Years ago I tried to make what I called a "Draft File". The premise behind the Draft File was to watch prospects start out as freshmen in high school and develop all while only knowing their stats, knowing how their skills fit a critera (i.e. above average power), and never knowing their exact ratings until after the draft. Maybe they got drafted after their senior year of high school, maybe they went on to college where they couldn't be drafted again until their junior year, or even the JUCO ranks where they could be drafted after one season. Eligible draftees would have a "signability" percent attached to their age, so that not all high school seniors were drafted, allowing some to fill the open spots created by departing college seniors.
For FCM I'm not wanting to leave unknowns of ratings, skills, etc... I'm wanting to select 5-10 draftees, make it known that those are the signability players, and seeing it unfold on draft day with the following signability list:
Drafted-- HS SR JC FR JC SO CL JR
Top 15-- 100% 100% 100% 100%
Top 30-- 75---- 100--- 100--- 100
Top 45-- 50---- 75---- 100--- 100
Top 60-- 25---- 50---- 75---- 100
Top 75-- 1----- 25---- 50---- 75
Top 90-- 0----- 1----- 25---- 50
To figure out the signability, I would use Random.org's dice roller using the following to figure out if the player signs or not.
1. If at #30, the Team drafted a HS SR, they would have a 75%.
2. Using a 4-sided dice, the Team would have to choose a number.
3. The dice would be rolled 4 times and the Team would have to correctly guess 1 of the 4 times. (The 1% would need to be 4 out of 4 to sign).
4. If the Team failed to sign the draftee, they would get a compensation pick in next year's draft 1 slot behind the pick they failed to sign (so, 31 in this case).
5. Teams would not get a compensation pick if they fail to sign draftees selected as compensation picks.
6. For selecting these players, Teams would get a 50% discount on Winterball for the draftee in the future.
I will also put together some sort of file to track these players. Going back to example, if the HS SR didn't sign, we'll say he goes to a 4-year college, so he would not be eligible to be drafted until another 3 seasons. He would be entered in the file and it would be simmed, while the player's jumps/drops would factor when he's re-entered into the draft pool.
There's potential that I could re-create the original draft file that I had in a much smaller scale for this league. That way you guys could watch players develop starting out as freshman in high school. This could also alleviate the utility suggestion concerns. Lastly, there would be the potential for input from GMs on which players are picked to be the ones to come aboard to the FCM draft class.
