| 2006 Mitch Hawker Wood Coaster Poll Draft Challenge Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the 1st Annual, Mitch Hawker Wood Coaster Poll Draft Challenge. This is a little game I've been trying to get together and hopefully it will work out. What is it?- The Draft Challenge is based upon the wood coaster poll created by Mitch Hawker. (http://www.ushsho.com/bestrollercoasterpoll.htm) I'm going to select a certain number of contestants and they will have to use their coaster knowledge and analytical skills to determine which coasters will be atop the poll for 2006. How it works- Over the next month, contestants will select coasters they think will be ranked highest in the 2006 poll with the selection process being based on a draft system. For example: Contestant 1 has the 1st draft pick and chooses- Thunderhead Contestant 2 has the 2nd draft pick and chooses- Avalanche Contestant 3 has...etc..etc.. Until everyone has used their draft picks. Right now I'm looking 5 people including myself, with 6 draft choices each. But I might change this based upon the number of you who want to participate. Also as to not give any advantage, round 2 of the draft starts with the last person of the first draft. So with 5 people with 6 draft choices, it would look like... Contestant 1- 1st Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 3 Contestant 2- 2nd Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 4 Contestant 3- 3rd Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 1 Contestant 4- 4th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 7 Contestant 5- 5th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 12 Contestant 5- 6th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 6 Contestant 4- 7th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 26 Contestant 3- 8th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 9 Contestant 2- 9th Draft Pick (after results announced- coaster ranks 17 Contestant 1- 10th Draft Pick (after results announced coaster ranks 13 Contestant 1- 11th Draft Pick Contestant 2- 12th Draft Pick etc...etc... How to Win!- Once the draft is completed, we will wait until the results from the 2006 poll are in. Then the number ranks given to the coasters, selected by each person, will be added up.(My Fav Steel is not an available choice in the draft.) That total will then be divided by the number of picks allowed, and the person with the lowest score, wins the Draft Challenge. So if you look above, the results of challenge,(if only 2 rounds were used), would be... Contestant 1- 3+13= 16/2= a score of 8 Contestant 2- 4+17= 21/2= a score of 10.5 Contestant 3- 1+9= 10/2= a score of 5 Contestant 4- 7+26= 33/2= a score of 16.5 Contestant 5- 12+6= 18/2= a score of 9 With the lowest score, Contestant 3 is the winner. Deadline- This Draft needs to be completed by the time of the deadline to turn in the ballots for the 2006 Wood Coaster Poll. Individual selection deadline will be based on the number of contestants used. In the event a person misses their individual deadline, they will forfeit their pick, and may make it up at the end of the draft. But the deadline individually will be like 4 days, so I don't think their will be any problems. Disclaimer- It is not advised to contestants participating in the Draft Challenge to manipulate their ballot as to rank their coaster's selected higher in their ballots. This is one of the most purest coaster polls, please vote the way you normally would. Copyright- Mitch Hawker Wood Coaster Poll Draft Challenge is unofficial. It is copyright 2006 of CeDaRPoInTzTeR & Associates, a Limited Liability Partnership. Any reproduction of the poll may result in punishment on the Federal Coaster Law. As of today, I'm looking for contestants who feel they will be available over the next month to actively participate in the draft. Please do not sign up if you have a week vacation planned or any other sort of time table which would prevent you from going 4 days in November without being able to log onto ThrillNetwork. I'm looking at starting the Draft, November 3rd or 4th, using the next couple of days to get contestants, answer any questions or address any flaws, and to get a random draft order going. As of right now, just post if you're interested in playing, and as always feedback is appreciated.

Just out of curiosity, how are you selecting the order? Out of a hat? Just curious. Thanks.

Yep, I'm just picking from a hat, as I can't see of any other random way to select the order. Though, because of the draft system, there should be no advantage from the draft order. And the hat pick results are... 1. CoasterDude28 2. G_Adv_123 3. James 4. Me 5. Mrceagle 6. Joesph Now when you select your draft pick please type it in the form where you list your name and which draft pick we are on. The next person then copy and paste that as to remind us who's turn it is, and what coasters have been selected. So by the time I make my post, it should look like... CoasterDude28 1st Draft Pick- Son of Beast G_Adv_123 2nd Draft Pick-Hercules James 3rd Draft Pick- Predator CeDaRPoInTzTeR-... Once again, My Fav Steel Coaster is not a selection. Also when round 2 comes, Joesph you will select two coasters as you have the last pick of round 1, and the first pick in round 2. Right now I'm looking at 8 rounds, and I'll add more if we got time. And a reminder what the draft order is... Round 1 1st CoasterDude28 2nd G_Adv_123 3rd James 4th CedarPointzter 5th Mrceagle 6th Joesph Round 2 7th Joesph 8th Mrceagle 9th CedarPointzter 10th James 11th G_Adv_123 12th CoasterDude28 Round 3 13th CoasterDude28 14th G_Adv_123 etc..etc.. CoasterDude28 you have 3 days or sooner to select your first pick.
