NCAA March Madness Draft Signup 2013 (Draft order is up)

[drew24]

Hello all,

Let's do this again.

We'll do it similar to last year but I 'd like to change scoring.

Draft order determined by this thing here
Draft order is snaking due to an outcry.

Asskicks are set at twelve hours, starting.... now!

Trades welcome any time, including multiple-for-one trades. If you trade during the tournament, you lose all the points that the team has accumulated for you thus far.

After selection day, we'll throw all the teams that made the tournament selection but weren't drafted by any of us back into the draft, and you can replace your teams that didn't get selected with some that did. So, for example, if you picked a team that didn't get selected, the team is removed from your roster and next time your pick comes around, you can fill it with a team that did make the tournament.

In the event that the draft isn't finished by the day before the tournament, we'll have a last minute 'feeding frenzy' round where you can fill out your roster without worrying about draft order.

I'd like to change scoring to 1-1-1-1-2-2 or just all rounds worth 1 point. With the way we did it last year only the first round of the draft mattered.

Reserve in case of a drop out:

Also if someone wants to volunteer to do the bracket that would be great.


Alright. Here's the draft order. We'll start the draft on March 1st. I'll make a draft thread shortly before that.

Just confirming that I am in, sounds fun!

[ineedanother]

Sure I will try this

[GirlySports]

I don't remember doing this at all in 2009! That was a nice thread to re-read. Who did the bracket? That was purdy.

I'm in.

[drew24]

octothorp. He did a really nice job with it.

[Drake]

I'm in.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Hmmm, never actually done this kind of pool (usually just do the straight brackets). So you pick teams based on far you think they'll go, is that it? Either way I'm in, this year is gonna be ridiculously wide open so it should be fun.

I would be in if there are still spots open.

Yeah so draft 8 teams based on how well you think they do. Can't draft a team that's already been chosen so the field of 64 (68) is all covered. Every time one of your teams win you get a point. We'll start drafting before Selection Sunday because of how long drafts on CP take. Around March 1st sounds about right.

Yes sir. All filled up now.

Alright so 2 orders of business to clear up before the draft.

1. Scoring will be 1 for each round unless I get 4 votes against.
   
2. Lastly if someone wants to do a bracket that would be great. If not then I'll just take a bracket from somewhere online and highlight the teams with a different colour assigned to every user. Won't look half as nice as octothorp's though.
