how do you use the draft list?

findinghomer · 03-14-2010, 12:14 PM

i see you make a list of up to 40 people to select per round, and you select which round up at top right. but what i dont understand is the "and" "or". i mean i kind of get it but not totally. for example i have a 16th pick , a 23 pick , and a supplemental pick. originally i set my list with or, up to the 16th pick (since i pick 16) where i then selected "and" then made a list up to pick 23 (i will select 23 also) with "or". so i would get player A from top list AND player B from the bottom list

my question though is if i have a someone available from my top 16 on the list that are marked "or" will they be selected before goin to the "and list" (the 17-23 guys on the list) or will it only pick ONE guy from the 1-16 list, then ONE guy from the 17-23 list? or if it i put them ALL to "and" will it just go through and select whoever is available come my pick?

arghhhhh that sounds so confusing. hope someone gets it

The and/or selection seems confusing to me, not what my intuition tells me. But the "and" should be used in the normal sense of ranking players by order (take the first in my list if available, then the second in my list,...).

The "or" is used if for a certain pick you wanted one of several players, as in if you wanted one shortstop for your second pick, you could put "shortstop A or shortstop B or shortstop C".

so if i just simply make my entire list with "and" will i be guaranteed to get whoever is available from that list when i pick?

YES... as long as the list exists in the correct round. I use the copy function and then paste to all rounds.

Once a player within an "OR" chain is selected, the entire "OR" chain will be skipped if you have another pick come up.

If you have the top two picks in a draft and you do this:
SP1 and SP2 and 3b1 and 3b2
You would end up with: SP1 and SP2

IF you do this:
SP1 or SP2 and 3b1 or 3b2
you would end up with SP1 and 3b1 (even though SP2 is still available)
