Have you processed any exports since you released all the players and started the draft?

If not then no one would have lists in-game? correct?

So what harm would it do to have the scout generate lists for all rounds?

Rich, a little more work for you but....

Once we move into the game, before you put up the first file, you could go team-to-team and have their scout generate lists for all rounds. Then upload the file. GMs who wish can then go in and modify the lists to their liking and the ones that don't want to or can't be bothered will at least have lists generated by their scout. This could at least make the teams viable when someone else takes over.

anyone object to this?

Nope, all I ask is that we're given time to look over the list.

I'll run rounds 6-10 like 7-8pm.

Tonight?

no tomorrow night. Today we finish up to 5 and put the new file out. 5 rounds a night.

Either way it doesn't bother me, we would be doing them in sections though? I don't really want to end up with 15 1B, in a previous draft that we ended up auto picking after X ammount of rounds I ended up with about 60 starting pitchers.

WhoDat wrote:Wow, missed that one. How did 1B Will Bedlecom last until the end of the 4th round? For some reason I had him marked off as taken earlier in the draft or I would have taken him earlier I think. Guess I got to recheck who I have marked off my list.

Had to do a couple of hours work today, I'm a manager at a company that hires vans and such out to the construction industry. A customer was swapping a van and had to do a couple of hours this morning so took my laptop to work on my draft list, anyway now that I've bored you I copied and pasted on notepad the draft selections so far and according to this morning Bedlecom was chosen with the 72nd pick. But according to the draft selections now CF Jose Rivera was taken with the 72nd pick so leaving Bedlecom to drop to me although when he was taken with the 72nd pick he dropped from my list and I replaced him with another 1B, so when I took him with the 96th pick he wasn't actually on my list, go figure In fact looking at my list that I have saved Kelly Mueller was my number one pick on my list when I left for work.

I will take the under on 17 teams actually setting a freaking list...this is comical. Come here to complain but won't put up a list that is long enough to sustain them being gone however long they need to be. And they think we should be held hostage by their dumb choices. Ridiculous. This is the way this draft is. It is too late to change that for your own personal needs. Protect yourself according to how THIS draft is being run. YOU ARE IN THIS LEAGUE...not some league from some other time...

Part of the reason I didn't do scouting for AHIBA. You can't draft without the utility.

You can have your scout set a list in-game and then run the draft there. The game uses your list to select the players. And, TADA, draft is done and you only have your list/scout to blame or the fact that once again you were too lazy to create a LIST...
