If you "Need" to fill it, you can put me on the list.

I don't follow NBA and probably couldn't name more than 9-10 players through out the league

We can go about this a couple ways.


Posting rules: All plays will be submitted through a google form to be set up for that purpose.

1) Enter your picks and have them fully visable throughout the contest and being penalized for duplicating his opponent's plays. (Duplicates graded a Push if outcome is a Win, a Loss remaining a Loss).

OR..

2) All plays would be hidden until after the deadline with obviously no infraction incurred should there be similar plays between the two opponents. I am recommending a 7pm ET deadline but this is up for debate. My plan would be to release the picks at the 7pm deadline and copy those plays to a post in the thread. Once the final game of the night has tipped off, I would post lines for the following day and reset the spreadsheet to hide subsequent picks for the next day.

Ok I threw this out there to see if there was a preference. I kinda like option 2. One drawback here is that I may not always be around at 7pm to release the picks on time but I don't see that as a big problem. The plays will always be posted to the forum later that night so they WILL be visible eventually. Also eliminates me having to check for duplicate plays which is a PITA to be honest.

Since we have a full roster, we will expedite things and set up the blind draw ASAP. Video will be posted here.

Full set of rules is forthcoming along with the Form to make selections.

Should be a good one.

Good luck!

The draw was conducted at 9pm EST. The official atomic timeclock is visible along side the generator to hopefully prove there was no editing.

The roster was listed in the random generator in the order of signups. The shuffle button was pressed 16 times and the final outcome listed top to bottom will be the opening matchups.
