Basically what the topic says, the supplemental that you've all read about, and maybe wondered about is going to start on Thursday December 20.

Reno is on Tuesday the 18th, and then after that theres really no major competition that I can find until Midlands and the Scuffle the weekend of the 29th.

It'll be three rounds max, you can participate in all three rounds, you can participate in two, one, or you can choose to not participate at all. It'll be done in the same format as the original draft, someone will pick, and then we'll try and notify the person up next so they can get their pick in.

To pick a wrestler, you must also drop a wrestler. When it comes to your pick you'll go "I'm picking ______, and I'm dropping _______" Other owners will then in turn be allowed to use their picks, on guys that have been dropped already. One man's trash, is another man's treasure, eh?

Order will be established by the standings, it'll go in reverse order from lowest score to highest. Hence why I'm waiting for Reno to finish so I can tabulate scores before we have this.

Jensens what if we would drop a guy to pick up a replacement but the replacement gets taken? THat kind of screws us over submitting the names first Like if theres a 149 pounder or two I have my eye on for example and I let caldwell go but those guys get taken before I get a chance to pick and then someone takes caldwell then this supplimental just raped part of my team.

Drop and pick-up in the same round would work. I pick (enter name here) and drop (enter name here). Can we pick-up someone who gets dropped? How would that work?

Thats kind of what I'm thinking and what I may go with, meaning it comes to your pick you say "I'm dropping ______, and I'm picking up _______."

That should eliminate Lost's problem as well, so I think I'll go with that!

To your other question...yes, you will be able to pick up guys that other people drop, kind of the basis for my trash v. treasure line. You'll still only get a maximum of three, but if a guy gets dropped from some team, and he's preferable to the guys just left in the pool then you can definitely pick him up.

Wiltz

Had I known about the reverse order I would have taken it easy on you guys.

That would seem to be the best system, that way the guys are still in the pool. You could make it fair even and add like an extra round if someone wanted to pick up someone that had been dropped. For example if wiltz dropped Cael Sanderson with the very last pick of the 3rd round we could have another round to see if someone wanted Cael Sanderson (or anyone else who had been dropped in the 3rd round)

Brother Commish,
What time are we doing the draft? I have the last pre Christmas wrestling practice for my boys club from 630-830 EST. I can't bring myself to use a fantasy wrestling draft as an excuse to miss a real life wrestling practice! Especially after I gave my son and his team mates self-rightious holy hell for wanting to play fantasy video games instead of going with me to watch a real college wrestling match. These boys have memories like friggin elephants and I'd never live it down!

I am traveling from Florida to Minnesota on the 20th but will do my best not to hold things up.

Is there any way to have a rough list of who is gone at each weight in order to make the draft go more quickly?

If not that, then we should all put our teams back up so everyone can do their own research to see who is available.

Thanks.

We're going to run it like we did the original draft, we'll kick it off whenever, and then we'll notify people when their picks come up. I've still got the list of numbers saved, so hopefully we'll manage to move through things quick.

Gof, posting teams will make things easy, that or you can go into the injury replacement thread, the one with the list of everyone who's been drafted in it, and type in a name in the "Search this thread" feature. If the first post pops up, that dude has been chosen.

I think if we have a thread where we all post our full rosters, and nothing else so it doesnt get cluttered, would be very helpful for this.
