2014 NCAA Tournament Player Pick-'Em (Rules/Draft Thread)

  • Laley23
    I like this:

    200 -1st
    50 - 2nd
    25 - Highest Overall Player (For this though, I am sticking with only getting one game if the play-in player ends up with the most)
    25 - Highest Overall Game

    Don't care what the payout structure is, just have it finalized by 6.
    I dont like it for same teams because frankly, if you think Duke is gonna make the title game, you should be able to take 4 players from that team if you wanted.

    I didnt hate the seeded player idea, but its just not plausible since we dont now how many rounds we are going to be going.

    Sounds good to me.

    Higher player means what it is. Highest player. If a play-in team makes the Final Four and that person gets 6 games, so be it...rank the play-in guys HIGHER.

    I agree with this. Highest player could be a play-in guy. Probably not likely but could happen so I think the play-in game counts just like any other game.

    So 200-50-25-25? Seems like quite a few of us are fine with that. Takes what we've been doing and adds 2 simple additional contests.

    ok, thats fair.

    We should also make the stipulation like we had last year. If you pick a play-in guy before their play-in game starts you get them.

    However, the winners are still eligible, but you wont get their play-in game points. But if they win the 12-5 game, you can still get 2 games out of them.

    Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't get this.

    The drafting needs to be finished by Tuesday before the first game.

    Basically, if you want a play-in player AND the play-in game to count, you have to draft them before Tuesday/Wednesday of their tip-time.

    But, if a team wins and you want their player, they are still eligible, you just dont get the points from the play-in game. You will only get them for RD1 and subsequent RDs should they advance.

    There is no way we will get 6 RDs done before Tuesdays first game.

    Nah it's how we did it last year. We drafted till I think Thursday Morning last year.

    It's basically if you want a playin guy draft him before he plays.

    I agree with Laley, that was a good rule and needs to continue. There's no chance we get 8 rounds or however many done by the time the games start Tuesday and since there's only 2 games that will really matter for that(unless somebody picks a 16 seed player) it makes sense.

    Basically if Xavier plays in the first 4 on Tuesday and Semaj Christon goes off for 25 you can't take him later that night or Wednesday and have his points for that game count. You could still take him just his points would start in their next game.

    We ready to start this thing in about an hour? BTW, we should have a new thread for the DRAFT ONLY.
  • Mulva
    I'll be ready to turn in my selection 30 seconds after I see the bracket. There's only 3 guys I'm considering.
  • Iliketurtles
    Did S&L's friend ever show up? Or are we just rolling with 11?
  • wildcats20
    I made a draft thread if a mod, Laley, wants to sticky it.

    He said he's in. I'll call him now
  • Terry_Tate
    I'll be home by 7 and will be available to make my picks all night. Not sure how available everyone else will be but I should be ready by the time my first pick comes up.
  • sportchampps
    Did you already make the draft order. I'm home earlier then I thought and my schedule for the week would allow me to draft pretty much all the time. If you have already made the order that's cool.

    Let's knock out some rounds tonight
  • Laley23
    Draft thread is stickied. Draft there, talk here.
  • Mulva
    ULL and Baylor for Creighton. Fuck.
  • Laley23
    Im creating a pretty in-depth spreadsheet on google drive. I can share it with anyone who wants it when Im done and you can fill in your own teams points. The only thing you should have to change is the points for the given round and if they are in or out. Everything else should automatically update.

    Probably wont be done until late late tonight though.
  • Iliketurtles
    Is Mirg on? I think I've seen everyone post but him haha.
  • Laley23
    He just texted me back. Of course he wasnt at home. Tried to take McDermott...probably gonna be 20 minutes. After that we should get rolling.
