Wouldn't it be nice to have a couple of PD tourneys where everyone gets the SAME options of cards?
I feel so ripped off when my perfect round is 4 RPs, Enos Slaughter, and Ripper Collins, then one of my diamond rounds is equally rough (think Hoyt Williams, Tubby Scales, etc.). Immediate disadvantage. Sure you might win a round or two on sheer luck (who hasn't had rounds where you are clearly the better team and you lose miserably?), but you have almost no chance to go all the way and you know it after your diamond picks.
Just curious if the idea that every team gets the same choice of cards has ever been considered. I get that it creates a homogenous set of teams for those who know the keys to winning, but is that really bad? I just feel like it's a series of lottery tickets the way it is right now, and that first drawing is the most critical because it determines your chances for the rest of the drawings. The same options of players at least levels the playing field.

Here I thought all along that everyone was drafting from the same set of cards? Why wouldn't it be that way? Why have a draft if we aren't drafting from the same group of players?
It's still fun either way I suppose
