You don't get to play in the event though. Should I have stated that outright? I thought it was implicit given people show up to events to play at them. You always have the option to bounce but if you actually want to play in the event, you agree and understand that the cards you open aren't actually yours to keep (necessarily).
To coerce someone, you have to force or intimidate someone to do something they don't want to do. If you explain to them how you're drafting before you start, what is stopping them from just going "nah, I'm good"?
Coercion, theft, scam.......do you guys even know what these words mean? Again its fine if you'd rather not draft that way but calling people or stores that do so thieving scam artists is just too much.
