Draft Order Problems

Ok, one, like Bryan said, I can't find last year's playoff results on CBS.

I'm sure of 5 of the teams. Spundin beat Craig Shames in the Finals. Luis beat Brian in the 3rd place matchup. Thats your bottom four. I'm 99% sure Luis beat The Cutoff Men in his first matchup, and and I'm 50 % sure the other person to lose in the first round was Jam. Can these last two just confirm this? I'm pretty sure it is, I just want confirmation because I can't see it anywhere in CBS either.

Second, there seems to be a couple of trades that I don't quite get.

One:

I don't understand the 2010 3rd pick (second lowest of the four part). Is that your 3rd pick? 3rd round pick?

Also, atleast from looking at it, looks like LWB's first round pick was traded twice.

It was traded first there, and then:

https://ebhdbaseball.forumotion.com/trades-completed-f14/elite-and-white-balls-trade-announcement-t1165.htm

Traded again there.

Now, since looking at Bryan's version of the draft order, I'm assuming that ThunderBalls traded Spundin's pick (which he also had) instead of his own pick, but just didn't make it clear. Anyway, can we get a confirmation on that?

The way the draft order is set up is the playoff results would constitute the final 6 spots (ie Spundin's pick would be last, Craig's pick second last, etc) and then the other 14 picks are based on winning percentage. I'll post the Draft Order, when I get confirmation on this, I'm about halfway through writing it up, but I just wanted to get confirmation on these before finishing it and having to revise it.

Yeah, Luis beat me (The Cutoff Men) in the 1st round. IIRC, I had like a 9-3 lead going into Sunday and he edged me out in three categories on the last day to get the win. Broke my heart.

For my deal, I first traded picks down from my position to OC's which TBC got in a deal with OC. Then I just moved it in the later deal. I have no 1st rounder now.


Basically, deal 1 dropped my position from somewhere around 10 to near the end of the first round. 2nd deal gave it up.

Great, and can someone confirm Jam was the other guy please? Thanks.

Yes, I lost in the 1st round, but can't remember to who. I was the wild card, so it is one of the division winners.

OK, great, so just need the TBC deal to be explained, and we should be good to go.

It should read 3rd Round pick. It is the second lowest of the 4 3rd picks I had obtained. My highest and lowest went to Craig, my second lowest which was from Indiana Elite belongs to Brady Bunch and my second highest I keep comes from a trade that was made with SIS (now Roto). If you need me to point out all those trades I will, you can also refer to my roster which explains draft pick movement.

Random question here, but why arent we doing a snake type draft anymore? Did we ever?

Did I just forget and only notice now? Sorry, Im slow sometimes.

Well the snake type draft makes it a lot more even for everyone involved, while a straight draft helps out the lower tier teams because they get the better picks, which helps keep competitive balance afloat, or atleast attempts at it.

Indeed, a snake draft is appropriate for an inaugural draft when all GMs are equal, but a straight draft is appropriate thereafter b/c GMs are no longer equal & the straight draft assists the weaker teams.
