Outahere does a variation of this and is where I got the thinking to implement something like this. So, it works if ran properly and (not to come of as smug, but) if you listen to the way I'm saying to have it set up it'll work and draft night will go smoothly. Hell, I'd even toss my hat in the ring to run it if DJ isn't here or in the least coordinate the Sandwich portions of the draft. Here's the best way I can explain the entire process.
- Compensation rankings (Type A/B) and fallback arbitration are ran like normal.
- The compensation player threads are ran like normal, with subjectivity towards offers having to truly be better than accepting the fallback arbitration.
- Once free agency has concluded, the sandwich round order is determined by the player's compensation score. Teams losing Type A players get a pick between rounds 1 and 2 while losing a Type B gets you a pick between rounds 2 and 3.
- Teams getting sandwich round picks get the corresponding 5th or 6th round pick (4th round, if necessary) on the game file.
- A thread is created and pinned in the Draft forum listing out the draft order for the sandwich rounds.
- During the draft the thread will be updated with the picks as we go so that all GMs can have a reference of those who still appear as "available" in-game, but are actually taken.
- Then when we get to the 5th and 6th round (4th round, if necessary), the corresponding sandwich round picks are now entered in-game.
