30 team CelticsBlog draft, year two

[wdleehi]

how many people do you have already, counting me and startorien

I have 11 names based on PMs I have received so far.

The Hartford Rockets was still the deepest and probably the best defensive team in the league. 

[crownsy]

But how do you win?

I think the idea is to hold votes for things like "best team to win now", "best team for the future", etc.

Last year we spoke about putting the team through a video game season, but nobody picked up the ball and inputted the lineups.

i have a text sim basketball game, i could try to hunt down a real roster file for it as opening day apporaches and the rookies are added.

Thanks for the info.

Democracy is the tyranny of the majority. How can I be sure that people will vote for the best team, mine? Anyway, if anyone needs an Assistant General Manager (exactly and literally that, I'm not Dwight Schrute), I'm available.

I can solve that problem by deciding which team is the best and then letting everyone know. We can make this a dictatorship very easily.

i think i sent a message. i'm not sure though, it didn't show up in my outbox.

but this sounds pretty fun.

re-post


We are starting a new 30 team CelticsBlog draft set to start Monday August 4th.


This is the same as we did last year.  30 teams. 15 rounds.   A lot of trades.


You be the GM and create a team.   (for those who are new or missed it last year, this is not a draft for fantasy league)




Now, there will be a couple of changes.

1) I am no longer a GM.  I am for this season, the Commissioner.  I will approve all trades.  I will keep the draft moving forward.

2) You can put together a group (2) of owners to run one team.  Good for those who can't be on as much

3) We will choose winners.




There are plenty of ideas the staff have discussed and agreed upon.  We will let you now what these are later as well as getting your input on other league running decisions.




But for right now, we are taking a list of posters wanting to participate.  There are only 30 teams (some of which are already taken)


PM me if you want to throw your hat into the ring.  If you played last year, include what team you controlled last year in the PM.

So is this going to be like a live draft kind of thing here on Celticsblog where you have to be present at the draft etc?

[go11celtics]

i remember this. i sent my pm in and i was in it last year and would do it again. i just dont remember my team haha

[Robb]

I remember my team all too well...ugh...

I had no time last year for trading since I'm on the other side of the planet and all, so I would like to have some help from an Assistant or a co-owner.

Also, how is the draft working?  Should I call dibs on the Hawks?  Can we do something more random than alphabetical?

You should hitch your wagon to a moderator, they have the unique ability to trade immediate TPs for draft picks that the rest of us regular joes can't compete with.
