All-Time Draft #6 (con't)

[Frightened Inmate #2]

OUT.

Still drop by and give your opinions, it is just that the draft needs a certain pace to it in order to keep people interested and a week in between the start of series is really stretching it in my opinion as look there was a flurry of posts right off the bat and then in recent days it has slowed to a trickle

 

[shawnmullin]

Wait, I thought our stuff had to be in by tonight. Was it last night?

Well **** guys, sorry for not comming through there.

 

[shawnmullin]

Oh, never mind, you guys went ahead of schedule... well boo!

Where are the results anyway??

 

[Murphy]

Mullen, you still have time, pick the team to win, in how many games and three stars of the series.

I think we still have time to vote. I actually sent my results in Thursday, since I wasn't sure how my weekend would pan out. (I'll resend them just to be sure). But there's still a few hours before the deadline.

I think Elvi set up the Round 2 polls to get the debate going. Let's face it: we knew these matchups a while ago, so I don't see the harm.

I think most of us have busy sched's in December. I know I have to do a month's worth of work in 20 days. This is sort of the trial run for our playoff system. That's not to say we asterisk the champion of this draft. But there will be some kinks to work out. I would like to see a quicker voting procedure, but that's because I don't want to be trying to decide who should win a series between New Jersey and Burnaby (using them as examples) in the middle of December.

At the same time as I stated in another PM if you stagger the threads there won't be that overload of 8 active threads on the subject which will just bog discussion down. All the real discussion happens within 2-3 days after that it is a broken record from two different perspectives it seems (look at the Leafs series for instance)

 

[shawnmullin]

OK, I was confused I thought the results were out all ready.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

I had to leave early for work today (Due to a combonation of rough weather and errands that needed running.) So, I never put up a last call announcement.

With that said. Please have your votes in by midnight Pacific Time tommorow. I'm going to start writing up and processing the results tommorow, but more votes won't be a problem.

So. Round one votes are Due: Tommorow Night

Thank you, hopefully I can do as good a job as my imagination.

 

[Murphy]

We're missing some of the first round matchups, are we only doing 4 per week I assume?

I was going to throw the rest up today as discussion in the others has faded

 

[Transplanted Caper]

When are Round Two matchups due? I'll probably be doing them tomorrow afternoon regardless but I just wanna make sure I'm supposed to do them all at once

 

[BM67]

Vote for all of the series. They were just trying to stagger the discussions, but there doesn't seem to be too much discussion going on.

What was the final deadline last time? Tuesday midnight?

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

tuesday works. I work this Wednesday, so the results may be more staggered.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Guys, sorry for not being around much the past few days... there were some family issues I had to deal with. I'll try my best to post some commentaries tomorrow or Tuesday.

No worries man, it is afterall only a fantasy draft. I've been trying to tell myself that as I attempt to study for exams. Hope everything is ok.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Let me get this straight. We're only voting for the #2 vs. #3 playoff round (Clippers vs. Whales, Mets vs Blazers, Bruins vs. Maroons, and Spartak vs. Citadelles), or are we also voting for the #1-#4/#5 round?

We're voting for all the series. Or at least the ones we're not involved in. (Speaker, you wouldn't vote in the Boston-Montreal series). The match-up threads were staggered, but the voting was not. Don't forget to include three stars. GMs that have been eliminated are still free to vote.

Nalyd, how many GMs have voted?

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

I got exactly 50% so far.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Remember, votes are due tonight.

And, as voting stands, we'll need to determine a tie breaker for me to use as two series are currently tied and another is divided by one vote.

 

[God Bless Canada]

Do we still only have half the votes in? Or have a few more votes trickled in?

I believe the number of games required is the first tie-breaker. Not sure how you would calculate that one. I guess tabulate the total number of predicted wins and losses for each team (using Boston-Montreal for example, if someone predicted Montreal in 7, and another person predicted Boston in 6, that would be a 7-6 edge for Boston) and whoever comes out better wins. If their still tied, my suggestion would be the higher seed, but I think I'm in a bit of a conflict of interest on that one.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Yeah, the scary thing is, I think both may require a second tie breaker beyond game predictions.

And, yeah, some more votes came in this mourning...

 

[BM67]

Total votes is the first factor.

If tied then total wins, 7 game series is 4-3, 6 game is 4-2.

If still tied then the 1st star of the series is the next tie breaker.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

The question is, if the goalie is 1st star, do they still get to score the game 7 overtime winner?

 

[BM67]

Well maybe in 1 series but not in 2.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Voting is closed, one series uses the 2nd tie breaker. (And only 4 points seperate the 1st and 2nd star, almost needed a 3rd tie-breaker.) 3 series go to 7 games, 2 to 6, 2 to 5 and 1 series is a sweep.
