February-April Drafting Thread (Division A)

[Shrykespeare]

As of this Friday, here is how it stands (I'll just post the numbers for both leagues).

Division A
1. surfer, 34 pts (G.I. Joe, The Angels' Share)
T2. transformers, 32 pts (The Place Beyond the Pines... The Big Wedding)
T2. Chien, 32 pts (The Croods, 42)
T2, W, 32 pts (The Company You Keep, Oblivion... Kon-Tiki)
5. Buscemi, 10 pts (none... Pain & Gain)

Division B
1. empire, 36 pts (The Place Beyond the Pines, The Angels' Share)
2. leestu, 27 pts (42... The Reluctant Fundamentalist)
3. ozzy, 19.5 pts (none... The Big Wedding)
4. UDM, 19.5 pts (In the House... Pain & Gain)
5. Banks, 14 pts (Oblivion... At Any Price)
6. Shryke, 9 pts (G.I. Joe, Scary Movie 5, The Company You Keep... Kon-Tiki)

[Leestu]

I'm owning second position in B division. Third or fourth time in a row now!!

[silversurfer19]

Very close for Divison A. Funny to think it's quite possible W could take top spot in the final weekend from his lowly fourth. Though I'd think it's probably going to go to tranny.

So remind me, how many players change division from A to B and B to A ? Two ?

I'm actually tied for second.

I thought it was just one...

[W]

It's one. I liked two better, but we agreed on one.

[Chienfantome]

Alright, I just couldn't remember.

[empire13]

Are Banks' numbers including Escape From Planet Earth? Or, excluding it? Just curious because it's not on his slate on the site, but he drafted it.

[Shrykespeare]

I can add them to the stats to make sure.

[Shrykespeare]

Based on this weekend's estimates, here is how the Quarterly Draft will finish out.

Division A:
1. W, 36 pts
2. Chien, 30.5 pts
3. tranny, 29.5 pts
4. surfer, 28 pts
5. Buscemi, 11 pts

Division B:
1. empire, 30 pts
2. Banks, 27.5 pts
3. leestu, 24.5 pts
4. UDM, 19 pts
5. ozzy, 18 pts
6. Shryke, 10 pts


So, the next draft will go like this:

Division A:
1. Surfer
2. Tranny
3. Chien
4. W
5. empire

Division B:
1. Boosh
2. Shryke
3. ozzy
4. UDM
5. leestu
6. Banks

Here's my reasoning... empire wins Division B, but going to Division A should be its own reward, and giving people moving up a promotion AND the #1 pick seems excessive. He's earned a spot in the top division, now let's see if he's wily enough to stay there. Likewise, Boosh WAS in Div. A, but now is in Div. B, so he shouldn't have to draft last. Being demoted but getting the #1 pick should balance things out.

Does anybody agree with me?

Or, if we want to go strictly on a reward-reward system, the draft order can reflect how the last draft ended. Something like this:


Division A:
1. W
2. Chien
3. tranny
4. surfer
5. empire

Division B:
1. Boosh
2. Banks
3. leestu
4. UDM
5. ozzy
6. Shryke

[W]

Wow, I drafted last and spent just $71 and won the league? I may have to rethink my overall strategy.

Well, I will say that the last draft gave the promoted player the first pick, and I was wily enough to draft last and finish first in the current league's draft, but I understand your logic. So, I guess I won't get the opportunity to own Hunger Games in the year long box office draft and Iron Man in the quarterly ultimate draft. Hope drafting last won't demote me back to Division B as quickly as I was promoted to Division A.

[Shrykespeare]

I've solidified the May-June pricing schemes, but the July films have not been added to the Master List.

I will wait a couple of days before creating all of the leagues.

I would like to get everyone's take on which draft system we should employ here.

[silversurfer19]

[Ahem] First system.
