$150 Slow Draft League 8 Is SOLD OUT

Actually I have Addai on 5 DC teams already this year and I have Delone on 3. One of those I took both of them. I really like Addai but given his history I thought I would hedge my bets. I even have Brown on a couple of teams. (Must not have been anybody else on my cheatsheet.

)

And yes Addai had far more value in Indy than anywhere else. More of a system guy than great runner.

Tom/Greg,

Are you going to offer any 14 team slow drafts for 'regular' leagues? Or are they all just going to be Draft Champions?

We have a national prize tied into this format and thus we want to grow this as far as we can. Plus I think a lot of folks like to do these without running their teams after Draft Day.

We do have a lot of satellite offerings for leagues where you can run your team during the season. I just don't think adding a Slow Draft format to this is the way we'll probably go for this year. Sorry.

This Slow Draft League started yesterday and these folks are already heading towards Round 3. I didn't have time to post the KDS listings before today, but I definitely want to do it for this league because this was one of the best KDS offerings we've ever had.

Here's the KDS listings and then some analysis:

1,2,14,3,13,12,4,5,8,7,9,10,6,11
4,5,6,7,3,2,14,13,1,8,10,12,9,11
5,6,7,4,3,8,9,13,14,12,10,11,2,1
6,8,7,9,1,2,10,11,12,13,14,5,4,3
3,2,1,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
11,12,10,9,13,8,7,6,5,4,14,3,2,1
1,2,3,4,14,13,12,11,10,5,6,7,8,9
2,3,1,4,5,11,12,13,14,10,8,9,7,6
6,7,5,8,9,12,13,4,3,10,11,2,1,14
3,2,4,5,13,14,9,10,11,12,8,6,1,7
12,13,14,6,7,8,9,10,11,5,4,3,2,1
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,4,3,14,2,1
10,11,12,13,14,5,4,3,2,6,7,8,9,1

Here are the quick facts:

** The average preferred spot received was 2.78, among our best ever in a pay league. That means that all 14 members on average got their second or third KDS preference. Very solid.

** The first six players got their first preference and the LAST PERSON randomly selected got his first preference. So half of the teams -- 7 of 14 -- got their first preference. Two owners got their second preference and another owner got his third preference, so 10 of 14 were in the Top 10 and nobody was lower than eighth. Here were the other KDS preferences received: 5, 5, 7, 8.

** The preferred spots received were for the top and middle mostly and as low as 11th. The bottom isn't the most desired spot for owners this year like it was in past years as you can see from the KDS listings above. But it wasn't a totally undesired area, either.

Great stuff and enjoy all.
