Ticket votes for two with one drop by 4:00 in order to pick again. Order of standings for two rounds. No back to back picks is the way that was done in the past if I'm not mistaken.
Mark, if Match 4 is wrapped up tonight, or if outcomes are certain, we should use the standings through four matches to determine supplemental pick order. I'll get out complete standings by tonight.
As far as whether to just pick up a guy or go two-for-one, I don't really care. But we should mandate building rosters to 15. Enforcement is obviously a potential issue; perhaps we don't allow anyone to participate - now or in coming supplementals - until their rosters are at the required number.
Eric-Invaders have looked at schedule and see that the outcome of the Swat/Nitecap match will probably be in doubt. OKC plays Sunday night and Westbrook and Durant are on either team...
Eric-in making a case for 2 picks Invaders have studied early stat leaders-20 of top 80 scorers are not currently in our league.Also 9of the top 35 rebounders 5 of the top 35 in assists aren't represented.Half a dozen players appear in at least 2 of these categories...it's early of course but there's a lot of free agent talent right now
Here's how the supp will work. Based on inverse order of standings after Match 3, each team will acquire one player. Once that round is complete, all teams wanting to continue will announce a drop, after which a second round will commence. That way, those who wish only to acquire a 15th player will have the option to do so. . We start at 4 PM Sunday with Swat Team picking first. Quite honestly, I don't know what we're going to do with any team that neglects to participate in the first round. Does that team remain at 14 players while the rest have 15? For how long? Do we create an opportunity for such teams to expand their rosters at some later supplemental? I don't know.
Feel free to make suggestions, people. I admit to being a bit puzzled. I think all teams should maintain the same number of players on their roster, but hey, I'm kind of old-fashioned.
Invaders suggest that match 4 standings are offical except for Swat/Nitecaps-since their game won't end in time we could just let Dave pick 2nd after Swat giving him the benefit of the doubt.If you look at the scores post it would be easy to get an order based on 4 games instead of 3 for the other 4 teams-I admit this would help me because I'm 1-3.But I do think I should pick ahead of JRB who just beat me and is now 2-2-otherwise I pick behind him based on total points.
Invaders also suggest that if a team doesn't participate that they be induced to pick someone the following day before the match as Tom has said.Otherwise they would not be allowed to get their 15th player until the next supplemental.Such teams would pick in inverse order of the standings for the next draft but obviously wouldn't have to drop a guy..
Eric-Why should Invaders pick 5th w/a 1-3 record??I'm saying assume nothing-let Dave have pick 2 because we know nothing-I'd get pick 3 instead of 5 which I deserve because I'm 1-3..the order under my scenario is 1-swat/2.Dave/3-Me/4-ticket/5-jrb/6-you/7-p4-under the 3 game scenario I pick behind both Tom and JRB who are 2-2 while I'm 1-3-punishing me for Durant and Westbrook not being in the books-Dave and Sean can be frozen in their 3 game slots while the rest of us are finals for 4 games...it's simply unfair to deny me the 3rd pick
also Eric-that was Swat w/his Brand pick-in answer to his position questions the answers are as follows-Batum,D.Wright and Jefferson are 3's only-T.Douglas is a 1 only-Allen is only 2-I'll double check on Big baby but I think Harrington is 4 only
Eric-Invaders report after talking to Tom he seems to favor the 3 game scenario.I see that I actually would pick 4th not 5th and Tom also seems to think that JRB won't be part of supplemental-if he did he'd pick 2nd.If JRB isn't going to care(if he doesn't pick then I'm 3rd anyway)and neither Dave or Tom go along w/my 4 game scenario then I'm outvoted-those are the 2 teams it would also help besides my Invaders
Mark, I see your point about Ryno picking ahead of you, but there's just no way to determine whether you should pick before Dave or the reverse. If he loses, he'll probably trail you in points, meaning he should get the higher pick. If he wins, you should pick in front of him, but we won't know that. And can you move one guy based on Match 4 results (Ryno) and not others (you, Dave)? That seems weird to me.
If you guys think it's a big enough issue, we could move the supplemental to later tonight. I don't care. I'll be up. Let me know.
Eic-I could wait until 6:30-7 when Thunder game ends..That's why I said to give Dave the benefit of the doubt and give him 2nd pick-as it stands now it only has an important effect on me and JRB if we go w/my scenario-if we wait and Swat wins his higher point total possibly puts him behind me and definitely Dave in the draft.If Dave wins I would get 2nd pick for sure which would be strange because I have the highest point total right now and am only 1-3.So if we wait and Swat wins he wouldn't be able to get Brand w/the first pick
I'm available all night and will check in periodically to see what the decision is. Nice work to all those (Mark, Tom, E) on organization and updates this year.
Tom just called me(Invaders) and said he must draft from library now-he has no later online access-he's having trouble logging on now-he wants to email or call me w/his picks-but if that's what he ends up doing then he could do that later as well..
Ticket says Swat's got Brand X-man's up,followed by Invaders, Ticket & E-Team. Then we drop a guy and do the same. Go Nitecap. Forget about JRB & P4. Unless they chime in. I'm certain they won't.
Ticket thanx Dave, Like I told a cop who gave me a speeding ticket says, "I've been waiting for you all day." "I got here as fast as I can!" I told him.
Pipe down Tom. You have ruined our day twice already. First by disrespecting The Machine, then by thwarting our efforts to expand our scope of power into the southern hemisphere. Your hijacking of Manu slows us down in our quest for world domination.

