FOURTH annual themat.com Memorial/ Intermat Invitational NCAA Fantasy wrestling league!

[VakAttack]

Unbelievable, gents.  We've made it to our FOURTH year of doing this.  This will be our official thread as we start to put together the league.  My plan for right now is we will be having a $25 entry fee.  We will pay out as follows, team trophies like NCAAs so the top 4 get paid something.  We cap the league at 15 players as always.

 

The entry fees should total $375 ($25 x 15 players).

1st Place:  $200

2nd Place:  $100

3rd Place:  $50

4th Place:  $25 (money back)

My policy this year remains the same as last year:  Prior year entrants have first dibs, but if I don't hear from you by a certain time (TBD) before the Draft (TBD also but has to be done by Tuesday night before NCAAs, because I fly out Wednesday morning) we will go to the wait list.  Also, if you don't pay by that same time given to prior entrants, you lose your spot unless you get it paid before it's filled by someone off the wait list.

The draft will be held using these forums and a Zoom call (Zoom was fun last year for those that joined!) to try to make it go as fast as possible.  I'll hammer out the draft details in a later post.  The rules remain the same:  you draft one person per weight class, plus you get one "Wild Card" which can be any weight.  The Draft will be snake style.

 

HERE IS OUR CURRENT WAIT LIST, WHICH WILL BE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE

Wouldn't miss this for the world.

But be warned, I absolutely have bad intentions this year.

I might even prepare prior to the draft.

Not going to lie to you guys, if lu_alum doesn't show up, the scoring will be slower in prior years.  Right now I'm thinking about Sunday, March 16 as the draft date.

Not much work involved. Pay the entry fee, show up for the draft, and I do the rest.

The hardest part of the whole thing is determining a draft time that is agreeable for 15 people.

Sunday sounds good for the draft.

I'm actually going to be in Mexico that weekend, so I think I have to bow out. 

Not sure about WiFi on the beach, unfortunately.
