To all ABL owners..
When the Draft Pool is available in the game. We will take a few days to get our bearings and then kick off the annual first two round draft on the Slack and the Forum.
Please use the draft pool/list that is in the GAME, not the draft pool that is on the ABL website reports.. Those reports are not always accurate and the player may not
be able to be drafted in the current year draft.
For the new guys this should be all of the information you need for the draft. For you PBL vets, please review. Thanks.
We will draft the first two rounds on Slack and depending on how fast we go possible Round 3. Otherwise Rounds 3 and beyond will be done in game, when we reach the draft in game.(Fill out your draft lists in the game for rounds 3 and beyond)
Please enter your pick on Slack like this.... (Your Team) selects (position)(Players name) with(your pick number). Example: Reds select SP Joe Somebody with #3 pick..
Updated: The Commish said with the use of Slack, team have a 6 hr time limit to select their pick in the first round, then 3 hr time limit in the second round. I will be happy to grant extensions as needed. Just keep me informed. At the end of the time limit if I have not heard from you I will auto pick for you. Caution. We like to keep this thing moving and I am usually on the forums a couple times a day or PM me on Slack(kendalld00reds). Please note that the draft will stop at 11pm and re-start at 8am the next morning.. Teams on the board will be contacted that night to help keep things rolling.
If you plan on receiving an auto pick,Please inform me at your earliest convenience so we can keep the draft moving. Do not be the guy that gets the timed out auto pick. That is bad MOJO.
On the other hand, submitting short lists to me prior to when your pick is up keeps the draft moving and is very good MOJO.
Yay for short lists. Boo for timed out auto picks.
The auto pick list is generated by the Reds scout in game. I ask my scout to generate a list and that is what I auto pick from. Caution. The in game scout are not that smart.
I will do my best to notify GMs when their pick is coming up (I usually do a pretty good job). Try to keep an eye on the boards though as it is ultimately the team's responsibility to know when they are on the clock.
There will be a Forum thread titled "Players taken by last name" after the first couple teams pick. Go ahead and quick check the availability of your guy there to avoid the embarrassing "Player has already been picked" statement that I love to type...
TRADING DRAFT PICKS......... Traded Draft Pick must be posted in both the Submit a Trade Thread and 2018 Traded Draft Picks Log(sub-board in Submit a Trade Thread)
Draft picks are available to be traded on Jan.1 and up until the time that pick is on the clock. Picks on the clock cannot be traded. Please do not ask for leniency on this as exceptions would not be fair to the guys that have already been denied. Remember that it does not matter when the trade talks had commenced. The trade needs to be recorded before the pick is on the clock. Note.. Players selected in the draft can not be traded until after the World Series of that season.
Any draft related questions or concerns send me a PM or bring them up here.
