If I missed anything.. please bring it up before round 1 ends

 

[420grover]

With the first pick in the Rupp Rafters All-time(75 to present) draft, I select Anthony Davis.

@UK HEMINGWAY on the clock.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Maybe put the criteria in the first post so folks who jump in once this gets rolling will immediately understand what we're doing.

Thanks for handling this.

 

[jwhite123]

Feel really good about being in between the two OG’s of these drafts @GonzoCat90 and @UKNorse at pick number 9. I’m sure they won’t be messing up any of my picks

Murderer's row for sure. I think this one is gonna be so all over the place that order may not matter as much, but we all definitely have some experience with these.

Wanna trade? Lol. I got the worst spot possible.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Off to a great start! Some of y'all are telling on yourselves for not social distancing.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Wanna trade? Lol. I got the worst spot possible.

I'll trade

 

[hotelblue]

it’ll be fun to see how people utilize some of the 90’s players.

 

[Montana81]

What made y’all decide on only 75 and on?

 

[420grover]

What made y’all decide on only 75 and on?

Lack of knowledge. Most people who will be voting don't know as much about earlier players.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

I'll trade

You have one of the prime draft positions. I’d trade in a nanosecond if that was possible. You’ll get 2 of the top 13 picks.

 

[DraftCat]

@UK HEMINGWAY you have 1 hour to pick deadline is 6 EST.

Then it will be @ABlockalypseBrow turn on the clock

Can I have two picks if he's a no-show?

 

[DraftCat]

What should we do in round 1? If someone misses should we put them at the bottom? Or have them pick whenever they return?

Maybe someone wants the double pick at 12 so I don't want them to lose that advantage.

I think we assume they won't show up for the other rounds. But if they do, they can make the pick they would've gotten anyways whenever they do show up.

Either that, or look up the MLB/NFL/NBA rules for being late. I'm sure they have one although it never happens.

 

[jwhite123]

Just let him pick when he shows up I guess. I don’t really have a better idea of what to do

 

[DraftCat]

I may have in future draft "alternates" that can step in at a moments notice during the beginning stages.

 

[GonzoCat90]

The way I ran the other drafts was to let them pick when they show up, but if it gets back around to them and they still haven't shown up, we drop them from the draft.

 

[DraftCat]

@YaySports you are the first alternate. if your available your welcome to make a pick right now and I'll enter you in the draft.

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

Let me know when it's my turn. I'm torn between two, hopefully @YaySports picks one of the two, otherwise I'll have to flip a coin.

 

[DraftCat]

@YaySports was just viewing the forum so lets give him until 6:30 and if not your welcome to make a pick.

 

[420grover]

Next draft, we need to put betting odds on the first one to not show up.

 

[jrpross]

I hate to skip people or kick em out or whatever, but I mean we just don’t have time to take 6 hours between picks.

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

Ok guys, I told my family I'm grilling out for them tonight and I was wanting to clean the grill some before. So can I tell you my two choices in order ahead of time?

I'm picking either Monster Mash first, or if he's taken, Goose.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

I'm picking either Monster Mash first, or if he's taken, Goose.

Good pick. I was really hoping he’d somehow slide to 7.

 

[hotelblue]

i already got my team and i don’t think it’s too star heavy. don’t screw with me.

 

[DraftCat]

@GoBigBlue712 you are up..

 

[420grover]

Good pick. I was really hoping he’d somehow slide to 7.

Yeah, I was hoping he'd slide to 24.

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

@GoBigBlue712 I believe you're on the clock. @UKNorse, I'll let you say how long he's got?

 

[DraftCat]

I'd like to keep 6 hours for the 1st round and when we get going knock it down to 4. Think we have done that in the past drafts typically.

 

[DraftCat]

@jedwar

Can this be moved to the paddock so the 99.9 precent of us that read this board that aren't in it don't have to look at it?

Really? I've been doing these contests for 3-4 years on Rupp Rafters. You are welcome to not view the thread. Plus no one goes to "paddock"

Also you haven't even been a member for a year yet.. chill out

 

[Jkwo]

Yaysports told me to pick for him. With the pseudo second pick in the draft, he officially selects Gimel "The Assassin" Martinez.

 

[DraftCat]

Chill out? Did I insult you or anybody in it? No, I didn't. It's at the top of the board. Hell, why can't you and whoever is in it set up a Yahoo group? Since you appear to be rude, IDGAF. You chill out.

Lol you aren't worth wasting time on. Me and @GonzoCat90 have done 7-8 of these contests over 4 years and your the first person to complain. Congrats and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend

 

[hotelblue]

threads stay up on the front page multiple days with only a few responses. in other words threads have ample time before they fall off. it doesn’t really crowd anything.

 

[Baller Cal]

Your arrogance isn't a surprise. I just asked a simple question without insulting you or anyone else and you had to bow up and smart off. No surprise that you are tone deaf.

 

[DraftCat]

I'm more annoyed that you want to ruin a fun idea just because you have to see it on the front page. What else you want to talk about while the world has gone to shit? Next years class that we may or may not even get to see?

Get a cold drink from your fridge and relax. I'm not one to get pissy with anyone your welcome to go through all my posts.

This is a thing we've been doing for 4 years now and frankly it's insulting you think you can kick us off Rupp Rafters
