At the risk of being hated, I politely decline. I've never played before and am not interested this year either. I thoroughly enjoyed the regular-season fantasy league and will play again next year as it really elevated my interest in games I otherwise wouldn't care about, but I'm involved in enough bracket contests at work and with friends as it is and just don't have the desire to play the individual player game. My interest in the tourney between that and real betting is enough for me.

Thanks for the invite.

Ugh I don't know if I should play or not. I have played the last two years and came in last both times which is pretty hard to do.

Depending on the number of people I might play I know last year my work schedule made it hard for me to always make my pick with time to actually do research. If we only had like 10 people I figure we could allow a little more time and really just bust a lot of picks each night.

Lol, I know gamblers always want the biggest pot possible. I thought I had a problem. You guys are like Green-Eyed Monsters lol.

I'm just not interested in putting any effort at all into doing a player game for the tournament. I love the tournament enough as it is and don't have any enthusiasm for additionally following a fantasy team. The regular-season is a league I can get behind, though, since I don't care about half the games. I will do that again.

Weak sauce :) Haha, still can't believe you're not doing it but it's alright.

Where has ILT been? Haven't seen him post since the regular season of the fantasy league. Wasn't sure if he planned on being away awhile or just hasn't been on but figured he would do the Player Pick Em like always.

So far:

Laley
Az
Mulva
Terry
S&L
Sportwizurhd
Wildcats

Ideally we will get 5 more...Thats $300

We can give like $100 to the winner and split the other $200 up really creatively. Just like the Fantasy League, dont get caught up in the "low" amount for the winner as they will likely accumulate a decent amount from the other stuff as well.

If everyone wants the winner to have more, Im ok with that as well. I just was hoping to bring more depth to the "game" this March by having more things to be playing for.

Once it starts, I'll throw in $50. Paying part of Sportswiz winnings. Since he doesn't have Paypal, maybe I can just send you everything? You work with him, correct?

We now have (10) playing and paying, which was the minimum I was hoping for. (12) is ideal, but we can certainly add anyone past (12) who wants to join and pay. But I think we can start the draft right at 6 on Sunday, and we know all these people so far will be online for it, so hopefully we can knock out a good chunk that first night before the priorities of work/life get in the way starting on Monday.

I'm sorry but if you aren't going to pay, then you shouldn't be playing.

Create your own damn thing if you want it no pay.

Niles is in. List of (12) is as follows:

Laley
Az
Mulva
Terry
S&L
Sportwizurhd
Wildcats
Turtles
Killer
Birddog
Big Mirg
NilePacMan

I will PM everyone my PayPal, once everyone has paid, we can get the draft order. Anyone joining after Ive received all payments and order has been established will simply be put into the final draft slot. Spots will close once RD2 has started. That essentially locks us into who we have playing at that point.
