Mavs Forum ReDraft

[BlondeBomber41]

Yeah I think we all like our teams and are shocked at our rankings. I'm just eager to find out what PSD thinks of our rosters. I don't really like leaving 2 teams off each conference. I thought this was was a contest of who has the best team and we would let PSD decide.

The East could easily rank the WORST Western Conference teams so they can go against the easier teams, and the West could rank the WORST Eastern Conference teams so they can go against the easier teams. If the non-participants decided the ranking, no one could use that argument.

The only true and fair way is to have PSD rank the head-to-heads using the draft order to decide the match-ups.

Number 1 pick vs. Number 16 pick
Number 2 pick vs. Number 15 pick
Number 3 pick vs. Number 14 pick
Number 4 pick vs. Number 13 pick
Number 5 pick vs. Number 12 pick
Number 6 pick vs. Number 11 pick
Number 7 pick vs. Number 10 pick
Number 8 pick vs. Number 9 pick

So in your head you think that the FAIR thing to do is automatically stick the team that got to pick 1st at the top of the rankings and automatically stick the team that picked last at the bottom?

You're right, seems totally fair.

How is it NOT fair? Rankings are irrelevant as PSD is going to vote on which team is better. There really is no point for rankings. It wouldn't make a difference to me if I was 16th playing against the 1st... it won't change the outcome of the vote in a matchup. I don't understand why you .

Home court advantage is sometimes the deciding factor for voting, so seeding does matter alot.

That is the point I was making... It doesn't seem fair that a small group of people (not all of PSD) gets to decide the outcome. If we ranked by letter instead of number, we could either A.) eliminate the home court advantage or B.) allow PSD to rank them (although that would be a little redundant as they would be voting the winner in each head-to-head matchup).

I don't understand what is so difficult to understand my point. :P

Either way, I'm ready for this. Good luck everyone!

3rd seed thought I'd go lower as I got some underrated players on my team
