Any weekday after 7 PM EST, or 6 PM EST if I find out before the Thursday the week prior so I don't book OT.
Weekends are open. (Holy shit, I never thought I'd get to say that). Just again, notice and all that, so I don't book OT.

So what you're saying is one time, a team with an inferior record, by one win, got into the playoffs over a team with a superior record, by one win, and a handful of other times, teams got "screwed" because of, generally speaking, somewhere in the range of 10-60 points, with one outlier of roughly 118 points, and the whole system is broke.

No, what I'm saying is 33% of the time divisions got it clearly wrong and the other 66% of the time the results were sub-optimal as well. Conversely, 100% of the time no divisions produced the optimal playoffs. No, it's not an earth-shattering improvement unless you're the guy getting squeezed out, but it is an improvement and one that can be made with basically no effort.

I'm basically the guy trying to get rid of pennies. Look, there are cost-savings, they aren't huge but they exist, it's efficient, you don't even have to do anything, you just have to stop doing something. And yet some of you guys are like, "but I like worthless bits of zinc in my pocket".

I've been trying to talk Pokerface into it but he doesn't want to have to do math. But I agree that the point and click of a snake draft is prob alot easier than auction.
Auction is kinda closer to "fair" then fair imo. I don't know how it goes in other auction league but in ours, whoever gets the first pile of guys has to pay such exorbitant prices because everyone is just ceaselessly upbidding to "screw" the other guy the end result is a few teams staked with upper mid level talent and a bunch of teams with a 2-3 elite players and a pile of scrubs. It's not a particularly enjoyable thing to be stuck on 14 dollars, needing a more than 3 or so spots to fill and literally not be able to do so without staying until the very very end of the draft when you're staring at 3 other guys with 14 dollars in their pocket that also are trapped in the draft.

I mean, no offense, but you really just have poor auction strategy if this is what you think an auction boils down to. Yeah, I'll bid a guy up if I think I can get someone to overpay for a guy, but I also go in with set targets and hard caps on players. If a guy I target goes too high, I'll just back off and find a similar player to fill that spot, and potentially get him cheaper and then I have more cash to throw around on other guys who I maybe really want.

What's the deal with trading picks?

The increase is minor overall but I'm gaining more value having Sims than having Maclin fight for a starting spot against my other WRs

Honest question: How long do you think Sims actually has a starting job?

That gives a lot of context to where your valuation of this trade comes in.
