2017 Top Gun (Game A???) Draft Thread

[britrock88]

As mentioned elsewhere, in the interest of maximizing draft time and player interest, we'll start rolling with the 10 we have. I reserve the right to split off the people holding the last picks (sooner and stevew) if we get enough to have 2 games. If we have a few more signups, but not enough to split off, I'll just pack them onto the back of the order.

For reference:

Game Rules

1) Participants sign up to play in this thread. I will break up participants into groups to try to keep group sizes between 8 and 12 participants.
2) Each participant drafts a team of 6 players participating in the NCAA Tournament. Each participant must draft a player from a team seeded 10-16.
3) Participants' teams will be formed by a snake draft conducted in a separate forum thread.
-----a) The draft will start immediately after the Selection Show and run until complete. If not completed by Thursday morning, I will auto-fill participants' teams according to lists or my own judgment. [EDIT: you get it.]
-----b) A draft clock will run from 10am to 6pm EDT each day. During this window, each participant will have 1 hour after the previous selection to draft a player. After 1 hour has elapsed, subsequent participants may cut in line to make selections. The skipped participant may back-fill their selection at any time. (NOTE: this rule relies on participants PMing the teams after them in the draft order. I will use discretion to resolve circumstances involving missed PMs and skipped picks.)
-----c) Please do not sign up if you are unable to 1) participate during the day, 2) send in lists, or 3) be content to back-fill your way to a title like Karl can.
4) Participants' teams scores equal the sum of the teams' players' scoring in the NCAA Tournament.
5) Play-in games do not count towards the standings unless a player is drafted before his team's play-in game and his team loses its play-in game.

[tarcone]

1. Alonzo Trier Arizona

[britrock88]

ntndeacon takes Frank Mason, Kansas
I take Malik Monk, Kentucky

[murrayyyyy]

Josh Hart - Nova

[Vince, Pt. II]

Of course after clamoring for this I get stuck in meetings the rest of the day and stall everything. Pick forthcoming.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Semi Ojeleye, SMU

[Chief Rum]

Luke Kennard, Duke

[Young Drachma]

Sindarius Thornwell, South Carolina

[Logan]

Justin Jackson, North Carolina

[sooner333]

I am going to withdraw. I'm not sure I have the time to engage at breakneck draft speed and I don't want to cause the game to not wrk. I will PM the next up.

[stevew]

Me too. It works better with 10-12 people and I just don't have the time

[Karlifornia]

I'll jump in for someone if that's ok. If not, big deal

[stevew]

Karl is going to take my spot

[Karlifornia]

rescinded until further notice

[Chief Rum]

Don't we need a replacement for sooner first? It is technically his replacement's choice, prior to stevew/Karl's.

[Karlifornia]

Yeah, sorry if I jumped the gun.

[Young Drachma]

Okay whose turn is it?

[Logan]

Aren't the extras at the back end anyway? Shouldn't we just move forward to henry?

[britrock88]

henry296 is up. PM forthcoming.

Karl added to the end of the round.

[Young Drachma]

.

[britrock88]

Depending on our progress during the workday, I may institute a 24-hour draft clock. Pick-due times wouldn't accelerate as they would during the workday, but it would keep things moving overnight (to the tune of over one round per evening). Be prepared to check in nightly or send some lists if we don't get rolling today.

[henry296]

Josh Jackson, Kansas

[B & B]

Nigel Williams "Like a" Goss, Zags

[britrock88]

king has had over an hour, so I'll get Karl's list picks in and give king another hour to make his pair of picks.

[britrock88]

for Karl:

Caleb Swanigan, Purdue
Lauri Markkanen, Arizona

[B & B]

I checked and see that he still hasn't opened the pm I sent 2 hours ago.

lets proceed.

[B & B]

Jayson Tatum, Puke

[henry296]

Dillon Brooks, Oregon

[Young Drachma]

Bonzie Colson, Notre Dame

[Chief Rum]

Donovan Mitchell, Louisville

[Logan]

Sorry guys. Back-filling now.

[Logan]

Jalen Brunson, Villanova

I'll PM Vince just in case.

[britrock88]

Vince had a list in. I filled in the submitted picks and PMed murrayyyyy.

We'll be going to a 24-hour clock. The difference overnight (until 10am EDT) is that the pick due time WILL NOT accelerate when previous players pick sooner. Your pick will be due at a fixed time.

[britrock88]

I'm aware this may lead to a lot of lists (which I am good with administering) and cross-picking (which I am willing to sort out). Apologies in advance for any confusion. Just trying to get this thing done.

[murrayyyyy]

Bryce Alford UCLA

[britrock88]

Joel Berry II, UNC
