Interesting KDS........

Here are the KDS preferences for the NFFC Super Draft League followed by analysis:

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

** The Super League was similar to the Ultimate League in that the average KDS preference received was exactly 3.0. So again, on average every owner got their third draft preference.

** SIX owners got their first preference. That's pretty cool. Three other owners got their second preference and one owner got their third preference. After that the final owners randomly picked got their 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th preferences.

Thoughts?

i was iniatially aginst KDS years ago, because some unlucky bastard could get his 14th preference and be competing against others getting their 3rd preference on average. that could still happen, but KDS works for most owners and I like it. huge part of the draft day strategy. [/QUOTE]The one thing that is really neat about KDS that we didn't think about in years past is that for the most part if there's an area of the draft you really don't want to be in it's very possible thanks to KDS you won't draft there. Because everyone's KDS preferences are all over the board, someone likely wants to be in a spot that you don't want to be, right? So that helps everyone. And as you can see from the results above, thanks to everyone having a different opinion of where they want to draft from this year, most folks are getting their Top 3 preference.

And trust me, when folks are paying this much money, it's great to see so many happy!!

We've been told the videos will be available by 5:30 CT/6:30 ET. So hopefully in a little more than 30 minutes from now you'll get to see the Ultimate and Super League Draft Selection Show.

I know this delay is wearing on those in the Ultimate and Super leagues, but give us a little more time and the link will be live on Fanball.com and we'll link to it here. We'll allow the draft spots to be announced via video first and then Tom and I will post the draft orders here shortly after the video is linked here.

They are just finishing up all of the photo shop work on the names in the background and cleaning up the video (hey, it's not easy to make Tom and I look good!!).

We're at least an hour away, so let's say 7:30 CST we'll have this link live. Get a drink or three and join us around then for hopefully the final edited version and draft order. Thanks all.

I saw this thread and read every message thinking i would go to a link at the end,nice cliffhanger fellas.

Well it looks like we should be able to see a nice video right around the time they pull the starters from the indy/philly game.

We want to get these draft picks to you, but you know how production crews are Tom?!!

You've been there before. We want this done sooner than you because this is holding up our Hooter's dinner date!!

We're not leaving here until the picks are announced.

But we like this trend we started and we may have to find a way to do a lot of our league announcements this way. It's worth the delay.

I blame Tom for teasing the 6:30 ET timeframe!! I just moved it back two hours. HOpefully that one will be correct.
