      Euro 2012 draft comp - discussion thread
      Jun 20, 2012 09:14:52 pm
      I know it's a little bit late but i ran it past JD and he said it was ok to setup a draft competition.It's only a bit of fun and it doesn't really matter if it runs past the date of the final.

      Drafting XI's from players selected for the Euros. Maximum of 3 frorm a country and you can't pick 2 from the same country consecutively (Wildcard rounds don't count in this, so you couldn't pick a German in round 3 and 5)

      These will be the wildcards: European players who don't make the finals (Injury, suspension, dropped or nation didn't qualify and internationally retired if and only if they never appeared in a Euros finals competition) and Historical Euro player (I.E. a player who played at a previous tournament but isn't still active internationally) They will be Round 9 and 4 respectively.

      Players are judged on current ability, apart from 'Historical Euro player' which is judged on them at their prime.

      Post-draft, we'll have straight knockout. Round of 16, quaters, semis and a final. 15 matches in total. Will be voted on by people who develop their views on who will win, even if is only a sentance. I'll put up a poll but it won't be the judge of who wins.

      The first 16 to register an interest will participate, with the rest going on a backup register. Because there are only 16 spots I'll not take part myself (Though I will form a team with whatever's left after the draw finishes to show you lot what you missed - it won't compete though). The draft order will be done randomly, and the format for the matches afterward will be anounced before the draw for that is made.

      There will be 16 people in the competition.Once everybody is confirmed i will put all the names in a hat to decide who gets to pick in what order whoever picks last will get two picks and it will work it's way back in that order

      when all the picks are made i will make a new draw to see who plays who.Both players will say why they picked each player and how they are going to deal with the opposition the match thread will be open for 48 hours in order for everyone to vote on who they thinks would win.

      Trust me guys it's a bit of fun and it's going to work :)

      Just throw up a list numbered 1 - 16 and start putting names on it, with the teams beside the player.
      That normally does the trick. First come first served.

      So is this it? We get 16 players, like there is left in the tournament and then pair off into 8 quarter finals?

      We then have to pick our players for our team and they are made up of 10 players left in the Euro competition and 1 legend?

      We then all get turns picking a player like a draft.

      We make our team using the 11 players from the draft, but if we use 'Player A' in this round, we cannot use him again in later rounds?

      No,You get turns in picking your 11 players in turns decided at random you can pick who you want when you want provided they were at the euros this year except for round 4 and 9 where you can pick a legend and in round 9 a player from Europe that did not play at the euros for whatever reasons.

      When all the picks are made there will be a straight knockout competition starting at the last 16 round where each player will put his players into the appropriate formation outline why he thinks his team is stronger than his opponents and how his team will play.

      After both players have done this the thread will remain open for 48 hours while the rest of us vote on who we think should win the game and at the end of the 48 hours we should have a clear winner :)
