I say play it by ear on the rounds. 8 would be best, but if we are short on time just end it when that round ends. Id say go for 8 rounds to start though.

I'll just randomly select the order using some type of random assignment mechanism...I promise I won't cheat :)

and We will begin an hour or so after the brackets are released next Sunday night.

Okay this is how it goes...these are the order of entrants into this tourney based on the order you said you will play:

1) S&L
2) onebuckeye
3) mulva
4) UA5
5) idrain3
6) laley
7) rebel
8) lhslep
9) track
10) karen
11) deydurk
12) sept
13) killer
14) ccrunner
15) Sportswizuhrd
16) Azubuike

I then used a random number generator website (stattrek.com) to put numbers 1-16 in a random order...here are the results:
12 05 16 02 13 07 04 15 11 03 10 08 01 09 14 06

So,

Here is the order we will select:

1) September
2) idrain3s
3) Azubuike
4) Onebuckeye
5) Killerewok
6) Rebel
7) UA5
8) Sportswizuhrd
9) Deydurk
10) Mulva
11) Karen
12) lhslep
13) S&L
14) Trackccrunner
15) ccrunner
16) Laley

We prolly could start this 1st round picking. Matchups wont effect most ppls early round picks. These players are surely going to be on teams that are "locked" in already.

sportsandlady wrote:I thought about that..but you also have to consider seeding for example a team like Ohio State (Turner)...they could end up a 2 seed, where he would probably go top 3...or they could end up a 4 seed and he would go probably top 5.

Also, say someone like Vazquez from Maryland..what if Maryland wins out including the ACC tourney, and they move up to a 4 seed...he would go a lot higher than if we chose right now (where Maryland is probably a 6 seed right now).

So i say we just wait til Sunday night to start it...I do appreciate the suggestions though

It wont be this Sunday then. Sunday March 13th. Sunday night to Thurs at noon isnt alot of time when ur running picks every 6 hrs for 16 ppl. I also know some players could even get injured between now and then. The risks involved in picking now would be the same for everyone.

Haha laley, blame stattrek my man...don't worry, it's not like I chose anything or else I wouldn't be towards the end.

But don't worry, my friends have done this the last 5 years and only once did someone with a top 5 (out of 25) pick win it all.

Also, i have to check to see if it's fantasy football style drafting, where you get the 1st pick then pick last in the 2nd round, etc. or if it's first round every round.

Yeah, I mean in the end its all about if your teams advance and if your late round players make the sweet 16.

Yup..exactly.

Basically the guys who win, just get lucky and take the top 3 scorers from a team who isn't being picked to win it all but is right there.

For example, 2 years ago, dude chose Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Sherron Collins...and I believe had Cole Aldrich, too. Then he had 2 other guys who made the Sweet 16 and were leading scorers or close.

Like obviously you're not gonna get Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, and Xavier Henry all on the same team...but if you can get like say West Virginia's Da'sean Butler, Kevin Jones, and Devin Ebanks..and they can make a run to the Final Four, you're in great shape.

K I guess we can do this like the NFL draft....if you wanna select a player before the 14th, you may do so...but the next person is not entitled to select if he does not want to.
