June 25, 200818 yr comment_62936 A Snes draft league is no longer wishful thinking! This is something xgrad and myself put together and we will run the league (and halifax?) We are hoping (if theres enough interest) to have this go for several seasons and get a Sub Forum. And possibly stats and a web site in season 2 SNES DRAFT LEAGUE DRAFT This is the first draft where players build the initial team. Coaches names will be picked from a hat to Seed them 1-12 Players drafted are Restricted Free Agents in season 1 post season. This is a one time event. Coaches will draft 6F 4D 2G Lottery for picks 1-12 Snake order i.e: 1st picks first in rounds 1,3,5,7,9,11 12th picks first in rounds 2,4,6,8,10,12 Post Draft Trading period (1-2 weeks in length) SEASON 2 Conferences 2 Divisions per Conference 40 game season (8 vs each divisional rival) (8*2 = 16) (4 vs each conference rival) (4*3 = 12) (2 vs other conference) (2*6 = 12) Halfway point - 1-2 week trading period (Coaches must be within 5 games (+ or -) of the halfway mark in order to be eligible for trades) Season resumes and finishes SCORING SYSTEM Win = 2 pts Tie/OT loss = 1 pt Loss = 0 pts TIE BREAK RULES: 1)Most Wins 2)Less Losses 3)Goals for 4)Less goals against 5)Who ever Ticks dog likes best PLAYOFFS Top 4 teams from each conference make it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs (Best of 7) 1 vs 4 - For each conference 2 vs 3 Then Conference finals Then Stanley Cup finals 1st OFFSEASON - Rookie draft List of available rookies will be made available and the draft will begin with the worst record in Season 1 picking 1st and so on. Note that trading for picks and players IS allowed -Signing period This is where coaches have the chance to sign/trade the players they drafted from the beginning of the season. This is when all contracts will be made for seasons to come. -Coaches must meet the players “asking price†if they want to sign them to a contract (asking prices will be made available) If the coach chooses not to sign a player. That player becomes a Free Agent and the asking price is dismissed. The coach can not bid a player he gave up. - Max contract length is 3 years. - Any player left unsigned enters a free agent pool where other coaches can Bid on the player. - Unsigned rookies enter the same free agent pool for bidding *After a players contract expires (whether it's 1,2 or 3 years) they become a UFA See Below for details on UFA SUBSEQUENT OFFSEASONS -Rookie Draft Same format as 1st Off season - Signing period: Coaches must meet the “asking price†for the rookies or they become free agents All UFA's enter a free agent pool where the player will go to the highest Bid - Max contract length is once again 3 years - After a players contract expires they become a UFA NOTE: ALL coaches can bid on ALL players. Restricted Free Agents were a 1 time deal in the first off season. This is the first season to the first ever SNES draft league. We want it to run like a well oiled machine.

June 25, 200818 yr comment_62937 hey everyone, i'm xgrad06, cocreator of the snes draft league with gihtarman... we plan on starting out the league small with the 12 teams, and a list of coaches we feel will be committed to the league. These coaches are not set in stone yet because we don't know if they'll have time or even want to join the league so feel free to sign up here to get put onto the waiting list, you may even get added to the league for the first season! can't wait for the fun to begin!

June 25, 200818 yr comment_62939 I'll be starting negotiations with all players to play overtime only. Report

June 25, 200818 yr comment_62950 This sounds great! add me to this list! I know my commitment level dropped off for the end of capitalism league, but it shouldn't scare you off. This was a special time, with two moves going on, and I'd like to think that apart from this one slip up my gameplay has been fairly solid, finishing as many games as possible in all previous leagues. Hopefully someone can vouch for me on this and hopefully I can get the nod if a spot opens up. Report
June 25, 200818 yr comment_62954 WOW, this looks awesome. Thanks guys for all your hard work. I haven't been around the last couple weeks, but have no fear. I will be back in action in no time. Report

You were basicly a no show the cap second season, but in order to get there you had to play at least 80 games. Xgrad has no problems with you and niether do i, but dont let us down! play your games getting ticknest involved looks grim. Decent chance youll take his place. WOW, this looks awesome. Thanks guys for all your hard work. I haven't been around the last couple weeks, but have no fear. I will be back in action in no time. I am aware of your computing situation.

June 26, 200818 yr comment_63011 getting ticknest involved looks grim. Decent chance youll take his place. Especially when you forget an "e"! In seriousness, though, I'm just sticking to the same point I've made for years, which is that I find drafts boring because I hate doing the research for them and the interminable draft itself makes me want to do something much more interesting, like jab myself in the eye with a sharp, pointy stick repeatedly.

June 29, 200818 yr Author comment_63144 League will start once we get confirmation from master, and forums. then poeple will pick their teams, and the drafts will begin Report

After what Tick has said I should drop out of this SNES draft. Tick makes sense. I'll watch and see how it goes. I'd pick mostly Canucks anyways. I kinda felt bad signing up for this when I didn't sign up for Cap 2 because I was busy. My good friend Tim died a few weeks ago so I've been kinda preoccupied. He was up in Penticton and was riding a bicycle and fell of the cliff. I went to Italy and Paris with him a few years ago. He was 1 day older than me. Tim was so well coordinated and played hockey like me. Tim was a lawyer. He was riding with his girlfriends dad. The dad turned around and Tim was gone. Damn I guess he hit a rock or something and it took him over the edge. Great work shaftman and xgrad for making a SNES draft! The SNES '94 gods are proud of you guys! I hope it is a sucessful draft! Good luck everyone. Cheers Report