Did we have a vote for whether we wanted 1 or 2 picks Sunday?Invaders now vote for 2

Invaders wonder will draft be based on standings after 3 or 4 matches?in inverse order of course...
E Team says:
I say one pick, no drops, to build the rosters to 15.

Standings (updated through Match 3) are available on the Match 3 Results post.

I am up for 2 picks, with one drop.
Swat Team
If we are going with through Match 3 standings I am ready to pick #15 now plus drop player.

I'm ready to go, I'll take Elton Brand (PF,C)
Drop: J.Magee (C)
I won't have availability to e-mail until later this evening, so I want to replace J. Magee with on of the following, in order of significance:
1. D. Wright (SG,SF), 2. R. Allen (SG), 3. D. Toney (SG only?), 4. N. Batum (SF only?) 5. G. Davis (PF,C), 6. RichJeff (SF,PF?), 7. ALHarrington (PF)
E Team says:
Who was that?
E Team says:
Mark, we can't assume anything about the outcome of the 'Caps-Swat match, so we must use the Match 3 standings.

Big baby and Harrington are indeed 4's on ESPN-all of Swat' listed potential picks after Brand are single position guys

Nice work to all those (Mark, Tom, E) on organization and updates this year.
Dave-would you rather wait to see what happens w/OKC or would you rather draft now?Invaders are posing this question
Tom just called me(Invaders) and said he must draft from library now-he has no later online access-he's having trouble logging on now-he wants to email or call me w/his picks-but if that's what he ends up doing then he could do that later as well..
Ticket can't draft after library is closed at 5 PM. Lovely of you to propose change of draft time so late in the day.
Ticket's online and ready to drop a pick
Let's wait if you can work things out with Tom.
If not, I'm ready to go.
If Ryans not picking we might as well go now.
Invaders are here-but w/one eye on exciting Raider home game not blacked out for a change
Ticket says
Swat's got Brand
X-man's up,followed by Invaders, Ticket & E-Team.
Then we drop a guy and do the same.
Go Nitecap. Forget about JRB & P4.
Unless they chime in. I'm certain they won't.
Dorell Wright
How dare you. What led you to that assumption???? P4 here and ready. FACT!
Invaders select Mike Conley
Ticket apologizes but P4 picks last?
We pick best.
Who's on the clock?
Ticket selects Ginobli-2
NICE!
E Teams says:
Am I up?
Is Eric on here?-he's next
Ticket
thanx Dave, Like I told a cop who gave me a speeding ticket says, "I've been waiting for you all day." "I got here as fast as I can!" I told him.
Invaders say -your pick E
I was waivering between Ginobli and Wright
I like em both but Invaders need insurance for geriatric-Nash
E Team:
I'll go BenGo. Is he bi? Positional, that is.
Conely might be the best pick but I'm deep at PG
Ticket says
Dorell wasn't raised Wright. Is he a fourth option for most hoists?
Ben is a straight 2 Invaders believe
confirmed
Gordon is a 2
Ticket says
Hey P4 go! Library closes in half an hour.
E Team says:
Fine. I'll go with that.
Oh no Invaders! Chiefs strike.
Pipe down Tom. You have ruined our day twice already. First by disrespecting The Machine, then by thwarting our efforts to expand our scope of power into the southern hemisphere. Your hijacking of Manu slows us down in our quest for world domination.
We'll take RayRay Allen. Is he a 2 and 3?
I know-we've made a nice 2nd half comeback though-we'll get another score
Ticket drops Jammy
Allen is only a 2-Pierce is the swinger on Celtics-Invaders say
Invaders drop Maggette-he's not getting the minutes in Milwaukee
OK. P4 will still acquire his services.
I waive Hedo
Ticket says
Is E-Team done? P4?
Magette getting 20 minutes or less thus far-Delfino and Salmons getting 35 plus Mbah-Moute plays some 3
P4 done.
E Team says:
Is it too late to drop the homo Vince Carter?
Ticket says go Nitecap
What's going on? Who's up?
We ca make a pick for Swat from his list-the next guy on his preference list still out there is toney douuglas-Invaders
Wilson Chandler
Ticket says
E-Team drops Carter?
Ticket says
You took my Knick!?#
Rich Jeff-3
Invaders select Al Thornton
We're even
he has a history as a nitecap
E Team says:
Wait. No one confirmed whether I could drop my VC, now Dave's made a pick. Bastards!
Screw it. I'll stay put.
It was Invader pick but Thornton and Jeff were who I was choosing between after Dave got Chandler
Invaders didn't see the Carter homo question-is there someone left you'd rather have Eric?
I assumed you had dropped VC. I'm just following orders
E Team says:
I'm out. Good job, people.
See you in the funny papers.
Ticket says
did Swat pick a second guy?
Ticket's out of time
Tom you picked Jefferson out of order before me but I couldn't decide fast enough between hin and Thornton
Swat took Douglas
Is that it?
