BBFFL#2 2019 Discussion

@redbull can we please get feedback on selection timer?

Come_Back_Hirdy · March 10, 2019, 10:49pm

It’s still before 7am in Singers - I’m sure he’ll be up soon.

FWIW, I agree that three hours is a bit short, but I wouldn’t be opposed to making it four or six hours. If worst comes to worst and you can’t get online in that time you don’t lose the pick, you just get pushed down the order.

I could live with six hours, 4 would still be too short imo.

Maxx · March 10, 2019, 10:56pm

Well I hope I don’t pick Mumford at 2!

saladin · March 10, 2019, 11:05pm

You can change the order.

wezza · March 10, 2019, 11:10pm

you can still make an list of players in order and have it auto-pick (either after time expires or straight away)

The_Melkman · March 10, 2019, 11:18pm

Given the feedback, I’ve changed the max time between picks to six hours in UF.

redbull · March 10, 2019, 11:32pm

Thnks @The_Melkman.

Just for background we moved to 3hrs once we got going last year. However I understand the reasons for making it 6hrs.

Good luck to everyone with the drafting.

Birch19 · March 10, 2019, 11:32pm

Yeah I know, but I place a priority on a balanced list. Auto pick is all well and good but can leave me with too many of a particular position depending on what’s gone before.

Stoops · March 10, 2019, 11:47pm

Draft page is open for those that want to change their pick settings

The_Ant · March 10, 2019, 11:47pm

So should be done by the bye round then!

The_Ant · March 10, 2019, 11:48pm

Do we get notifications that it’s our turn?

Or should the previous pick tag the next pick here?

Maxx · March 10, 2019, 11:49pm

12 minutes to go… still undecided on first pick.

I believe UF will send you an email when its your pick. EDIT - UF gives you this option when in the Draft Room.

Alternatively I am sure other coaches will message you on here!

The_Melkman · March 11, 2019, 12:02am

Tagging the person always a good idea.

You can see if other coaches are ‘online’ on UF if they have a green dot next to their name in the draft room.

Maxx · March 11, 2019, 12:02am

I went Rankine.

ivan · March 11, 2019, 12:05am

I was tossing up between duursma and Smith for my first pick, my decision was made for me. Very happy to welcome Smith. Looks the best rookie mid behind Walsh in the draft

Stoops · March 11, 2019, 12:06am

That was basically my call too, a bit nervous passing on Smith but happy with my selection

ivan · March 11, 2019, 12:09am

It was a very tough call. Duursma looks to have serious potential as an intercepting, distributing backline/Midfield general. His jlt was super. Thanks for making my decision for me, I guess,

redbull · March 11, 2019, 12:09am

So we are at @The_Ant already

Good start by everyone
