[FF]: Palmetto Regional Free-For-All FF

[Billfred]

Alright, so I've traditionally run a Palmetto Regional league. (Heck, I even won one of them.)

However, classes and other things this semester have me slammed until Palmetto--there's just no chance for me to administer a draft properly.

Therefore, I'm going to launch a Free-For-All FF. The rules are as follows:

1) You select any three teams competing (https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index.lasso?page=teamlist&menu=false&event=sc) in the 2007 Palmetto Regional.
2) Your set of three teams can not be the same three-team set someone else has picked. (For example, I can pick 1293, 1398, and 1618, and someone right after me could pick 1293, 1398, and 1959. However, only I can compete with the 1293/1398/1618 combination.)
3) Limit one entry per person--and by one entry, I mean your first entry. Re-drafts are only allowed if a team drops the competition...but really, who's going to do that a week before?
4) There are no trades, no wild cards, nada. You pick your three and go.

Scoring is as follows:

20....1st seed
12....2nd and 3rd seed
6......4th through 8th
3......9th through 12th
2......12th through 16th

4......Quarter finalists
10.....Semifinalists
20.....Finalists
30.....Winners

42.....Chairmans
36.....Engineering Inspiration Award

20.....Rookie All-Star
10.....Rooke Inspiration
8......Woodie Flowers
5.....Regional Highest score
5.......Highest score / Highest Rookie Seed

2......Qualification Match Win(s)
-2.....Qualification Match Loss(es)
1......Qualification Match Tie(s)

2.......for every non-placement award, except previously mentioned

(This is essentially Koko Ed's scoring, except with the removal of the higher weight for technical awards and judges' awards.)

With that, I'll play the commissioner card and make my own selection:


Billfred 342 1251 1369
dhoizner 343 1251 1369
When you add your teams to the list, do me a favor and sort your name by the lowest team number, then the next-lowest, and so on. It'll help when it comes time for later folks to make a pick.

The deadline is midnight EDT, March 28 2007.

[Arefin Bari]

I will give it a shot since I only have to pick 3 teams at once, heck I already know the teams I want. Let me know when I can pick Billfred. Thanks...

[DanDon]

Dhoizner 343 1251 1369

[Billfred]

I will give it a shot since I only have to pick 3 teams at once, heck I already know the teams I want. Let me know when I can pick Billfred. Thanks...Better pick quick--I imagine your choice of teams is probably going to go fast, if you're thinking what we're thinking!

[Arefin Bari]

I guess I can post the teams I would like...

1251, 1369, 2092

[Billfred]

I guess I can post the teams I would like...

342, 1251, 1369.
No can do--that three-team combination has already been chosen (by yours truly, at that). Pick again.

[Arefin Bari]

Realized it and changed it while you guys were posting.

[Billfred]

Got an IM from Andrew Rudolph--he wants 1251/1369/1398.

[Billfred]

To update:

Billfred: 342/1251/1369
Dhoizner: 343/1251/1369
Andrew Rudolph: 1251/1369/1398
Arefin Bari: 1251/1369/2092

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

Ante up!

It will be

587/1251/337

[Billfred]

Ante up!

It will be

179/180/1251Such a prediction would have worked great in 2005, but neither 179 nor 180 is attending Palmetto this year. Pick again.

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

2237 1251 343



seems like 1251 is popular this year
yay for them

[Billfred]

They pulled out a win against quite a few strong alliances at UCF, and Palmetto has long been kind to them (finalist in 2005, champion in 2006). I'm not surprised in the least.

The updated picks:

BenjyPoore: 281/342/343
Steve Graff: 337/587/1251
George1902: 342/343/1369

[sebas2mil]

337 (Starbot) / 845 (cutting) / 1251 (TechTigers)

[santosh]

Hey I want in: 1746/832/343
Competed with all three teams, they were all amazing. Look for 832 to surprise some people at Palmetto.

Just as a housekeeping thing, please put your picks in order by team number. You'll note that the roster is sorted by first pick, then second, then third--this lets folks find out if their combo has been selected. Thanks! :)

[wiglebienie]

uuu
never really done anything like this before
mines well try though
:D

[Gene F]

I'll take:

343-845-1102

[Billfred]

So it was noted that some teams have added at the last minute. Since they're now available, I'll begrudgingly allow re-drafts until tomorrow morning at 7:45 AM. Whichever picks you have posted last at that time will be your pick.

[Arefin Bari]

I would like to change my pick. Previously I had 1251, 1369, 2092 ...

My new picks are 1251, 1369, 1626...

Thanks Billfred.

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Wow, 1626 is a steal this late in the game. I expect them to take this regional with one hand tied behind their back.

[taylort]

342 / 1626 / (why not?) 1293

Gotta give it a shot.

[Billfred]

Just for the record, I haven't forgotten about this league. I've got to hash out scoring, which might take me a couple of days with school. Expect results by the end of the week.

[Billfred]

Alright, so it's actually a little faster than I thought.
