Competitions Awesome 2016/2017 draft game selection thread - starts Sat Dec 17th

[hendo8888]

Use the scoring system that's been outlined since before the draft. Can't change the goal posts once we've already drafted our lists, with that scoring system in mind.

 

[Allefgib]

changing goal posts always sucks

 

[Mego Red]

Sure. But voting took longer than the draft last year.

Hello fellow competitors, as you may have read several posts above, adelaidecrows is a bit busy to complete this competition right now. That's fine, because I have volunteered to continue running this competition through to its completion.

Let's get down to what will be happening in the next month

VOTING

As interest has waned in the game over the past few weeks, we will not be continuing with any more rounds of drafting. Unfortunately, an odd number of rounds has slightly disadvantaged some players like Kristof and Drugs, who had the last pick in both the first and final rounds, however it's too late now to correct this. Future games should have an even number of rounds to address this issue.

Every team at this point should be finalized and have their full team listed correctly in their team post. These team posts are vital to the voting process, so be sure yours is accurate.

To give people plenty of time to vote on everyone else's team (this has been a tedious process in the past, apparently), the voting deadline will be three days before the first AFL pre-season match. The voting deadline is Monday February 13th, 2017 at 11.59pm ACDT. This should give everyone three weeks to vote.

Every competitor in this game must vote on every other team in the competition. Failure to vote by the deadline will result in your team receiving a score of 0. You will also be publicly shamed and humiliated.

Votes should be submitted to me (Scorpus) via a DM before the deadline. Please try and lay out your votes in an easy-to-read fashion so I can quickly chuck the figures into Excel. Even better, just send me an Excel spreadsheet.

The results and winner by voting shall be revealed on Wednesday February 15th. The winner can bask in their glory before everyone realizes they actually have a crap team after watching pre-season matches.

SCORING PROCESS

We will be using the scoring process outlined in the OP.

At the end of the draft, we vote on the structure and balance of each line up.
Forward line (out of 15)
- 6 points; Aerial prowess (eg goals via contested marking, leading)
- 6 points; Ground level (eg goals via crumbing, goal sense)
- 3 points; Defensive pressure (tackling, speed)

Midfield (out of 20)
- 6 points; Inside skills (contested ball, clearances, tackling)
- 6 points; Outside skills (spread, speed, skill level)
- 6 points; Midfield depth (number & quality of players who can rotate through midfield)
- 2 points; Tagging (shut down ability)

Ruck (out of 10)
- 4 points; Tap work (hit outs to advantage in all ruck contests)
- 4 points; Around the ground (marking, pushing forward, dropping back)
- 2 points; Ruck cover (secondary ruckman)

Defence (out of 15)
- 6 points; Aerial prowess (marking contests, spoils, intercept marks)
- 6 points; Ground level (shut down skills)
- 3 points; Rebound (run and carry, kicking penetration)

Penmanship (out of 5)
- 5 points; Were your selections interesting and fun enough to bring life to the game, or did you half ass it and just name the player? We don't need Shakespeare, but we do need contribution!

This voting should be less about predictions of how teams will perform in the season ahead (too subjective). It should be more how they are rated at that point in time. All players vote on each team and each team gets a score out of 65.

Your submission to me via DM must contain a scoring full breakdown. Half-assing this is not in the spirit of the game. Plus, getting a full breakdown will allow me to award some teams with 'best midfield', 'best defence' and 'best forward line' trophies.

SUBMISSION CHECKLIST

When I have received your votes, I will update the following list of competitors to indicate this fact. You can also use the list to remind/shame/pressure/blackmail other posters into voting if they haven't done so.

As a courtesy, I will remind everyone who hasn't voted one week and one day before voting closes.

[Allefgib]

Good on you scorpus.

 

[Coopers]

I have updated my team list, and provided commentary just to highlight how awesome my team is.

Even the great SHAUN ATLEY agrees that the team is dominant without him, but put him in the mix and... wowee.

If anyone happens to do up a spreadsheet template... that would be nice.

 

[Coopers]

Just FYI:

SHAUN ATLEY TO THE MIDFIELD!!!!!!!

SHAUN ATLEY!!1111!!!ONE!!!111!!!!!!

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Need to add a category for overall hottest team too, following on from discussion in the women's thread

 

[I Lost My Keays]

It'll be another fortnight for me! Been swamped in my course

 

[Scorpus]

It'll be another fortnight for me! Been swamped in my course

Sounds like you're happy with a zero

(Although you'll still be in the game for the end of season scoring)

 

[1990crow]

I simply don't have time at the moment

 

[Maggsy]

Hey guys,.

I've created an Excel file with an easy to fill out format for anyone that is interested?

Have a looksee,. might be of interest,..

Cheers and happy voting..

Maggs.

 

[Maggsy]

My voting is completed.. I won't drop any names, scores etc, but I will say.. it's damn tight up the top..

Out of a possible 65 total.. my highest score given was 56 .. AND there are 16 teams between 49-56.

It was clear when I was going through everyone's teams that the majority of teams drafted well and had a great spread of talent..

Silly question.. but you don't vote on your own team do you???

 

[Scorpus]

Silly question.. but you don't vote on your own team do you???

You can vote on your own team but I won't count it

 

[Scorpus]

I have received votes from FAITH

 

[FAITH]

i have given my votes to Scorpus.

About 6 teams were nearly impossible to split

Edit: Faith FC was ranked no1.
