Why would Greg decide against any of your suggestions, gekko? I'm sure he realizes they're all just as ingenious as the BBDS. :rolleyes:

I LOVE THIS STATEMENT!!!!!!!

The person who is outbid 13 times WILL NOT WIN

Think about this, more than one person could end up with thier least favorite position... hmmmmm the person who is outbid 13 times can only blame themselves, but will also start with more free agent dollars than every other owner. again, the market will decide allocation of resources, just like it does for FA and in the real world phil. [/QUOTE]GG you said and I quote "EVERY owner wins with BBDS." I will ask again.... does a person who is outbid 13 times a winner????? Yes or No will surfice, again only if your capable.

again, i haven't seen one top gamer voice his opinion against the BBDS system.

1 - Its only your opinion that it is superior
2 - there is more than a handful against it
3 - there is no majority for it (if you can't figure it out, it's total entries divided by 2)
4 - I am a top gamer, and what is my opinion about this subject????

[/QUOTE]The question has not been posed to me so I am taking some liberties here but I will say that a person who is outbid 13 times still emerges a winner in the BBDS system. Why? Because, he presumably didn't bid anything on his 14th choice (if he had a clue) and others in the league presumably bid SOMETHING, if not a lot of free agent $$$$$$ to get their preferred slots. Therefore, the person who is outbid 13 times and get his 14th preferred choice still emerges a winner b/c he enters the season with the most free agent $$$$ to work with. If he doesn't like that outcome, then he can only kick himself for not bidding more on the spots that he wanted. If you ask me, this person probably would fall under the category of someone who thought he could win from anywhere and STRATEGICALLY accepted that he would get a less (perceived) desirable drafting slot.

This does not sound like a bad thing to me.

To answer your question, FAs are not even being discussed so it is irelevant and a pretty stupid question.... next just like i thought. wussed out.

FA are resources EXACTLY like draft slots are. the same principles apply. blind bidding for FA and blind bidding for draft slots.

4 - I am a top gamer, and what is my opinion about this subject???? 1 - wrong. the system is far superior to random draft slots
2 - can you name the people? if so, please do so. thanks.
3 - again, name the people against it. there have been around 10 new MB signups since greg put the poll out.
4 - you tell me what your opinion is. since you said you are a top gamer. what are your accomplishments. double thanks.
