Ok if anybody has any questions or concerns, just post them here and I'll answer any questions that you have about the 2006 coaster draft. The draft will start 1-1-05 and coasters that opened this year (Hades, Hydra, SheiKra, Kingda Ka, etc) will be included in the draft.
Object and Order of Events: First we will have everyone sign up. There are only 20 slots, so jump in ASAP. Next I will randomly choose the order of the first round of choosers. We will go down the list from 1-20 with each person choosing a coaster of their desire. After we have been through all 20 people, we will do it again with a reorganized list of people. We repeat the process until each person has 12 coasters in their park. Then, we will start the voting.
Simply put, 1-join 2-pick when its your turn.
Just to go over a few of the important rules:
Banned: If for any reason you are banned during the draft, you will forfeit any picks that come up during the time you are banned, no exceptions. Also, if it is a permanent ban, you are eliminated from the draft. So stay out of trouble.
Coasters: Coaster can be from anywhere and they must be active coasters. If a coaster is experiencing downtime, this does not mean it's not considered an active coaster. But if a coaster has not run in over a year or so or is not even standing any longer, it's not active. Also, once a coaster has been picked, you may not pick it. However, if there are clones of that coaster, you can pick those. Be specific in what coaster you pick by also naming the park it resides at.
24 hours: When it is your selection, you have 24 hours from when the person before you has selected their coaster to pick your coaster. Also, depending on the situation, if I see that you are online and posting elsewhere and are neglecting to check the Coaster Draft, I will PM or IM you to remind you it is your turn. If you still haven't picked within a six hour span, the next person will be able to choose.
You can't be online all the time: If for some reason, you think that you won't be online during your pick because of any reason, PM or email me at coastercraverjim@msn.com your selection of coasters in the order that you would want them and I will pick for you on your behalf. It also helps if I have your MSN s/n. Feel free to IM me if you need anything.
Voting: The winner will be determined by voting from any WWS/CC member. Members will PM me their choice of the top 2 parks giving them points based on their order. The first park on their list gets 100pts, and 2nd 50. I will add up the points and the person with the most in the end, WINS!
Sign-up will be limited to 20 people and the people who were in the last draft have first dibs. YOU HAVE UNTIL TUESDAY AT 12PM CENTRAL TIME TO JOIN IF YOU WERE IN THE LAST DRAFT. Others can join before then but the former drafters have priorety over you. All joining will end 1-1-05 at 1am central time. Please post any questions you here, if you have a question after the draft begins, PM me it.
