    I'd like to get back in. I actually got an invite a few years ago and then won the Entry, Pro and Experts league, B2B2B. I didn't get an invite the next year, but understand these leagues were kind of in a state of flux and I was no longer as active on these boards due to too many other commitments. By the time I clued in, it was too late. Good to see this continuing though.

    For anyone lucky enough to get selected for these leagues, it is a blast to say the least. The format is great and most GMs I played against were doing their utmost to win their respective leagues.

    I'm very tempted, although a dynasty I'm in is starting to come off the hinges before the puck drops because it's free. I don't doubt the competition and commitment in this would likely be more reliable. But I'm learning a personal lesson.

    I need to pay to play. Any chance there is a pay version of these? $25/$50? Or do I have to win this to pay next year - cuz that I'd also be into.

    This is a free competition, and for the foreseeable future it will remain that way. It's competitive, but it's intended to be open to all and a lot of people don't want to pay to play.

    There isn't a similar pay version of this competition that I'm aware of, but can be considered if someone wants to get one going.

    As updated in the original post, there is now a feature article explaining all of the details for this competition:

    http://www.dobberhockey.com/hockey-h...r-anniversary/

    Please have a read and stay tuned for when recruitment begins, which will be in a new forum thread.

    This thread is for information only. If you require any clarification on rules etc., just let me know.

    Thanks.

    any chance one of the leagues could have an offline draft, or a draft where we pre-rank our players, for those of us who would have a hard time getting to an online draft?

    I'm afraid there won't be any offline drafts. These leagues all need to be coordinated in the same way, in the same format to ensure a level playing field. Also, we won't know when a specific league will be finalised, especially as we wouldn't know how many people would want to do an offline draft. However, for those who will still want to participate but cannot attend one of the drafts there is the auto draft option (but others are live drafting). I know that's not ideal for many, though. I will be setting the draft order for all leagues in advance (depending on how soon the leagues fill up) if that is of any help.

    yes, this definitely helps. i wasn't expecing there to be any offline drafts, but it was worth asking (although if others want an offline draft, might be worth posting it here so we get an idea whether there'd be interest). but at least if i know where i'm drafting, i could try and get some strategy into my pre-draft rankings.
    thanks!

    No worries, it's worth asking. To confirm though, there will not be any offline drafts so to anyone who asks I'll mention the same thing. The format is set so I won't change it for the reasons explained above, I'm afraid. All leagues are in the same format, because it's one competition and everyone should be on the same level playing field.

    As for the early draft order, yeah it's definitely helpful as I've had to autodraft a few times.
