Draft

[AndyP]

This is something that was discussed in the C-box in the last draft but I wanted to bring it up formally.

As someone who does put some time and effort into the draft, I'm a little irritated by a handful of GMs handing off their draft to another GM to run for them. I wouldn't have a problem with this if the GM was handing them a list to go off of and trusting their judgement if something went awry. But the trend of "Eh...I don't want to so you do it" is growing more every year.

A simple suggestion: If you can't be at the draft - send a list or take the highest peak. If you want to send a list to another GM or DJ - that's fine too.

Here are the five options I'd like to see:

1) Be there!
2) Send DJ a list
3) Send another GM a list
4) Take the highest peak as auto-draft
5) Trade out

It's just irritating to put a lot of work in and then have some great drafters here pick 3-4 times the normal amount because they're doing someone a favor. Obviously some circumstances make that ok, but it's become a pattern now every draft.
