TWDT 24 Free Agency Sign Up

[renzi]

Lol imagine arguing on a free agency sign up forum thread. #TrenchWars2022 lol

ooooooh i see a tiebreaker between power and kickers...LOOL...this guy...

[Tiny]

Is ogron ok? what in the fuck are you ranting about? I did not read the rules, i only used the same tie breakers we have always used and tossed the scores in a spreadsheet. it took 5 mins. If it changed, huzzah, who cares lol....did you lose in a tiebreaker or something? still dont know what the rules are besides ogron copy pasting the coin toss. Someone figure out why he's so angry please.

Wouldnt that also benefit the teams with harder schedule to start the season as they are more likely to have smaller amount of wins by the end of week 2. Benefits: easier schedule for the rest of the season and probably better FA pick than they would deserve on average.

Yes... see my footnote:


I think FA is problematic and the current system has a lot of room for improvement in future seasons.

Racka implementing the 0.5* tax, however, is a great move and step in the right direction.

FWIW, I also think simply awarding the #1 FA pick to the team with the last pick in the main draft also suffers from issues, namely that in many TWDTs having the late picks is better than having the #1 pick, while having the #1 FA pick is almost always better since there's fewer good FAs than there are teams.

it should be fairly evident to anyone with more brain cells than you that a team could have a signficantly easier schedule to start a season, making using a points tiebreaker incredibly stupid*. if both teams go 0-4 in WB and we play the worst 4 teams and lose 50-40, and you play the best 4 teams and lose 50-20, points across leagues will favor one team despite the fact they would likely score the same amount of points once the season is complete.

stop with the pathetic attempts at manipulating the draft order and accept your 50/50 odds at the better pick.[/SIZE]

It is not that black and white as you are stating, its only one angle to look at it. If the rules have been like that since the beginning of the season, I dont see any reason why we wouldnt go by that rule. Disclaimer: i dont know was it like that from the beginning or was it added later.

If there are any ties between teams, it will be randomized to determine who picks first

of course tiny trying to write some fan fiction tiebreak nonsense so his team gets a better pick, when racka is obviously going to randomize whoever is on the same amount of wins 2 weeks into the season.

ignoring the fact that rules state that the tiebreak procedure is "for seeds #1/2 and for determining which teams make the playoffs" and not FA:

1) teams play each other 3x this season (the rules are copy-pasted from when they played each other 6x and you sometimes had to go to points) meaning head-to-head is the ONLY tiebreaker needed between 2 teams
2) points across leagues is tabulated at the end of the season once you've played each team the same amount of times

*yes, i'm aware this would also make using amount of wins to determine who gets the higher FA picks dumb, which it is.

[Tiny]

Pretty sure it is below...assuming we are going head 2 head first and then points across leagues. 4 ties, and 2 ties had not played each other yet, so points

1. Treyway
2. Win or Die
3. Terrorist - 568
4. Crusaders - 519
5. Power
6. Kickers
7. Phoenix - 560
8. Prayer - 527
9. Malevolent
10. Snakecharmer
