Hey guys can we make a cowboyszone big board?

A month from now is when it usually happens, I think.

We tried last year and practically no one bothered to do it. It's a good idea, but good luck getting more than 6 or 7 people to put the effort in

I feel like that draft spreadsheet in the draft zone may help when we get it going. Guess ive just been watching too many highlights getting me all excited haha

See if you can get at least 6 people to commit.

I've given this some thought before. I think it would work if it is presented in a way that does not take too much time and is an iterative process. I think you need an upfront commitment from people before you start.

I think it would be best to start with a list of the top players at each position and try to get input on ranking them. The 2nd step would be integrating them into a big board where players at different position are ranked relative to each other.

A player versus player voting system would be effective.

For example, Leonard Williams vs David Cobb pops up. You select Leonard Williams, he gets a point and moves up the board. Then another pair of random players pops up and you select who you like more. So on and so forth.

It'd be an efficient way to do it, and posters could spend 2 minutes or 2 hours doing it. No commitment necessary.

Each "round" would only take a couple seconds and the cream would rise to the top, so to speak.

Plus, it'd be fun. If every poster did 200 rounds (would take maybe 10-15 minutes to do that many), there'd be tens of thousands of votes on 250ish guys.

Just an idea.

Any coders here?

How far do you want to go? 32? 64?

Simplest way to go would be for a bunch of us to submit a list of 32-64 players, in order of quality, and have someone compile the rankings. Just add the rankings together for each player from each list, divide each total by the number of times the player was listed, and sort the averages in ascending order, then. The lower the average, the higher the rank. I'll volunteer to do the compilation.

May not be the most accurate, but it's easy and maybe how we can get the most people involved.

The worst part of building an app like that is data entry.

Yeah. I'm no coder but I imagine the code part would be easy to write. Pull random names out of a list, give a choice between the two names, add 1 point to that choice - all on a loop.

The data entry would be a pain though as far as entering the names.

Last year, I had 8 people, me being one, that gave me their rankings...many said they would, only a few did....I put a shared google doc out there to make it easier as well....if you think this can work somehow, I can build that into the draft spreadsheet....but, it's a bunch of work, so if people aren't going to do it, it becomes a waste of time....I would say that you get commitments from at least 25 people and then a true "Big Board" can be done

It can be a drop down menu where you just select the player at each level; I can build it, but people have to commit to it before I take the time

I can't get you other spreadsheet to work from the drop down site. Do I need to create a log-in to get it to work?

I'd participate.

I think that is what it is, but I am not 100% sure...I am going to test that theory today with a different computer (my daughter's laptop)...I will let you know...I used that site because the admin thought it was a good one (and it seems good).

 

[pacboyX]

Yea im definetly in.

 

[VACowboy]

I'm in.

 

[Fredd]

so, bumped for last time....a few people were interested, but we need a bunch more if we want this to be legit....last chance....if people want to do this, we can get running with it and I can add the rankings to my spreadsheet for all to use....if not? se-la-ve (not sure how to spell that)
