I hereby offer my first and. second pick to anyone in the top 10 for your first.
So you would get my first round pick, my second round pick and your normal spot 3rd round pick.
I'd get your #1 pick and then my normal pick in the 3rd round.
You would get 2 second round picks essentially.
Let me know if your interested via pm.

As in a fantasy draft, you'll have to pick up a second pick along the way. So you can trade them your first and second for their first and fifth, but you'd have to trade two picks for two picks.

I guess the next question I have -- are we drafting any fighter in any weight class, or do the drafts have to stick in a weight class?
I.e., do we pick heavyweights first, then light heavyweights second? So I've got the last pick for heavyweight and the first pick for light heavy?
Or are we picking just fighters period, so that I have the 16th and 17th overall fighter picks?
I think either is workable. The second is a little more valuable to those with the high picks obviously, but it's all going to balance out down the snake draft (thus the advantage of it).

from easy above
We're just gonna have an open weight class draft. If we went a different weight class each round, the guys at the bottom of the round would get the shaft on fighters. So, as long as you pick 5 fighters, each from a different weight class, then you're fine.

so basically you can pick whoever you want just make sure you dont already have someone from that weight class picked already

To answer questions:
-This is an OPEN-WEIGHT draft. Regardless of what round we're in, all fighters are available. This way, the guys with the later picks in the round won't get stuck with Kyle Bradley or Justin McCaully for those weight classes. You'll just need 1 fighter in each weight class. There are no rules as to when you have to pick a weight class.
-Once the draft is complete, we'll set up brackets for the Grand Prix's. There will be 1 for each weight class, to determine the inaugural champions. The brackets will be posted here and we'll try to get this done within a week (since you'll know who you're fighting after each round). Once those are done, we'll put the cards together and start having "shows".

The snake draft actually keeps this from happening. I'd get the worst heavyweight but the best lightheavyweight so it would balance out that way.
But doing open-weight draft is fine too, that just means i get the sixteenth and seventeenth best overall fighters, compared to Meat getting the first and thirty-second best fighters.
No matter how it's done, the snake keeps it fair, that's the wonderful magick of the snake draft.
But yeah, I'm on board with the open-weight decision obviously.
What's the rule on people who can fight across multiple weight classes? pick one weight they fight in only, or are they in the draft twice (Meat could draft Spider middleweight at #1 and Eazy could draft Spider at 205 at #2, for example)?
-- Edit, damnit, i should really read the rules -- already decided they are in the draft twice. Went ahead and stickied them, although it might be better to create a "welcome + outline post that has links to the rules and various posts of interest.

I was thinking about the ratings of the fighters and got me to wondering if there will be a kind of handicapping option in the game that would even out the fighters. that would make the league more about your skill and less about who u get in the draft.

well I don't know if that is an option, if not, the higher ranked fighters are going to have a better shot at winning, but I was going to incorporate that into the rankings, if you beat a higher rated fighter it is worth more than if you beat a lower ranked fighter

Why not just start drafting now in this thread, with a 12 hour time limit per pick? That way our season can get underway May 31st instead of the draft
I'm in a few leagues, and none of them have ever successfully pulled off a live draft. It's been a few day long process in a thread just for the draft, with the OP keeping track of whos taken and whos available.
I would gladly make the thread and track it regularly as in all day cuz I work from home most days.

i kinda like the idea, just not right now, the problem with starting the draft right now is that you dont give anyone time to feel out the game and what guys they like playing with, giving them just under 2 weeks to feel the game out would be enough time to get a good idea what guys and styles of guys (wrestling vs kickboxing) they like to play with
but like i said, i like the idea, maybe do the draft in a thread with a 12hr time limit but have it start around a week or 2 after the game is out

What about what the 360 league is doing? Start the draft next Tuesday, no time limit on picks, and whatever isn't done by the 31st (which I'm hoping will be the entire draft) is done in the live portion. Anyone for/against this? I'm leaning towards doing this

I'm against drafting now, personally, but I'm not going to throw a huge fit or anything.
If we're going to be keeping this league going a while and sticking with these drafted characters a while, I'd strongly prefer to actually get to play around with them for a bit before we draft.
Someone I think is a great pickup based on skills/etc might be terrible in the game. Or someone I think terrible might be great. etc. I'd really prefer to try things out and then do the draft after launch.
Doesn't have to be 5/30, we could just push it a few days from release and I'd be happy.

The way we decided on this the draft could start now if everyone picked fighters and you could still wait. There is no limit and I don't expect many picks until the game is released

I definitely don't have a problem with that! Start the draft in a thread on the forum here and people can take as long as they want with each pick. But on X date (say 5/20 or something) picks start having a 24-hour timer on them. if you don't draft within the 24 hours you get the next available highest ranked fighter automatically drafted for you and we move on. /etc

Alright guys, the draft thread is stickied at the top of the forum. A few reminders:
1) Right now, there is NO time limit on picks. You can take as long as you want. The draft should definitely pick up come Tuesday, once the game hits and ppl get the opportunity to play with characters. On May 25 (Memorial Day), a time limit of 24 hours will be placed on each pick. Any picks that haven't been completed by May 31 at 7 PM, we will enter the live draft.
2) If you're selecting a fighter that can fight multiple weight classes, please specify the weight you're drafting him at
ex. Anderson Silva can fight at 185 and 205. When selecting him say "Anderson Silva at 185" or "Anderson Silva at 205" for example.
3) There is no weight class round, meaning you can select whoever you want in any round, as long as you don't have a fighter already at that class.
4) At the end of each round, I will post results of the round and the new order for the round.
Good luck
