Fuck I am tired of playing the best drafters in round 1. Last draft it was UK and this draft I'll be facing Nos if we continue to set the matchups the same as before.


Shane VS DJ
Clark VS 500
Wamu VS Hockey
Nos VS Ritz
UK VS WLK

You might as well as said 500 bye :clap:

The draft order has been deciding the draft order. The guy who picked first plays the guy who picked 2nd, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 6, 7 vs 8, 9 vs 10.

Ya I got Ya. I think we should stay consistent with it then.

I don't mind losing to a better team but losing in round 1 eliminates you from earning any Vcash which sucks. UK's team and mine were very close and I didn't lose any sleep over it but I would have liked a chance at other teams to earn that cash. Maybe a double elimination. No matter what, not everyone will be happy so I am not sure what the solution is.

I like giving the highest ranked first round loser another shot.

Actually nvm do the loser gets another chance. Now that 1-3 get paid it saves you if first match up was tough.

I say highest ranking loser should get another chance. If that happens we would have 6 teams moving on instead of a odd 5 teams.

It's what happened when I got my clock cleaned by Jeffro last draft.

But if you even lost to Nos you would still have a chance at Vcash by being the best "loser" and moving on.

But yeah these match ups will be tough either way

One good thing about 10 teams is we wont have a 3-way tie in the 3 team Championship game.


So should we do the 2nd round games by the rankings?


EX.. Teams that win round 1 are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 7th ranked teams and the 3rd ranked team is the highest ranked first round loser. So, round 2 games would be 1st vs 7th 2nd vs 5th and 3rd vs 4th???


The only rule is the first round loser cannot play the same team they lost to in round one...


Thoughts???

This right here is what we should do. Its definitely best way.

But call it Friday stupidity....how does this avoid a 3 way ship?


Edit. I gotcha. With 10 votes can't 3 way tie. LOL.

To much math for me. Basically it means nos moves on in playoffs and I move on to my couch.

Quit trying to make us feel sorry for you, your team is very good and IMO you have a very good chance of winning...

Now about the rankings, do you guys want to post your rankings or give them to me or maybe send the rankings to two or three of us?

I say just send them to you. I hope people are not worried about "ranking you" because they PM to you.

I feel that is quickest way as then you have everyones data and can quickly add it up.

I agree it's the easiest way aside from just posting on thread. I do like posting on thread because now everyone knows where they stand.

Nos can post where everyone stands pretty quickly after. Having everyone rankings public may lead to some pissed grudges or something.

Ditto.

Ps. I did PM wamu. I'm really surprised of Clark's actions or lack of actions. He posted he enjoyed the last draft and this draft he just blew us off. He is still posting on SportsHoopla but just not here. Real shame. A even bigger shame is we had 3 non draft participants make more picks then Clark did.

This plus the mini meltdown a couple nights ago put this draft at the top of the list of most memorable.


Can we just have Nos give each of the remaining teams their last player and end this shit? It's the 12th man, if you really need him your team is probably screwed with foul trouble and injuries.
