Jumping the Shark Draft

As of now, you're the first person on the bench. Reckon if there are still people who haven't sent in their nominations by this time tomorrow night (which will make it 48hrs since I asked for them) they're out, and you're in. At the moment, it's only been 24hrs, which might be a bit stiff for some if I've caught the time difference badly for them, or they've just had a bad day in terms of not being able to get on.

Should say that if after all ten sets of nominations have been received, if we have players tied that result in them not lining up with the two categories of ban, I'll cast the deciding votes, just so we can move things along. Eg, if players ranked 1-7 are clear cut, but then we have 6 players all on the same amount of votes, I'll pick the three players out of those six who are included in the top 10, and if the top 27 players are clear cut, but then we have the next eight players tied up, I'll pick the ones out of those eight that take the last spots.

I'll only do this for players that are tied up after all ten drafters have made their noms.

Thanks Julien and Michael - that's everyone all aboard - will announce picking order for first round in as long as it takes me to rip up ten bits of paper and draw them from a hat.

BTW, rather than me making casting votes on tied players straddling the ban cut-off point, I used a random number generator to select the required number of players from amongst the tied group to go in.

So presumably Garner was available then? Or do we have to wait until the end of round 1 before you'll announce that?

Have to wait til the end of the round... muhahahhaha! :evil:

But will list who's picked what as we go to avoid (more than the inevitable given how complex this is turning out until we get used to it) confusion.

Hey Matt, can you let us know the number of votes the highest person received?
