ATD 2022 Draft Thread III (Final results in post 724)

[TheDevilMadeMe]

To clarify on this, Sturm and I never discussed "voting as one", so the reason you didn't get split votes in earlier rounds is because I forgot to vote in time

I thought the standard practice was to take co-GM votes as 0.5 pts, but I really don't know actually.

Thanks for doing this Theo.

I always counted co-GMs votes as full votes in the playoffs when I counted votes, though some co-GMs voluntarily only had 1 rep.

I wasn't sure so I counted them as half, but it wouldn't have made any difference for the outcome of either series if I counted them as full votes either.

The Finals thread has convinced me that I'll never win an ATD. Not interested in arguing like that. Lol

All of that arguing is not necessarily to either team's benefit.

I don't mind a little back and forth (or a lot of back and forth for that matter), but ultimately I think all a GM needs to do is make a case for their team. Some go further and that's fine, but it's not required.

@Sturminator want to set a reasonable deadline on this?

Votes in for Monday?

Are you serious? This is the ATD Finals and the series thread was posted on Tuesday. We are Thursday evening. I didn't have time to post my own comments yet, nevermind engage in back and forth. Why the hurry? This is not a race.

Reasonable deadline would be to open voting Monday the 6th June.

my cat submitted votes for me because i've been busy, hope that's ok. i think she did a good job, she watches the puck a lot.

You hadn't been very active in other series, so I just assumed life got in the way of the ATD.


Whatever you guys want, just didn't want this to go on indefinitely.

This week-end and next week is a good timeframe.

I'm trying to be civil, that's why I edited it.

You forbade civility by quoting my edited comment, Mr. Ethics.

Yes, it's easily the worst part of the ATD.

A couple of try-hards going overboard to outduel each other in trying to make everyone think they're the smartest person in the room.

Comical in a sense, but the grand majority of us will just be voting by looking at the rosters and not bothering to sift through all the crap in that thread.

Actually, the worst part of the ATD is easily the excessive whining from certain quarters.

 

[VanIslander]

Smart.

 

[Sturminator]

Unless anyone objects, I think we're probably ready to go ahead and vote on this thing. A deadline of next Monday night at midnight EST should be enough time for everybody to get their ballots in.

I'll send out reminder PMs once we get confirmation from @ResilientBeast and/or @rmartin65 that we're good to go.

They did.

 

[Theokritos]

12 ballots so far. With the exception of @ImporterExporter, all the semifinal voters (minus the GMs who are in the finals now and can't vote) have already submitted.

 

[Sturminator]

That's fine, and the deadline is what it is. Let's wrap this one at midnight EST.

 

[ImporterExporter]

I have voted.

Special thanks to Theo for once again taking time to handle the draft order and post draft votes as well as the HoH members who cast their votes!

 

[Theokritos]

13 ballots received.

Vancouver defeat Montreal 4-3
1star: Bobby Orr. 2nd star: Bobby Hull. 3rd stars: Cyclone Taylor and Sergei Makarov (tied).

Voters: @Batis, @Claude The Fraud, @DannyGallivan, @Dennis Bonvie, @Hawkey Town 18, @ImporterExporter, @nabby12, @Professor What, @The Macho King, @TheDevilMadeMe, @tinyzombies, @tony d, @Voight

If you want me to post the (anonymized) voting records for the sake of transparency I will gladly do that, but I'm heading into a vacation, so I won't get to do it before July in all likeliness.

Congratulation to RB and rmartin65 on winning ATD2022.
