I decided to see how things would play out if players were grouped into "tiers" instead of salary.

Phr suggested 16 platinum players (I think a mandatory rule would have to be added that each team could only have one), 32 gold, 64 silver, rest bronze. Then I ran a draft based on the tier system. Platinum players are worth 4, gold 3, silver 2, bronze 1. The first round each team has a max of 5 points to spend, and they gain 2.5 points each round after. I think it's a nice system, though the cutoff points for tiers are difficult. If players are tied on points, then the captain ranked lowest gets to pick (the captains are the only players that really do need to be ranked numerically). The teams ended up pretty even (though there were errors like repeat players and I picked just the highest salary player available instead of picking for positions).

Advantages to tier system:

-$100 players aren't picked out of necessity just for salary cap reasons, the best players are drafted. Mid tier players aren't penalized for being ranked at a certain dollar amount and will almost certainly get picked.

-It's a lot less work to do rankings and plan ahead for drafting a team...it's a lot harder for captains to get confused dealing with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 as opposed to needing to spend x amount to get x player next round.

-There's a lot of leeway for player price under the salary system...different people could rate the same player several hundred dollars differently (and both lists could make sense). The tier system is more vague and gives the captains freedom to pick within tiers as they see fit.

-Captain salary didn't seem to matter as much when I ran the draft. Seemed more balanced, even for the middle captains.

These are the rankings I came up with, and the teams that I drafted based on that system:

[bbz]

r u a fukin genius white?

[whitechocakagod]

yes ty

[finalzje]

Rank me lower, im way overrated in platinum.

[BeasT]

This tier system looks good white, and makes sense. Good job and thx for the effort! I also think this way more players are going to actualy get some play time, and thats what its all about!!!

Personally i think i should be in silver, but i understand why i am rated this low, cuz after all i havent played a pug in 35 weeks lol.
Im getting a new pc plus monitor this week and hopefully be able to get my rating up in time for the salary's to be made final.

[ulo]

I have been thinking along the same lines for a long time white, happy to see others are in the same ballpark. I hope we can have a good discussion about how drafts will be handled going forward to encourage people of all salaries to signup and to captain.

Good effort but for now it's to late to implement.

[maestroLOQ]

Makes a lot of sense, good job.

Easy overview, easy picking.

Also the rankings looking quite accurate.

i need glasses, cant see my name in a few lists

[whitechocakagod]

I didn't recognize you, heavy. Or like 15ish other people. My bad :[

[Darkside]

[HUMPTY]

why is ravonix so low..

[kud]

zein sturm kengzta impure seem a bit underrated in these lists imo. also raise rickjames for almost capping after getting a holy shit on control</meta>

[akito]

massie 1100-1200 easy , k-os^ also minimum 1100, joschde 1000+, sponge 1000 also, crux and shadow also need to be higher, blaze is also underrated. and ravonix 1300+ imo

[Sauron]

white list still definitely lacking. The tiers I made in the initial post were to get a firm grasp of things - on my next update I will be applying some more changes plus implementing salaries in the way I described in the initial post.
