Well hallo there, How about a new thread for the New Year!
Did some thinking about something I would like to house rule in to aid the teams that finished at the bottom of the league and thought I would throw it out. I hope that I do not ramble on too much in this as I am still mulling it through. So with you fully warned that my thought processes may not be stable - off we go!
Ok so I am assuming a 10-20 team league here. (I believe that this could work with more or less but may need to be tweaked)
lets say 10 teams to start with, the season has been fun and the teams at the top have rightly won the big prize and stomped the rest mercilessly under their boots. Wahey!
Now the team at the bottom, for reasons of fragility or coaching frailty are now understrength and whilst I get that the inducements will help a bit to level the playing field it would not hurt to give the teams a shot at recruiting the hottest new prospects from the minor's and college teams
How I envision this working is similar to the NFL Draft.
10 teams finished as follows
1. Dark Elves
2. Orcs
3. Norse
4. Undead
5. Necro
6. Dwarves
7. Skaven
8. Lizardmen
9. Human
10. Wood Elf
lets assume each team would get to recruit at least 1-2 draftees because we don't want to build up or overly penalise the top teams lets say that there are 15 fresh players looking to find a team.
However, we do not want to name and racially profile them yet....
So the Draft order for picks would go
1. Wood Elf
2. Human
3. Lizardman
4. Skaven
5. Dwarves
6. Necro
7. Undead
8. Norse
9. Orcs
10. Dark Elves
11. Wood Elf
12. Human
13. Lizardman
14. Skaven
15. Dwarves
The 15 draftees could for example be rolled up randomly (for example)
2 - Throwers / Runner
3 - Blitzers / Blockers
5 - 0-16 position players
1 - Big Guys
2 - Catchers
2 - Special (Slayer, witch elf etc)
They could then be randomly awarded D3 advances that would reflect in the TV cost that would be applied to the roster of the team who secure him.
Now the teams would pick in draft order until all picks are taken, but there would be a chance for negotiation and pick trading. lets say that the obvious choice for No.1 Pick is a thrower who gained +1 St, +1AG and a double roll, but none of the top 3 teams need or can have him, (i.e. if the top 3 teams included lizards, chaos and Ogres) They could offer to trade their tope 3 pick for a later pick to a team lower down in exchange for a small cash fee. or if the team is fully rostered, they could exchange a pick in this draft for a pick in the next end of season bun-fight or just for cash if that was preferable.
the benefit to this system is it would give a lower teams some bargaining room and fresh legs to throw into the following season - a nucleus around which to start formulating strategies. Especially if they were hit hard and were close to retiring the team..... Inducements will work nicely alongside this and the non race specific nature of the draft will eliminate any need to reconsider Ally rules.
thoughts? amendments? suggestions to improve? |
