good evening gentlemen. it looks like we have a very competitive league. can't wait to meet you folks on draft day

Just curious. What would have been everyone's draft position, if the selection was done in the traditional manner?



I got my third choice and the third pick, so no harm, no foul.

i believe the #5 slot was around my 10th preference. kind of amazing that the 5 spot would fall so low

hey Gordon nice try there becuase if that was the case I would have pick #5 and I would demand a recount!

I wound up with the 12th pick and would have preferred 5 or 7. Gordan: What are you basing your "competetive" call on?

I had the 5th pick as my 4th choice , and 7th as my 6th pick..so its impossible for you to have had 5th pick as your 10th selection..

I UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T SAVE MY PREFERENCE LIST AS I ASSUMED WE WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT PAGE UPON LOGGING ON TO "MY PREFERENCES"...ALAS IT WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE...DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS REMOVED

One of you guys is obviously mistaken.

mikee must be mistaken

I was going to post that Greg/Tom should post the preference next to the draft pick. Something like this:



1. Jack Nicholson (2nd preference)

2. Keanu Reeves (1st preference)

3. Harvey Keitel (14th preference)

and so on



However, I kind of like the secret of where everyone WANTED to pick. So long as we all trust Greg/Tom (and I assume we do), the current system is the best way.

[/QUOTE]I'll agree with that. Two additional points:



(1) Is it extra work for Greg/Tom to show the preferences?



(2) Is it necessary?

(2) Is it necessary? extra work - for this year it would be. i would hope that everything is automated going forward



is it necessary - imagine doing FAAB without having the highest bid amounts posted. the only thing that would be posted was the KoQ was able to pick up Player X. leaves us a bit unsatisifed, doesn't it.



now in my case, mike is telling me he had slot 5 valued before slot 7 (slot mike received). i had it reversed and valued slot 7 before slot 5 (slot i received). obviously someone is mistaken. it would be nice to see what mike's preferences actually were.

perhaps this should be brought to Greg's attention off-line, so as not to arouse a conspiracy theory.

no conspiracy thoughts here. mike must be a master of disinformation

Just to add my 2 cents here. #5 was my #1 preference and I got pick 10 which was my 2nd preference. Gordon you had to have 5 as your #1 or something got messed up in the draft preferences. Not necessarily, of course assuming Gordon was selected ahead of you. If he had the #5 pick as his top remaining choice, it would be completely irrelevant where you ranked that pick.

[/QUOTE]KoQ is correct. if my preferences were evaluated before yours, your rankings wouldn't matter as they relate to my slot.



with that said...i KNOW i had slot #5 ranked low...below slot 7 and slot 10 i believe!!! i will know monday morning EXACTLY where i had it.

ah ha...that makes perfect sense. I wasn't positive how the preferences worked



looking forward to meeting and competing against you guys.

Please note the correct order for this league. My apologies for the mistake on Friday.

wow! A change I'm glad you made that comment GG, becuase I knew exactly what my preferences where and it just didnt make sense to me. I'm glad it was fixed but thats a perfect example to why in the future I think it needs to be shown what preference it was just to avoid an error. I trust Greg and Tom fully but this just saved me 2 spots in the draft I'm not sure who else if anyone was switched other then myself and GG.
