Is the order for the city draft done in alphabetical order or where your team is currently? I am in the 7th spot now, so do I get the 7th pick on which city I want?

I feel like I should already know this but - At what point in the process are we going to draft our new "base" team? When will we determine the order of this team draft?

I would consider sending emails rather than sitemails. I can get my emails anywhere I am. That might help. Just a suggestion. Actually you are the second owner to express an issue with accessing site mails throughout the day. Some of you may not be aware of this feature, but WIS has an option in the "Account Info" section where you may elect to have site mails forwarded to your email. I would encourage everyone to check that box, at least for the duration of this process. You can find it on the "My Locker" page.

Ok so this is wasted season coming up or no? Or are we doing everything before starting world? Second part to that question, if guy is 5 season of arb or this coming season is their last season for fa, are they available to pick in the upcoming player draft?

Second part to that question, if guy is 5 season of arb or this coming season is their last season for fa, are they available to pick in the upcoming player draft? No wasted season. Yes, we are going to do everything before starting the world. Arb eligible guys WILL be in the draft pool. You MAY NOT negotiate with your departing FAs. They will NOT be in the draft pool.

So to be clear, you cannot sign any arb guy or any of your own FA for this upcoming season.

So to be clear, you cannot sign any arb gut or any of your own FA for this upcoming season. Directly from the Private World Rules page: **THE FOLLOWING RULE ONLY APPLIES TO THE FIRST SEASON OF THE TOURNAMENT (S24).** SIGNING A FREE AGENT BEFORE WORLD WIDE FREE AGENCY BEGINS WILL RESULT IN A 1 WIN PENALTY PER 100K OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT. Arb players will be in the draft pool. If they are not drafted then they will remain under your control. You may do whatever you want with them.

Who is not eligible for the draft? Why aren't departing FA's eligible for the draft?

Who is not eligible for the draft? Why aren't departing FA's eligible for the draft? Because, for season 1, we want as large of a free agent crop as possible.

Can I sort the Draft Pool? There are two options for you to sort. 1st Download that document to your PC and you may sort like you would sort any Excel spreadsheet. 2nd You need not EVER look at my spreadsheet and simply use the "Player Search" page within the World Office/Reports tab. IF you use the World Office/Reports/Player Search tool, you can simply use my spreadsheet to check ARB and LT demands of the guys who are listed as $0 in that Player Search report.

I feel like an idiot but maybe that's just because I haven't really had time to read emails, etc.
Why does your current franchises payroll matter in selecting the team? Outside of bad contracts, wouldn't most of these guys get drafted and based on your budgeting, you can set whatever money you want for payroll?
Also, I have no idea what that draft sequence that Mike generated means.

Also, I have no idea what that draft sequence that Mike generated means. I expect that most payroll on each team will be taken in the draft Mike gave us a random order. If you want to know more, ask MikeT23 in his thread.

I think there are some concerns that having the first choice of parks as well as first choice for big draft position is a hefty advantage. I don't think the park matters much myself, but I do think that finding a franchise without bad contracts as well as having your choice of draft position in the big draft is a pretty big deal.

This position seems to have some merit. Since the city draft hasn't begun yet, now is our last chance to put any issues to bed. The only problem I see arising is that many people are going to be valuing draft time slot more than city, payroll or draft position

To continue my thought from the previous post. If the big draft order is just the opposite of the city draft order, that takes away the ability to choose the best time slot. Remember that it's a snake style draft, so the team that picks first doesn't pick again till 64th

I must say I feel a bit stupid. First if I am understanding anything correctly, it would seem to me it is an unfair advantage to be able to have the first pick of franchises and then first pick overall on the player draft. Secondly, I don't understand how to tell or where exactly to go to see what franchises have been selected , what time I pick, and where I can place the franchise. Guess I am pretty lost as to how this next part is exactly suppose to happen. I can use a little help. I will be out of commission for the next few hours.

If we made the big draft order another random selection that would seem fair to me. Roll the dice and take your chances. After the city draft is complete then ask MikeT to generate another random draft order for the big draft. I do not think the big draft order should be determined until the city draft is complete.
