Also, not sure I'm grasping what the extra $20 entry gets you. First $20 for charity and if you want an option for winnings that's the additional $20?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-16, 13:12

That's correct steve-o. First $20 goes to charity. Second $20 is obviously optional, but it's like playing a NCAA bracket challenge for $20. Winner take all, no payout table.

So obviously I'm not involved but had an idea that it would be way more interesting to set up the draft and tournament with the classic teams on the game

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-18, 14:56

That is actually an excellent idea, would be far more competitive. Thoughts from the participants?

There are a number of classic/Championship teams from the 60s through present day.

by **Motown Spartan** 2020-05-18, 14:58

how are we determining draft order? random lottery?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-18, 14:59

Yes random draw.

I vote present teams so it becomes something we do annually. Also, in the event there are no playoffs and season is canceled, tSwill will have crowned a champion. If we use classic teams, who will send tSwill trophy to?

by **Cameron** 2020-05-18, 16:15

I vote present teams for this one. If it's fun and we like doing it, we could do another one with classic teams later.

I’m back wbh but can’t walk after that many miles. I’ll text you tomorrow

by **steveschneider** 2020-05-18, 21:18

I think it's an awesome idea but I kind of am just geared towards present teams for this go around. If this one is a hit maybe we could try adding the classic teams for the next tournament.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2020-05-18, 21:25

+1 present

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2020-05-18, 21:26

Wbh you have two deadlines in your post. Let’s do the draft Thursday

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-18, 22:07

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah edited. I say we start the draft Wednesday morning. May take a few days to work its way through. Once we hit the deadline we can do the random draw for seeds and go from there. At this point I'm leaning 2 teams each just to prolong the thing a little bit and give those towards the end of the draw a shot with the snake draft.

BTW should have specified but probably obvious - higher seed gets home court.

Hard no

by WCSparty 2020-05-18, 23:23

I don’t care either way....
just need to let the $$$ ride

Let’s fucking go

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-18, 23:26

The classic teams proposal has been soundly defeated.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-19, 12:10

Cut off for entry is 9 AM tomorrow. We currently have 12 entrants.

After 9 AM, we can use this site to draw seeds. Seems pretty straightforward, I just ran it. I can share a 'ticket' so you call can check it.

https://www.randomresult.com/tournament.php

After that, we can start the draft. Do you guys want to do it in this thread or on the discord link?

Snake draft based on seeds, 2 teams each. I can put a bracket together after. Might need to have a couple of play in games with the lowest seeds depending on number of entrants

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-19, 12:11

Wbh can you post the team ratings list again or where was that

by **DWags** 2020-05-20, 10:15

So, lets say Wake picks the bucks, It seems the logical choice would be the Lakers, but now, I have to think KD is on the Nets and full strength? No injuries, so that might have put a different thought into who I pick. I'm I following this? Every team, full strenths, no sprains, no strains, no virus.

Wow no loyalty! I’m not buying your bluff

by **DWags** 2020-05-20, 10:17

Well fuck it then, Bucks. I was thinking the Nets could be intriguing over the Lakers, but if Wakes left the Bucks out. I'm all in on the Bucks.

ooooooooooooppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaa

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2020-05-20, 10:22

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but FWIW, this is sortable. Looks like a composite of top 8 players for overall ranking. I know that in the 2K20 players only tournament the top 2 teams selected by the players by far were LAL and MIL.
