          it's what we do right after the pre-pre-draft draft. Really a lot of fun.

            Allows people to draft their slots based on the actual draft order. We did this for most drafts on the new site, then just forgot. Most people just picked the highest available, but typically there would be 3/4 changes per draft.

            So something like this:

            Hacko picks draft slot 1
            DMT picks draft slot 2
            Feral picks draft slot 13 (3 becomes available for the next guy ... 13 no longer available)
            Heyelander wants the highest available draft slot, which is slot 3
            etc etc

            This has several purposes:

            - allows people who may be time constrained to pick a latter time slot so they don't hold up the draft as often
            - maybe someone has a strat that could better use an end turn slot?
            - maybe someone doesn't like drafting in the middle etc
            - better chance of getting a higher draft slot if others choose to drop
            - etc

            • Oh, cool. I suggested KDS earlier in this thread, which is a similar method.

                  • I assume WC are for letters only, no duplication of franchises ?

                    Also, i don't see anything about DB and Modern in the draft thread - so no limitations there ?

                      I'll update the rules thread when I get some time:

                      WC for letters only ... 3xWC, 4xQUIZY

                      A 27 round draft would normally be 5xQUIZY, but I have no idea if this format can sustain 5xQUIZY, 4 should be OK.

                      Limiations are: 4xMH, 4xDH, 4xDP

                        • And it looks like only the top two franchises apply to each player ? For example, Rickey Henderson not eligible for SEA Mariners ?

                            wait what? Henderson didn't play for SEA for 5 years?

                                No, as many as eligible count, but it has to be five years or the most years if no franchise for five years. Henderson only played for Seattle for half a season. Some players have three teams eligible--Nolan Ryan has four--TEX, ANA, HOU, and NYM.
