IceStorm70 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 New final Poll, please review options and pick from these two. Option one is new and based on Labs and Plabax proposal. For example, if Swos(24)and Ice(23) drop out, the first replacement can pick either the 23rd or 24th position in the draft. GDL XI Draft order poll. Please only vote if you're in GDL XI. Thanks. My vote is for noobs in beginning of round and reverse order of finish from GDL X afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlabaxV2 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Noobs at the end. Like in SDL, it's not fair when the weakest player drops 3-4 spots in the draft. When noobs are at the end they there's no drawback to anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'd argue noobs need better players at first. Why should you or I get a better first round pick then a noob? or swos or carse or frey for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlabaxV2 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Noob does not equal bad. Like in SDL, it's unfair to the weaker players because most of the time, the noobs are better than them. However we are not sure how well they will do, so the bottom is the best position to place them, as it does not make anybody weaker or stronger. Valid example is TomKabs, a noob who didn't get a high pick, but ended up winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlabaxV2 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 And you're the same guy who called me a baby when I requested to move up in the Blitz draft -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 lol I didn't call you a baby, I know you're right noob <> bad at all. maybe we need to look at each noob individually and categorize them? like Depch, he wouldn't need a higher pick to compete, dude is going to be very good once he gets used to NA puck.

PlabaxV2 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 If you are going to categorize people best thing to do is categorize the whole league. Do some odds and then make the draft order based off that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I assume there should be some benefit for having played last season and sticking around...noobs at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer_33 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Is the new site set up to draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABS_66 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I know I am not in the league yet and only on the wait list but what about a reverse order from GDL X, with the noobs falling in whichever number pick their team, that they took over, finished. I believe that is the most fair way to do it. Edited January 19, 2014 by LABS_66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Seth Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) No matter what game, league, or competition it's hard to argue against the good old concept of random selection for draft priority. That's usually the most fair. Edited January 20, 2014 by Uncle Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Its not as it appears Seth, in any given year we gave ~2-3 'noobs' which implies new to GDL not new to 94. So 21 returning coaches are slotted 1-21 wuth the 'noobs' 22-24 for their inaugural season. Still worst to first order 1-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way though, noobs are guaranteed the late round pick. But whatever. I'll do my best with who I get and hopefully no one takes my Elynuik first round.

PlabaxV2 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Points for playing all 56 games and hanging in there.. so you don't end up with the 6th pick when you really should have the 1st pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houly Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am not in the favour of the trade limit (5players, 5picks) cuz the smozy formula is good. So the trades are legits and hokkee can't f**k his team . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlabaxV2 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think LABS said it best.. Just give them the pick of the team they are replacing. Much easier (Y) and the fairest option by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm for the system they used the last 10 seasons. IMO, the one in place usually works "well enough". I've think enough opinions came on all sides of these fences to prove you are never gonna make everyone happy anyhow, so still with what was working. ***This also benefits me. Which is the best part of most people's opnions, as they RARELY go against their best interest **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
