Hello everybody, I need help in picking a name for my college solitare league,...........I want the name to also give the idea that the new coach can draft players off the teams,,,,I will play a full season with games on youtube (4 plays from the 50), each college team will have it's own page within the leagues website so coaches can go and check up on players progress, each player will have a small right up on performance, so if a coach needs to draft a OL or DL men, RB, TE, WR's or DB's, just click on a teams page and then click on the players charts and make your pick, this is a work in progress and will take alot of time to finish, (the pages) but it should be alot of fun, I get to play games using all the rule sets mixed in together and you get to follow the league and draft players if you like.

P.S. I will give the coach whos name I pick a ton of untweaked bases,.....PLUS some original frosty plastic PROLINES,....yup .........you heard right, original frosty plastic AND COLOR in proline form. TTC's and Rookies,.....PLUS $40 cash.

P.S. At the end of the season, I will have a basedraft which will be free for all MFCA members, it will be 2 rounds, with 10 picks in each round.

Coaches,.......... I can't get any work finished,..............I keep coming here to check the votes, (smile).

P.S. This is fun, thank guys for helping me pick a name.

Norbert

Too many choices. No wonder you're having a hard time picking a name. Get your list down to 3-5.

I did not come up with any of these names myself, 1 week ago I asked for names to my league because I couldn't think of anything catchy, so I asked the coaches for help, the names in the poll are from them, now the names have been placed in a poll for everyone to vote on.

Norbert Revels

I voted but I here is what I think...

hehehe...

The NBA league has the NBA draft. NFL league has the NFL Draft. The MLB league has the MLB draft. Since this is a solitaire league and the entire nation gets to draft the player. Here is what I suggest...

First suggestion...

League name should be - NSEFL - National Solitaire Electric Football League (because the nation gets to draft the players)

2nd suggestion...(sorry norbert, I'm getting excited) - Create a war room like on NFL draft day and rank the coaches around the country by league. For example, lets say there are 10 leagues around the country. The BAM, DFW, NEFL, BEFL, MPFL, the Great Lakes, LAEFL, etc...Rank the coaches from top to bottom in each league. So you will have 10 different sets of rankings. Have the commissioners from each league rank them for you then send you the list. Then put them in draft order on your draft board. This will look like the NFL draft except it will have the names of the coaches instead of the names of the NFL teams. Ok, now you take the bottom coaches in each league and throw them in a lottery and pull the name (This should be 10 coaches because its 10 leagues). The first name you pick gets the number 1 draft pick, the second name you pick gets the #2 draft pick in the first round. This will continue for the first 10 picks of the first round. Picks 11-20 go to the coaches who finished with the 2nd worst record in their league. You will take those names and throw them in a hat a do the same thing.

3rd suggestion...You rank all the players in your league as if you are Mel Kiper of ESPN. You rank them all by position then you rank them all by best player in the league overall. You then post the draft board on the MFCA website. This will help the coaches around the country to look at the draft board and fill the voids on their rosters by team need.

Finally you hold a live draft. Lets say for instance it is August 9th, 2009 at 12:00pm CST. This way coaches can get on the phone and make calls to you. (Just like in an NFL war room). Coaches can also get on the phone with each other and make trades for draft picks. All trades have to go through you though you. Post the results!

You will have a live "National Solitaire EFL" Draft!

Hope you like the idea. I'm sure it can be tweaked a bit but it sounds really fun.

Need web space let me know.

Mike you are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like a fox
he he he he he

Outstanding Mike

Your 3rd suggestion is the way I will be setting things up, .................if I can come up with a quicker way to determine the 2nd and 3rd tier coaches in each league I may look into using your other suggestion, ..............I do want the lower tier coaches to get the 1st picks in the 1st round, can you imagine BAXTER getting the 1st overall pick in the draft (smile), thats the only drawback I see in using the 3rd suggestion.

P.S. There is another coach who has been sending me emails since the start of this, he has explained to me the best way to determine players class, he also asked can freshmen be drafted,..........this season I will let any players be drafted,..I want to get the ball rollin, but next season all players will be listed what class there in, and only juniors and seniors will be able to get drafted.

