MOCK DRAFT Contest 2023

[TEM]

This is just a preliminary conscience.

I have it configured in a way that it can be done in real-time. (Pick on the clock) I have tested it. The concept is viable to accomplish   We are going to only do Day one and day two (rounds 1-3). After round 3. It is trying to shoot flies out t of the air with a bb gun. No one ever gets it right.  So. no more day 3 

I streamed the rules to make less complected  Pick, School, Position and some bonus question ( Top 10 pick and Giants Rds 1 through 3)

I just want to know. Should we try it in real-time or go back to mocking the entire draft before it starts? 


EDIT:

We are going to do it 2 ways: You choose which you would like to participate in 

A traditional mock :(the same rules and questions as last year) except for 2 changes 

I added a selection for the school that will reward 10 points for each correct response.

Last year. We mocked Mr. Irrelevant's name. I am changing to what position he plays.

Along with a traditional mock you will have a choice to do a Hybrid (Realtime for days 1 and 2 of the draft, Rounds 1 2 and 3) and a traditional mock for 4-7


The formats for both need to be: 
Player: first and last name,
Position QB, RB, TE, WR, OL, DT, Edge, ILB, DB, ST.
School (Player's NCAA school)
Example: Joe Shmo QB Ohio State

Picks will be:

Top 10 picks in the first round.
Giants picks 10 picks total.
R1 
R2
R3 
R4 
RD5 pick 1
RD5 pick 2
RD6
RD7 Pick 1
RD7 pick 2
RD7 pick 3
If a trade occurs mock 2 players on each day of the draft, that you think may be chosen. 
Trade Day 1
Trade Day 1
Trade Day 2
Trade Day 2
Trade Day 3
Trade Day 3

Round 1 top ten
Pick 1
Pick 2
Pick 3
Pick 4
Pick 5
Pick 6
Pick 7
Pick 8
Pick 9
Pick 10


The questions the same as last year. With the exception to Mr. Irrelevant

Bonus Questions:

Will the Giants make a trade, yes/no/.

Most positions drafted for Defense/ Offense/ Tie

Time of first round without going over H:M

Most picks for Giants from a School

Who will be traded from the Giants (name pf player)

Will there be a trade within the 1st 10 picks yes/no

Mr. Irrelevant position (position he plays)



If you chose to go with the Hybrid 

Here are the rules regarding the Realtime portion. (Days 1 and 2, RDs 1,2, and 3)

A) Partain's to (Top 10) and (Giants' rounds 1,2,3) Each pick will have its own thread to write your selection in.... RD 1 pick 1 will have its own thread RD pick 2 will have its own thread...... The format will be: (Player: First/Last name, Position, School)

B) Each GM will have 3 minutes to make their selection per pick. After the 3 minute mark the thread will be locked.

Once The GM makes His or Her selection. It's final.

I suggest if you choose to take part in the real time mock. Set a draft board before the draft starts.

For Giants' rounds 1 through 3. A 2-point disadvantage instead of 10,12,14 points. It will be 8,10,12. Top 10 will 8 points.

Since real time is an inherent advantage. Only 8 points will be awarded for rules 2-4 . A 2 point disadvantage to a Traditional Mock


C) For the first 3 rounds The point totals for Rules 2,3,5 are not the same as a traditional mock

Rules 2 and 3 (position, School) will be rewarded 5 points for each correct selection.

No points will be received for rule 5 points. The traditional section. Rounds 4 through 7, the points are the same as the traditional mock. There is no net to mock trade picks on days 1 and 2.

If the Giants acquire additional picks in rounds 1 through 3. Just pick the player in real time





So let me know what you will be doing. A Traditional mock or The Hybrid. (the configuration is different)


Any question I will try to answer.

Fees for answers
Correct answer $10.
Ambiguous answers $5.
Dumb looks are free.

If you click on the index (page) tab 
Each participant's name in the index page will also act as link to that individual's spreadsheet.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet.

I say put in mock (could be entire draft or just two rounds) prior to draft. Doing it in real time lends me to think that alot more folks will get picks the same and therefore there wont be much of a difference in the point scoring. Gives a much higher chance that multiple people tie for 1st place.

Other factor is might not have alot of participation if done in realtime. There’s pros and cons to that for sure.

Just my 2 cents..as always, thanks for organizing this.

[Fletch842]

Since I watch the draft every year, I could handle either, but I think overall, a pre-draft mock the way we've been doing it will work for more folks. Thanks for putting it together, it's been fun to play in.

[shocknaweny]

I'm IN

[TEM]

I configured it both ways. It does not matter to me,
I will add a poll.

[nygfanstrick]

I’m in! Love the live pick element. I’ve tried to think of the best way to do that for years now with the entire draft. 1st round seems much more feasible

I am thinking Hybrid.  the first 3 in real time 4-7 a traditional mock

That would be fun.

I prefer mock, but that is only because I will be traveling internationally and won’t be able to participate live.

[TEM]

Rosie added the poll for me.

Vote for how we should do the draft this year.

[fifthavephil]

How about everyone picks the first round only , 24 hrs. , before the draft.
Then between the end of first round and 3 hours before day two draft starts. Everyone picks round two and three. Same for third day of draft. Just an idea.

I thought about that. I have trouble with have the members being compliment with havin their mock in the time I give. What you suggest overly complicated to coordinate.

[TheAnalyst]

Normally we are picking top 10. Going to be hard to nail that 25th pick this year.

[TEM]

I will leave the poll open until the beginning of FA.

I am good either way.

Just let me know who will be participating.

[fifthavephil]

I am in .

[keyofgmen]

I like the idea of live picks. The potential problem is getting called away for whatever reason and missing the pick. Would there be some kind of "auto pick" if you do miss it? Probably too hard to set up, I imagine.

Whatever, I'm in.

Good point. I am sure, I could work in a default pick that each member that choses not do a traditional mock.  Most going to give each option.

I edited the OP

Please read the new OP

The spreadsheet is configured . I should have the testing completed in a few weeks. I will post the link in the OP when I feel it is working as designed.
