If anyone wants to run a pool on Challonge again, that'd be super cool.

I also just realized that neither of the Top 2 from last year entered this year (and one of them ran the Challonge pool last year).

ETA: WAIT A MINUTE. Spurs entered and was below the red line?

I think saying spurs didn't enter is kind of harsh...

Yeah, I just noticed that. I didn't even look below the red line because I never thought it'd be possible. Why, spurs? Whyyyyyy????

What is This?

This is a place where you and 3 other people come together to draft the Sheep Madness Bracket one team at a time. Each of the 4 players will end up with 8 teams each.

How does it work?

You get 4 people together to agree on a buyin, a time to draft, and the draft order is randomized. The format is a standard snake draft, ABCDDBCA... Once one player drafts a team, they are prevented from drafting another team from that same seed line. So if the first team takes RollWave with their first pick, they are unable to draft ArcticKnight with their second pick. At the end, each of the 4 players has a squad of 16 teams, one from each seed. Once the 3rd team from a seed line is drafted, the 4th team is automatically assigned to the player missing a team from that seed line, they are not forced to burn a draft pick to take that team.

Scoring is typically 1 point per win by each of your teams.

1st place in this chooses the avatar for 4th place for the remainder of April, with any ties broken by the individual performance of the draft team owner in the finals.

Aesthetically, top left is my favorite quarter of the bracket. I'm pleased.

should we just draft in thread whenever we're ready? I mean there's no rush so long as it all gets decided before the reveal of the first round

I won't be around for a big chunk of time, but one where we pick every so often will be fine.
