2016 Top Gun sign-up thread

britrock88 · 03-04-2016, 03:34 PM

It's about that time... (I realized, while watching Big South quarterfinals at my desk)

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.
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.

In if room.

britrock88 · 03-13-2016, 03:56 PM

Always! There's no need for even numbers--one game can run with X and the other with X+1.

Couple hours left if anyone's on the fence! As long as you can rank ~60 guys and get them picked before tip-off on Thursday, you'll be set!

stevew · 03-13-2016, 06:25 PM

I'd join if you want an even number. I need something to get me invested into this tourney

britrock88 · 03-13-2016, 06:42 PM

Vince, Pt. II · 03-13-2017, 12:33 PM

Logan · 03-13-2017, 12:50 PM

I was also sad to not see this pop up by this morning.

britrock hasn't been here since mid December. Hope all is well with him. I'll shoot him a PM...maybe he has PM notifications on and we can get him to check in.

britrock88 · 03-13-2017, 01:49 PM

Okay, shit, let's do this. Gonna want a volunteer to step up for 2018, though, given my drifting...
