Enail Response - Proposed Changes

Howdy folks,

Please post your response to the following before this weekend preferably, or before next Wednesday, May 19th (also sent by email, thanks :)):

1) Coaching Draft - An excellent idea brought forth. Should the coaching draft be restricted just to head coaches? And if so, should GMs only be able to choose from the head coahes that are currently employed in the NHL specifically, or from all leagues, including or not including ones who are unemployed? Also, should the coaching draft be done on the same day as the player draft, or on a separate day? Of course, if the draft is just for head coaches, we would only need one round of drafting. Should it be the same order as selected for the player draft, reversed, or selected completely differently?

2) Database - It seems that we will go with the default database, with no editing. Hence, would it be necessary to send the default database to everyone, considering everyone should be familiar with it by now heh, and probably have it anyway? Also, this does free up five days in the schedule (May 16th to May 21st), so we really have quite a few days to play with. Thus, we can extend the feedback period to make those key decisions properly. As such, the feedback period will be extended to next Wednesday, May 19th if necessary.

3) Draft Day - We have a couple of GMs who cannot attend the proposed draft date (approximately May 20th to May 30th). Thus, I would like to propose we move the draft to the next weekend (Sat, June 5th), this would push the start of the tourny to Sat, June 12th, and the tourny to end the next weekend, Sunday June 20th.

4) Draft Lists
- Since it appears we will use the default database with no editing, would it be actually necessary to have a server up for GMs to use for making their lists? Or could GMs simply use their own games offline to make their draft lists (considering only the lower ranked players change in attributes betweem separate launchings of the database)? This would give GMs ample time to make their draft lists, especially considering if the draft is on June 5th. Does, does everyone have the default database? If everyone does, then we do not need to have a server for GMs to make their draft lists, we would only need it for the tourny itself. Also, does everyone like doing 8-10 live rounds, while Dallas and I do the rest offline?


Furthermore, please make sure to submit your team/arena names to us via email when ready.

Moreover, we are waiting for one more GM to check in, hence we may be seeking an alternate if necessary within the next few days. As such, we would love to welcome suggestions, please email us as such :).

1. I believe we should be able to draft all of our Coaches..And we should be able to choose from any available leagues to get these Coaches.
The Coaches draft should would be better off held on a day separate from the Players draft.
The Coaches draft should be reversed from the Players Draft.
2. Not necessary to send the default database to everyone.
3. Draft day: June 5th works for me.
4. Draft Lists: It would be great if the Server could be up with the Default Data Base unless of course this poses a problem for the Host.
8 - 10 or more live rounds if we can move the draft along in a timely fashion..Hmmm..Rahim probably will be attending the draft so
will be lucky to get in 5 live rounds.:)

1. I Personally I'd only really care about choosing my head coach, but if the majority of GMs want to pick their entire staff that's cool with me. Reversing the order from the player draft would seem reasonable I'd think. And we should be able to pick from any leagues.

2. I'm going to sound like a total noobie here, but I never play offline anymore so just to clarify: when you start a new game with the patch installed, every player will have identical atts in every game, right? If that's the case then there's no point in sending the db out I'd think.

3. June 5 is great with me. Preferably reasonably early.

4. See (2) - why would we need the server up? Are some atts randomised? 8-10 rounds would be ok, as long as we get a couple of days after the live draft to tweak our lists depending on team needs. Hopefully with only 16 picks per round things will move at a decent pace, although picking from the entire db is obviously going to be a huge step up from a regular draft.

Cheers!

Gavin - re: point 2 the answer is no. There are players with random potentials which affect their atts. So it is possible that everyone will see a different Malkin for example.

Thanks Mordy. I wasn't sure if the randomisation only came into effect as guys developed; guess not.
