let me know and we can get this thing started.

I am going to randomly select the choosing order (unless a mod would feel more comfortable doing this). Let me know and we can get this thing started. You should be able to find a random number generator on line to make the order. Sign ups gives you the number, scramble them and that's the draft order. Also on the voting are we looking at workrate, promo abilities, or a combination of both? Or our own choice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Christ, with so many people picking.. Your second pick could realistically be number 18 in your top 30 list if you created it all by yourself. Person number one is going to have a great advantage over person seventeen here. Edit: I'm not being a smartass.. and I know there's nothing that can be done about it, i'm just saying.

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Wait... aren't we doing serpentine draft rules? IE 1 to 17, and then second round goes 17 up to 1. Also there's enough out there that realistically you can get a really good roster if you plan it out well. I mean this is dealing with the hundred something plus HISTORY of professional wrestling.

Just reply to the topic with your picks. I will update the top post as often as I can, and it should serve as a good frame of reference as to who has already been selected. With that said, it is 6:00 PM, ET, and the draft is officially open. Good luck everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Is this limited to North American based wrestlers or is this open to international talent as well? In theory, you could potentially draft only lucha stars in order to create a stronger overall promotion. How many rounds do expect to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 are we talking about an EWR type game or what Just a mock draft for fun. If you want in, let me know now.
