BOSI -- Automatic amateur draft lists

CommishJoe · 05-04-2003, 11:18 PM

I just done coding something that should greatly increase the speed of amateur drafts.

On the team page, there is a Make Amateur Draft list link. Owners will go there, and choose the players they want. There are buttons that enable them to shuffle players around on their list.

As players are selected, they will be removed from everyone's list automatically.

When their pick comes up, the computer will automatically take the highest person on their list, and keep the draft rolling until it comes across a team with no list.

Right now, this is only deployed on the Central server. There is a league that's currently doing an ammy draft, and I'd like to test this live before a general release. Once I know for sure it's working right, I'll release patch #4 with this in it.

This appears to be working perfectly. I'll package it and release patch #4 tonight (tomorrow if real life gets too hectic).

very cool.

Yeah this is real nice

Ok, patch #4 released.

The IABL was able to get 15 picks done in about 2 minutes last night when the draft started

We've slowed down now that we've gotten to teams with no list entered, but I still thought that was pretty cool
