    I haven't put any thought into who I'm drafting just yet, with my lovely low draw I'm just gonna make a call when it gets a bit closer to me.

    I had just gotten as far as thinking I'd probably take Gargano/Ciampa as they are some of the only rd1 quality signings I've never booked in the draft so far but as usual as soon as you decide on a pick you want this usual happens

    I have a list of people I want now.

    I fully expect the most important ones to be gone by the end of round 2 :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Ive no idea who I want, though my first pick will dictate my second pick in terms of having a never seen before match.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Sorry about the delay guys, will have my pick up shortly. Just a quick question with regards to the

    Tag Teams:

    Tag Teams come as a package so for example if you want the Authors of Pain then you don't have to pick Rezar one round and then Akam the next. The rules for tag teams are as follows:

    - Cannot have a world champion in them ie no DX or Hart Foundation


    Does the world title include NXT championship

    Does the world title include NXT championship

    No it doesn't I think I have the ones that are included listed in the rules

    If it did DIY would not have been ok as a tag pick. FCW going to burn things down this year with the monday night messiah Seth Rollins!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ok I've decided that Round 3 will have players placement determined by the Rumble... assuming everyone gets on to pick before it kicks off.


    Details to follow when I get home from work.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Ok folks by popular demand Round 3's order will be determined by the Royal Rumble


    tumblr_pm0yyrm9VP1wyspnlo2_500.gifv


    Actually.... scratch that.

    By BOTH Royal Rumbles.

    tenor.gif


    (Yeah, yeah it's a Mania gif but I don't want to influence the picks :P )


    Here's how it will work.

    Each player gives me not one, but two numbers between 1 and 30.

    After the Royal Rumble has taken place, I will combine the times for both of those picks for each of you.

    The person whose picks had the LONGEST combined time in the Rumbles will have the number 1 choice in round 3, and so on amongst the 16 players.

    Any ties in time will be determined by random selection, eg Necro and Bounty Hunter's picks have a combined time of 51 mins, 47 seconds - I will randomise both Necro and Bounty Hunter and whoever comes out on top will go before the other etc etc

    For the benefit of fairness and equality I will wait until everyone else has picked and then randomise my two numbers from the remaining field.

    Any questions, simply ask. Hope I've made the parameters clear.

    Basically it's a bit of fun and gives some (including myself) a reason to watch the Rumble this weekend.

    When you're ready you can just post your numbers on thread, I have the spreadsheet set up to record them.

    And yes, you can pick the same number twice if you like :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,851 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I just got back from the convenience store so my numbers are 7 & 11.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Gonna go with 1 for both!

    Delighted I got my first choice. Now to hope my second choice remains undrafted for another 11 picks

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    The joys of the draft :D

    Hope that stip isn't too restricting, I did do some research to make sure there would be enough top tier talent for everyone, I think it works :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,851 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Cheers for the PM Nitro.

    Interesting stip but I'd say if people do enough googling most of their planned choices will have probably interacted with the law in some form or another on a show before.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    With everyone now having picked their numbers for the Rumble I have randomised my own

    And they are

    5 for the Men's

    And

    27 for the Women's

    Best of luck peeps :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    1 pick away that will decide the entire look and feel of the roster. I had two picks earmarked and neither have been taken. They are both radically different to the point that if I don’t get my first pick then my second pick will 100% set the course for the entire roster!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Ive 2 in mind. Having 2 picks between my first pick and second helps my main feud building capabilities


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I have two in mind myself. Hope they arent the same as your two folks :D

    Ah I just seen Hunter is gone.... bye bye my first choice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Delighted, Jericho was my first choice since the stip got revealed, and I’m actually surprised to see him go for so long without getting picked up!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,160 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Hold up, I can't see where Sting won a WWE tag team title, that pick isn't eligible.

    I'll PM PTH now
