This is the official discussion thread for the 2016 Draft a Franchise game. Please move all discussion here now and out of the announcement thread. Thank you.
PLEASE READ:
A couple things to remember before we begin:
1. Head coaches are available to be drafted as well (basically any coach is available for that). However, no drafting someone to be a coordinator (optional continuation only for this)
2. It is 12 hours per pick, but this will be reduced if you are skipped. The first skip does nothing, just a warning really. Every time after this, your draft time is cut in half. So skip number two puts you at 6 hours to pick, then 3 hours and so on.
3. If you know you won't be around (or are worried you might not be) and you are close to being up, please forward your draft board (a few picks) to someone to select on your behalf (and notify everyone by saying that in the discussion thread). Usually if you have time, ask in the thread if anyone is willing to take it. Also, boards are usually sent to people who won't be up for a while, just as a precaution if you are worried about people seeing your draft board. Example: If you are off to bed and up in a pick or so, send off your board to someone. This allows us to keep the draft going at a good pace. Trust me, long waits are annoying. Especially if you get a couple in a row.
4. No trading of draft picks.
5. Please turn on notifications for being tagged in posts (the tags are these things @Mt. Crushmore). This can be done in your settings. This allows us an easy way to notify a member if they are on the clock or almost on the clock. It is easy than a PM and everyone can see once someone has been notified. Everyone can contribute to notifying people so don't worry, you'll be notified.
6. Make sure to post a roster in the directory thread and continue to update it after every draft pick.
7. After you pick make sure to put it in the big board.
8. Please do not discuss players that haven't already been taken. Once a player is selected you can talk about how he is such a steal, etc.
9. Draft starts in a few minutes with @ravensdan.
10. Have fun!
Also, please take note of this, which I put in the draft thread:
If a team has been skipped, still use your original draft pick number. That keeps it simple. Also, if you have been skipped, please mention that your selection was skipped when you pick.
