Season 19 Draft

[The Sandmen]

As always, if you only plan on taking a point, you may draft your point any time before you are up (and please do so we are not waiting for you once you are on the clock for no reason). You do not have to wait for your turn in the draft. If you want a fighter, you must wait for your pick to come up.

Season 19 Draft is now live. If you are online and on the clock, you have 1 hour to make your selection. Once you are on the clock, you have 24 hours to sign in and make your pick. If you have not signed in in 24 hours, you will be skipped immediately. If you want to make sure you are not skipped and get the pick you want, PM ME A LIST OF WHO YOU WANT AND I WILL DRAFT THEM ON YOUR BEHALF. This keeps the draft moving at a good pace, and ensures you do not miss a fighter you were interested in.


Important Reminders:
- 1st pick in the 1st round is worth 2 points.
- If you are SWAPPING for a fighter of the same sex, you can make the swap AND take a point with your pick.
- If you are SWAPPING a male for a female, you can make the swap AND take a point for your pick.
- If you are SWAPPING a female for a male, you get no additional point.
- If you have less than 16 fighters, and you want to ADD a fighter without giving anyone up, you sacrifice your draft pick only - it will cost you no additional points.
- Remember, fighter eligibility changed last season. Check here or PM The Sandmen to confirm your pick if you have any questions or concerns.

Confirmed. Sorry Dozers... I would've taken your offer but Sandman "had to start this you cuz people were online..." Again, no benefit having the top pick if you don't want anyone available.

I had to "start this you cuz people were online"? lol, okay.

Guess you should have taken that, or any, offer then. I mean, standings have been posted for half a season, and Zenith has been done for several days. You had PLENTY of time to move the pick. But I get it - blaming me is far, far easier.

[xx - Former Bulldozers]

No I sent the offer late, my fault.

[The Sandmen]

Here's what I don't understand.

xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club is over the roster limit. He could have swapped a fighter he plans on dropping for Ben Askren and ended up with Ben Askren + 2 points here, in exchange for a fighter he has to lose anyway.

Then he could have taken your "late" offer, AND had his 2 points.

Meh well. To each their own.
