The Graves pick didn't count until 9am today, if nobody wants him thats his leftover pick for today.

I would say it doesn't count until he picks him after 9am EST today. So IMO Graves is still out there for anyone to draft.

Announcers don't really make sense to draft because ideally I visualize myself being in the crowd and taking in each card. So that's what I choose my pick on.

They make sense to announce taking the approach that it would be televised or broadcast. I don't think commentary or would completely make or break a card (well maybe if Kenny Fleurier is on commentary), but I would say it enhances it.

That is my view. Since I imagine which show I would rather attend, I just ignore announcers. Not everyone does, which is fine.

And FFS, do I have a target on my back this year? I can just visualize next round:

@GongShowWilly will take Pharoah.
@JackSlater will take Cody's neck tatoo.
@BostonBob will take Terry Gordy and evoke a drafting Freebird rule where a guy can appear on 3 cards.

I would never stoop low enough to take Rhodes' neck tattoo. It's second only to Batista's belly button tattoo in wrestling infamy.

Hello again to all you ATD fans,
It is I, The Genius
Here to do my song and dance.

This year @HandsomeHollywood is the best,
If you disagree you can cry like all the rest.

@Bogart likes to be thorough with his picks,
But to me it looks like his card will be the pits.

@Kaner9 will tell you he's a worthy adversary,
But his threat is so miniscule that it's one that I can't see.

@GKJ is a pusher-man of the wrestling of today,
When this is over he'll be lamenting his Rusev's Day.

@CHGoalie27 is so inferior,
I can outwit him with just my posterior.

@JackSlater has cards that often make the grade,
But to read them will take you more than a decade.

@theedge9 is really a sight to see,
No one with an intellect enjoys reality TV.

As for the rest of you, you will all be pounded into the ground,
As @HandsomeHollywood increases his renoun!

Oh boy - you guys work it out. :laugh:

Not to be a dick about it but I don't think this picks up for any kind of dispute. I didn't exactly rush to get him at the opening bell, either.


Easy there - I never said that you guys needed to settle this in a cage. I've just lost track as to which of OmniSens Free Agent picks were being allowed and which picks were not. Carry on.

Given that Mighty Duck Man took Graves with ample time for OmniSens to correct, and that OmniSens has had two issues with rules complete with restating of the rules, I'm inclined to let @The Mighty Duck Man have Graves.

One more time for the cheap seats...

Free agency days begin at 9amEST. The clock does not stop overnight.

You can select 2 picks a day during free agency. Tag teams count as 2 picks. First come, first serve, starting at 9am EST.

Free agency will go as long as people are still picking within reason. An end date will be made when the numbers of those picking get lower.

Leftover match stipulations are eligible to be claimed in free agency.

What do you think is a good amount of wrestlers for a Battle Royale with a new entrant every 3 minutes with pins, submission, over the top. 8? 10?

8 would be 24 minutes for entrants + whatever to finish.
10 would be 30 minutes for entrants + whatever to finish.

Battle Royal all the people start in the ring at the same time and normally take 10-20 minutes. Now a Royal Rumble(or some other half arsed rip off of it) is where they come out in intervals

Yeah I know. I just didn't want to call it a Rumble because I want pins and submissions. I also don't want to call it a guantlet.

I picked Battle Royale cause that's what it was in nWo/WCW Revenge.

8 seems kinda small. Man - I just had a flashback to an ex-GF. :(
I would be booking it like Final Four as in over the top will happen, but not like in Rumble where they go out quickly.

Ex-GFs suck.

I found a clip from the AWA during their "team Challenge Series" that had a half arsed rip off of the Royal Rumble, they referred to it as a Survival Battle Royal. 12 people, like 8 minutes(30 second intervals). I edited it my above comment

Hey @The Mighty Duck Man, I understand you're feeling quite cocky these days
Now that you've secured "difference maker" Corey Graves.

I have been in many brutish fights,
It will be no surprise when you're left staring at the lights.

To take a shot at @HandsomeHollywood is quite unfair
So you left me no choice but to kick your derriere.

Your yard is laughable and bare,
To walk in and contract tetanus, I wouldn't dare

My yard is fresh and clean,
So I do not appreciate your words so mean.

This year a lesson will truly be taught to you,
By the end your brains will be just goo.

For The Genius Lanny Poffo I am,
The world's smartest man.
