Explanation for those who haven't watched over the years. 
We each pick in a snake draft 8 teams in the NCAA tournament.  You get the points for your team winning multiplied by the round. Add them all together for a total score.

So- if you draft UH as a 1 seed there is 21 possible points:  1 point for winning round 1, 2 for round 2, 3 for round 3, for for round 4, 5 for round 5 and 6 for round 6 if they win it all.

If you pick Texas as an 11 seed and they win the round of 64 you get 11 points.  If they win in the round of 32 you get 22 points for that round for a total of 33 points.  So- picking an 11 seed that makes the sweet 16 is more valuable than a 1 seed that wins it all.  Picking a lot of 11 and 12 seeds also means you are potentially out before the end of the first weekend.  

Need two more still.  It's fun.  Huckleberry nerds out and does recaps and updates and makes it more fun.

How do we do play-ins? You get whichever team advances or you get points for the play-in but only if you get them right?

You get whichever team advances, but you don't earn points from the play-in game itself. Points only awarded once the field of 64 is set.

Yeah, I was specifically looking for this right after selections because I've missed a couple of times. Maybe put "Two spots left" or whatever it is in the thread title?

I'm at a work conference all day. The earliest I could start drafting is tomorrow morning. If y'all still need someone then, I can do it. If you find someone before that, I'm cool with sitting out.

HOrn on the bayou is good- we can wait until tomorrow morning and he's fun to have in. 

 

1 more needed.

Best way to pay?

WE don't collect b/c that sucks.  whoever wins DM's pay information at the end and everyone pays on the honor system. There has never been a stiff in 10 years.  One year derka got irritated b/c he only collected $140.  Then he was like- oh- I don't have my $20.  It was funny.  At least that's how I remember it.

i bumped the thread like three times asking who still hadn’t paid, and you finally were like, “wait- you’re not forgetting to subtract your own entry fee are you?” and i was like

also the year i won it was probably the most epic draft i’ll ever have. i ended up with three of the final 4 iirc, and it was was like a six seed, an 11 seed, and a 9 seed lol. my very first pick (second or third overall) was 9 seed unc because they played shaka in the first round, lol. thanks shaka!

Since Bayou picks seventh, we might as well start whenever Huckleberry is ready? I should be pretty on-line tomorrow but I know it helps to get things going whenever people are ready

Okay done with my "research" for this year. Not as many super high EVs as usual, very spread out overall. Should make this more fun. And I don't like my top pick but I'm not going to change my system. For those of you who are new my system is:

  1. Pick the next highest EV from my ratings except...
  2. Never pick Oklahoma and also...
  3. Never pick A&M and also...
  4. Never pick Shaka Smart

So with that said, my #1 overall pick which I don't love because of their second round matchup is

Gonzaga
