so how exactly is this draft working? is there gonna be a list of the players available or do i need to keep track of that and are we doing it on this thread?

Yeah, for the most part you should keep track, but we'll post the remaining players list from time to time.

We'll use a new thread for it.

Pistons/Primo/cheese have escrowed

When is 500 snake draft? Also for 1k random I prefer flat structure and im sure nemo/pistons are fine w/4 ppl

11pm i think

how we doin the random? Mers gunna post who we get or we doin some kind of webcam/hat kinda thing.

Sorry for bad formatting, 2p2 doesn't do well with copy/paste from Excel.

Thanks to ITRIED for keeping track of all that.

One spot left in the $100 random. The procedure there: I'll send ChicagoRy a PM with some randomization details, for example, "I get first 4 names, Mattraq gets next 4 names, etc". Nobody else will be privy to that information. Meanwhile, I'll ask someone in this group to randomize the list of 64 names via random.org/lists. They'll post that randomization, then I'll reveal the randomization key (ChicagoRy will confirm), and you'll match your numbers with the numbers in the list posted.

In other words, we are drawing out of a very fair and random hat

someone pick the 1k random, I wanna know!

You're welcome, also thanks to Krab for props. I'll volunteer to do the random list on random.org for $100 pool.

if there is still a spot left in the hundo random i'm in! plz confirm if i'm in and i ship.

We're all set to go here. Here's the randomization process:

1. I PM ChicagoRy a randomization "key" (more on this in a second).
2. Someone in the pool randomizes the list of 64 names
3. I post a screenshot of my PM which says how to assign the randomized list of 64 names to each participant. For example, if my PM says "mersenneary gets the first 4 names", then I get the first 4 names that came up on the random.org list.

I'm PMing ChicagoRy now.

im prolly getting don cheold, jason alexander, and emmit smith

Before we do this, I should clarify payouts. Since there was no agreement to change them, we default to the traditional structure, which is:

$40 back for every player who makes the top 8 or farther
$80 back for every player who makes the top 4 or farther
$240 back for getting to the finals
$480 for winning the finals

So just getting the champion and the rest total stinkers nets $40+$80+$240+$480 = $840 back.

480+480+320+320 = $1600. Ok, that's more like it

Is trading allowed or outlawed?

Not saying that I would want to trade but just want to know the policy on this.

I've sent the randomization key to ChicagoRy. What I need now is someone IN THIS POOL to go to random.org/lists and input the following list, then post it, including time stamp.

Thanks rmoriar. Here's the (second part of the) randomization method:

Put the following list in alphebetical order:

mersenneary
mizzle
nicecatch08
Kierk1
bmwatts
Mattraq1
KarlizL
ITRIED2WARNU
rumnchess
mc4chess
jayluf
eric79
PrimordialAA
rmoriar1
cheese danish
Chipleader

The first person on the alphabetized list gets random.org generated #1, #17, #33, and #49. The second person on the alphabetized list gets random.org generated #2, #18, #34, and #50. The third person on the alphabetized list gets random.org generated #3, #19, #35, and #51. This continues until the last person on the alphabetized list gets #16, #32, #48, and #64.

Confirmed via this PM (ChiRy will also confirm in thread):

1. bmwatts
2. cheese danish
3. Chipleader
4. eric79
5. ITRIED2WARNU
6. jayluf
