Originally posted by Ken View PostYeah I have an algorithm that will run it, but basically its just an optimization engine that's shooting for everyone to get their best slot based on their choices. The easiest is the solo choices, so if you are the only person who wants pick 7, you get pick 7. When there are ties, it looks at what is left and tries to give the pick to the person who would lose the most if they did not get their preference. In other words, if you and I both want pick 7, but my 2nd choice is 6, which is available, and your 2nd choice is 8, which is already taken, you'd get pick 7.

I'm in but would like to see us do a 15-team league I think (or even 18 like RJEL) and maybe alter some of the rules as I emailed you Keith. Busy, but in a work from home environment doing these is easier to pull off and I kind of miss the Slack chat we had going

Really enjoyed the first draft regardless. As a critique I'd just change the draft order decisions. Honestly the idea of having each individual go in and choose one by one really punishes those who are last in the order. At least with some kind of KDS system it is blind, but with how it was setup on this one, those who were lucky enough to get early numbers got to go in and look and pick based on what was already taken. That's a worst case scenario, if you are one of the last few it's basically like everyone else getting to strategize and you just sit there and watch. Not fun! (but again, the rest of the draft was great)

Originally posted by frae View PostOk I posted on the slack channel. If we can get 15-18 people let's look at breaking up the major league and farm drafts. Doing two KDS draft selections with Ken's system. Go back to BA. Smaller rosters of 20 farm players with less owners would be fine. I am open to ideas.

Originally posted by Big Tymer View PostWorks for me. We'll have to decide who is eligible for which draft. Take Gavin Lux - prospect but has MLB service time. Separate drafts are a good wrinkle from the last version as it will apply a governor to my natural instincts

Originally posted by frae View PostSo is there a way to run the system where we could pick to have the first farm draft pick as our top priority and not Care about our major league slot? Could you double the preference size and say 1-15 are major league slots, and 16-30 are the minor league slots and if I want the #1 pick in the minor league draft I could make slot 16 my top priority? I don't know how this works just looking at a way to let people choose which draft they care about more.
