Scattergories, Season 25

Scattergories is a "blind draft" league in which teams are built with owners submitting lists like the table-top party game "Scattergories."

In Round 1, all owners submit a list of 12 players.

• Any player submitted by only one owner becomes part of that owner's team, exclusively.
• Any player submitted by two or more owners is eliminated from the player pool.

In Round 2, each owner submits a list of players equal in number to his remaining roster spots.

• For example, if you submitted 4 unique player names and 8 duplicates in Round 1, you would make an 8-player list in Round 2.
• If you have 9 players after Round 2, you would submit a list of 3 players in Round 3, etc.

This process repeats until all 12-man rosters are completed! (It normally takes 5-7 rounds)

Rules

• Owners may submit their Round 1 ballots via sitemail to beloud as soon as they're ready.
• I have my Round 1 ballot ready, and I will reply with my ballot to the first 3 submissions each round so you can verify that everything is on the "up and up." (I will also reply with my ballot to any owner who requests) Please title the subject of your smail "Round 1 Ballot, 1st Rd Ballot" or something similar.
• Beginning Round 2, owners will have a maximum of 72 hours to submit their ballots. I will be strictly enforcing this rule. Holidays, weekends, etc. will not be excuses.
• We will switch to a 48-hour time limit to submit ballots once we get to the 4th round (or possibly 3rd) depending on how the draft goes.

Please submit your lists in the following format: (Firstname Lastname)

Patrick Ewing
Dikembe Mutombo
Alonzo Mourning
Allen Iverson
Othella Harrington
Greg Monroe
DeJuan Summers
Hollis Thompson
Reggie Williams
David Wingate
... etc.

• Make sure your spellings are correct.
• Do not include the player's position or additional info.
• Do not include commas or use bullet points
• Do not use last name only or "last name first" format or use nicknames, etc.
• You do not have to include the player's season. You decide which season to use when you build your team.
• No salary cap, no clones

Okay, haven't done this one in ages. I'm in.

I'd like to join this league.

If it helps fill and everyone thinks it’s ok,

I’ll take a dummy team as my 2nd team.

meaning that it would not participate in the player lists, but it would be assembled using leftover unused players at the very end of the scattergories process.

Problem with that chewy is that now you have 23 ballots as opposed to 24. Might not seem like a big deal, but how many times are there super stars that get picked 2 times? The answer would be a lot. Good idea, but I'm not sure it would work.

will give this another go.

Congrats, gerryred!

POT LUCK are your Season 24 champions! Led by the backcourt of SGA and Dana Barros, POT LUCK came back from a 3-2 deficit to take the crown by winning both Game 6 & 7 on the road.

A fun draft. I'll try it again.

Almost missed out!
