March Madness Draft

[Senator Clay Davis]

Xavier time.

[OzSome]

How many picks do we make?

[Joborule]

Let's go Milwaukee Panthers!

[drew24]

8 picks per person. 8x8 for all 64 teams. So 5 picks left until Selection Sunday where all the teams that didn't make it get replaced by teams that did.

On Selection Sunday ineedanother will start off the make up round (if he has to) and then Drake, Senator and so on. Feel free to pick "first 4 teams" but if that team gets eliminated you pick again from another remaining team.

If by Wednesday all the teams haven't been claimed we will have a free for all. Don't worry about draft order. Just fill out your 8 teams. We haven't had to do this yet.

I think we should half the AK time from 12 hours to 6. From midnight to 6am it doesn't count against your AK time.

I hope that's clear for everyone. The rules are the same as we've always done it. Just shortening the AK.

They are likely a 15 or 16 seed but they are in and who knows maybe they can pull off a crazy upset:

American University

[Displaced Flames fan]

I'm going to take BYU.

[OzSome]

St. John

Wow I sucked!! Picking 4 teams that didn't make it and one on the bubbles. I guess I haven't been following NCAA very closely.

Yeah a quick google of "bracketology" goes a long way

oh well rookie mistakes. I guess I will be cheering for a lot of upsets then

[drew24]

ineedanother feel free to make your pick now. AK clock will start at 5.
It'll go ineedanother -> Drake -> Senator (yeesh NC State over SMU) -> moon -> OzSome

[OzSome]

I know i got the last pick but since I need 4-5 picks to fill up my team can I make my pick now?

[drew24]

Nah we'll do the proper order. You'll do all 5 picks at the end, providing that nobody with a play-in team that loses is picking by the time that you haven't done your 5.

[ineedanother]

I will select providence.

[Drake]

New Mexico State Aggies:

[drew24]

Gentle reminder about the AK freeze from 12-6. So Senator has till 11.30 or so.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yeah SMU got snubbed hard for NC State, but NC State had Coach K lobbying in their corner and SMU had no one really. On that note I'll take NC State anyways...
