DRAFT DAY

[With Ease]

Draft Day

When: 3:00 p.m. EDT

Where: ?go TWDT

Draft Order: Singer, Tiny, Flew, Trasher, Racka, Ogron, Rough, Zizzo

How To Follow The Draft:

Keep two browser tabs open, the DRAFT DAY (Teams) page, and the DRAFT DAY (Players) page.

Captains will select players from the (Players) sheet, and they will be added to the (Teams) sheet.

Bosshawk and Major Crisis have volunteered to handle both sheets. One will delete chosen players from the (Players) page, while the other adds the names to the (Teams) page.

One of those two (or a third mod) will run the draft from a private freq in ?go TWDT with the 8 captains, TWDT Ops, and sheet controllers on it, while the public is on the normal spec freq.

They will announce picks in green.

A Message From The Head of TWDT:

Good evening,

A reminder that the Summer 2019 TWDT draft is TOMORROW, JULY 7 at 3:00 p.m. EASTERN. The draft will be a snake draft, and trading draft picks is NOT allowed. Claus will edit in the excel spreadsheets showing the draft selections, and any additional information as it becomes available. Rules will also be finalized by the start of the draft, but the only substantial changes are that there are now 8 teams, 6 of which will make the playoffs, with the top two seeds receiving a bye in all 3 leagues for quarter-finals. After all six playoff teams are chosen based on overall win total, seeds 3-6 will be reseeded by performance in DTD/DTJ/DTB for quarter-finals. For semi-finals, the 4 remaining teams will again be reseeded by performance in each specific league. Thank you.

Signups and Ratings are LOCKED.

Important notes:

-Holy Ship was the final signup and is rated 7/7/7
-Peru quit and is not draftable
-Ease is not playing
-Rasaq and Mean Gene both said they weren't playing but later signed up, and are in the draft and selectable


I think that's all the pertinent info, Ease has the ratings changes he made in the main post.

Thanks!

Peru quitting actually makes quite an influence on the players than can be considered "anchors" on a DT-D team. Those not as strong in the division (namely Tiny, Singer [shown he can put up numbers in ship 1 tho], Trasher, Rough, Zizzo) have to think it very carefully who to capture.

many of the caps are strong javs, expect many of the javs to be prioritized last in the draft

Prediction top 5 picks: Myth, Zid, Turpin, Spezz, hulk/cape (myth zid turpin no particular order). Ogron/Rough/Zizzo will field any other top basers that havent been chosen (e.g. morph, hellkite, JAMAL, cripple, maybe more)

Thanks to Bosshawk and Majorcrisis2 for hosting the draft, much appreciated.

And thanks to With Ease for doing the ratings, rules, and prep work.

Shoutout Turban for his beautiful Google Docs draft sheet template which I've been reusing for 5 years, and to Wirah for the great work on the TWDT website and updating it with the current rosters.

Remember, the season starts with warbird games next Sunday at 3:00 and 3:30pm EDT.
