Here's the plan.
Plan a:
Arctos and hopefully two other captains (or three) will all be online next Saturday during and more importantly, after MoC. If all else fails, I'll let the newbies who want to play on the draft teams actually captain them, if they happen to be on. The season stats from last season should provide them with some idea about who to possibly pick.
I will post a full list of the draft pool players with the newbies separated, since they'll be picked first to waste slots.
We'll randomly randomize the draft order and go 1 2 3, 2 3 1, 3 1 2, 1 2 3 and so on and so on until each captain has chosen 20 players with a maximum of THREE players from any single squad, including the draft captain.
Like I said before, you only draft once. This is not like powerball, where you seem to constantly be picking players to your team like it's 4v4 back in 1998.
The players on the draft squads then make up an alias they actually want to be rostered on (you better do this way before any given Sunday, so we can confirm the player, and also because rosters will mostly be locked for free editing during the season). Draft rosters will not be edited during the season, other roster movement will be ok within some limits (round 6, which is about half the season).
Plan b:
Arctos doesn't show up, none of the people in the draft show up, and no one else wants to suddenly cap a draft team. We'll scrap the draft team idea, see if the draft newbies want to form a squad amongst themselves and get 0-12'd every game and go on with the season. Thus concluding that no matter how ofter people ask for a draft league, there's no way to pull it off unless it's a side league on a day that is not Sunday, or just make it the whole damn show which is risky.
In either plan: You do not have to draft yourself. You count as +1 player towards the limit of 20.
