    Welcome to the 23rd SWC Jedi Draft!

    [​IMG]

    Thanks to Bardan_Jusik and the SWC mods for supporting us and giving us a roof over our heads. This will be the final version of our Jedi draft prior to the destruction of all we have known, as the EU reboots with The Force Awakens.

    Doing my due dilligence as commish as we turn a page, I'd like to recognize some of the legends of this draft who have remained active and/or stopped by over the last few years:

    Darth-Horax - the first commissioner. The best commissioner.

    EMPEROR_WINDU and Ghost_Jedi, representing some of our old-timer champions.

    DarthIntegral and Yodaminch - they've been around since Pangaea.

    Wang_Chi and Mikaboshi, both of whom have gone under different names, but whose contributions to the concept of the draft in general on these boards has been immeasurable.

    And finally, to KenKenobi and Axle Maxle. Our own Maury Povich and Ricki Lake. I think they dated one summer. KenKenobi, you are not the father. But you are an awesome legend in this draft. Maxle, please come home for Christmas.

    In our last draft, Mod Man Pointy G knocked off the upstart team led by Skywalker, who struggled through a wretched regular season, only to make a historic run in the playoffs, which included knocking off Mikaboshi's Luke-led team. We've made a few changes to the draft board and rules, so please take two seconds to go through and read.

    Rules:

    1. VIPs - Colors - Titles: The winner of the Jedi Draft will be awarded VIP status and colors for the duration of one week. The winner also gets automatic entry and choice of pick position in the next draft. Mikaboshi - please let me know where you'd like to pick.

    2. Leave Your Problems At the Door: If any personal problems or disputes arise in the midst of the Draft, please refrain from playing them out in the thread. Take care of things outside the Draft, and if problems persist, contact either myself, or one of the Mods, and we'll see what can be done.

    3. Obey the Forum Rules: Talking and discussions is encouraged, so long as nothing gets too heated. Just follow the normal forum rules, (no flaming/spamming/trolling, etc.) and you should be fine. Please respect everyone else in the game; it'll work out better for everyone. It is understood that, in between and waiting for picks, we will banter back and forth - just remember to tie it up at some point and point the discussion back in the direction of the next pick and/or match.

    4. No Replacing the Commissioner: If I'm going to be out for an extended period of time, then I'll arrange for someone to act as temporary Commissioner until I return. GMs and Judges will not take it onto themselves to find a new Commish to fill in if I happen to be absent. But I think I'll be fine in that regard.

    ==
    Here's how the game works:

    Step 1: The Draft

    The draft will be snake-style, for example:

    Round 1:
    1. Team Satele
    2. Team Palpy
    3. Team Ewok
    4. Team Shaq

    Round 2:
    1. Team Shaq
    2. Team Ewok
    3. Team Palpy
    4. Team Satele

    We’ll go TEN rounds- for this draft, there will be no bench, all ten combatants will fight, every round. I’ll randomize the draft order after we conclude sign-ups, and the full list of available Jedi and Sith will be made available at that time (if not earlier).

    Step 2: The Matchups

    After each match has started, each GM will have 48 hours to send a PM to me, listing their numbers- this does not need to be in any necessary order. Here is an example:

    You drafted Darth Sidious, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Galen Marek, Yarael Poof, Tott Doneeta, Eeth Koth, and Savage Oppress.

    This is an example of what you would send in:

    1. Tott Doneeta (prepared)
    2. Eeth Koth TRUMPED with Darth Malgus
    3. Darth Malgus TRUMPED with Eeth Koth (notice the flip)
    4. Savage Oppress
    5. Yarael Poof
    6. Darth Sidious TRUMPED with Galen Marek
    7. Galen Marek TRUMPED with Darth Sidious
    8. Darth Bane

    If the team lineup is not received within 48 hours, your team lineup will be completely simmed. In this instance, you will forfeit your prep, and no trumps will be auto-created.

    ==
    Trumping:

    Notice the strategy of “trumping.” This can be used as a strategy, but is in no way required- however, should you choose to trump, you must list the trump both ways, as two separate numbers. The first number of the two represented by that trump will be used as the actual trump, and the second will be an auto-forfeit. If two teams match auto-forfeits, that particular individual match will be declared a draw.

    Trumps can be extremely effective, especially if you obtain two characters that have fought together throughout the films or EU extensively - this could play into draft strategies.

