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.

I would play if you absolutely need a 4th, but only under the provision that if I win, the 2nd place person would pick the avatar for the 4th place person, & if I was 4th, the 3rd place person would get the avatar

Better if pwns does it, though...

IBD, can you randomize a draft order?

(I can't do much drafting until later tonight, but I'll be on and off before then)

Could just do the draft here if IBD doesn't mind. Either way is fine with me.

Thanks IBD.

First, a list -

1 seeds: linesguy/ILoveMyBrick/D1iab/SirRawr
2 seeds: accobra/Carl/Bankertin/rtspurs
3 seeds: eyebooger/pwns/derwi/biggerboat
4 seeds: Gamer Dude/fmxda/marknfw/JMurder3
5 seeds: filthy/akson/kcaw/Steve Y Fan
6 seeds: RollWave/xander/ArcticKnight/housenuts
7 seeds: Fabian (or aaronk56)/Treep/DukeSucks/KrazyKris
8 seeds: Booker/sixfour/Stuck/Kristy

You're drafting the person, not the spot on the tournament, so if that person no shows a game, too bad.

EDIT: Except Fabian and aaronk56.

FYI, if Fabian doesn't play in the round of 32, aaronk56 will take his spot among the 7 seeds.
