*NEW* Draft Format and Information

Ok new draft for the 2k10. Shit most players that are playing now missed out on the earlier drafts or made one or two of them. This will be a new system done on Steam alone.

You must be part of the draft Steam group to be a part of the draft.

Timeline for the draft

6:00pm - Draft event begins - everyone is to join the draft steam group chat page (That means you can see everything going on while in-game. If you decide to not be captain you don't really need to pay attention until...more on that later)

6:15pm - Waiting for players - 32 is the goal. That would be 8 teams of 4. Second goal is 24 for 3v3. Depends on time.

6:30pm - The chat room will lock. Captains will be picked. (for the order I have used "The Hat" program that joule showed me.) There will be an overflow chat room for players that want to sub in. (Again join the chat and go about you business and you will be notified. Every draft has used subsitutions. Also if you drop a Third round pick, you will not get a 1st round pick to replace him)

6:45pm - Picks should be going right along. Once a captain is choosen for a team an admin will invite him/her to a Draft team steam group. The server information will be posted there. (Draft team groups will be cleared after every draft)

7:00pm - Teams should be finished picking and the games may start. The server info will be posted to the Draft team steam group pages

...finish later ( any suggestions on how to make this work better please feel free to post)

an abacus, perhaps

I say go with 3v3 teams since that is what eFPS is going to go with for league play (im assuming)

Might not be a bad idea, it will be easier to get to that number. Depends on the interest that we get. Just like that maps we would like to have at least on map that is the eFPS standard but keep things fresh with different maps as well

Here is a little more info on the Draft.
There is more to follow.

-The Draft will be 4 versus 4 (or 3 v 3, depending on participation) and will be run from Steam.
There are 8 different Draft Team Group pages created for the teams.

Team Captains will be picked (or coerced) and will be admin for their Team that night.

-Heres' how it will work.
All Draft members can check for any schedule changes and general information here.
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/draftg
Draft members will get periodic event updates.

On Draft night, event messages will go out to join this group chat. Team Captains will be decided and while they are picking, each Team Captain (1 - will assigned Admin for their own Draft Team group page, and get an invite for the Team Group. After selection, Team Captains will go to their Team group (Draft Team 5 for example) and they will invite their players and join chat there. On their page, the team will have server info to meet the other team.

Everything will be done in Steam. The Teams will be the only folks invited to their group, so they can use their own chat.

Summary:
Join this Group prior to Draft.
Team Capts will be picked and made Temp admin of their own Steam Team Group.
They will pick and invite their mates.
Join the server and kick ass.
The rest of the rules to follow.
--------------------------------
We are looking for Team Captains.
The Draft will most likely have a stable selection of 4 strong servers on a permanent basis.
Right now, it looks like the old Sunday Evening is best.

I will be a captain and 911 has two servers located in Dallas, Texas with efps plugins that anyone can use.

What Team do you want?
Lucky number?

Teams don't get decided until all the captains are picked. Then each captain gets a number at random.

We could use players that are willing to be admins. Anyone, Impala is willing to help so he is an admin. What i would like is an 'admin' in each 'team chat' to make sure everyone gets into the server ASAP.

Even in the small 8man draft we did the other day. Teams were set, server was set, but no one moved into the server nothing left to do but join. I had some other things i was taking care of and no one joined until I came back and said yes join the server. More people to just direct people will speed up everything.

ill be an admin/captain/whatever

Not seeing a timezone listed anywhere.

thanks, i did not put it on this part. kinda was walking out the door and just got up something for the time being. I will likely not finish this until after the draft this Sunday.

Da11as will be out of town for this, and he said I could take his spot temporarily this week.
