Thanks Don,

I really just try to keep it simple, since I'm just a one-man show with this.
Hopefully no one will be too disappointed. With guys in the league spread out across different timezones, it's really hard to keep everyone involved at the same time.

zyberianwarrior · 02-13-2010, 08:38 PM

yup eastern time here no problems and no worries

I'm smiling at least. I targeted two guys to tweak Unstable and they were both there. That's a draft day first for me.

A first for me too, I sacrificed some HW firepower to try and get stronger at both WW and LW and got both guys I wanted, so I am very happy with my draft.

Romultiltus · 02-13-2010, 08:55 PM

With the #23 pick of the 2nd Round (#47 overall), St. Louis Sluggers select:

MW (2) Grady Brewer 0-0-0 (0) *Beginning

---------------

Nice not having to go to plan B or C. Every previous draft had at least one round where the guy I wanted got snagged in the immediate pick before mine.

Romultiltus · 02-13-2010, 09:05 PM

Diggstown Ringers forfeit the #24 pick (#48 overall)

--------------

The 2nd Round of the UTBA-II Season 4 Draft is now complete.

Round 3 of the Draft will start as scheduled @ 11:00am tomorrow morning.

NOTE: The team roster pages will not get updated until sometime after the end of round 3 of the Draft.

Sorry, I thought of this last night and it slipped my mind again.

Truth be told the draft doesnt excite me as much as it did with the TBCB2. It may just be in my head but the beginner fighters are just terrible in 2.5 so unless you want to compete every year you cant have them on your team.

This is the primary reason I have been wanting some type of change to keep the incentive there to take on these beginner fighters when you are in "win now" mode.

Hanson Bros · 02-13-2010, 10:14 PM

beginning fighters are no different in 2.5 than they were in 2.0 .... only difference is you see the rating

Thanks for the info. It must just be in my head or maybe I am just drafting really crappy beginner fighters this time around.

Brooks TVB · 02-13-2010, 10:35 PM

Crap totally missed my second pick. Oh well waiver wire should cover what I need.

They are going to be crappy against the level of competition in this league ... look at Witherspoon for me last season going 1-19

This is why I iked the idea of a farm system that we tried to implement in UTBA 1

I really wasn't a fan of the "Minor League" system that we tried to implement into UTBA-I --- but only from the standpoint of recordkeeping.

With 24 teams, it is a lot of work to keep everything updated and adding 24 "farm teams" would just make the recordkeeping and stats more of a nightmare.

Of course, we can vote on this again if there is enough interest and if a majority of league members want it, then we can work something out, keeping in mind that the league will run much slower than it does now.
