We are going to hard reset Cardinals1. Here are the conditions

1. The draft order will be preserved from the initial assignment, except as noted in 2 below
2. All trades made earlier today will be reversed, except for the mega draft pick trade between Omaha and Hazard. That one doesn't involve players.
3. There will be no auto assignment of players. Even after the correction, there were going to be some good players randomly assigned, and people didn't seem to like it.
4. We will draft 53 rounds. We'll try 45 minutes per pick. If that is working well we can consider going to 30, but I'd rather go conservative at first till we see how it works. If the draft gets bogged down in later rounds we'll address it then.
5. All players will be included in the original draft. There will be no free agency. This will also save us some time in the schedule.
6. I've turned off trades until I can get the database fixed, hopefully tomorrow.
7. Your draft boards will be preserved. Some players are going to be added to the list of draftable players, so you may want to check it again later.
8. The draft will start as originally scheduled.


It was clear that people posting in the message threads wanted to control the players on their roster. The time trade off between more rounds of the draft and a longer free agency is pretty much a wash and the 53 round draft was easier for me to handle the programming (I think).

Thanks fore everyone's input.
