A tie?! The stress!! Goes to a countback?

What's count back? I'm confused what happens now? Should have the option to do 1 more week. Bloody close I thought moo had it when it was tied with a few mins left in the last game. But Lopez couldn't get another rebound. Aiyah as close as they get.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Our settings state... Best regular season record vs opponent wins

i couldn't handle another week!

 

[deeman87]

So who won?

 

[Moo]

So who won?

Bugsy wins by way of better season record.

I'm absolutely happy to say well done, it was insane and whoever lost was going to be unlucky. However that is fantasy sports.

Can I just say how much I appreciate being in a league where people care and don't give up, going along with the friendly vibe that goes with it.

Deeman - thanks for your efforts too bro.

Lastly - Worthy winner Bugs and I'll be back next year to try and go one better.

 

[deeman87]

Cool, well congrats Bugsy, Templars finally got their ring after trying for many years. Unlucky to Moo, as close as could be. Reminds me of mine and Bugsy final a couple yrs ago where i won on the last shot of the season. Good season guys GG

 

[Tony Richo]

Epic final Guys - well done both! Congrats Bugsy on getting that elusive title - come a long way since the days of the internationals only. Agree with Moo, this is a great league to be a part of, and I can definitely say having competed against them in other leagues, the two new managers will make it even better and more competitive again. Pick 1.1 FUBAR INC. select Cooper Flagg - let's get this rebuild moving!!

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Thanks guys, gotta admit I felt about due for some luck to go my way. Although Moo you deserve some too.
That has gotta be the closest matchup ever, great fun, and like Moo said I wouldn't have minded if it swung the other way.
Great active league with some awesome Managers.

 

[Moo]

I wouldn't have minded if it swung the other way.

Excellent….I’ll take it.

Deeman….that’s Moo with an exclamation mark for the trophy engraving

No I meant the h2h one where i had wemby. Didn't read his post properly.

Yeah man, that old h2h league was running for quite a while. Hated to see it fold up. You had a good young roster for sure.

 

[Gamewell]

I think well do a mini draft with the two teams as one is considerably better than the other.

Yeah, this probably makes the most sense.

 

[Rosey4Boston]

Hey folks! The Baked Potatums gladly accepts the league invite. I am also bummed that other dynasty league didn’t pan out. I loved my team there. Anyway, count me in!

Welcome bud. Good to have you on board.

 

[Gamewell]

How should we go about making this mini draft happen? Do we have a list of the eligible players and picks?

Nice list..

I’d be down to get rolling on it now so that we can potentially make some moves ahead of the draft. Would that happen in this thread? Pick order and draft type with just the two of us? Maybe still some kind of snake fashion to make it more fair to the person picking second?

Sure, yeh just use this thread do you think we need to use a snake draft i wouldve thought just taking it in turns is fine with 2 people? Whichever order you guys prefer is fine. Just need Rosey4Boston back in here.

 

[Gamewell]

I was thinking maybe something like second round reversing like the white chocolate draft we did to even things out for the team that doesn’t pick first. Either way, really. We’d just have to figure out how to draw first pick.

Team 1
Team 2
Team 2
Team 1
Team 2
Team 1
Etc…

With two teams doesn't it end up as
Team 1
Team 2
Team 2
Team 1
Team 1
Team 2
Team 2
Etc. ?

With only two teams, I think we avoid the double picks and just alternate. I was just tossing the reversal out there to make it a little more appealing to the guy who doesn’t pick first, but I’m not super picky either way. Do we have a way to randomly draw for the first pick?

Yeh I agree that we just take it in turns, I think this is the one situation where a snake isn't necessary here. I'll let a random number generator choose who goes first later today when I get home.

 

[deeman87]

Sadly for you Gamewell you have lost the coin flip and Rosey4Boston will pick first. You guys can start whenever you like. I will copy the player list onto post 1 to make it easy to find. Very curious who goes pick 1 here as there's at least 3 or 4 good options. Have fun drafting guys.

 

[Gamewell]

Word. It’s a deep group. I hit Rosey up and we should get rolling soon.

 

[Rosey4Boston]

In a surprise to no one, the Baked PoTatums will take Jayson Tatum at #1. You're up, Gamewell
