    Aye.

    In future I think most will agree that we should just do one or the other to decide the winner.

    Aye..

    I enjoyed it but maybe a bit too prolonged. With 16 folk anyway, can maybe bring it back when less people are involved.

    I suppose 16 is a lot of people to get votes from tbh.

    I know the feeling though, when you get knocked out a comp early, sometimes you just can't be arsed voting afterwards.

    Well that's the way I feel anyway.

    What about the same type of draft but split into two groups ? Winner of each set of 8 play in the final. Obviously we'll have the a lot of the same players though. Or do you think all the teams would end up too strong ?

    As far as I'm concerned, if someone wants to run a draft, they can implement whatever format and rules they want. If people don't like it, then they don't have to sign up to it.

    As I've mentioned before, my next draft will be a straight up draft, where you pick four players that become ineligible to be picked, then we vote on the teams at the end.

    Sounds a bit like a draft me and Minty have done before.

    16 teams.. All 16 players picked 11 players each and then we were paired up at random. So 8 tag teams had 22 players and we made the best possible starting 11 using the 22 players.

    Twas a good un.

    Maybe do a few less picks per person though.

    Aye.

    I think by the time we reached 8 there was no need for any more, as I don't think anyone used any of the last 3 picks in their combined teams.

    It's pre-season so * all happening anyway..:56:

    The subs were a good idea to try and accommodate all the categories people had selected. Maybe was a bit too much tho as a lot hadn't read the Op so didn't realise that subs had to be selected.. :giggle1:

    Yeah I won't be doing the subs frequently, but I just thought it would be good to give people options for the first tournament we did. We can even do drafts where you have to make at least one line up change per match, keeps things interesting.

    Reading that back, it probably comes across worse than it sounded in my head. :56:

    Aye the subs allowed flexibility for the tournament and without them we wouldn't have seen such strong teams and an element of surprise in formations.

    Waiting on obaf, who has just PM'd me.

    Also waiting on Dear Hunter, who I've just sent a PM to.

    My votes were sent to JC Anton as he got his sent to me first.

    I think the tournament wouldn't be as good without subs and the ability to rob a player.

    Without being able to steal a player, it's essentially just a longer way of doing the votes.

    Sounds decent. Could even just start in pairs, would mean getting each other on all the time to discuss choices though.
