Ok so here is how I envision this working.
There will be 2 distinct groups in this draft and 3 distinct phases leading up to a playoff bracket.
Group One: The Drafters
Group Two: The Voters
Phase One: Population of Pool
Phase Two: Draft from Pool
Phase Three: Voting
The Drafters
During phase 1, the drafters will, in a round robin style, pick 8 actors each, 4 at a time. This will make up the "pool" of actors. Once everyone has selected 8 actors phase one will end.
During phase 2, the drafters will, again in a round robin style, draft 8 actors, one at a time until all of the actors are picked. Once each drafter has 8 picks and the pool is empty phase 2 is over.
During phase 3, the drafters get to sit back and be judged!
During the playoff phase, those who are advancing will then choose an elite team of 5 of their actors to enter the playoffs with. If a player advances to the next round of the playoffs, all actors not used in the previous round must be used. Once the playoff are over a winner will be crowned and the draft will be over!
The Voters
During phase one and phase two the voters have it easy. They don't have to really do anything, but can have fun commenting on choices.
During phase three, before the playoffs, each voter will get 3 votes that they can assign to any drafter. Votes can be split or stacked. Once all voters have placed their votes the votes will be tallied and the top 60% will be named playoff picks. The two drafters closest to the 60% mark, but under it will be made into wildcards. The wildcards get to participate in the playoffs, but for the "wildcard round", the wildcards don't get to pick their 5, instead their opponent gets to select the 5 actors they will be versing. During the playoffs, voters will vote once on each individual match. Ties will be broken first by the opening round tallies and beyond that will be broken by the host (who doesn't participate but does break the secondary tie). This voting process repeats each round of the playoffs until a winner is chosen.
Ideally, it would be nice to have 10 drafters and 5-10 voters, but I can build a valid tournament out of this structure as long as we have 8 drafters and 4 voters.
NOTES:
Deadlines will happen naturally as not everyone's schedules line up. That being said there will be a minimum 1 week viewing period between the building of the pools and the drafting phases. This makes sure both voters and drafters have an opportunity to know who they are picking. I'm thinking of starting this sometime in March.

Some of us take it far more seriously than others, so you have to try and account for everybody when hosting a draft.
Exactly.
