Jake and I have decided to start up our own U.S. Draft. The draft will consist of 12 rounds, and will have 12 spots open for contestants. The opening order will be determined by random.
1.) Brandon
2.) Jake
3.) rollercoasterfreak91
4.) Luxornv
5.) thedeadfrog
6.) Michael
7.) Steelinwood
8.) Xtreme Descent
9.) alpengeistfan1
10.) Exceller
11.) Haunt-Freak
12.) Sam
Building off of Eclipse's rules for the last U.S. Draft, we have compiled a new set of rules for this draft. You may take a look at the rules below.
------------
U.S. Draft Rules
-Players have 12 rounds to make the most well-rounded park. The order will be selected randomly and will reverse at the end of each round.
-Players will have 24 hours to make their pick; if the player has not made the pick(s) within the allotted time, the next player may make their pick. If you do not meet the deadline, your pick will be permanently disqualified. However, if, for instance, the deadline for the first player to make their pick has passed, but the player whose turn it now is has not made their pick, the first player may still make their pick. This ensures that the draft will keep moving, but will also potentially give more time to the players to make their pick. If you miss 3 picks, you will be disqualified and your picks will be put into the Pool.
Note: Players at the top and bottom of the “list” will be allotted thirty-six hours to make their picks because they must make two picks.
-The Pool will be compromised of picks that a disqualified person has made. Once the picks are put into the Pool, they are available to everyone and will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. In order to take a coaster from the pool, the players must first drop one of their own coasters into the pool.
-We also ask that nobody make suggestions for coasters people should pick. It's not fair to other members and such posts will be deleted.
-When making a pick, a post should contain the full name of the coaster. Abbreviations for parks will be allowed as long as they are exact. You may add link to Coaster Profile on RCDB with pick.
-We encourage contestants to not post photos with their picks in order to speed up page loading time.
-About making trades: For trades to be official, both sides need to officially agree to the trade by posting here saying that you either announce or confirm the trade in question.
Here is the list of coasters eligible to pick:
-All coasters must be operating. (Includes coasters experiencing minor breakdowns or minor rehabs) Rides must be classified as “Operating” on the Roller Coaster Database (http://www.rcdb.com/) in order for it to be a valid pick.
Note: Although HRP has closed early for the season, with it's future uncertain we will still allow contestants to pick from this park's selection of coasters. This note applies to other parks with closure possibly on the horizon.
-A coaster under construction cannot be picked until it is running and open to the public.
-A coaster can only be picked once; once it is selected, no one else may select it again.
-Players may only pick one clone or mirror. You may not have two of the same ride (example Two Batman: The Rides)
"Your Name" = your turn to pick
"Your Name" = you are next to pick
$ = coaster is on the trading block
X = missed pick
Note: Hat tip to Eclipse for the original set of rules in which we used and modified.

Once all slots are filled, we will be able to start! Thank you and we look forward to this being another successful draft!
