Draft Proposal - Partial Reassignment Weighted Draft

The P&P Team has created a number of proposals for the draft for the team to review and vote on. Only one may be selected and rejecting all proposals is an option. Please use this thread for discussion of this proposal. Thanks!

Much like professional sport teams which have budgets, top players cannot be retained each year and this principle drives this proposal to maintain fairness but allow for the teams to retain some of their key members each year.

Each team counts their remaining MissFits All-Star Travel Team skaters. The lowest number of returning skaters is the number of skaters that each team may retain going into the draft. The captain(s) choose which skaters are retained and they are included in this count (so a team with two captains starts off with 2). All non-retained skaters are placed in the draft pool.

The draft will be conducted in a weighted round robin format and each team has been equalized so pick order is determined randomly. A weighted round robin goes through each team for each round but every round the pick order is reversed so round one is A B C and round two is C B A and so on. This process is repeated until all skaters in the draft eligible pool have been selected.

There are 3 skaters who do not have a rank (me being 1 of them) but I am a capt. So I would be counted as 1 of the 2, however I do not have a rank....so how would that work?? Sorry I read this a few times and just trying to understand it

If you plan on playing during this season, you would be counted as a travel team skater because you were one. This doesn't go by rank but by current/last known travel team affiliation.

So Team A has 4 Travel Team skaters, Team B has 5 Travel Team skaters, Team C has 3 Travel Team Skaters. All teams can retain 3 skaters from their current roster and the rest go back into the draft pool. This will cause a lot of team churn each year and helps to solve the over affiliation complaint where skaters treat their home team as more important than the MissFits as a whole. The skaters retained do not have to be the travel team skaters, the captains choose who is retained by the team. The travel team skater count is just what determines the number of skaters that they're allowed to retain. It could just as easily be a fixed number (say 5 for example) and that's each teams annual budget for retained skaters. Captains pick the 5 that they keep, the rest are elligible for being redrafted (and the team could pick them up again in the draft if another team doesn't grab them first).
