starting 10 - 2019

[murrayyyyy]

Keeping it alive since I do it for a subreddit. Usual rules:

2019 Starting 10 - reddit - Google Sheets

Here's the premise:

1. You pick a 10 man roster of any 810 players from the NCAA tournament field.
2. You score as many points as each of your drafted players scores in the NCAA tournament.
3. You get a multiplier for the seed of his team. (i.e. if Nate Wolters of 14th seeded South Dakota State scores 18 points, you would earn 252 points.)
4. "First Four"/play-in round games do not count towards the players point total.
5. Deadline is tip-off of the first games on Thursday.
6. There's a multiplier to each round the player scores points in.

So the 1st round (of 64) is just x1, each round after adds a x1 so:
Round of 32: x2
Sweet 16: x3
Elite 8: x4
Final 4: x5
Championship: x6

So if you have a guy who is a 1 seed who scores 20 points in the sweet 16, it'd be worth 60 points. If he's was on a 2-seed team that'd be 120 points and so forth.
If you pick this year's VCU and manage to get them to the Final Four? Jackpot.
a 18 point game from a 3-seed in the Elite 8 is worth 216 points (18 x 3 x 4) which will make up a lot of ground from the guy who scored 288 points for his 16-seed who had a guy scoring 18 points in their one-and-done game.

There is no draft, you just pick a roster of 10 players that you want. Make any changes you want up through the deadline, any edits after that will not be counted.

Have at it.

top score I had this year was 6819, bhlloy had the 5th highest and I ended up 8th out of 69 lineups.

Bryce Brown was a difference maker.

Thanks as always for running this, probably my favorite annual "competition" we have around here.

[bhlloy]

Seconded - thanks for running. Ethan Happ tanked my team pretty badly, and needed Zion to go an extra round.
