Remember it is an opt in 9. DRAFT 9.1 Each Draft will have two dedicated threads, the Draft Thread for player picks only and the Draft Discussion Thread for discussing and disparaging those taken picks. 9.2 Each live pick is taken in the order detailed in the Originating Post of the Draft Thread 9.3 Each pick selection should state the pick number, player's first & surname and the AFL team he plays for 9.4 Coaches are required to ensure that the player selected is available first. Onus is on the coach to pick an available player 9.5 If an ineligible player is picked and subsequent selections are made by other coaches prior to its discovery their selections will stand 9.6 The coach that made the error will have to pick from the available pool at the time. 9.7 Available players are as detailed in the OP less any picks taken since the last list update 9.8 If for some reason two people manage to legitimately pick the same player, resulting from timing around a scheduled pick and a skipped pick, the post with the earliest time stamp is the one who keeps him. 9.9 Each coach will have 18 hours to make their selection, after which time that turn is skipped, if they have not posted by the time any subsequent picks come up each pick will be given at least 6 hours and then also skipped 9.10 Skipped picks can be taken at any time, please state in the post that it is a skipped pick along with the standard pick info 9.11 All coaches are required to "Watch thread" the Draft Thread via the ts interface, with or without email is a preference choice 9.12 All coaches are required to provide to the commish a secondary means of contact, email or mobile or both as preferred 9.13 Coaches that repeatedly slow the draft process should expect good natured abuse, and even some not so good natured 9.14 At the end of each draft all teams will have a squad of 28 AFL contracted players
Going to be a very short draft; @churchboy @bama @PhilArthur @Lenny120 @JC @Bandit I'm extending the delist to 9pm Sunday 14th
I don't think we should extend the deadline in future, unless there's strange circumstances to warrant it. The delist deadline was confirmed about 8 days in advance of the deadline this year. 8 days should be plenty of time for people to get organised to announce their delistings in time. I didn't do it this year, but there have been times over the years where I've delisted an extra player just before the deadline because not many teams were participating, and then the deadline was extended and more teams got involved, and I wouldn't have made the extra delist if I'd known. Anyway, I don't know if it matters that much, just my 2c.
I think maybe the bye, then game, then mid season 'break' nature of thr fixture may have caused some issues too. Might be something to think about for the next fixture that is compiled.
