Arfy, this has been a LOT of fun, and I really like this challenge, but if I could make a suggestion...

This is like the perfect challenge for doing a draft of the teams.  As it is, we're all going to overlap a lot of the teams.  I bet 75-100 teams will get thrown out by duplication.  If we did a draft (serpentine, draw for spots, team 1 picks a team, then team 2...all the way through 8 and then reverse order), we could have all the top teams in the tournament.

Again, I think this challenge is a great idea and will be awesome to see the results.  Just wanted to put my two cents in.
Yes.

Seems like many people want a draft.  Every team has one vote in if they want a draft or not.  Please send me a sitemail.  YES for draft or NO for draft.  Include your team name.  You have until Tuesday 5/15 7pm EST.  I require 5 of the 8 teams to say YES in order to do a draft.

If I do a draft, I will just have everyone send me a list of 10 teams they want.  It will be in random order.  We would draft 1-8 in the first round, and 8-1 in the second round.  Then 1-8 in the third round and so on.   Send me your votes now!

EDIT:  I would just go down your list and pick the top team available.

Arfy, I think we should all have to send you WAY more than just 10 teams. Any given team's top 10 COULD potentially be gone by the 2nd round.

Alright, sounds like we do a draft.  Send me your top 20 teams then.  After I receive all of your lists, I'll begin the draft.

It appears so.  I know at one time you were able to select older teams.  I'm not quite sure why you can't now.

Should be based on where we finished in the last challenge.

We vote for random order.  If we knew that  our place of finish would have an effect on the next challenge, we may have chosen differently.
However, we think it is OK for the winner of the last challenge to get the benefit of  the first pick.
