Coaster Draft 2008

[Jimmy B]

The 2008 Coaster Draft is now underway!

Here are the rules:

Players will have 24 hours to make their pick; once the player as made the pick or 24 hours has passed, the next player may then start making their pick, although the member before will still have the chance to draft if the next person has not picked yet. If the member after you has already picked, then you cannot make your pick. Again, there will be NO emergency make-up picks, so if you miss your chance to pick, you will forfeit that pick. If an alternate does replace an active player who has missed their picks, then the alternate is allowed to make the pick up.


All coasters selected must be in the US.

All coasters must be open or scheduled to be open this year.

Coasters that are no longer standing or not running this year are not eligible.

A coaster can only be picked once; once it is selected, no one else may select it again.

I will also ask that nobody makes suggestions for coasters people should pick. It's not fair to other members and such posts will be deleted.

When making a pick, a post should contain the full name of the coaster. Abbreviations for parks will be allowed as long as they are exact.

About making trades: For trades to be official, both sides need to officially agree to the trade by posting here saying that you either announce or confirm the trade in question.

This thread is only for making draft picks, announcing/confirming trades, and important announcements made by Andrew, coasterlove, or myself. All questions/comments and trade propositions should be directed here.

All the best of luck to everyone in the draft.
