Coaster Draft 2008: Still looking for more Alternates to sign up

Ladies and Gentlemen it is that time of year again. It is time to get the 2008 Coaster Draft underway. There are a few rules though. You must be a member in good standing with Thrillnetwork, meaning you cannot be a banned member. If you were eliminated from the draft last year, you are not eligible to play this year. Right now we are accepting sign-ups from those that participated in the draft last year. If we still have openings afterwards, then newcomers to the draft can sign up after 4pm January 14th. There are 20 available slots and in the past they have filled up quickly.

Coasterlove, Jimmy B and myself are serving as co-coordinators for the draft. Any questions you have, please contact one of us and put Coaster Draft in the subject line. Coasterlove can be reached at coasterlove@tmail.com, you can reach Jimmy and I by PM.

We look forward to seeing you compete.

And I am IN for this year's draft!

I can say we will surely have at least two new players this year....maybe even more.

Those who willingly gave their positions like Martin and WildeFyre due to conflicts is understandable and appreciable, and those people may sign up next week as new members if they decide to re-join.

After all three of my previous years stuck in second place, hopefully this year I can finally break through and take home the gold.

^ Thanks for stepping aside and allowing one more free spot for a new player.

You will be listed first as an alternate.

And this goes for anyone else (returning or new) that's not 100% sure about playing this year. We can put you in the alternates list, if you'd like, as a courtesy for those new players that want to play for sure.

This year, I will not be participating as an active member but will be helping on a limited basis to moderate the Coaster Draft. At times, I might be around to offer assistance and other times I might not be around for days at a time. So for immediate assistance, it would be best to contact Jimmy or Andrew or other members that help to moderate the Coaster Draft.

And while I will not join as a member, maybe I will throw my name in as an alternate if there is a spot open. I might just catch the bug after seeing the Draft started.

That's correct. We need to give returning players the opportunity to sew up ther spots. After the 14th, anyone that is a registered member of TN may join. Even if you are not chosen as that starting 20, keep in miond what some past draft members and Jimmy have siad, you'll be pooled in as an alternate and most likely will see some time.

I have been in the draft every year, but this year I am going to step down. I will not be participating. So you can fill my spot...

Actually, last year coasterlove made sign-ups open for new and returning players the same time, but made precedence was made for returning players until we had 20 players.

This year, to make things less confusing, I'm opening sign-ups for returning players a week ahead, but am only giving a week to lock their place up....starting the 14th, everyone who signs up after that will be listed on the roster until we have 20 players, and those who sign up -- new or returning -- after we reach 20 will be in the alternates place.

Which means we will have a new winner this year.

Every potential player should remember this- READ THE RULES!

Especially the one about makeup picks, and the lack thereof.

Despite my posting that, I can guarantee someone will intiate Whinefest '08 about it at some point in the draft. Side note: Whining only makes us more adamant about our position.

I thought coasterman1234 started that.

So is it anytime the 14th new people can sign up?

Can I get an AARP card? I might throw in my resistance to use the new CF names in the draft if I decide on those rides.

I'm IN and picking a new theme. Double thrill park had a successful season, but this years park will hopefully have a little more press.

Jimmy,I'm also up for helping to keep the list updated. I think the way we did it last year was the best and least confusing way.

I'm on more during the day, and you guys are at night so it worked out nice I think.

Keep em coming guys...new members may sign up anytime. Returning members may sign up anytime.

The draft order will be determined by who you pick to win the Super Bowl along with the score. Jimmy will explain more about this when he gets back.
