  1. If you were running the classic league...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I read the question as for the fall/spring classic leagues & not a custom league, so based my opinion/options off that.

    First, I'd do team selection as an actual draft w/ a ranked selection or random order, but I always hated the selection process.

    Second, I'd have three leagues, a) B) & c).

    For c, if new guys stop playing, those games are deleted and a new coach is found. Having a sub start mid season is dumb & ruins the stats for that guy & others who did/did not get to play.

    Third, depending on how many play, consider splitting schedule into conferences based on time zones that guys play, & you do not play teams outside your zone till playoffs.

    Shorten time for check points & get to playoffs faster, & put time slots on playoff rounds to keep momentum. Over the years a few forfeits would have been better than dragging a post season till no one cares who won.

    The biggest problem seems to be guys not showing up to play. Maybe having a preseason where you have to play a minimum amount of games to be allowed in one of the leagues? That might weed out some of the guys who aren't going to make the time.

  8. Blitz 09 "B" League team rankings

    I use my own set of formulas (my own bias...if I took the time, I'd come up with something that combines my own w/ ADP, but it's quick) to come up with overall for each player. Then I rank the top 4 F, top 3 D and 1G, give them weights as follows

    1F (6), 2F (3), 3F (2), 4F (1), 1D (3), 2D (2), 3D (1), 1G (1).

    Thanks! So, the formula itself is a trade secret?

  10. Blitz 09 Draft Recap

    Finally, the 3 largest variances were:

    Frank Musil, drafed #98 overall by Skeletor, drafted about 74 spots ahead of his previous averages. That's quite a large variance, but at the same time I assume Skeletor was valuing speed and agilty as Frank is 4/4 in those categories. Not easily found in a defensemen at that stage of the draft.

    You pretty much nailed it, although checking was also a big factor (I look at him as the Blitz equivalent of Petr Svoboda). I built my GDL team based on checking and got slaughtered by the fast teams, so my strategy was to pick size and speed for this draft. I don't like rushing with the defencemen, as that leaves me open to breakaways, so having little offence from him isn't a big deal. I also picked up Chiasson, who I can sub in for more offence if desired.

    The big question for me this year is if Puppa/Hrudey can keep enough pucks out of the net for me to win a few more games than last season.
