Yes, and the second round will work backwards, as in the last pick of the first round picks first, and then working backwards to #1.
The ordered will be determined by a random number generator. I may have an outside source do it this season, as there are always cries of foul play. :P

Sounds fiarly stright-forward and reasonable enough.

Yeah, i can imagine that there would be a certain amount of bitching and moaning when people don't get first pick.
Are the Hall Of Famers given any preference when it comes to voting?

Why? I simply answered your question, wasn't meant to be funny or insulting.
Looks like the Lame Baton stays in the Fatton camp.

I can see this hitman fella being a cause for concern this season. Pink Feather Promotions will look to eridicate him sooner rather than later.

Your integrity is top drawer sir! A distinguishable record indeed! By my count you have had only one mark against your name in all the many seasons you have provided quality oversight! (Not counting the great computer snafu, a hardware issue that no one should be held responsible for.) And that one incident is a forgotten matter.
For those who were not here at the time, I will illiuminate you.
There was once a a prat of a "champion" known as lil' PJ. And he was so terrified of GBP's #1 challenger that this champion was allowed to cower in safe harbor and not honor a mandatory fight. An action which postponed Joe Frazier's inevitable march to Unification. However at that time and to this day we do not count this against the commish. When a champion is afraid and will not fight, the only thing that can be worse than such cowardice, would be action taken by a cruel and ruthless commish that would force such a champion to be beaten into merciless humiliating submission in front of witnesses.
You are to be admired for your sense of mercy in that case.

Don't worry, we don't pick on the less fortunate. ESL classes are available, at a modest price, for those of you who need them. We'll even give title shots to those who show the most progress.

Wow, a 20 manager roster! What should the over / under be in weeks that managers stop participating... 5 seems right. I'll even take the under.

Draft order will be posted tomorrow morning, with the draft commencing right after.
Same as last season, your first round pick will consist of a fighter AND a trainer, which are listed right below the fighters. Last pick of the 1st round picks two fighters and a trainer, and then we work backwards for the 2nd round.
You can also PM me a list of fighters and trainers in preferential order to speed up the process if you're not around,

You have no idea what pressure is on here, you started past half way of this season, i never ducked a fight, most of my victories were very good wins, and most of my losses were to very good opponents,
Itll be interesting to see how well you go this season

It is surprisingly frankly that Harding made the top 25, given the fact that he was schooled by Jose Torres, who incidentally also defeated human opposition in week 40...
Still, I am not complaining, I'm rather proud of my boxers achievements in my debut season.
They certainly weren't the pinnacle of sporting excellence...
BUT, they certainly weren't the worst fighter on here, not by a long shot.
