    What's the deal with Tskalidids' arm in that picture. That looks painful man.

    Also, what kind of rules/scoring do we want to place on this? I say, for the hell of it, we make getting the Rockets pick exactly right worth more than the other picks...

    There's got to be more we can do to make this even better... we've got some cool stuff planned once it's going live but want to make it worth logging in every day to make any changes....

    How to make it better? Do the whole first round. Also, the way I see it, picking the last pick of the first round is a lot harder than picking the Nets' pick. Figure that into the scoring. I like the Rockets idea also. Also, here's mine:

    DaFranchise --

    We've thought about the whole round, and can do it but I think it's going to alienate more people from using it (longer to edit also) than it will make it appealing. We've talked about this one -- would like to hear others' comments though ...

    I think we should do the first round, or at least the top 20. Just only have people write player descriptions for the top 13- turn off that feature for the last part of the round. All they'd have to do is really quickly select a player from a list. And if someone doesn't want to do it, then simply they don't have to. But I think it would make it more fun for the people that want to do it, like myself.

    Doing an entire first round would be more difficult as many fans don't know enough about a lot of the late first rounders. However, I also don't know enough about these late first rounders but I still want to do it because the way you set it up was so easy. You give us choices and we simply pick one. Since the comments are optional anyway, it doesn't matter whether they are included on the later picks.

    Clutch -- two things:

    1) Will we be able to see what other people picked?

    2) Can you score it so we have a winner?
    I think I played one last year (ESPN, Sporting News, etc.) that had a scoring system that went like this:
    first pick = 13 points
    second pick = 12 points
    third pick = 11 points
    etc., until you get to the 13th pick which is worth 1 point.

    But the scoring isn't all or nothing: if you are off by one spot on the first pick, then you get 12 points; off by two picks, then you get 11 points, etc.
    Obviously, if you miss the 13th pick by two spots, you don't get any points.

    Just an idea.

    Writhe- I think the system should be right the opposite. It isn't that hard to pick the top pick. What is challenging is to pick some of the later picks, and reward those who get them right because it is much more difficult to predict those.
