How is the voting being carried out for this draft?

With 16 teams I believe it would be better to have either a

- group of 4 teams each with top two moving in to the next round or
- have a knockout (one v one) format right from the beginning.

Having to choose top 3 sides (the traditional way here in drafts) out of 16 would be a huge task for voters.

 

[Pothas]

These teams are going to be pretty much impossible to split.

 

[Himannv]

I think it’s abundantly clear that my team is the best.

No, it's not. You've only got 10 players!

Very good points and something I've been considering for quite a while. All suggestions considered.

I like the groups of 4 option.

Not enough Clem Hill.
