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.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

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.

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

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?

Hey - so not to overdo this, but Edju can we go back to this discussion? I'm deciding (and I'm sure others are as well) how much to invest in this new system. Do we know what this mechanism Mike mentioned above is? Or any other information on it?

Let me get a good answer instead of half-assing it.

Why should the scouting system get special treatment?

Thoughts or questions?


yep - I thought in this thread I saw the "no free looks" statement. I just reread the announcement and the term "baseline' was used.

Whats the difference?

The players will be ranked in order 1-48.

Most, but not all, of the players will be rated correctly (i.e. there will be some players ranked highly who turn out to suck, like Darko Mlicic, and there will be players ranked lower that do not suck, like, say, Glen Davis).

Your scouting will reveal if these players are rated correctly or not, and no one will get any free looks at those.
