What will the payouts be then?

I gotta find what we did. But we can also just vote on them.

Yeah let’s cap it at 12 rounds. I suggest we shoot for a three hour window. With a 1 hour grace period the first time your over an hour.

We had 12 two years ago. I just opened up my excel. It’s a good number, but if we fall short, 10 works well also.

Have $550 to work with. Assuming we go 3rd is $50 for money back that is $500 for the following:

• Winner
• 2nd
• Top Scorer
• Top Average
• Top Game

I’m also not opposed to dropping top average, and dolling out $75 to scorer and game so it’s more worthwhile than just money back like in past.

Something like:

• 1st Place $250
• 2nd Place $100
• 3rd Place $50
• Top Scorer (Total) $75
• Top Scorer (Game) $75

Top average was a mininium of games played, right?

Yeah, 3 games. Which is kinda why I think it should go. Have to advance 3 rounds, but then if they go further average typically drops. I dunno, it was good in theory, but not the best.

Also I know one year I drafted the dude and then they announced he was out of the tournament. You guys let me pick last in the round we were In The middle of when it was announced. I think that’s a fair way to do it.

Agree

If everyone wants to start Venmoing me $50 ($60 for Birddog lol) we can make sure everyone is paid before Sunday. 

So, what're we doing for payments? 

And do you have PayPal too Laley?

No one really voted. So I’m planning on this:

• 1st Place $250
• 2nd Place $100
• 3rd Place $50
• Top Scorer (Total) $75
• Top Scorer (Game) $75

And yes, same name on PayPal as Venmo, with the Flat World Champions avatar. If you need the name, DM or text me.

Sweet. I sent $30 from both my PayPal and Venmo  

Is anyone else going in blind, or is everyone doing research? I’ve watched about 12 UK games and maybe 8 random games with ranked teams this year.

I’ll get a good look at Michigan, OSU, Iowa and Illinois. That’s it. Maybe try and catch the title games tonight lol

Excited to do this again, and don't think I could name more than 5 players that aren't on Ohio State's roster.

I’ll get the draft thread going. I’ll also be driving back to Chicago from Indy after the Big Ten Title game ends, so right as the selection show starts. Someone just shoot me a text and I’ll pull over to make my pick.

What time does the selection show start?

6. Brackets should be fully revealed by 6:30

Haven’t we typically gotten 4-5 rounds done tonight in the past?

I dont think that many. But this group has typically gotten through 6 rounds by Tuesday morning. Its the last few rounds when players arent as known and trying to pick the upsets with your player that takes us longer. The play-ins are all on Thursday and Round 1 isnt until Friday. So, getting 10-12 rounds in should be easy.

Are we just going to treat any players from a team that pulls out on Tuesday for Covid as like an injured player where people can select at the end of that round to replace them.
