Registration is closed. Thanks to all who have signed up. Tomorrow I will give you the information regarding specific time of draft. It will be done via google online documents where all should be able to see the captains make their decisions live. Tentatively it will take place on Tuesday Feb.9th around 4-6pm est. I'll give the specific time tomorrow evening.

Last year the top points getter was a 1-1.5 BB/100 winner who put up 14 points during the challenge to carry his team to victory. By getting sweats by better teammates at higher limits it can only help you get better. The main purpose of this challenge is to build a better sense of community amongst the micro full ring community. (Never thought about it like this, but $11 or $27.50 is pretty cheap to get some coaching by a 100nler or 200nler on your team.)

very cheap

How do the captains choose their teams? Do they do a PTR scan of all of the players and select by current winrates? Or do they need us to provide further info regarding our win-rates / stats etc.

Really looking forward to this now, looks like a great turn out.

Damn. Just hoping the draft isn't like the dodge ball drafts when I was a kid. And yes, I was the fat kid.

I sense a touch of sarcasm there!

A lot of people (myself included) didn't supply a bb/100...yeah ok you can work it out relatively easily, but a 3 month sample doesn't really give a great picture of a person's long term win rate, especially if it's only a 60k sample. We weren't asked to provide win-rate proof, just volume proof. So all I'm asking is whether the captains are going to use any further info to pick their teams or is it just what has been provided ITT.

My guess is that the captains will have to work with what's provided here.

if you aren't doing your pre draft scope then you're not in it to win it

If there is some PTR scoping going on, won't the captains need to know SN's relating to each 2p2 name?

I am NJD1977 on stars if needed.

OK, I just tallied up the buy ins. other than the unknown amount of money I received from Ricepaw, I have received:

Stars Money: $1082

FTP Money: $1160.50

It would be very helpful if somebody double-checked my math.

PM me if you're interested, first come first served. I will be superbowling today, so may not get back on until tomorrow sometime. (Can we extend entry deadline a bit?)

No takers, so I guess everyone that wants in is in.

Thanks for the interest guys, would have loved to have you in it but registration is closed.

The draft board is up:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...CL-YhuEG#gid=0
When the draft occurs and a captain types in his pick you will see it in live time letter by letter.(assuming that having lots of people on the same page will not slow things down) I have a back up page for captains only if the webpage slows things down too much)

The captains are over to the right of the pool of players. The numbers under the captains indicate the draft order. The order the captains pick has not been set as well as draft time tomorrow. I will update today when I have more info.
As of the moment the draft will probably occur either before 2:30 est or at 7pm est.

looking forward to the draft

[QUOTE=NJD77;24663169]How do the captains choose their teams? Do they do a PTR scan of all of the players and select by current winrates?

I have the same concerns, I mean we want the teams to be as fair as possible so I think the captains need to know some win rates in order to select the teams the best they can.. I am sure some won't have huge samples but I think most will have a large enough sample to at least give an idea... What do you guys think? I guess not everyone posted a BB/100 with their stats...
