Intersting garbage Walla....I have no bias but have watched often silently to all that goes on here. I find Gordon abrasive at times and in baseball reminded him that he is a lizard. But I never find your type of response necessary. Further as a true West Coast Guy (CA born and reared) I like the discussion of changes and like GG and Dyv's suggestion and I would have volunteered for a league but my life is too hectic right now...but still I watch and read. Further I play KJ this week in the main event. So as I often say to obvious little boys playing with their daddies computer Walla get a life and and or permission before u use the puter...OK?

Just a note, when I provoked you to make your unfortunate comment what I said was "... that was an ignorant statement..." My attack was on the words, not the person writing the words. Although you may believe it doesn't make a difference, it really does. It's a technique that's useful in business, raising children, and posting on message boards. Attack the thought, action or belief, not the person.

Question to all out there and NNOY, I'm staying with the theme of the thread :D , tell us how your local leagues determine draft position and also for those of us like me who are not in the WCOFF, how do they do it? Since we have one idea for change out there, let's get some more.

In my local league, we drew from a deck of cards, first to determine selection order and again to determine draft order. Primitive but effective.

This year the WCOFF filled early so draft slots were determined early. Lenny called Tom and asked to borrow his random draft selection hat. That hat is, of course, the last word in draft and league selection technology.

The industry is competitive, but seeing such cooperation between these two industry icons almost makes one weep.

Or as Tom has posted before... who's Lenny?

:D

This is a needless complication.

Greg and Tom want to make this league widespread, not just a niche league for dorks.

Get it yet ?
