i never understood the 3RR, seemed like for 1 round it didnt do much. but to do it for the whole draft would be interesting.

including rookies in the draft would make it too big, imo. thats 15 more rounds

Was just throwing around ideas since there were some people who didnt like the idea of last place getting 1st in rookie drafts

I don't understand what you mean by this. Can you give me an example?

Like with your pick in the 4th round of the mega draft you could draft the rights to the first pick in the next Football rookie draft.

It's an interesting idea but I think for dynasty purposes it needs to be last getting first at least after the start of the league. For the first year it's an interesting idea

let's not get crazy. no on 3rr, and on the rights thing. we know from last draft that the 3rr turned out to be less equitable than a regular snake.

Another thing, we have the best owners from the other league this should be a healthy dynasty league. We've already decided to do dynasty rather than keeper. Let's not redebate it.

It's my understanding that you guys did it for one round in the other league. I would want to do it for the whole draft. How would that be less equitable than a regular snake? A regular snake is not equitable.

but are 4 or 5 spots in the 3rd rd of a 70 rd 3 sport draft really that impactful?

there was also so much trading by the 3rd rd, i cant even tell from our first draft who had what picks

So if we want to be as equitable as possible, we should do an auction draft. It can be done.

We can figure out an appropriate budget for every team. Let's use $660 as an example. Or it could be $600, $700, or $800. It's almost irrelevant.

But what would make it feasible is that we could do a message board slow draft with each team getting a certain amount of nominations. It would be epic and a lot of fun. And the most fair way to draft.

Not opposed, but we would have to probably skip baseball this year with the amount of time it will take

I'd have to pass on auction sorry. Too hardcore for me and forum based auctions have been a mess for me

Agreed, way too many players to be drafted for an auction imo. Would rather just keep it simple.

As awesome as an auction would be. I think it would be way to much.

Hmm... This is actually a very interesting idea. Think I like it.

It's a decent sized difference for the people drafting at the back end of the first (12th,13th, 25th instead of 12th,13th, 37th for the last pick).

the other league is almost done with its first season, so (and im hoping this isnt true) there might be openings there if anyone leaves, so interested parties could still hop in there.

Meh, I don't see much point in waiting. If we get 12 people I'd prefer to just run it, I doubt we'll have any issue filling the other league if there are openings.

Would you mind if I asked what might it such a mess?

Auctioning off all the players in 3 sports at the same time, might be super difficult. There isnt any software to support it obviously and it would take a super long time to do

Logistics

It's a moderator's nightmare to manage all the concurrent auctions

Like I really like auctions but I would really prefer not to do this in this context