Norbert Revels

I will speak with you about some of the ideas you have, it's 2am now and my brain is half sleep (smile), Maxwell is not working,.......... I just uploaded a small trailer of my teams for the league. 12 total @ 22 players per.

Norbert Revels

Since this is for the MFCA members only and the 2nd suggestions is too much. Try this...

Take all 218 MFCA members and put there name in the lottery. Have a lottery...the first name drawn will get the #1 pick in the first round, the second name drawn will get the #2 pick in the first round. Do this for 7 rounds. You can have 40 players go per round.

(((((Mike, at this time theres only 12 teams of 22, 264 players total, so letting 40 players go in the draft is abit much, most of my time would be in tweaking for the league, (remember players will also be able to get drafted through out the season) also I play in 2 leagues and travel to atleast 3 tournaments a year plus tweak for some coaches, I think it's best to keep it at 10 the 1st round and 10 the 2nd round for now offcourse, as the seasons and teams build up, I will let more players be drafted,....it will be 2 seasons a year.)))))

To determine classes...you can do this by the year you tweaked the base. If you tweaked the base 2 years ago, then that base would be going into its 3rd year so that base would be considered a junior. If you have a base that was tweaked 2 years ago but you never used it on a team then it could be a red shirt sophmore.

((((Theres a coach that want let me mention his name, Reg and all of the vendors know him well though (smile), this cat is strickly a behind the scenes type, in a email I sent him asking could I mention his name, his reply,......When I'am gone you can, anyway he has explained to me a perfect way to determine class, I will call you and explain later.))))

Norb...this is "SICK"!!! I'm hooked! I love it dude.

I would love to help on this in some sort of capacity. I've never seen anything like this. This is a trip!!!

((((OH,......you and him will be helping))))(smile)

I'm creating my "War" room already for draft day.

Also...Put quantative values on all your draft picks. For example on your draft board you can put beside the player in () weather you think he is a 1st rounder or 2nd rounder or 3rd rounder. Remember you will only have 40 first rounders or however many you decide. Then you will say 1st rounders are $15, 2nd rounders are $10, 3rd rounders are $5, etc. This way it'll be as the NFL is where 1st rounders get paid more coming out of the draft. Even further, if a base that you project doesn't go in the first round but gets drafted in the third round then his draft stock went down and you have to sell him for 3rd round dollars and vice versa.

((((1st rounders lets keep at $10 and 2nd rounders at $5))))

I love this stuff Norb! You're a freakin genius dude! A real EFL Draft! This hobby has gone nutz

((((This is only the start up, as time goes on things will be fine tuned)))).

Thanks coaches for helping me in picking a name for the League

I don't remember, but who sent in the name The Pro Prospects league.

Norbert

Heres a pic of the bases going out to the winner

$40 in cash will be tucked away in there also, I would like to thank everyone who voted and sent in names for the league.

Norbert Revels

All 12 teams are done, based up and ready, I will begin work on the website now filling in all rosters and teams, small right-ups will be given to each player as time goes on.

Right now I am working on different rule sets and mixing them together,........... to take myself out of the games outcome, I will be using sticks for passes and a dice box for play calling.

I wanted to update you cats on the progress of The Pro Prospects League, everything is coming together in record time.

Norbert Revels

:D :D Why do those bases have an "N" on them?:D :D

Thanks for keeping us updated on the Pro Prospects League. That is an awesome way to test bases in gametime situations and also have a great time doing it. Players look great and I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.

Tom

Thats it, I wanted a fun and exciting way to test bases before sending them to coaches training camps, I think this is the best way, I get to play some games and have fun at the same time, games will be 30 minutes and a mixture of a few rules sets.

The Pro Prospect league has started scrimmages allready.

Arizona, Michigan, Clemson, Hurricanes, Nebraska, Illinois, LSU, and Ohio State all ran 4 offensive and defensive plays against Nigel's Oklahoma Sooners, this was great, I spotted some for sure 1st rounders today, USC, Auburn, Gators, and my Sooners will get a chance to scrimmage the powerful sooners also in roughly 2 weeks, heres a link of some of the action.

P.S. I am sorry, some footage is not to good to me, I will be buying a camcoder soon.
