    Do you have what it takes to become the Ultimate Average Joe?

    Ok so you?re tired of single characters being team killers? You?re tired of ridiculous super powers? You?re tired of drafting the characters that will be able to compete to win and not the regular characters that you want to pick to win? Well then, maybe this draft is for you since we have none of that here. So go ahead and try his one on for size. This draft is gonna run a little differently than the others being that it is a trial. We are doing a mini trial/trail run for now just to see how she runs. So I am assuming that with only 8 GM slots open we will get mostly drafting oldbies that know the rules and can keep this moving really fast.


    I debated even stealing/posting this but it?s a draft so it deserves it. So for those of you familiar with the Draft Game, feel free to skip reading the rest of this post, and just sign up. For those of you unfamiliar, we'll provide a quick synopsis of how to participate and all that jazz. So I will ask it again, do you have what it takes? Chim does, so join him. Now onto business...






    [b][u]The Participants [/u][/b]

    There are three types of participants in this draft: The Commissioner, The Judges, and the GMs.

    [b]The Commish[/b]: That's me! It's my job to make sure the draft runs smoothly. I take care of the draft list, randomize the draft order, call the matches, and keep track of the winners. I also have an open PM box for questions, complaints, and bad jokes. Also bribes.

    [b]The Judges[/b]: There are three of these. It's their job to decide who wins the matches. They (sometimes) listen to arguments from GMs, and (sometimes) provide breakdowns on their reactions to picks during the drafting process. Also to take bribes.

    [b]The GMs[/b]: That's you. There are only 8 of these this go around. It's their job to assemble a good team(or bad, it's up to you). It's also their job to send in numbers (which we'll talk about in a bit), and to "pimp" their team in the eyes of the judges.

    [b][u]Assembling a Team[/b][/u]

    The bulk of the job of a GM, and the bulk of this game, is assembling the teams. This is done, mainly, through a drafting process. Once sign-ups are finished, a draft order will be published. When it is a GM's turn to pick, they should post in this thread the character they wish to select for their team. Be warned, however, that you only have 24-hours to select a character, so it is often a good idea to send a PM to the commish with a selection or two that you would like to make if your turn to pick is coming up soon and you might not be on. If your time expires, you will be "bumped" to the end of the round. If you are bumped twice during the process, you can be removed from the game.

    The draft order is reversed at the end of each round. So, if it begins this way:

    Team A
    Team B
    Team C
    Team D

    Then the next round, it will go

    Team D
    Team C
    Team B
    Team A

    And, we do that for 8 rounds.

    The other ways to fill rosters for teams is through free agency and trades. Free agency occurs only in periods specified by the commish. During these times, you post in the thread a player you are dropping from your team, and a player you are dropping from the available list. To complete a trade, two GMs must agree to the deal, and then both must PM the commish for approval. If the trade is approved, the Commish will post so in the thread. Trades must be x-for-x character in terms of draft picks and characters (i.e. no 3-for-2 trades or anything of the like are allowed, also, there must be at least one character being traded. You may trade a character for a draft pick, for example, but you may not trade a draft pick for another draft pick).

    [b][u]Competing[/b][/u]

    Once the draft is complete, once the 8 GMs sign up, the teams will be divided into two conferences .The teams in these conferences will play round robin, with the top teams advancing to the playoffs. The playoffs then continue in single-elimination until a champion is crowned.

    Play between te

    Holy Crow--these things are going like hot cakes! Nice. :cool:

    So Tyi has practically begged me for a Judging spot. I'm skeptical. What do you guys think?
