Copied from old thread:

Wanted to do a typical 6 man NCAA Tourney draft with the twist being we draft before the season starts. Snake draft 16 teams (changed to 17 in 2020) each and was hoping to draft this when we are all available...this is $100 pool (or $200) and we pay winner at end of tournament.

Scoring is 1 point for every team that makes the NCAA Tourney and 1 point for every win in the tourney (Champion therefore worth 7 points). First 4 game losers do not earn any points. There will be no limitations regarding conferences meaning you can choose all power conference squads if you want or sprinkle in some mid-majors/small conference teams. Tiebreaker #1 being who selects the most teams that make the tourney with tiebreaker #2 being who drafts the team that advances farthest. Tiebreaker #3 if it looks like it will be needed will be Total points scored in the 2 Final 4 games combined when they roll around.

[KJ]

Challenge from the bench on GW for picking out of turn (and abusive language to animals!)

Shouldn't the first pick of round 4 go to P2W? Can't see in your format above how GW would get a 4th pick before anyone else has their 3rd one.

Should be Doc's 3rd pick

Ah yeah that's right.

The 2nd and 3rd round confused me.

 

[B.A.R.]

Okay, we gotta backtrack then, right?

 

[KJ]

Okay, we gotta backtrack then, right?

Just the extra pick from GW

Then it goes to @Timh

 

[GWarner27]

hold on if i don't get 2 picks b2b here then it's just a normal snake draft

 

[GWarner27]

nvm i'll take Oregon since it shouldn't be my pick it would be 1st again if it were a snake draft

@Timh

 

[Play2win]

hold on if i don't get 2 picks b2b here then it's just a normal snake draft

U made rules on 3rd round, I didn’t get my 2 picks, it went to you for one pick
