I had 29 players on the drafting list. The first ones (21) were ordered nice after one and another. And no PFs amongst them (as mentioned before on the forum). I picked one with preference 8. On my list (that I printed out) # 8 is a Center, but the one I picked is a PF! http://buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/playerbox.aspx?PlayerID=477...
How can such happen?

From the news: BB-Mike 4/25/2008 9:13:55 AM
As usual, players will be renegotiating their salaries during the upcoming offseason. Recently, some positions have been becoming less and less less common. The power forwards in particular have realized their scarcity and will be demanding increased wages. It should come as no suprise, then, that many centers (and even some guards) have requested that we change their listed position before the salary negotiations begin.

When did you last check the list?
A couple of weeks ago the best position of many players changed, both in the rosters and in the draft list.

I printed out the list on April 25. 8:58 AM.
But I do not think that players in the draft took part in this change you mention?

Yes, they did.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I suppose it's possible that the draft (mistakenly) wasn't updated to use the new position determination algorithm. Just speculation.

The listed positions of players in the draft pools changed Sunday morning, April 27. At that time, Unkel's draftee change from C to PF. The player's skills did not change. Because the he was listed as a C under the old system, he must have very strong center skills and be right on the line between C and PF.
