The past few mock drafts have truly been disappointing, but I feel that we can make this draft one to remember. :dribble: I'm looking for 12 active members(including myself) to be apart of this and determine who has drafted the greatest team full of the best basketball players ever to walk the Earth. The draft will consist of 13 rounds, the order will be drawn from a hat. Every other round will be in reverse order to make this fair. A total of 156 players will be selected in this draft, so it will take a lot of knowledge to build a great roster. I only want members who will be ACTIVE in this, so that means you must be approved by not just me, but all participants as well. If we cannot fill the 12-member limit, we will reduce the number to 10 members. Trades for picks or players are accepted, but they must be approved by me, and both sides must recieve an equal amount of players and/or draft picks.Official rules will be posted once everyone is signed up. I promise to everyone that I will not let this draft die, I am active enough to stay on top of everything. So please sign up! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Or you can PM me. :winkglasses:1) 808Hornetsfan2) SunnyD3) PFF4) valo355) Xholic6) noballer077) CelticFan8) CambyLand9) PrimeTime10) GArenas11) Mobruler12) CB4AllStarWaiting List:iFR3SHi
No. You're new here, so you don't know how many of these have failed, and how short a span of time. I speak for a lot of people when I say it ain't happening, and probably 3-5 of the most active people in prior drafts won't be in this one.
I appreciate the effort 808, but we've tried this way too many times and its failed each time. It's not even something the creater of the draft can prevent because members just stop caring about it after awhile and then half the league doesn't pay attention. Sorry but, this is no way this could work again.
Like I just said, its not on the person who starts the league, its on the people who join it. Even many active members with alot of posts tend to stop caring about this draft about the 7th round.
Hmm, well I've done 3 college drafts in a Madden Online league with 32 owners, so I don't see how this is unachievable. I might join, but it depends on how many more we get.
Sign me up, but I say let's wait until Mid-June to early July to start one.Are we drafting on potential, or if all the active players today retired?

You draft players based on if they retired today, not where they'll be when the retire, just like the last draft. :dribble:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SunnyD @ Jun 4 2007, 05:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>The last draft was if they retired today...</div>Which is what this draft is going to be based on. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. Come on guys, we can finish this and make it the first successful mock draft in the history of BBW!! :rock:

aww hell, explain the rules in detail and depending on how active you mean by active, I'll most likely sign up.I check this site out usually 1-5 times a day with the odd day where life keeps me away from the computer.if that's active enough, then I'll give it a try.

Also, it's nice to have a little time to figure out who you wanna pick, rather than having to choose a player on the spot with AIM...
