How does it work? I've never even heard of it

 

[SFNL]

We had 12 guys in it. We each drafted 6 players from each region... Total points by your players wins. You pretty much need your player's teams to keep winning to have a chance or hope that you get some huge games out of the higher seed's leading scorers. It's fun to watch it this way rather than just cheering on your brackets.

I like that, it sounds fun. I think I would be going after Canadians just to prove a point to my friends lol

 

[SFNL]

Absolutely.... It gives you incentive to watch games closely that you otherwise wouldn't give 2 shits about.

No... A bunch of my buddies get together at a bar every year & hash out a live draft over 3 hours and a bunch of beer. We will all get together at the same bar Friday afternoon to watch the games & talk shit.

Standings after the 1st round

1st = 316 points, 13 players left
2nd (me) = 302 points, 16 players left
3rd = 296 points, 15 players left
4th = 260 points, 15 players left
5th = 255 points, 8 players left
6th = 250 points, 14 players left
7th = 245 points, 13 players left
8th = 244 points, 13 players left
9th = 238 points, 13 players left
10th = 234 points, 20 players left
11th = 230 points, 13 players left
last = 212 points, 18 players left

Still anyone's ballgame.. Payout is $360 for first $160 for 2nd, $80 for 3rd

 

[SFNL]

Ahhh... It's that time of year again. Got my draft tonight & I'm thirsty.

 

[uncfan103]

We need a SportsHoopla version.

Does position matter or is it just any 6 players from each bracket??

 

[SFNL]

Any 6. Position doesn't matter... It adds an element of trying to figure out which teams will go farther but if you get someone that puts up 30+ in the first game and loses it can be more beneficial than a player that goes the distance but only scores a few a game. I think we limit it to 3 players max per team.

I forget what place I got last year but it was mainly because Brown for FGCSU went deep.

 

[SFNL]

Does anyone know of any key injuries out there among the field?

 

[douggie]

No one? I got

Brown - Mia
Cadougan - Marq
Grant - Syr
Paul - Ill
Wyatt - Temp
O'Brien - Temp
Ware - Lou
Plumlee -Duke
Thornton - Duke
Jackson - Mem
Pressey - Mizzou
Wijk - Valpo
Muhammed - UCLA
Osby - Okie
Kretzer - Akron
Brown - Florida Gulf Coast
Price - WKU
Craft - tOSU
Grant - ND
Cooley -ND
Saunders - Harvard
Chambers - Harvard
Southwell - KState

Damn, you got fucked if you drew Plumlee and Thornton form Duke. Not only that but Grant isn't even on the Notre Dame team anymore.

 

[SFNL]

^ that was last year, douggie. Dug this one up rather than make a new one for this year.

DAAAAAAMN.

This draft is intensity in ten cites

 

[SFNL]

We had 12 guys. Broke it down from region to region and drafted 6 from each. We all had individual sheets with player stats otherwise it would be impossible. It took 3 hours.

 

[SFNL]

A nice little 38 from Murray & 19 from Eversley
