I get it. Good idea, can't wait till this is in action. I would advise one of the admins get personal responses via forums or IRC from every captain saying they completely understand this formula so that draft day there isn't a shit storm.

[Sauron]

Why not raise the minimum salary, too? $100 players are absolutely key to every stacked team in draft history.

good work ulo

How'd I end up with such an awful team compared to the others in that mock draft?

I'll take your word that it's a better system, but that mock doesn't demonstrate that.

EDIT EDIT: Ok did my own mock draft and it seems that everything works out better!

Good work ulo.

It was an example rick. Mathematically, this system definitely balances the disadvantage that mid salaried captains had before.

Rick those rankings aren't accurate for saCTF anyway, so I'd pay little attention to the players - only the salaries - when it comes to the mock.

[InfamousRaider]

Rick, Your team actually looks pretty good. Not the best, but definitely not the worst

So to be clear, i don't HAVE to pick one of the highest ranked players that round if i don't want to? i could get anyone

But if i'm the highest ranked player and i haven't bought myself already, i have to pick myself that round

If you want all the higher/middle rated players on teams and all the lower rated players as free agents then you might as well just get rid of the salary cap.

Back in #mlut they did some drafts where they just drafted every single player to teams. No salary cap, no free agents. It worked out just fine. If you combine that with your captain drafting system it could work out. Just some old ideas that might could be used in future drafts.

This system seems pretty cool, good luck .

If no lower ranked players are being picked, either the salary cap needs decreased quite a bit, or needs eliminated altogether.

You would still have mercenaries in the FA pool, but that is where they belong.
