Assembling Draft List

[Sabreredleg]

Can anyone explain how the Draft List works in the first year player draft? Specifically, I don't understand what the and/or selection is for. When I ask the scouting director to assemble a list, it'll look something like this:

Player A OR
Player B OR
Player C AND
Player D AND
Player E OR
Player F OR
Player G OR

etc.

I only have one slot/round, and can only pick one player per slot, so I don't really get the distinction.

You can copy the list to other rounds, so let's say your first 2 players are taken. For round 1 you could take C, for round 2 you could take D, and then round three would be E/F/G but I assume after the first or it would stop looking.

i bet the manual could shed light on the specific syntax and its meaning.

You're right. I looked there first but couldn't find the section. A little more digging turned up this:

Using AND and OR
Each draft slot is connected with a drop-down containing the words "And" and "Or." These can be used to give some logic to your draft list, especially in cases where you have multiple picks in a single round. When draft list slots are connected with AND, the computer will attempt to draft as many of those players as possible in the selected round. So, if you have 3 players listed, and 2 picks in the round, it will try to draft two of the three players. Players connected with OR will be automatically removed from the list as soon as one of the chained players is selected.

That still doesn't really explain why the scouting director assembles lists the way I've observed them, but at least I have a better idea how to put them together manually.
