I voted for 1.

I like the idea of the US vs Rest Of The World though. I just don't fully understand it so i chose the simple and straight forward option.

I like the idea of having to earn a position in Premier League

We'd split the game into 2 leagues next time, US and Rest of the World.  I think we had a 9/9 split.  So we'd pick the top 4 from one and top 5 from the other to form the Premier League in the following game, just another way of getting to the split.

Yeah Relegation does work, I think the champ from the previous game should get a 1 game immunity though.. gotta be some perks of being the champ right?


ALso, for whoever said, what if the winner of game B has more pts than the winner of game 1.........

well seeing as it is game B, u are drafting against lesser competition so that wouldn't matter much. It wouldn't mean u beat the person in Game 1 cause they are in the premier league against the best of the best.

^ Game B for that reason would be made purposely different.

More lax drafting rules and such.

I'd say thats a fun idea but it doesn nothing more towards getting the best players in the top league than this game currently going.

I mean D could win this game..... Chose Cena as first pick in the next game and Cena gets injured and he's struggling.

I honestly don't mind doing whatever but there isn't one way better suited to getting the best players in the top league. No player is immume from bad luck or a potential pick that never quite produces.

On another note i was thinking about this TNA situation.... i don't want to be able to have more than one on your team. However i was thinking it might be a cool addition to the game that you could drop you first pick for another TNA guy, however you can never re-bid for the original guy.

That way Jim could have got a much better 1st pick than Jeff Hardy and could have taken Taylor wilde. Just an idea but i like it.

I wish more people watched TNA, cause it would make the game so much more competitive and fun.

our system works good right now, but still, our last picks are so dreadful, they are almost pointless


I had an idea, but I don't know how fair it is.

I think if u have won a game, u should always remain in the top league to ensure the best.

Me and Hammy have 3 wins
Malcolm and Cowbell 2 wins
Evo and GNRfan with 1 each

so if the top 3 of game B replaced the bottom 3 of game A, it could work

people bitching cause they finished above a champ? Go win a title. this way the best of the best are always playing

cause look at this.

I am passionate about winning the most games.

if Hammy,Malcolm and Gnrfan or Cowbell were in game B and I win  my 4th title...... I don't know, I just feel it would be a bit tainted and deserving of an asterik cause I didn't beat the guy tied with me or the others chasing me.

^ Yeah but past history is unfair to new players who weren't involved in those games, its a tricky one I know, I'll see if there's any other ideas.

I don't think winning should. Keep you in the prmier league forever. Right now I'm in 12th and if I get demoted by a group vote I'm fine with. it. But I think a 1 game exception for the current champion would be ok..... ;)

I agree. If you have a bad game then BAD LUCK!

My only point is is there a point in doing another game to split people? Why not just do it this game? Top Half qualify.... Bottom half are relegated.

But then i can see how that might look. I have no problems going to a bottom league if i pick a team and it sucks.... I just hope it doesn't happen coz of an injury or something like that.

Entertain this idea for just a second


what if we had two leagues, same rules etc


Both have individual drafts BUT we only have ONE leaderboard?


Hope I make sense with this

just two separate drafts, maybe Hammy, u could randomize it somehow where there is a good mix of past champs/new people in each game.
that way if say Me,Hammy,GNRfan were in one draft, Malcom,Evo and Cowbell were in a nother, no one could really scream FOUL or bullshit that someone had easier comp to draft against.

It would have to be balanced.

We could say.

1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 15th from the current game in one league. (8 Players) + 1 from the waiting list = 9

2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th and 14th from the current game in the other. (7 Players) + 2 from the waiting list = 9

The main issue you could get is a "Well he only won because I was in the other league and his opponents weren't as good" etc.

But I do like the idea in principle.

You could argue its the luck of who you end up with, I mean we already play the "luck of the draw" card in the respect of the draft order.

Well, people are going to have excuses no matter how u slice it but let's be real, we have people in this draft and previous drafts that have really helped others unintentionally by drafting poor. just the nature of the beast. I am sure I helped out somebody when i took DH Smith 3rd overall a few games ago just as Rasputin helped me out by taking Shannon Moore and u could go through the drafts and it happens.


If i take Yoshi instead of Reks and it was a coin flip, this isn't even a game right now, so i helped someone by taking Reks and giving them Yoshi

so it all evens out.

If u are good at this game and draft well, u will compete.


Although, how would we divide up both games for the next one to ensure u aren't drafting against the same people every single game??

I haven't thought that far ahead with it
