Can't find consensus on the Franchise draft format. So poll time.
This will be a letter-franchise draft.
Many players have multiple Franchise eligibility. How do we deal with it?
Option 1: 1 Franchise Per Player
You designate a Franchise when you pick a player. That Franchise is then fixed for that player, and is off the table.
Pros:
Determinate: Franchises become like Decades. Once a player is designated as a Franchise that Franchise is off the table.
Clearer options.
Easy to track with no manual requirements (apart from the initial "Rounds" entry: "pujolal01 2003 STL")
Full spreadsheet automation (error checking, available and taken franchises etc) with no manual tracking requirements.
Cons:
Not as much flexibility
Option 2: Open Franchise Eligibility
You pick a player and can switch his Franchise eligibility at any point, and as many times as you like.
Pros:
Flexible: you can switch a players franchise eligibility at will
More open options.
Cons:
Will require extensive manual tracking and error checking.
No Spreadsheet automation and error checking for Franchises. It will be impossible for the spreadsheet to keep track of all the switches, especially in the later game, and especially if players load up on multi-eligibility players.
The scoring spreadsheet will only come with basic franchise eligibility(s) listed for each player, and a space on the Snapshot page to manually trace your Franchise preferences ... nothing more.
