Originally posted by Ken View PostRevo addressed this already but I'm happy to rehash (this is a mock I can't take it too seriously)
This is a mock draft. The goal of the mock draft is to help us see what players get picked/where, and put us into different situations in the draft format so we can see what players are left and give us practice for our upcoming drafts.
The bestball was an added bonus JUST to allow the season to play out. Some people wanted a real league, others didn't - best ball is a compromise that allows the season to be played out with an exactly 0 time commit. It's a great compromise that revo came up with to please everyone.
But the goal of the mock is not to win the mock. If you are trying to win a bestball league then you can probably win this mock. But we were trying to do a mock roto league. The fact that it plays out bestball is just for grins.

I'm drafting this thing to win it, as I was firmly in the "not mocking if not playing it out" camp."You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Also, I don’t spend as much time as I used to reading every post about what’s supposed to be a fun draft. Oops. I’m going for the W now!

I don't have time to waste on a mock for bestball since I'm not playing bestball. So I'll be just autodrafting (i.e. not ever looking at this league again).
I ... guess beating the autodrafters is something to be proud of! Good luck guys.

there is zero point in "playing out" checkers if we are drafting chess. I have zero interest in "draft for roto, but we are going to play out bestball/points"
I'd suggest scrapping this whole draft, and starting 2 new ones. A standard roto mock that will not be played out, and a separate one with this "bestball/points" setup. I'm very interested in playing in the 2nd."You know what's wrong with America?

Instead of needing to create 2 new leagues, why don't we continue this league how it was intended/setup (possibly resetting back to the point in the draft where things went awry), and if you are interested in joining a real bestball league, just go join a bestball league?

Does the draft run overnight or do we pause at a certain time?If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper
