Since I haven't seen any objections, it looks like we will have 3 wrestlers on our rosters and we will go until Wrestlemania.
Expect the draft to start as early as tomorrow.
I still like the waiver rule. I will try and write something up for it before the draft is over for the league to review.

The only problem with three is the draft itself.
Drafts can go two ways straight up, and snake style. (Most fantasy games use the latter for balance)
Straight up the picks would go as follows. Round 1 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 Round 2 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
Theoretically, that means the person with the #1 pick would have the Best and the 13th best(average of 7th). Whereas the #12 pick would have the 12th and 24th(average of 18th). Thats a wide gap. So many use a snake style draft.
Snake style the picks would go as follows. Round 1 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 Round 2 - 12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Theoretically, that means the person with the #1 pick would have the best and the 24th best(average of 12.5) and the 12th pick would have the 12th and 13th best(aslo average of 12.5). This evens out the playing field and gives those at the latter part of the draft an equal chance.
But this only works when there is an even number of round. A 3rd round breaks that balance. But I don't think there is a big enough roster to justify a 4th round and feel like 2 picks is too small.
Not sure if there is a fair "fix", but thought I would point it out.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have been thinking about it, as well. It's a big reason why I haven't started the draft just yet.
Because I can't think of a fair solution, I was just going to see how it plays out. I feel like the waiver system might balance it a tiny bit. Not as much as I would like.
Another solution I was thinking about what seeing if people would like to do a round of NXT and then include NXT in the league. However, that will complicate the transaction rules because NXT tapes weeks in advance. Also, I don't know if everyone follows NXT enough.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

I don't watch NXT, so no clue about it. So I would rather not get it included.
I've been thinking about it more as well.
We could randomize each round. Or re-randomize just the 3rd round. A little convoluted, and wouldn't completely balace it out, but it would help.

Hmm...snake styling the first two rounds and randomizing the third round could help.
I think I like that.
I'll wait until AT LEAST tonight to see if anything else comes up. If anyone can think of anything else, please feel free. As you guys can see, I am pretty open to ideas. I want this to be as fair and fun as possible.

Ok, I think snake styling and then randomizing the third round might be the best option. If no one has any objections, I will get the draft going tomorrow.

Alright, guys...
I put everyone's name into a cup (I was too lazy to grab a hat) and randomly pulled from it to get the draft order. I then snake styled the first two rounds. After that, I put all the names back in the cup and picked randomly again to get the third round.
I will include the draft order in this post, but you can also find it at the bottom of the first post in this thread. The draft selections will be updated in the first post, so please check the first post for who has been selected and which person drafts next. After the draft is over, I will create a new thread that will be the one and only (CageKing?) official WWE Fantasy League thread that we will use until Wrestlemania.
A couple of things about the draft...
- I will send out a PM to everyone that signed up for the league as soon as I finish this post so that everyone knows the draft has started.
- There will be a 24 hour time limit on each pick. If you do not make a selection within 24 hours, then you forfeit the pick and will be allowed to fill your roster spot at the end of the draft.
- If you miss all three of your picks, you will be removed from the league.
- If you think or know you will not be around for your pick and will be unable to pick within 24 hours, please send me a list of wrestlers you would like to pick. The list should be in the order that you would pick them. The list should have enough wrestlers on in so that if the draft gets to you, there is a wrestler to be chosen. The list should be sent to me and me only to avoid confusion.
- Trades can happen during the draft. However, an even amount of picks need to be traded. By the end of the draft, everyone should have three wrestlers and three wrestlers only.
- Remember...the target start for this league is Summerslam. That gives us a little over a half of a month to get the draft done. I think we can get it done much sooner.
With all that said, if there are no questions, here is the draft order...
Draft Order
Round 1 1) stinger4christ 2) Fake Jesus 3) The One and Only CageKing 4) chaos X effect 5) SentaiMasterP 6) Tyger From Above 1979 7) The Trashman 8) No Name is needed Bro Beans 9) Square 10) Triple H buried Sns 11) Jazzman 12) "The Architect" Waffel113

One quick thing that's not related to the draft...
The waiver system became a bit clearer in my mind today. I hope to have something written up about it before the draft is over.

One last note for today and then I'm done. I promise.
I know some people change their names from time to time. I personally don't mind. However, if you do, please let me know so that I can adjust it in the official thread. I remember trying to run a pick-em league a few years ago here and it got very confusing with all the name changes from month to month. I think it will be easier to figure out who is who in a smaller league. That said...let me know anyway. Thanks!

Who all is available for selection? People on the current roster? Anyone that is employed by them? No restrictions?
IE can I take: CM Punk? Off current roster. Speculation blah blah Daniel Bryan? On active roster but injured. Hulk Hogan? Off current roster. But employed. Sting? Off current roster, but debut is coming.

However, just remember that this is a league based off of points. The only way to obtain points is for your wrestlers to win matches. If you have wrestlers on your roster who are not winning matches or even on the shows, then you will not be getting points. In past leagues I have ran, people have selected injured wrestlers and sat on them. Sometimes it was rewarding, but for the most part...it hurt their game.

Actually, it was Wednesday morning. I hate to skip people. I really do. In all my years of doing these leagues, I only had to skip someone once. I will if I have to, though. stinger has a little time left, though. Let's cross our fingers.
