Dylan Waco Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 If I draft a team does it have to be a team that is active as a team at the moment where the timeline is starting? I'm hesitant to say more than that and may end up making a controversial pick that will have to go to a vote, but I want to see what the general ruling on this is. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I'm now wondering if you've had exactly the same idea as I've had. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Posted June 13, 2015 I think I can guess what your idea is and it is likely similar to mine but not necessarily exactly the same. All I can say here is that I need an answer to this question ASAP because it WILL determine my next draft pick Quote
Grimmas Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Former teams I have no issue with, future teams is fishy. What do others think? Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Agreed as long as next pick is forfeit. Quote
dawho5 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I'd say stick with already existing teams, whether it be from reality or teams we have put together in future drafts. Quote
KrisZ Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Future teams shouldn't matter because it had never happened at our date Quote
Beast Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Past teams I'm OK with. Future teams, no. Curious to see the idea regardless. Quote
Flyin' Brian Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I don't have a problem with drafting future teams separately and pairing them up, but you shouldn't be able to draft them together if they weren't a team yet July 1st 1983 Quote
goc Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I don't have a problem with drafting future teams separately and pairing them up, but you shouldn't be able to draft them together if they weren't a team yet July 1st 1983 This is how I feel. Don't even think you should be able to draft past teams if they weren't together as of July 1st and had not been for some time. Otherwise that would have changed my draft strategy for my planned team of Dr. D & Dennis Condrey (who teamed for a bit in Memphis in 1980) Quote

I don't plan on drafting former teams at all. Quote
dawho5 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I don't se it being a huge problem, but it seems at odds with how we're trying to do this. Either way works fine though. Quote
Beast Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I think it has to be reasonable in the sense that the two had a fairly long tenure as a past team. Otherwise you risk letting people pair wrestlers up that may have teamed for a few months, and may have been drafted earlier as a team if everyone knew that was allowed. Quote

I don't plan on drafting former teams at all. Depends on what it is. If someone wants to draft The Blackjacks together that would be ok with me even though they weren't teaming at the time. It would need to be something on that level, a team that was clearly established as a team, had a long run together and did eventually reunite to team up for a bit. It couldn't have happened due to saves but if someone had decided in the 1st round that they wanted to draft The Texas Outlaws: Dusty Rhodes & Dick Murdoch then that wouldn't have been ok. Quote

That seems perfect. No drafting a team that was short lived from 81 or something silly. Quote
KrisZ Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Drafting past and future teams as teams yes isn't allowed but if you use separate picks on them then that's cool....say if I had taken Murdoch in the 1st round and Adonis in the 4th round then teamed them up it should be fine. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Kris what an out Dusty / Murdoch example Quote
goc Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Kris what an out Dusty / Murdoch example Big no. Someone trying to set up taking 2 big names that were a team years ago. If they weren't a regular team in the past year then it should be a no. Regular, not on again off again. Otherwise why not try and save Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee as a tag team? Quote
KrisZ Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 You couldn't save them because Dundee was in GCW No one has taken big name former teams yet together so this isn't a problem Quote
goc Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Dylan if you are really that worried about keeping it secret if you can't do it, just ask KrisZ in a PM. I think everyone would be happy deferring to his judgment on the issue. You couldn't save them because Dundee was in GCWNo one has taken big name former teams yet together so this isn't a problem It's come up because it's being thought about trying it. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Posted June 13, 2015 This situation is kind of a unique one I think. I messaged Kris. If the answer is no it's not a big deal. Quote
KrisZ Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 If you were trying to take say Adonis and Murdoch at the same time when they weren't teaming then plus in separate promotions then yes it is a problem but if you took them separately rounds apart it shouldn't matter because people had their chance to take the 2nd guy Quote
goc Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 These questions are clearly about drafting together, not about use in booking. Quote
goc Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 At this point I wish we could just get a final ruling of "if they aren't listed as a tag team on the rosters they aren't draftable as a team" so we could just make this picks process go faster. Quote
