Top Gun Sign-up Thread 2013

britrock88 · 03-17-2013, 04:08 PM

Reread last year's sign-up thread and realized we're running behind already, so I'll get the ball rolling on this.

Game Rules

1) Each participant drafts a team of 6 players.
2) Snake draft done on the forum.
3) You score as many points as each of your drafted players scores in the NCAA tournament.
4) One of your players must be from a team seeded 10th or lower.
5) "Play-in games" do not count towards the standings.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This does not start until the selection show and must end before tip-off on Thursday, so it is critical that you are able to be around during the day to make picks and/or send in lists. The draft clock this year will run from 10am-6pm eastern time, everyone will have one hour to pick, after that time we move on and the skipped person can make their pick whenever they show up. Please do not sign up if you are unable to either participate during the day or send in lists long enough to cover 1-2 rounds.

Post here to sign up. The original game size was 10 people, but in recent years we've gotten 16+ and have run 2 games, I'm more than willing to do that again this year if there is enough interest.

Only 26 hours total to choose (in the on-the-clock period) before tip-offs at noon Thursday. I'll close sign-ups, split groups (if necessary), and start the clock at 10am tomorrow, assuming we hit a good number by then.

Karlifornia · 03-17-2013, 04:11 PM

Whoa. I'm usually always late to this thread. I'm in for sure. My favorite game of the year!

henry296 · 03-17-2013, 04:12 PM

Yes, please.

britrock88 · 03-17-2013, 11:21 PM

I'll split this into 2 games if we hit 16, as there's precedent for that. What if we get stuck at 14-15? Thoughts?

bhlloy · 03-17-2013, 11:24 PM

Ill play to get us closer to 16

That's one way to answer the question.

larrymcg421 · 03-17-2013, 11:27 PM

I'll play.

hoopsguy · 03-18-2013, 12:16 AM

Will jump in this again after (I think?) missing a season.

Logan · 03-18-2013, 08:37 AM

Appreciated the PM and sorry it took me so long to get to the board. If you're looking for someone to have 18 as a nice round number, I'll play. But if you think it's already pushing it, no problem sitting this one out, no worries.

spleen1015 · 03-18-2013, 08:55 AM

I think round numbers are good. Make both groups the same size.

britrock88 · 03-18-2013, 10:10 AM

Alright. Beginning to get things together now.

britrock88 · 03-18-2013, 10:25 AM

Okay, threads posted. I promise you I didn't rig the draft order; I was just thinking last night that I wouldn't want the first pick!

So salty that I'm missing out on this.

Logan · 03-18-2013, 02:34 PM

I think we usually end up needing an alternate...

Could smack you on to the back end of either draft order...
