    Schedule Options

    This isn't the official schedule thread. Reason being is that I'd like some input on two possible scenarios. One would have us finishing the first part of free agency completely before starting the draft. The other would have us starting the draft in the middle of free agency as usual.

    I'd like to slow things down a little bit and I think pushing the draft back could help accomplish that. Plus, it allows you to have a better feel of where your team is before drafting.

    In regards to July 4th being in the middle of the draft in Scenario #1, we'd probably turn time limits off that day .. for Coder of course. :lol:

      I like the slower pace. I like so slow and tender, not fast and rough.

          Good question. I know it won't be the most popular time, but 9 pm central is going to work best for me this summer. I'll be sure to add this to a stickied schedule thread once a scenario is picked.

            I prefer the slower pace whether there were other rationale or not ..

            However, in 2k7 there are other things to consider.

            1. I believe that interviews end at the end of FA with the intent that they must be completed before the beginning of the draft.

            2. If the draft begins while FA is still in play, an unfair advantage would shift to those with later picks because they would still have interviews available.

            3. There are only 12 stages opposed to the twenty stages in 2k4. Not as laborious as before.

            With all this said, I believe the slower pace of letting FA end before the draft begins is the best approach. IMHO

              slow pace is fine...if you go fast pace you make a house rule that requires all interviews must be used by draft start even though the game doesnt require that.

                The 12 stages are nice, but we were pretty much doing that before by combining stages together. I half-knew about the interviews, but I guess I need to look into that more. I was using the IHOF schedule as reference and they started their draft in the middle of free agency.

                  How could you police that though? And I'm surprised IHOF or any other league would start the draft in the middle of free agency with this is mind. I have to be missing something here.

                    Okay, well it looks like VPI found an easy way to make certain everyone used their interviews by stage 6. Didn't mention what that was though. Unless anyone has any strong objections, I say we just roll with scenario #1. It barely even costs us any time.

                    And I'll add the preseason to the final schedule BTW.

                      Hell.. with 4th of July being off you should put the draft-timer at 20 minutes instead... EVERYONE'S HOME!!

                          i dont know the technique but there were a couple leagues that ran it this way and cut off the interviews.

                              I vote for the slower pace, as well. I like to take my time with the draft.
