it would seem D2D agrees with you and we are down to 3 spots remaining.

Surely it is up to you as the booker to establish new names.

Plus with a 1980 cut off, you have 30 years of debuts. It also makes the first round somewhat less important, which I think is a good thing as there will be at least one pre 1980 round where you can bolster your roster who an older bigger name.

Boo. I'd prefer it to be left at 1970 myself, it made it far more varied and enjoyable for me last year.

Well, so far I've got a list of 20 names, ranging from top guys all the way down to jobbers. I have three ME guys though I'll be happy with any one of them for instance...

This really is pointless until you see the draw for Round 1 unfortunately. Anywhere from 15-20 and you're struggling a bit from the off, especially if its a 1980-onwards game only.

if it is 1980 onwards there simply has to be atleast two rounds in which pre 1980 picks are eligable, the amount of massive names that arent available in normal rounds is huge including several that would normally go in the 1st or 2nd rounds

At least 2 rounds, the list is ridiculously long.

Yeah, I know. It's more as a guideline for who I'd like and what style of pick I want to make over the entire draft. I'm flexible though and I'll adjust accordingly

Too kind words! Sorry man, the draft is far too addictive. Final year, need to TCB

Bounty Hunter · 07-01-2011 4:09pm

whats going on? best part of 2 days and still 2 spots open... very unusual. Although one of the reasons i guess is a good thing as it seems only those willing to properly commit to the game are doing so.

maybe if nobody signs up after another day we just go ahead with 18 but maybe add an extra round to it as there will still be some quality names available at the end with less draftees

The Volt · 07-01-2011 4:20pm

Where's campo been of late? would've expected him to partake.

hasnt been on boards for like 6 days

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-01-2011 8:40pm

There's one or two I was hoping to see take part whose efforts I've enjoyed but I guess they are too busy this time. I think we might as well leave it open for the weekend which is generally a slow enough period and maybe kick it off on Monday evening which is generally a busy time. The important thing is to have as many as possible near the end and I think last year we had the highest rate of finishing participants so hopefully more of the same this time.

gimmick · 08-01-2011 12:40am

I have sent messages to a few people i thought would be interested. Hopefully they will take the spots.

The Volt · 08-01-2011 1:24am

campo · 08-01-2011 1:28am

Going a different route this year might go for a card of mid carders who can cut a promo

DM_7 · 08-01-2011 2:39am

Looking forward to seeing everyone's efforts again this year.

I would take part myself only I would like to survive my first year of Marriage! The time factor involved in the Draft would see my wife getting divorce papers drafted:pac:
