Getting leagues, draft positions= Christmas Eve



The Draft= Christmas



Baseball season= The New Year



Our Holiday's are more spread out than the winter Holiday's.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

What are you using to select this year Greg, randomizer, ping-pong balls, numbered beercaps?

We've used www.random.org the last couple of years. It has saved us HOURS of time and is great. Put the list of names from each city individually, shuffle everything up 10 times and out spits a complete list. League 1 is 1-15, League 2 is 16-30, League 3 is 31-45, etc. Then from there we run the KDS preferences which are all on an Excel spreadsheet from STATS and voila, we're done. Very easy to do.



Hope that helps.

I have 6 friends born on November 14th. Nine months before THAT day is a pretty obvious one.

Okay, what order of cities should be introduced? Damn, my homies in Las Vegas need to be rewarded, don't you think?? 11 leagues there is quite an accomplishment. Sin City might get some early love. What do you think? ;)

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

The best part of this whole process is that Tom and Greg ALREADY KNOW all the leagues, and they're -- well, maybe just Greg -- teasing us as long as they can.
