Panda's drafting theory

[Paid The Umpire]

1. The new 8 teams playoff, the top two get promoted.
2. Divide the teams into their divisions.
3. Teams get picks in following order
ORDER TO COME SOON!
4. Have draft.

Thats good i suppose

The eight new teams i think should get the middle eight picks or the last eight as they havent had time to see who they want to keep or not.
Then bottom to top teams for picks

I was wondering if u could swap players for ur good draft pick
if u wanted
8D 8D

I'll give you the order tomorrow.

There is a theory here?

Tell me, what was the current drafting theory..
Obviously Division 2 Losers (Tasmania) should get first pick.
But then do you go to Division 1 Losers?? or the entirety of Div 2 before Div 1..


Either way, in all fairness to those who have already obtained a team, I think that the new teams should get last picks, as inconveniencing to me as it may be :undecided:

They themselves should be decided who gets first pick amongst them etc by their results/performance in the trials they will be facing to work out what divisions they are in...

Alas, alack, I have sunk my own boat, but its the fairest way to go, to my mind.

Dave, you are so noble. Hah!

Here is my order

Division-Current Seasons Postion

2-8th
2-7th
2-6th
1-8th
2-5th
1-7th
2-4th
1-6th
2-3rd
1-5th
2-2nd
1-4th
2-1st
1-3rd
N-8th
1-2nd
N-7th
1-1st
N-6th
...
N-1st

With this system what it means is the new teams are sorted (by Blewwy) and the teams ranked 1st & 2nd get promoted to Div 2. With the others going to 3rd division.

What do you guys think?

 

[David]

That seems to work out quite fairly I guess, good job.

 

[The Argonaut]

The order look fine. I'd maybe have it so that the top of 1st division goes last therfore splicing in the new sides further up the list. In saying that I don't have any problem with what has been proposed.

 

[Blewy]

I think Paids way is the easiest and the fairest to current teams....

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Thankyou.

I think this will be the best because I have looked at some of the new teams (Dave's L-shire and Surrey) and Surrey look to have a brilliant team, at least on paper.
