I could start before, but would only feel comfortable with like 10 selections before seeing the brackets.

So, are we definitely doing $40 buy-in for this as well? If so, I'll get all the payouts and credit those who I owe.

Maybe a round or two, but yeah. With that said, it can't hurt to be ready to start Sunday afternoon. I have a feeling most of us will be around Sunday anyway. Lets at least get the roster and the draft order set.

Just take $40 out of mine as well. Think it will be $185 unless my team chokes on applesauce.

I don't want to draft until after we see the brackets. Too much could be riding on a team being placed as a 4/5 in Kentucky's region.

If you'll be the one collecting money again, I'll just send you another $15 and you can keep my MVP $25.

Exactly. If I am like a top 5 pick, I likely am taking a player from a 1/2 seed. But, after that, its strategy, and I wouldnt feel comfortable picking someone who I think can play in 3 games, and then the committee shits on them and they end up a 6 seed and play Valparaiso or something lol.

With Mirg in we are now up to 13 people. Do we want to try and get Rec in this year to make it an even 14? I mean We could just have Azu hold his winnings from the fantasy league and force him into it haha... If not I could at least generate a draft order. I was planning on putting us in a numbered order of how we finished last year and then adding Goon and lhs as number 12 and 13.

Also Azu I'll send you $30. Keep my $10 from winning 2 weeks in the regular season fantasy league. Also I'll send it to you in 3-5 days since accroding to paypal that's how long it will take to get from my bank to my paypal account lol.

We can ask, but, it isnt imperative to get an even number...its just more money to spread out to winners lol.

Id like to put a deadline on joining, sometime this evening and get the order set so I can do some research tomorrow as I wont have much time Sat/Sun.

Is everyone ok with that? Even at 13, thats $520. I dont remember what we did last year in terms of payouts, but $520 has to be more.

I believe we pay out 1st Place, 2nd Place, High Player Total, and High Player Game? If it's $520 I say something like:

$280 - 1st Place
$120 - 2nd Place
$60 - High Player Total
$60 - High Player Game

Haha yeah I'm pretty sure hes not going to every year we try and talk him into it and he declines lol. Last year we only had $300 bucks to payout. 12 people at $25. So we will have $220 more in the pot if we stay at 13 people.

How about at 7pm tonight (6pm for me since I'm central time lol). I'll create a draft order and post it on here. I also would like to get the draft order set since I have to go visit a plant this weekend and won't have a lot of time to do research.

Agreed, except maybe add 3rd place gets $50? So,

1st - $270
2nd - $100
3rd - $50
HGT - $50
HPT - $50

If we get a 14th player, obviously just add 10 back to everything but 3rd...
