QUESTION

I just thought of this

What happens with draft picks that are traded for? Do points only count towards the picks you have from standings placement? If you gain bonus picks through trades, do they stay stagnant? Do you have to split your points evenly? Do they still remain tied to the original team that traded them away?

I ask because I don't think points should count towards moving up for multiple picks. Moving up in each round for your 'true' picks, I am all for. I think we need a ruling on this.

I think the best way to handle this is to keep it tied to the team the pick originally belonged to. For example... a team has the 1st pick and they want to trade it. They would want to stay active to keep the value of that pick. If you trade for a pick from a team that isn't very active, then you are taking a risk that you will no longer have the 1st pick. Although, the pick would not likely drop very far if at all the way the system is now setup.

OK

Thanks for the clarification bud

[CrazyEights]

Anytime...what do you think of the new system?

So far, the ramblings threads look better than they have ever looked.

[DiamondDave]

Well... any time I contribute, they look AWESOME

I think this can work..... I think that those GM's that are active and don't post a lot, will soon see the value in even just short posts to get some minimal points to help solidify their pick position....

I sort of like it

FYI... I'll be doing a FA article on the non-star signings of FA... that way someone else can write on the big stuff

I have updated the participation points thread, and organized it better.

Well, I could step down. The new point system will make it even more difficult for me to keep up with the pace.

Fishercat created this system, and I made some adjustmentsin areas that I felt were important. I really like this this points system and I think it will make the league stronger. It is set up in a way that does give an advantage to the bad teams, but those teams do have to participate in the league in order to keep their advantage. It won't eliminate tanking, but I think it will make it less of an issue. The way the system works now, if you want the 1st pick in the draft, you just have to play worse than any other team. It's almost like a battle for last place. With this system, you aren't guaranteed the 1st pick in the draft if you beat the other teams at being bad. It's sending a message that there are other ways to get a good pick in the draft without having to lose the most games.
