So points are just for having the right player in the right draft number slot.

Yeah, if you or anyone can think of other ways to score it, I'm open to suggestions.

No that is the best way to do it… just as I think through it I will factor in some trades at the top.

 

[David Hume]

Note that like MT Steve, I’m really just guessing player drafting order.

I say 1 point each for picks 1-5, 2 each for picks 6-10, 3 each for 11-15, 4 for 16-20, 5 for 21-25, and 6 for 26-30.

Or could do 1 for 1-10, 2 for 11-20, and 3 for 21-30. Guessing correctly on later picks is far tougher and should be awarded more points imo.

I was promised there would be no math involved.

If you get the 27th pick right that's just blind luck. I see no reason to award more points for later picks.

If there is a tie at first we can do some sort of tiebreaker (like most players in your 30 who made the first round regardless of order).

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm confident a random name generator with 40 of the aggregate top prospects on big boards will be more accurate than I was 17-30

If you get the 27th pick right that's just blind luck. I see no reason to award more points for later picks.

If there is a tie at first we can do some sort of tiebreaker (like most players in your 30 who made the first round regardless of order).

It’s not necessarily blind luck. We sometimes correctly match team need and player.
