My thinking is that we could do a quick turnaround reboot of this draft and fix / optimize the format. I feel we need to take the time to work on the Franchise format to make it consistent. We never did this the previous times we used Franchises. We also need to become more accustomed to the player pool.
Clearly a better format would be:
25 instead of 27 players
- Meaning 3xQUIZY and 2xWC (one less hitter and pitcher)
I think we need to rethink the Contemporary Hitter situation, by either abandoning the category for Franchise drafts or adding more Contemporary hitting slots.
- 5xModern hitters with only 25 players would be sufficient IMO.
- 4xVintage Pitcher / Hitter was more than adequate.
Flips - still think they are a good idea in this format, adding strategy and an additional random value modifier (players with multiple Franchise options have added value)
Any other ideas?
-----------------------
If enough people are happy with rebooting this draft, I'll put up some polls, we can optimize the format, and get started immediately
If we want to do something different, as usual, it will take a while.
I won't be able to get the BY Franchise data updated for a BY Franchise draft any time soon, and I will need Ken's help to pull all the eligible franchises that players could be drafted at (there are many more than this format).
The Peak Year data isn't really ready either. I have this data, but it's quite large and needs trimmed down. I don't really have time to do this now.
