    Ok, I'm totally confused. Also, my wife is not a regular board member, so I'm not sure how drafting on here would work for her.

    You would post your wife's pick on her behalf... you wouldn't have to select for her, just have her tell you who she would like to add to her roster.

    Basically I would create a thread called Armchairs 2012 Draft Thread or something like that. The respective owner would make a selection in a pool of players that consists of ONLY rookies (ie, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill, etc). Because this is a rookies only draft, this is the best possible way to do this.

    Then the draft order would be (based on standings/playoffs):
    1. 2k5 (2k5)
    2. Aqua's Aerial Attack (Aqua4Ever04)
    3. Slayer B's Champs (DrAstroZoom's Wife)
    4. Still Hope For Luck? (BuckeyeKing)
    5. Astro's Zooms (DrAstroZoom)
    6. Las Tetas (NaboCane)
    7. Mallett's 8 Ball (SICK)
    8. Polk High Panthers (Desides)
    9. Forsett In Her Butt (UCFinFan86)
    10. Its 420 Somewhere (Trowa)
    11. Blount Force Trauma (Boik/PTG)
    12. Nothing But The Bess (GIK34)

    13. 2k5
    14. Aqua's Aerial Attack
    15. Still Hope For Luck?
    16. Slayer B's Champs
    17. Astro's Zooms
    18. Las Tetas
    19. Mallett's 8 Ball
    20. Polk High Panthers
    21. Astro's Zooms (from Forsett In Her Butt via Newton/Peterson trade)
    22. Astro's Zooms (from Its 420 Somewhere via Lynch/Dalton trade)
    23. Blount Force Trauma
    24. Nothing But The Bess

    25. 2k5
    26. Aqua's Aerial Attack
    27. Slayer B's Champs
    28. Still Hope For Luck?
    29. Astro's Zooms
    30. Las Tetas
    31. Mallett's 8 Ball
    32. Polk High Panthers
    33. Forsett In Her Butt
    34. Its 420 Somewhere
    35. Blount Force Trauma
    36. Nothing But The Bess

    Keep in mind that the draft is NOT snaked... the draft is what gives the teams drafting earlier a chance to recover over time. The draft is also three rounds so you would be adding three rookies to your roster... unless you traded for a draft selection like ole Doc did. Getting Cam Newton and a 2nd round pick for Adrian Peterson seems like highway robbery in hindsight. :lol:

    Adding to this... it wouldn't be a strict time limit type draft like the GM League... it's three rounds, twelve picks for each round. So if we make two or three picks each day... I'd be fine with it. As long as we get done before week 4 of preseason really.

    Keep in mind that I may not be able to even run my team this year, so if someone wants my roster, they can have it. I'd rather give it up now than waffle for a few weeks and screw things up.

    I would gladly take his roster. All kidding aside I have a buddy who would love the spot. He's been wanting in the league since I first told him about it lol.

    I stand by the trades I made last year both for Andy Dalton and for Beanie Wells/Brandon Jacobs.

    Also, I should have the 9th pick as I finished 4th in the league. Please remedy that.

    I go by NFL rules for draft order. It stops people from throwing games in the playoffs because no one cares about the consolation bracket.

    AP better come back strong. Considering he is a freak of nature I'm holding out hope. Luckily with Rodgers I won't miss Newton much.

    Well being this is a dynasty league, I think you should be fine. I don't know if he'll be the same this year but I am sure he'll be back to normal in 2013.

    Being you have Rodgers, I can understand getting rid of Newton. Nice drafting by you to get two of the top 5 QBs last year.

    No. This is fantasy football. You go by how people finished in the final standings. I finished 4th. I'm the 9th pick. Please correct it.

    This is not a debate. If you think I am changing my mind then you have another thing coming. I do not want people intentionally throwing games in the consolation brackets to determine their standings. Case closed.

    agree with this. The tendency is that if you are not in the prize bracket not to give a poop. This ends that. Theres no throwing games for a Trent Richardson or an Andrew Luck.

    I don't believe you should be able to come in as commissioner (something that no one else in the league was consulted on) and change the rules of the league. Especially in dynasty where consistent rules are the foundation of the entire league.

    I mean, you are free to leave the league. We arent binded here by some contract. I don't see an issue with the rule....it makes perfect sense. It effects you personally, so you have a problem with it, I get that....but it all boils down to one thing....if you don't like it. Quit. I, for one, am fine with Griddles being commish. Dude knows how to run these types of things....

    I wasn't consulted on when the next three months at work got loaded up with massive hardware deployments and new software training. If I could still run the league, I would.

    Griddles has run the GM League for years and knows what he's doing.

    The thing is, I dont believe we had a set format for how the draft process would work this year when we set up the league. Therefore while your experience is noted and has some validity to it, it never really changed anything. The only thing you were really going off of is your previous leagues which can be different then everyone elses previous experiences.

    Having done leagues like this for all 4 major sports, I can say unequivocally and unbiased that I like this format much better for the exact reason Griddles stated.

    Yup, no reason to use the consolation bracket for seeding when there is no incentive to win in it. That would be the only incentive, meaning the best thing you could do for your team would be to lose it, meaning the best thing you could do would be to start no players. I don't know why you would want that rule in place. And I don't understand complaining about inconsistency in year one. There hasn't been a change made, this is how its going to be.

    I'll tell you what... if half the members of this dynasty league want someone else as the commish, I will pass over the reigns.

    The draft will start on Monday (July 30) in a new thread. I'll probably make the thread sooner with all the details and explanations of how the offseason (well leading up to the NFL season) will work.

    Big E replaced NaboCane. Desides will be leaving the league because of a hectic work schedule and SICK's wife will take over his team.

    You should be up to date with that now.
