not 100% sure but I would assume that it picks from the top of your list. I haven't played solo/inaugural draft since at least version 10.

Is this what your your talking about? This wasn't meant as directions on how to do the draft and this was before Mark posted the tips.

And? That is what I relied upon. I'm like a three-tailed dog in a room full of rocking chairs right now. I didn't have time to do more than skim his post. You can deflect all you want. It's still BS. I don't know Mark from Adam anyway. Should I rely on the Commissioner who I have known for quite some time or somebody I barely know? All me I guess.

Jeff

I said I wasn't sure otherwise i would of told you how to do it.

Whatever Rich. It's all my fault. I shouldn't rely on what you say or if I do, I shouldn't say so, cause you will only backtrack on it anyway. Is that about right?

I will take him if nobody wants him!

we usually don't mess with the picks but with the Hurricane, utility issues, and the impotance of the draft. We didn't want any teams to start of weak. In my experience, the Gms that don't draft will drop out and leave a team that is hard to fill and/or will be disadvantage in the long run. But I agree- that guy should not of been moved. That was a mistake on my part.

This is the main problem with an inagural draft, GM's don't get the players they want so they jump ship. All it needs is a bit of preparation and you'll get a decent team that you can build on, yeah the utility sometimes screws up but if GM's could be trusted all leagues would do a forum draft but it takes forever because GM's can't be trusted.

End of the day is winning really that important? In all the years I've played in online leagues I've won 1 championship, was it the most enjoyment I've had in a league not by a long shot. I join leagues to have fun and a bit of banter with rivals, if I quit a league it's because I'm either not having fun or lack of time but never because I'm not winning.
