rivalmejr Joined: 11/11/2015 Posts: 83 Hillsboro Pikas III.1 | Adding to draft glitches, I picked the college draft pool and got entirely Latin American players.... Didn't expect to get the worst pool in the game when selecting college. Expectedly it was literally the worst board I have ever seen. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9568 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Draft Lock: Please note, when you select a draft option and are given a handful of prospects to choose from, you will have 20 minutes where you will have exclusive rights to draft those prospects. After that period expires, it is possible that another team is granted the option to draft that prospect. I think I see what the problem is. If team A pulls their pool and doesn't make a pick in 20 minutes, the players can now be drafted by other teams. Team B pulls their pool, and gets a player from team A's pool. One minute later, team A makes their pick. That player is now no longer available for team B despite it only being 1 minute... So in reality you aren't safe for 20 minutes because you never know if those players are on someone else's pool already. |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9568 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Really the only way to protect against this would be to prevent team A from making the pick until team B's time had run out. Either that, or make the player completely unavailable to team A once they have gone into another pool. The first method is kinder, but the second might be a quicker fix.

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4980 Administrator | Hmmmm...maybe it would be just better to limit people to 20 minutes to make their pick and then erase there options. Not sure -- I don't know why it should take so long. Steve |
