GCA Mock Fantasy Draft - NEED JUDGES

[Alex Miller]

I don't like the idea of trading individual courses, as it defeats the purpose of linking architects and their designs.
I do like Alex's idea of trading a set of picks with the option of swapping out the courses for other courses by the same designer. Would that really happen in practice though?  Seems like you'd give up one of your earlier picks for the right to swap-out a course. Although I must admit I'm mildly intrigued to find out what Tims asking price is for Ballyneal. What the heck...let the trading begin. Free for all as long as the two parties agree. Alex's swap-in applies only if you acquire three of the same designer (could be interesting if you piece together parts from separate deals).

You can't trade individual courses!

[Jay Flemma]

I think we can here since his three is one.  Lets make a deal off-list, then send it to the commish to ratify or shoot down.

[Jay Flemma]

A super blockbuster trade offer from JC just got rejected...

JC offered to give me Oakmont, if I gave Alex philly cricket, sleepy hollow, and quaker, and he got yale, fishers, and mid-ocean.

I declined...BUT counteroffered...

I give Philly cricket and quaker to alex, alex gives two of his raynors to JC, and JC gives me oakmont...I see an answer in my inbox now...

...cue jeopardy theme...

Tree house thoughts on this proposal?

I need Fishers to be one of the Raynors or this is NO DEAL

[Jim Colton]

I relented on my initial stance against trades. You can deal whatever combination of courses you own. If you acquire a course and want to swap for another course by the same designer, you have to own three of his courses though.

So I cant swap Oakmont for two Raynors b/c I dont have any other Raynor?

[Jay Flemma]

how do you own three fowneses? there aren't three?

we'll work something out then you can ratify!

I agree with JC that makes no sense...

[Alex Miller]

Basically you can't have more architects than picks! 4 rounds =4 architects or less

[Jay Flemma]

then that screws our deal because with my adding fownes, but still keeping a tille, I'll have 5.  I HOPE that's not the rule...one more thing...come on alex, lemme keep Sleepy Hollow...Phily cricket held a major and Quaker ridge is awesome...I'm a literary guy, I need Sleepy Hollow!

I thought you said you had autopicks lined up.

[Ben Sims]

Call me TEAM KOTEX....

Cause I'm stuck in first place.  Zing!!

[JC Jones]

No way, you blew your Raynor picks and left Fishers on the board.  Unforgiveable.

[Jim Colton]

Did Jay make a pick?  I have some autopicks from him but I think he's around.

I'll be back in 20 min to fill out what I have...

[Jay Flemma]

I don't think he meant THAT first place!!!!!!!

and yes, I picked william flynn...atlantic city CC, cherry hills, and rolling green

[Ronald Montesano]

What does that even mean, Sims, and why would you ever want to be identified by a tampon or a tampax or whatever that high-pressure wad is?

I PM'ed Jaeger...says he's online...must be asleep...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the live draft.

Jay took Flynn courses

Cmon, we're almost thru 4 rounds in just 2 days....thats not too bad considering the number of peeps involved and various schedules.   

P.S.  Depsite the commish's ruling on Shinny, I'm still calling bogus.  I guess its good Cypress went in the 1st pick or whoever went with Raynor would have picked it I suppose..

Other than Pacific Grove JC, my picks are all top 100 courses....looks okay to me.  Wait till you see my next one...

Ron,

A figure of speech Mr. Literal.  This from a guy that had Old Town in his #7 pick overall.....shameful

The commish made his ruling on Shinny to protect his own rear on his Pine Valley and Sunningdale being Colt courses.

Fair enough, he is the commish and has set the rules...so its all good!!!

I had just hoped there would be better discretion/sense of fairplay by those making such picks just to stack thier courses!!

You took Wolf Creek from The Dude instead of Hacienda Pinilla.  Worse than Spyglass...by far
