The first 3 numbers drawn from your time slot is your score. The lowest score gets #1 and so on. Ties will be broken by whoever has the lower 4th number drawn.

Hey Ben, just to make sure, are we drafting a person and getting to use any season or are we drafting a player/year combo?

We are drafting a person and you get to choose which season to use.

I am just going to list the first tie breaker. If needed, I will go back and include the second tiebreaker.

At this point, the only way someone can get better is to also get a six total and then get a 4 or 5 as your tie breaker number.

Wow.

It's pretty crazy that the 4th number has been 13 three times in a row.

Lowest number goes first, second lowest goes next, etc. If you don't like where you are you can trade all 7 of your picks for all 7 of someone else's picks.

I want to know what PBandJ did to **** off the New York Lottery.

A quick check looks like:

1) benhoidal - 6 (6)
2) Sephy13 - 8 (10)
3) jhsukow - 10 (6)
4) alibiband0 - 11 (9)
5) uptowngbv - 12 (9)

Ben will post the official draft order and we can get this going. Thanks to everyone who signed up.

LeBron James

If anyone wants to try the picks close to the turn let me know.
