I'm curious as to why you would feel this way, Greg...Alleghenies wrote:Not that anyone cares, but if we go to a forum draft, WV GM will be leaving.
My other league does a forum draft, supplemented by a program similar to StatsLab, and it doesn't take that long - albeit the leagues are smaller. But, if we began when the draft pool is revealed, we could easily manually do the draft via forums - complete with making your selection in StatsLab so that the list there is constantly updated. We wouldn't miss a beat, season-wise; It's not as if we'd have to sit around for two weeks trying to complete a draft with no games going on in the background...Wind Dancers wrote:... Forum drafts are an absolute nightmare, especially in a league like this where GM's may not be online that much, even if it's only for a few rounds. I'm talking 1 round lasting a week, waiting for 1 person to pick all day, scout ratings changing mid draft because it's taking so long etc.
All that said, I do like (and prefer) the live draft - it's just too bad more folks don't show up...
