Hey guys, posted this in TZ. Running a last man standing for the NBA. Will begin November 29th. (Incidentally, just 2 games that day)

How does LMS work?
-You pick a team/night. (By PMing me) They must win. If they lose, you are out.
-Once you pick a team, you can no longer pick them again.

That simple! If you do not make a pick, I will automatically give you credit for the first in alphabetical order, according to city. On Nov 29th, the slate is San Antonio vs Miami and Denver vs Golden State, so you would be given Denver.

The payment is 9.5 +.5$, and I can only take paypal. I am taking the rake (as Nutshot made fun of me for including) because it's a pain in the ass to run this. IF someone else wants to take the initiative of running one, more power to you, and I'd happily participate.

My paypal is reckstut@gmail.com. All payment must be received prior to 8:00 EST 11/29. (Right before tip-off of game 1) I will create a spreadsheet and update it daily. Good luck!

Payment sent. Get on it people.

I'm almost positive I'll end up forgetting to pick one of those days.

Bobbo, if you really think the effort required is that onerous I can run it (with no rake). You can still escrow tho.

Not in.

Experience: Ran 3 mishmashes and one 1.5 month game of survivor in lolpog. Coded wwdb.

im def in but can i make a suggestion? starting on 11/29 seems like a huge mistake. its 2 pretty close games linewise so like lets say it goes something like 50% take heat 30% woyas 20% nugz, just seems like theres a decent chance a large % of the pool is eliminated really early. the very next day (11/30) friday, has 11 games which is better and it is also an extra day to allow more people to enter.

GRas has a great point.

I want in.

Def start during a full slate of games

+1, I see an argument coming

Could also only do it on days with 4+ games or w/e

loooool way to hilariously reinforce stereotypes

in

bobbo, will you be playing in this league? and if so won't you have an advantage to see everyone's picks before making your own later on the season?

man bobbo is gonna make like $8 running this

Ok, if you could run it, that's great. Obv running it entails taking all the money. Since, that, well, is an onerous part. Thank you!

I would send mine out before anyone elses to a 3rd party

its more the annoyance tbh.

Krayz says he can run it; I've only received seadood's money, so I'll send his along with mine to Krayz, when he has it set up.

People want to start on a full slate, that's cool. I just thought that eliminating a lot of people early wasn't really an issue, and in fact, makes it more fun when people from the get go have competing games

****Dont send me money ATM since it looks like (hopefully) someone else is running this; if you've sent me money (just seadood so far) I will send the lump sum to whomever is in fact running it****

also, i assume this is winner take all?

i'll join

if someone else runs it, then it's up to them etc.

if they dont, and I do, then yes, it is. (Unless 2 people or whatever just wanna split at a certain point)

Paypal is krayzk9s@gmail.com

If anyone has qualms PM me and I'll send you my personal info. TheDean1 can vouch for me as well.

With PayPal make sure you send as a non fee selection - otherwise you'll be responsible for it.

Winner takes all makes most sense in an LMS game IMO. I'll split as well.

Up to majority vote tho.

I'm not playing either.

WTA is clearly optimal, we're starting friday right krayz?

krayz, I sent you 20$. It's for me and seadood.

Yes and yes.

Will include anyone who PMs me picks and sends their entry before the first game.

Spreadsheet will be updated with people's picks whenever I get a chance after first tipoff. Accordingly you must send in your picks before then for that day. Sending multiple days at once is AOK. I'll only reveal as we go.

Confirmed. Only 2 entries so far.

In, assuming no rake now that krayz is taking over
