Warrior General Games

The way we did it in an Oceania league I'm in was pretty informal.

Someone volunteered to organize it. Each owner PMed the organizer a list of players he felt would be in contention for the Pro Bowl, along with optionally a short (1-3 sentences) explanation if necessary for each player (helpful for offensive line and for explaining why player A deserves a Pro Bowl spot even though he isn't the stat leader - basically for stating intangibles). It worked on the "common sense system" for owners as far as how many players to submit - no hard limit, but only submit those players you honestly felt deserved a Pro Bowl spot.

The organizer then set up a poll on one of the many free poll websites out there, and the results of the poll determined the Pro Bowl team for that year.

There may have been some restrictions on who could vote (only owners? don't think so), and who you could vote for (it may have been that you couldn't vote for a player from your team).

the "not being able to vote for your own team" rule makes sense in real life, but i dont think it would work too well for this situation. Only because there isnt too much scouting for specific players, at least not that i know of. I mean, maybe at a few positions but im sure a majority of the owners around the league woudnt know a difference between the top 5 strong safeties. i think at a certain point everyone would have to make a case for why their pick is the best and an owner could only do that if they were extremely familiar with a players stats and strengths.

well i can compile the votes if each representative of a team pms me with their thoughts.

we can make the representative as the owner unless otherwise stated?

what you think?

There was one Canada league that got a neutral, trustworthy person to compile the Pro Bowl players' stats and put them into Madden, then they ran a sim of the Pro Bowl game.

...then again, that's really unnecessary, since we know Alpha would win.

If we all do it after today's game, it'll be fair. I was about to put forward my candidates, but no point, because others will get 1 games worth of stats to add.

well dorset are out of playoffs and im pretty sure teams from playoffs will provide the meat for this sandwich so im pretty much sure to not be biased

LOL

Do we vote for our own conference? Or both? How many players at each position?

Perhaps it would be best to vote for the opposite conference of the one you play in.

well best thing to do is to vote on your own conference only as you know the opposition there

you cannot vote for your own players

and you also only need to choose 1 player per position

so formulate the requirements as below

FS
SS
CB
CB
LB
LB
LB
DE
NT
DT
DE

WR
WR
TE
FB
HB
LT
RT
LG
RG
C
QB

PR/KR [1 entry for these only please ]

start hitting me up on this please so i can compile it

you have from today [end of game 16] until conference finals so we can announce the team the day of the league playoff between alpha and Zeta

I think it would be better for us to put our own players forward, and let someone independent make the decision.

Say for e.g. Zeta all PM stack with our suggestions.... and Alpha PM one of the Zeta owners.

you are more than welcome to do that

its not a case of a decision for the pro bowl team - its all on votes. so votes get the person in - not a decision

any ties will be posted for a decision

if we are going down the route of alpha pm someone then zeta pm me then cool

lets just get it started

LOL

I think we should be allowed to vote for our own guys.... Maybe even on the forums so you know one guy didnt vote only for his players.

Okay, so which Zeta owner wants to make the decisions for the Alpha roster?

see first post, updated edit!!!
