How do you feel about drafting for other members that cant make draft?

Recommended Posts

Guys in my big $$$ league are in a few other leagues.

One of the leagues a firefighter can not make the draft Sunday.

They asked me to fill in for them...

3-4 of my biggest competition in our $$ league are in this league. :wall:

At first I was like alright sure...I will help out the guy...then I went to bed... :doh:

I awoke thinking man these guys are going to get an idea on whom I targeting. :nono:

I text my friend and told him I changed my mind and cant do it. :argue:

 

What would you have done? :dunno:

Tough call, but I would've done the same thing. I play in several leagues with a couple buddies & they've been trying to pick my brain on some player's. I threw up a smoke screen & mentioned guy's I'm not targeting.

 

The year Foster broke out, I drafted him late in our 1st draft together & the one guy caught on. He snagged him in our other two drafts after that. Lesson learned.

 

Die hardship like ourselves put the extra time in for a reason & shouldn't have to give up our strategy for the sake of another.

 

Is your buddy you were gonna fill in for upset about your decision?

Nah thats not a big deal, You can just draft guys near your preferred target and it wont make a difference.

My buddy did that with moreno. My first of 3 drafts with him i told everyone how they all missed the boat on moreno. He then took moreno relatively early the next 2 drafts.

I already decided against it...they are getting another guy to fill in. :thumbsup:

You missed your chance to lead your leaguemates astray and still draft a quality team for him. Blown opportunity that i would love to have.

A few years ago some friends started up a league, and the initial draft was old skool -- large paper and markers. As an aside, I miss those days of doing drafts that way.

 

Anyway, somebody couldn't make it, so I volunteered to let them pick the BPA from my cheatsheet. His team ended up stacked, at least in my opinion at the time (he made the playoffs).

 

It was a fun league, no money, but it still sucked. The "fun" is kicking your friends' asses, right? And I wasn't even faced with the ethical dilemma of actually picking players; it was straight from the sheet.

 

The only way to handle a no-show is to autodraft from the site, or his list if he bothers to adjust it. In hindsight I think we could have done it even though we used a paper/marker method (the commish later entered the teams).
