Would be 1 week matches.....(amount of games to be determined)

week 1 would be round robin (for seedings)

week 2 the H2H matches begin.....seeding/byes depend on entrants
8 entrants = 1-8 seed only
9 = 1 bye
10 = 2 bye
15 = 7 byes
16 = 1-16 seeds
31= 15 byes
etc. (doubt we get anywhere near 31)

Assuming we have 16-31 players, schedule would go as such
week 1 = round robin
week 2 = opening round
week 3 = round of 16
week 4 = round of 8
week 5 = round of 4 (final 4)
week 6 = semifinals
week 7 = finals


no idea on buying amount or when we start or how many games....just checking to see if there is interest

if we get 8-15 players we just reduce the length of the contest from 7 weeks to 6 weeks (dump the round of 16)...if we get 8 exactly, it goes down to 5 weeks cause we lose the opening round games too

if we get less than 8 lets not even bother.

also, how you guys wanna do payouts?

winner take all? Pay top 2? Pay many smaller payouts? (i.e. round robin winner, rd 1 winner $, rd 2 winner $, etc.

Let's do this. I say second place gets money back or small profit and rest goes to winner.

I say depends on the # entries...
if we get 16, I wouldn't oppose Final 4 getting Money back and splitting the rest....

but it's your genius idea so Ill follow your lead ... im in...

no ways defy....i'm just throwing the idea out there....right now I don't have to time to run this. If there is interest I will participate (whatever buyin) but I'd be pissing people off if I ran it (slow grading, etc.)....hopefully someone else (YOU) can run it (hold money, grade, etc.)

kind of like how HC ran with the NFL playoff auction

should we post a link in the NBA forum or do you think we will get too many wackos/ghosts/touts/flakes?

that sounds good...if we get paying customers...i don't care if they are a ghost or wannabe tout....i would enjoy giving the tout prospects a beatdown.

i'd more enjoy actual touts entering to prove themselves
