Ultimate Draft II (Congrats to Roy for winning Best Overall)

[Redz]

With the season, the draft, and the Holy Decision past us, it's time to get the Ultimate Draft in gear again.  This year I'd like to limit it to a dozen teams.  First come, first serve, but please be sure you're into it before committing.  It's a bit of a long process, but we had a lot of fun with it last year.

I'd like to come up with 9 new categories for this year.  Take a look at last years below and throw some new ones out there.  We'll then vote for categories once we have a bunch to pick from.  Wild Card will remain.

--------------------------------


Some rules and regulations:

This is not a serious competition, so please don't make it competitive.  It is a creative activity.

The basic idea is to create a "team" by choosing within the categories and going for a certain set (or sets) of characteristics.

I don't see any reason for there to be a big hurry on the draft, but I also don't see there to be any reason for anyone to be particularly hung up on the difference between one pick and the next. Sooooooooooooo....If it is your turn to pick.  Take your pick.  If you are next to pick after the currently slotted pick and 1 hour has elapsed since the last pick you may make your pick.  The person who missed their pick may then pick at any time.  Again, this is not a competitive thing, so please don't sweat it if you're pick is skipped.

Duplicate picks are not allowed.

No trades.
