The Draft

    Ok so here is how the draft is going to work:
    Teams 1-6 must send Santry a pm with their top 6 picks by Monday the 3rd of September midnight.

    Along with this pick, they must include the following simple statement at the end of their message:

    "I have read the rules and agree to play by them"

    Santry will then pm the next 6 teams with the list of teams that are still available. The 6 teams will have until Tuesday midnight to reply.

    I will then be taking over and pmming the following 6 teams who will have to reply to me by the end of Wednesday.

    This will continue until all teams have picked, hopefully finished by Friday and the teams will be released over the course of the weekend.

    The official draft order will be published here when all the new comers have been accounted for.

    N.B. - If you don't send in your pick during your draft day, you will be moved to the end of the draft list.

    What is someone can't get online during their draft day? I think it's really harsh that they would be moved to the back. Why not just give them the next highest-rated team.

    Really looking forward to this now. Going to try and play with as many teams that I think will fall to me as I can before Wednesday. I currently have 3 in mind that I would be delighted to get. I think Monday's picks will go like this:

    Dave - Patriots
    Pudsy - Redskins (:eek:), if not Ravens
    Nelbert - Packers
    Notyalc666 - Giants
    Empacher - Texans
    LukeBray - Falcons

    Played a madden game online for the first time since megadrive madden ;)

    Played four games. Lost all four. Scored maybe four TDs but conceded about 150 points. Will be a long season :D

    Heli,

    Could you edit my post and put HowAreWe and gufc21 on Friday's draft day?

    Thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,553 ✭✭✭madalig12


    Can't wait for this to start, or for my game to arrive tomorrow! I've one day to decide who to draft.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    The first players have been PM'd. You have until 12 midnight tomorrow (Monday midnight) to PM your top 6 preferences. Thanks! :)

    The other good thing about people sending in their top 6 picks is that apart from the number 1 pick, nobody else can be exactly sure who they got!

    fully agree, i think it's a good way.
    There'll be some banter once the choices are confirmed!

    Actually I want to be part of the suspense, disregard me as the #1 pick and drop me to the bottom of the list.



    :pac: :pac: :pac:


    Not really.

    If guys get back to you quicker than expected, will it be sped up?

    If possible, might be nice to get bit more chance to practice with a team

    Agree Rob, if all of the first picks are back now then the 2nd round should be sent out.
    The guys will still have til midnight tomorrow but if they come back then we can speed up the process.

    I have no problems with that, Santry is in charge of the first two days so see what he thinks.

    Heli, can you add Colts to the end of the draft list please

    Haha welcome aboard man, good to have you here.

    Played much Madden?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Heli,

    Could you please remove Daflood from the draft list as unfortunately he won't be joining us.

    If we get all the picks in lads we can speed up the process. No problem at all. Just one set of picks to go for this round. Not looking at you Pudsy :p:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D

    Haven't played with the Seahawks in the full game but I enjoyed playing with them on the demo.

    I have 3 teams earmarked now. Team 1 would be a bit of a reach, Team 2 should hopefully fall to me and Team 3 should be guaranteed to fall to me. I wouldn't be too happy with Team 3 but at the same time I'd rather play with a team whose schemes suit my style of play rather than one rated a few OVR points higher but that don't suit my play, especially considering it takes a number of seasons to change schemes successfully. If it was just a matter of switching playbooks it wouldn't make a difference but you really do have to take into account a lot of things when choosing a team this year and not just the OVR rating of players.

    I'm just hoping that when I open the PM with the remaining teams left on Wednesday that at least one of those 3 teams is still on it. If not I'm in for a long day trying out others :pac:

    I can't wait to see who everyone gets and what division we'll all be in. This was a cracking idea drafting like this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Can I can crawling back? :o

    And be added to Friday's list? :)

    I've checked the numbers, you don't have 32 so should be room :cool:

    I know I won't get my beloved Ravens :( But that's ok

    I might even head over to the NFC for a change ;)
