How many keepers

Holy crap, the draft is tomorrow. Oh well, this can go for a day, then.

How come SMF doesn't have the option for a public poll?

Anyways, vote!

I think 2 sounds about right, anymore and I think we run the risk of it being unfair. Imagine someone getting lucky and keeping three stars, THEN getting the top draft spot next year.

The draft order next year will be reverse order of finish I think, so they'd have to be pretty lucky to get three major stars and still come in last place.

Uh oh... better watch out for tankers.

Ah, didn't know that.  Still I think 2 is a good number, I think theres a big dropoff from round 3 in a draft to round 4, and if we keep three then we will essentially be starting with a round 4 draft next year.  Hard to get excited about a new season when someone like Hasselbeck is slated to be the first pick in the draft ya know what I mean?

And charlie... what do you mean by a "public poll"?

Fuckin' a, even the poll is split 50-50. There's 8 people in the league and 7 have voted. Who's the tiebreaking vote??

In vbForums there is the option to display which user voted for which item when you show the current results, in other words the voting is made public. This would be nice here to see who voted for what, and also to see if the people actually in the league were the ones voting. The option is set when the poll is created and a "warning" is displayed above the poll so people know their votes will be public.

Hey obe don't forget to make the changes from the other thread, please. If the poll remains tied I say you can break it yourself since you're going through the extra hassle of commissionatering.

Thanks for the reminder.  I made all the changes and set the Keepers to 2.
