At the rate we've been going the last two weeks we will wrap up beyond April
I will do the next draft if it is for fantasy baseball but otherwise I'm sitting out the next one.
I'm not sure we will do another draft prior to the 6th Annual NFL draft...
@Hall you wanna join us for the 6th Annual draft?
Last year, and this year again, I'm doing a pretty unique NCAA draft bracket. The basic premise of it is that there are 16 participants, and each are assigned 4 random teams (1 in each region) at the start. It doesn't matter which teams you end up getting because the winner of the game is determined by point spread. The team favored to win must cover the spread in order for the participant to keep their team. If they don't cover but still advance, the opposing manager gets to steal the team as their new owner.
So for example say you a #2 seed and they faced a #15 seed and are favored to win by 15.5 points. If the #2 seed wins by 13 points, the owner of the #15 seed now takes over as the owner of the #2 seed team and advances to the next round. The payouts start to go out incrementally starting with the sweet 16 and increase on a scale all the way to ultimate winner.
It's great because a manager could end up starting with all #1 seeds and not win anything. Or conversely you could be stuck with 4 16 seeds and end up winning the whole thing.
So I got my teams:
Gonzaga - #1 Seed
LSU - #3 Seed
St. Mary's - #11 Seed
Auburn - #5 Seed
I was probably one of the luckier ones to end up with higher seeded teams, but again it's all about the point spread. I'm not sold on Gonzaga. Hopefully St. Mary's will help me steal a team. Thoughts on my path to victory?
