Title: 2014 Draft Thread
Post by: mstreeter06 on September 06, 2013, 10:59:02 pm
We can begin the 2014 Amateur Draft while the playoffs start. Draft pick trades are allowed and player trades are opened up to non-playoff teams.

We can only have up to NC's pick if teams move that quickly. Iowa Corncobs are free to make their selection here in this thread and teams following. We'll draft here in this thread until the playoffs conclude where we'll then move to Statslab then our live draft night (likely sometime during the Sept 16th week).

Statslab draft pool (sortable and where we'll draft): http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/statslab/StatsLab/draftWarroom.php

When is the best night to hold our live portion of the draft? I'm unavailable Tuesday and Thursday but able to hold the draft Monday (tomorrow), Wednesday, or maybe Friday night. Any preferences?

Post by: mstreeter06 on September 08, 2013, 10:04:06 pm
Iowa is free to start the draft whenever. I will let everyone know when Statslab is ready for drafting (likely later tonight). Until then, make your picks here.

Seeing as my first pick is not until the 4th round, my opinion matters for not much :) Wednesday or Friday evenings (US times) both work for me.
Title: Re: 2014 Draft Thread
Post by: yuda on September 09, 2013, 06:16:01 am
Wednesday doesn't work for me. But, don't hold it up if that night is good for everybody else.

I'll be around tonight but watching the Eagles so its not really my first choice either. ;)

Arizona and Ontario have 5 first round picks between them, they should just meet for coffee and hold the draft... lol

Edit: Of course I wrote that before seeing ON traded away one their first rounders. Still AZ should meet with whoever and hold a personal draft ;)
Title: Re: 2014 Draft Thread
Post by: mstreeter06 on September 09, 2013, 06:41:02 am
Yeah, I'm going to try to coordinate the best night for Arizona if possible since Troy as a bunch of picks.

I'm working on getting Statslab ready for drafting but we can try to get as much drafting done using the forum to start then move to Statslab until we get a live draft scheduled for the remaining picks.

I believe I have Statslab ready to go for drafting with the correct draft order and traded draft picks. Iowa can make their selection in Statslab now.

Eek... did we draft that many already? Or did the first 10 picks get auto'd accidentally??

I think everyone was already set to auto from the previous draft still and it just went ahead and picked for everyone... lol

Oops I guess I didn't remove everyone's Auto from the last draft. I've rolled back any picks the CPU tried to make.

Saturday no good for me (it's Sunday morning my time and I'm away from PC) - but again I only have 4 picks and might even auto all of them.

Title: Re: 2014 Draft Thread

Title: Re: 2014 Draft Thread
Post by: mstreeter06 on September 11, 2013, 09:26:42 am
Well we will have a new game file upload after the draft either Monday or Tuesday depending on which night we have the live draft but won't sim 1st half of ST until Wednesday next week (9/18).

I need to report the Statslab bug that doesn't auto pick from list picks when the timer isn't on. I just auto picked the 4 or so teams that were on list picks from the top of their lists. We're up to #12 overall and Texas.
Title: Re: 2014 Draft Thread
Post by: mstreeter06 on September 11, 2013, 08:00:17 pm
I have some work stuff that might run longer than a normal work day Monday so we'll have to hold our draft on Sunday night at 7pm CT.

We'll hang out in a IRC chat room where we'll finish the draft from wherever we get to this week drafting on our own time.

Each pick will have a 5 minute per draft slot with a total of 7 rounds.

The leftover players from the draft pool become free agents and are immediately available following the conclusion of the final pick of the draft.

Here's a fresher on the current FA/UDFA rules to Lawrence and anyone else...
5)      Free Agents
a)      Free Agents may be claimed on a first come, first serve basis.  Claims are made in the designated forum, and not in-game.
i)        Owners may only claim two free agents every calendar day during the regular season and postseason.
ii)       Owners may only claim one free agent every calendar day from the end of the Federation Cup Series until Opening Day.
iii)     For instance, you can claim a player at 11:59 PM Monday and then a second player 12:01 AM Tuesday. AFBL is set in the Central Time Zone and is the factor in any decisions.
b)      Undrafted Free Agents
i)        Following the amateur draft, any leftover players from the draft pool become free agents which can be immediately claimed by a team following normal AFBL FA rules (Rule 5a).

Matt - 95% certain I won't be able to make the live draft, if I haven't made a list or set it to auto, you have permission to set NJ to auto pick.

Draft is complete. Remember that only 1 FA claim per calendar day. Claims are made on a first come, first serve basis here on the forum.

Inputting the results now and will roll the game to 2015. Massachusetts will be moving to Pennsylvania on 1/1/2015 and then I'll sim up to the beginning of Spring Training.
