2015 Top Gun Game A draft thread

[britrock88]

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.
-----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.
*REVISED* 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.

[kingfc22]

1.1 Jahlil Okafor - Duke

[Lathum]

1.2 Frank Kaminsky- Wisconsin.

[bhlloy]

Much tougher choice than the third pick should be

1.3 Aaron Harrison, Kentucky

[britrock88]

By list, Karlifornia picks:

1.4 Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga

[sooner333]

1.5 Quinn Cook, Duke

[BillyNYC]

It's been more than an hour, so I can make my pick, correct?

1.7 Stanley Johnson, Arizona

[wade moore]

Just got the pm - have to go to a meeting, will pick in about 45 minutes.

You're good. But for picking ahead of the guy who's running the games.

[britrock88]

1.6 Darrun Hilliard II, Villanova

[wade moore]

Wow - didn't realize an hour was the limit. That's more aggressive than years past, right? If we're doing that, people have to be good about PMP - I got mine like 45 minutes after the pick before me.

[wade moore]

1.8 Devin Booker, Kentucky

[Lathum]

I believe we have gone with 2 hours in the past.

I agree, an hour is a bit rough, I often am away for more than an hour during my work day

I think we've been doing an hour for at least a couple years. We do have 3 days to get through 6 rounds, and the clock only runs 8 hours a day...

[B & B]

Picking on the end at 10th is not my fave, but what can you do?

I have my list down to 9 guys after seeing so many that would have been insta-picks.

Therefore I expect NONE of my remaining 7 to get back to me after my b2b selections, so Im gonna take an hour or so.

Not true.

I PM'ed immediately after my pick. You can see this from the thread, where I posted my pick at 12:01 and you posted about receiving the PM at 12:05. So you might have gotten it 45 SECONDS after the pick.

(And, for the record, I was stepping out for a while for lunch at 12, so made my pick pretty quickly after the previous hour expired to avoid the potential of my own pick being skipped if I wasn't back soon enough. I did PM britrock88 a few minutes prior to it, in case he was checking PMs.)

My first time doing Top Gun, and trying not to screw it up!

Why'd you list pick me? I just posted 5 minutes ago . I'm fine with the pick, but I would rather use the list only if I'm not around

Sorry, Karl. Should have PM'ed you as well, but I was told you had a list so I just PM'ed brit.

[bhlloy]

You going to repick, or should I go ahead?

[britrock88]

Whoops! My assumption is to use a list for as long as possible once I get it. I saw that you had posted, but FOFC didn't show you as being in the thread. If you want me to just use a list for one pick (or any other instruction), just let me know!
