dbHunterNY Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 i was just gonna type that wasn't Al's real hairdo. any "almost 80" guy that wears a hat like that, you know isn't slowing down any time soon. something tells me that 11 months from now John won't know what hit him after his wife speaks.

clrj3514 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 its simple - if you cant handle not being the first picked, or being the last one standing then don't sign up for the draft. I like the idea, but either way, i will sign up next fall. this x100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes it does. What else also makes you a bad member is not responding to messages sent to you. I am lost lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 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.

rhine16 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sounds like it would be alot of fun for the regulars, not so much for the ones that aren't. I'm for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebohio Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 love the contest. the draft sounds fun. it does stink when you get people sign up and not participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I would like to see a draft too , but it does sound kinda like a pain in the butt. With that being said , I would like to see a draft, of ciourse I wouldnt want to pick my team because I have no idea whos been getting deer.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 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? 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 ........... I'm sure I'll get picked first LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole14bowhunting Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 . Can anybody play or just certain people? Any members meeting the criteria. There is a minimum post count rule, you should not have any problem making the post count minimum for this upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