    **NEW** Pick Two List and Natural Trumps - you will see on the draft board that you have a list from which you can "pick two" in place of your normal selection. Once you select those two together, they are forever bound, and must always be trumped. Likewise, you will see some preselected trumps that we have listed - again, these only count as one pick, but they cannot be separated. When sending in your numbers, these natural and pick two trumps only count as number, and do not carry the auto-forfeit.

    ==
    Prep:

    You also will see that Tott is listed as “prepared.” You have one prep per round (thus, it cannot be used on a full trump), and gives the fighter access to the following:

    -One extra weapon that can be held with one hand (no crystals, vehicles, death-stars, satellite or remote controlled weapons, god weapons, etc.- be smart)
    -Any extra armor that is desired, with the understanding that speed may be taken into account
    -Any and all knowledge regarding their opponents that they can compile in a 24 hour period (previous battle results, shown weaknesses and tendencies,etc.)

    Prep does not allow bringing any other living beings into the arena, be it pets, buddies, or mothers.

    Darth Bane, with prep, receives his Orbalisk armor. Without prep, he does not have it.

    ==
    Weapons:

    Those who are known to only use double-bladed saber will use their double-blade for every match, and will be able to bring an additional hilted blade into battle when prepared, if so chosen by the GM. Light whip users will use their light whip for each match, and will be able to bring another hilted blade into battle when prepared, if so chosen by the GM.

    Characters that traditionally carry blasters and thermal detonators with them will have access to them without using prep - no rocket launchers, please. This is important - if you have a question about what will be allowed for a character you are interested in, ask me BEFORE you draft them. We avoid any issues down the road that way.

    ==
    Locations:

    When each matchup is announced, a corresponding location will be announced. All eight matches will take place in this location. Locations can be beneficial to certain characters with familiarity, and problematic for others - this should be taken into account when setting up your team and sending in numbers.

    ==
    Team Battles:

    So, you may ask, what happens if we get to 5-5? The answer is a glorious team battle, a giant free-for-all to break the tie. These are quite fun, and while picking, abilities such as battle meditation, etc. can be taken into account as helpful tools, should you ever find yourself in a team battle.

    Step 3: Conferences and Playoffs

    We will have two 5-team conferences. Each team will play every team in their conference, and two teams from the opposite conference. After six matches, ALL teams will enter the playoffs, seeded 1-10 based first on overall match record, second on individual battle records, and third on a coin flip. Seed 7 will face Seed 8, and Seed 9 will face Seed 10 in the "play-in" round. The winner of 7-8 will play the second seed, and the winner of 9-10 will play the top overall seed in the first round of the 8-team tournament. More will be posted on this when we reach that point, but the main point is - don't give up, even if you go 0-6 in the regular season - you still have a fighting chance at a title. Doubting this? See Skywalker and Jordan from last draft.

    Here are all of our old drafts, with champions listed, for you to refer to:

    22. 2014: Only a Bith Deals In Absolutes (Winner: Point Given)
    =
    And finally, a brief word from me- this draft is, and has traditionally been, a whole lot of fun - it is made so by active users. We will have 10 GM spots, and 2 additional judging spots - when you do commit to a GM spot, just recognize that it may take a few minutes a week to drop in and check on your team, throw in an argument or two, or send in numbers.

    Those who wish to be judges will need to PM me before they will be named, if you have not judged this draft before.

    With that, sign-ups officially open:

    Quick question. Can we trump two natural trumps/pick 2's together? I kinda like the idea of sending four characters to gang up on one. :p

    Good call - thanks. I realized Obi-Wan, Ulic, and Dooku weren't on the list right before I posted it too. Any issues you find, point them out.

    Edit - And PG, you get to choose your draft position. Ruminate on that.

    I'm still wondering about my question. :p

    Personally, I think it should be fine. Sidious went against a 4 Jedi trump and still arguably came out on top, and those Jedi has Mace Windu on their side. :D

    Oh yes, apologies - yes, you absolutely can trump two natural trumps, or three, or however you want. In those cases, just remember that you will carry a forfeit, just like any other trump.

    And Mace Windu beat Sidious.

    Feel like GM'ing a team? We usually fill this thing in less than 24 hours, I'm a bit concerned at how long this is taking. If we need to roll with 8 teams, so be it...Jedi.

    It may be taking longer due to it being a holiday week.
