hear me out. i've got a random way we can determine the draft order. the DJIA is about to close in 2 hours. we can assign each of us a number in the closing number starting with the hundredths place.

for example, we can say i get the hundredths place, lfc gets the tenths place, redd gets the singles place, and pwn gets the tens place. if a number duplicates then we look at the next number to the left.

for example, the closing number last Friday was 32,944.19. in this example, lfc would go first (has the '1'), pwn would go second (has the '2' because the second '4' and second '9' are duplicates of the '4' and '9' to the right), redd would go third (has the '4'), and i would go last (have the '9').

let me know if this works for setting the draft order.

i can draft itt snail form like i've seen y'all do in the past, or i'm open to coming up with a time and doing it via an online resource.

lastly, to clarify, this will be the tiebreaker right?

All of that is fine with me, but I'll be at work tonight so being on Skype or discord wouldn't speed things up tonight. I could draft tomorrow before work however in a Skype or discord if you guys prefer that over it.

ok, once the DJIA closes in less than 2 hours, i'll post the closing number and also the draft order based on what i outlined in post #7.

since it is only Monday, i think we'll probably be fine just do it itt snail style right?

oh and forgot i have a question. i know that the first four games don't count, but how do we handle picking for example Rutgers v N.D.? does the person just draft one of those teams and they auto have the winner going forward?

You draft both Rutgers/ND as one pick, winner of that game becomes your pick for the next round.

Let's just do it here and start asap imo. Trying to nail down when everyone was free to do a Skype draft always took longer.

Fine with whatever rand method.

Tiebreaker looks fine. I guess if neither then they just chop.

Also fine with no escrow

agree. start soon and do it all itt.

the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closing total is in 40 minutes. i'll be posting that number and the draft order in less then an hour.

i'm fine with no escrow too. y'all have been doing this with no issues and i have years of good business practices on 2+2.

+1

That's how we've done it every other year. There's only 4 of us so as long as we all commit to checking this thread regularly over the next couple days we are fine. I don't really care about the draft order either as I don't think there's a real edge to be had this year. It's amazing how often the last picked team of each seed is the one that goes the furthest.

Is everyone particpating in the US? Paypal work? If outside US need to determine now who pays fees

Remind me how this works again lol. It's just most total wins right?

Either way I'll start us off with my first pick:

GONZAGA (1)

If you guys remember, try to add your seed along with your pick like everyone's done so far. Easier for tracking purposes.
