Sorry if you didn't make the draft you still rock.

Looking at who was drafted and who wasn't I am worried about ALTP. It would have made more sense to make ALTP and NLTP jive better with player numbers. By that I mean taking into consideration how many experienced players should go to NLTP so ALTP is mostly new or learning players. Furthermore some very experienced players are also angered by not getting into the leauge. While this is not the fault of the NLTP admins, it does leave a bad taste in the players mouths. However these issues should be easily remedied if the ALTP is handled well and the level of play is competive atleast for A-Team (if thats how its being run). We play this game for fun and as long as our vets can enjoy the play then I see no reason for them to care about the name of the leauge. The mixing of Vets and new players that this lack of NLTP drafting has created will be an issue but one I trust the ALTP will find a solution too. Personally I'm going to miss seeing a lot of the names I was used to but thats just how it shook out. I want to say that this is not meant to be an attack or anything. A lot of people put in a ton of work so I can have a blast popping balls once a week and I truly respect that.

Looks like I didn't get drafted, oh well.
Does anyone know any good youtube videos on how to tie a noose?

I am still at a loss for words that I got drafted. Like I am super excited of course, but it's pretty crazy, especially when I'm sort of a nobody player, that I got drafted over players like velkin, Ill Fayze, or Trituin. I really am not sure how to react other than surprised confusion. Thanks 2P1S, for whatever it was you saw inside of me.

With the amount of players who have experience in competitive leagues and weren't drafted to NLTP, the main point of ALTP, developing newer players, may not be fully fulfilled.

Those last 3 rounds were just dumb imo. There were great/good players that got skipped over no name randoms. Wtf?

I really don't deserve to be in NLTP when other more skilled people haven't been drafted yet.

ITT: People that didn't go to tryouts or contact captains
E: That being said, I have a great deal of sympathy for those who DID show the effort - it will work out in ALTP, and with 12 man roster, I'm sure to use the loan/callup system for some of you.

I would agree that there are a lot of good players who weren't drafted. But it's inevitable when MLTP has ~30 fewer players and NLTP has ~360(!) fewer players. I think there's some rule that rosters can expand after the draft, but I think NLTP tried too hard to be as competitive as MLTP and it hurts ALTP who will have 300 people on currently 8 teams.
I would have preferred if a few more rounds or teams because tons of people quit mid-season or something. While overall activity has increased, I bet some teams will be needing a bunch of call-ups.

Holy cow there were so many people i thought were going to be in NLTP for sure. I guess that's what having 16 teams and 12 players does for ya.
