DBN Community NFL Reshuffle Draft: Group Stage
Here's how the group stage works: We keep following the snake format, but the clock will open for groups of 8 players at time (you may see them currently labeled A,B,C,D). Managers in a group can make their picks when they see it’s their group’s turn. After the clock is up, we move on to the next group, even if everyone from the previous group hasn’t picked yet. That skipped team is still able to make their pick from the available players at any time after they’ve been skipped.
The snake format would remain A>B>C>D>D>C>B>A>A>B>C>D>D… etc. And the last rule would be, if we make it ~3 groups ahead and there’s still a team that hasn’t not picked, we fill it in with an auto-picked BPA per the player rankings.
Check the comments before picking. Managers will be asked to pick from the available players, similar to how skipped managers have been doing so far in the game. If two manager post a comment at the same time, claiming the same player, priority will then go to who’s ever higher in the current snake format.
If the comments are not at the same time, priority will be given to whoever made the pick first. (We’ll give the second commenter the benefit of the doubt, assume the thread may not have updated soon enough for them. But when the notice the situation, they can repick.)
One very important side note: players on the end groups will not be making two picks at a time. For example, Group D will make third round picks. Then, after all of group d has picked or the clock rounds out, Group D will make their fourth round picks. (The same thing for Group A on the other end of the snake.)
If we allowed double picking, even in this grouping format, you’d be jumping more more than just a few spots. The jump would be compounded, and it could be as many as 14 spot jump. For that reason, the process for groups on the ends will work as described in the above paragraph.
The pace has been consistently moving faster than the need for a clock. But it's currently:
First group of the day: 10am to 4pm.
Second group of the day: 4pm to 10pm
