Yeah, I read that. It was the "in order" part I wanted you to clarify (I think Hambone VT is asking for the same clarity). What sort of order?


They'll be in order of quality from best to worst, but the rankings will be imperfect - not scouting at all and relying solely on the baseline rankings will leave you somewhat blind.


Ah. And I'm assuming that each team will have the same player(s) ranked a bit differently by the scouts, to prevent collusion?


Each team will have its own baseline rankings, but the amount of uncertainty in each set of rankings will be the same.


Um. Is that a yes?


It's like those Japanese martial arts movies where they talk for like 20 seconds and the subtitle is one word.

In other words, that is a yes.

Am I that much of a dick?


Umm . . . yes? :-)


But an important question about the new scouting system. Doesn't this encourage collusion among teams? For example, I find 3 friends; each of us scout different players, and only one of us pays the 10 points to scout at the combine. Between the four of us we have scouted every player, and maybe even scouted multiple players twice. So we know info about every player. This seems problematic to me . . .

On that note I have a great idea. Why don't all of us excluding Edju collude and make sure he gets jack for a draftee!

On the same note why don't we all agree to CT Edju and see if collectively we can manage to relegate him to DIII where he belongs.

I think there's still a mechanism in place to prevent that.

What's the mechanism? You go running to Charles: "My leagues picking on me... no one likes me down here...Waaaaaa"

You guys are still soft compared to the NBBA in terms of ball busting.

Guess I'll toss one out there.

The initial rankings are more than likely inaccurate. Should I assume that if a player has been scouted twice, that I'm looking at accurate information on a players skills, or can a twice scouted player still be inaccurately rated by my scouting staff?

At that point the rating will be accurate.

What is it?

It seems like the heights and ages will be enough information to uniquely identify many of the players, and make collusion easy among teams that buy into the combine. A course reading of the baseline ratings should help distinguish most of the others with some degree of probability.

Also, is position information given for any level of scouting?
