Scattergories, Season 19

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 5th round (or possibly 4th) 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

Welcome back, gerry & Midge!

I’ll play!

We're not quite full yet but you can submit your 1st round ballot at any time. Also, if you want to reserve the right to amend your ballot, send me a note requesting that I NOT reply with my own ballot. Once I've sent you my ballot, you won't be able to change yours. This goes for the first three owners who submit ballots in each round. If you are not one of the first three, you can still request to see my ballot and I will send it to you. Good luck!

I will try this format if you still have room.

ill play

As much as I cannot stand the random luck of this format, I have an addiction. So I will play.

ah but it is like opening gifts on christmas do i get the shiny new bike or did i end up with thrift shop goods (useable just not as much fun). besides it is always fun to see how people make their choices. with the amount of players available in the data base there are many options for your team build.
