Considering if you draft 10th, you have no chance at a top 5 player. At least in an auction you can make people overpay for those players instead of just handing them over based on luck of the draw. in a draft, blind bidding on draft slots evens the field. simplest solution, other than switching to an auction.

[qb] I would absolutely love to see the NFFC and NFBC main events go to an auction format. I wonder if there is too much potential for collusion, though... Queens, i think that collusion argument is "VERY WEAK" , JP made that statement last year and i didnt agree with it then....please explain to me in detail, how with no trades, you can have collusion in an Auction draft???? [/QUOTE]it has little to do with collusion (IMHO), but instead it's the fact that auction drafts take twice as much time (if you're lucky).

While it might be 'nice' for drafts to switch to predominantly auctions, it will never happen

the length of an auction league is clearly not a prohibitive factor, evidenced by the fact that auction leagues exist and are very successful, the length certainly is not an issue to NFBC, otherwise they would not have them established in 3 major cities....an auction draft generally deteriorates to a serpentine style near the end anyhow, so sorry Dyv, dont get your point...
