Changes to the next deer contest


Recommended Posts

Wife turns 40 today, my turn is 11 months from now, so I get to make fun of her age while I can.

You gotta kick 'em while you can, because it's coming fast at all of us! :gun_bandana:

John...if you want to get your wife a nice hat like mine...you can get them here.

I see a few of my team are on here venting :angry: I will say I had fun this year. I don't like the fact that we took a big digger after a great year. I also don't like the fact that the Green Bay Packers lost to the Chiefs or the Giants. I can't change either though....There are a few guys on my team this year, that I would gladly team up with again, even if they crap out in the end I know they gave it one heck of an effort.

I say next year make the option to boot an individual if they don't check in at least 1 time a month unless arranged with the team prior. For instance, I'm wearing my awesome hat and going to Africa for 6 weeks. Team says, good excuse for not checking in.

No check in, no reply to PM's, means cut, and free agency.

The draft idea sounds like it could be fun.

To make it easier in years to come, you could make the winning team into the captains for next season. Then you don't have to re-establish captains from scratch every year. Any that don't want to be captains could decline and be replaced by the high scorers from the 2nd place team. May be a nice option and still allow for some randomization. Either way, it sounds fun and I will certainly join next year.

No thanks, I think I'll sit out if it goes to a draft system. I like the randomness of how each team is picked. Go to a draft and eventually people will get to comfortable with the team they are on and soon the same teams will be picked over and over.

If you want to make sure people that sign up are going to actually participate, try doing a 2 phase sign up. The usual time for the sign up is around the end of August, so make phase 1 at around the beginning or middle of July, then the second for the end of August as usual. To participate you MUST sign up in both phases, you miss one, you are not in.

I was on a team and didn't interact with them. Due to my work schedule I hunted maybe 4 days all season with no brown down. I checked in, posted my seasons, and never had anything else to talk about due to my short and unsuccessful season.....does that make me a bad team member? Just curious? :D

yes Kyle, I was so counting on you ........j/k lol , work comes before play unfortunately. I don't mind the way the teams have been picked, you are always going to have people on each team who are all hyped about joining and then don't bother to play the game.

However, a draft is a pretty good idea too, since I always get a buck :D ........... I'm sure I'll get picked first LOL

A few of us have been kicking around the idea for a team "draft" next year. Rather than completely random picks from Chance (or whoever mods it next season) maybe we could submit some team captain names then draft teams. Teams could maybe stay the same year to year, worst teams get to draft members from winning teams for the next season?

If it sounds like a lame idea, blame Tom. It was his idea..... :fish:

. Can anybody play or just certain people?

Been some good ideas on non participating players in the past. I did not sign up last year, primarily had to do with the prior year where I signed up as an alternate and ended up seeming to be talking to myself within the "team" thread. Dunno about the draft idea, could be fun.

Any members meeting the criteria. There is a minimum post count rule, you should not have any problem making the post count minimum [/size]for this upcoming season.

I might wanna play cuz it seems fun but I don't kill any big deer I only kill like 4 points and does my biggest is a 7 point! Is that ok??
