NFBC Message Boards

I noticed the following rule:



16. Time Limit For Draft:There will be a 90-second time limit for each owner to make his/her pick during each round of the NFBC Satellite League draft. If a participant does not make a selection in the allotted time, the computer will select for that owner using MDC's overall ranking system.



I agree 90 seconds should be plenty of time, but in the unlikely event that a pick doesn't get made, having MDC making your pick for you could ruin your strategy. Can't there be a better solution?



Another similar question, what if the technologically challanged, such as myself, were to inadvertently make a pick by mistake and if recognized right away, will they be able to correct it?

We do stop the draft if you inadvertedly made a wrong pick. If somehow you got booted off or frozen and the computer made your pick, we can stop the draft and have done so in the past. That's why I don't want too many online drafts at once as we monitor every single one.



The solution is to pre-rank your players ahead of time rather than use the MDC ranking. But we need a default in case someone walks away and falling back on MDC's ranking is the proper solution. Again, pre-rank your lineup if you'd like to ahead of time and then the computer will pick your Top 200 in order, not MDC's.

Hey Terry, how goes it??? Are we on for lunch again on Sat. between auctions in Vegas? I'm game. I hope all is well with you and your family.
