    Is there a final round up of picks available?


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Are we doing seperate threads for each group/final? With a poll?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Do ye want the votes based on 'thanks' or a poll?

    Is voting open to only people who took part in the draft or everyone in soccer forum?

    I would count a vote if it had a comment stating a reason why, but I realise there may not be enough interest in this approach.

    I'd say open to all? Maybe if we counted votes that were comments stating why but could also run a poll to use as a tie breaker or something.. Hard to know. People justifying their vote briefly would be good but might not be enough interest.

    I'm fine with open to all - votes with a comment should be the only ones that count with non comment votes counting for a tiebreaker - If a further tiebreaker is needed we can only count the actual draftees votes - Maybe we wait and ask a mod to add the poll after everyone has laid out their arguments however.

    I say stick the threads (at least the first 1/2) up soon to keep the momentum going too. I actually wrote up something already for my group as I don't always have a lot of time (young baby, changing jobs and homes (cities) atm) so am ready to go whenever one is up.

    Welcome one, welcome all to Group A of the 2020 Premier League Draft voting thread.

    Votes without a reason/comment will not be counted unless in the case of a tiebreak.

    Voting will commence when the final manager has posted their team/write up and will last for 24 hours.

    Winner of the group progresses to the semi-finals.


    Is this OK for the voting thread? Do I need to add anything else to it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,662 ✭✭✭wrestlemaniac

    I would add in that you are voting for the players peak seasons spent in the Premier league only

    I posted mine up there in group B, hard to know what to cover exactly as it was the first post, I can always post again if I need to reply to anything!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer

    Edit: Got it done :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Marty deserves to win for this part alone '' smart tactical fouling when the ball is lost to stop the counter attacks at source ''

    I got some laugh at that. :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,770 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Do we vote in our own groups or just the other ones? Obviously can't vote for ourselves!

    Not sure why you would vote for other teams in your group. I plan to vote in all the other groups anyway, we (the people involved) really should at least.

    Says the man who not once in his reasons to vote for him pitch mentioned not slaying you if you did.
