We HAVE to talk about the changes to last season's Victory Hockey League Fantasy rules. Prior to whatever last season was, when you were in the first or sixth position you had 12 hours to make your FIRST of two back-to-back picks, leaving you with a total of 24 hours between selections if you must use the full time period. With these new rules you are required to make BOTH selections in the allotted 12 hour period. What the HECK!? I understand the reasoning behind it, namely me, @MexicanCow123, and my mentor @gorlab abusing the timers to see how the teams shake out in the simulations rather then winging it - and hey, it works! I snagged Catia Goncalves as my last selection in the draft and it propelled me to cream of my group!

 

Where this becomes problematic is the inherit disadvantage it gives players that are in the #1 and #6 selection spots. Looking at who's been skipped in the drafts thusfar, I see FOUR GMs of various leagues, as well as many other notable members. I think the daily VHL burnout is a serious thing where I don't want to come home from work and look at rosters to find the most efficient pick after a hard day's work sending valuable messages in general chat. By being skipped in the #1 or #6 position, you are conceding not just the best pick available, but TWO of the best picks available to the tryhards in the #2 or #5 pick with no respect for your personal time. Essentially, if you are in the #1 or #2 slots, being skipped ONCE is being skipped TWICE. If being allowed to make one pick at a time, I can simply throw away my pick and select the best goaler available, for example, instead of grinding on the team pages to find the highest TPA players on teams, leaving the valuable double pick for when I have a fresh mind. If the 24 hour timer continues instead of resetting the 12 hour clock, I don't see how this is an issue? It really seems like a way to punish those who are not terminally online discord to select their entire team in 2 hours.
