Championship Fantasy First
 

Ok, i know its still a little far away, but from what i've heard its gonna be huge this year, more than 30 people at least. So who's up for it, we can probably tailor the rules more to competition, but I think the Balint scoring system is the way to go, with some additional points, like Division winners and such, as well as a new category, biggest LAN party. We also should have the live draft a week after regionals is over.

So who's in?

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

well i left this one for Koko to set up so i dunno just how to start this yet. he had some great ideas on how to manage this. so i would just wait a little for this. we will be talking at buckeye in 2 weeks and get all the info down so that this will run very smooth this year. other then that I'm in!

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

also feel free to throw around any ideas you have for this, it may be to be very unique.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Oh wow!
Someone is moving in on my territory!
Oh well I guess I get a break this year...

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

NO! no break for ya on the biggest ff league of them all. we need to work all together to make this run smoothly. we shall chat more at buckeye after i shall beat all of you badly... even thought i won't have my team for that league. :(

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

when Its off the ground... I'm in. I could care less who sets it up or what the rules are as long as the rules apply the same to every member. :)

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

This is going to have to be a group effort. Too hard for one person to do it him/herself again.

Btw... Im in.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I am totally claiming a spot for this now. If any of you organizers need help, I'd be glad to help run this.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I and Levin571 are both in and are both willing to lend a hand whenever one is needed.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I am game...

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Y'all know I'm in on this.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I'm in, sounds fun

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I'm in....and let me know if you need some help...I'll try to do what I can.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

wow not even 3 hours up and we are already at 12 people, come on sign up, i think we can break 30, oh joy this will be fun to organize.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I have but one thing to say...

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

im in

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

sure, sounds like fun

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I am shiggidy in.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

*grabs his spot before they're all taken*

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

there all taken when we reach 249, yeah thats how many teams are going to nats currently. if we do reach 249, you'll give any organizer a heart attack, no matter how good their cholesterol is.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

With 249 teams 83 people would be allowed to enter the draft. As I see it, more than 249 teams will go to nationals, there will be more through regional qualifying.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

If there's still room, I'm in.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

yeah thats why we are having the draft after all the regionals are over.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Me, too

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I'm in.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Welll if you're only going to do 30 then I can still do my "original" version.
But I'm not going to start it til I know exactly how many teams are going to be in Atlanta this year.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Ok I'm in....straight domination is about to happen! :p

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I'm in and I saw this morning that there are 258 teams registered and we will on Monday. Probaly guessing around 280 which would make about 93 groups of 3 teams I think.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Sure.. why the heck not..
Although I would split it up by divisions if I was running it.. but whatever..
A true (Fantasy) FIRST team member knows how to scout the entire world. :cool:

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

uh oh, with another current 116er and a former 116er in the pool I might have to grab 116 earlier! :ahh:

And now I have an interesting dilema. To give richie our scouting info or not to give. :/ He might just nab my picks if I help him scout. Argh...

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I know all of you are going to give me a crazy look and roll your eyes, but could someone please direct me to a thread about how to do this? And i dont mean scoring, i mean actually choosing and picking teams and such.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I'll jump in too.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

If theres still room i guess you can count me in...Why Not!

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Just skim over round one of last year's draft to get an idea of what to do and what to expect.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

So is there going to be another thread where you post what teams you want or do you PM someone? Who keeps track of scores?

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Depends who gets involved. Last year Joel, Joe Ross, Jones571, Levin571, Pittbull1126 and Jessica Boucher we're a huge part of the fantasy FIRST success. Hopefully they will be back to help it be a success again.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

im baaaaaack by popular demand (blame kokoEd) I love this years scoring system much more indepth then last year. It should be easy to improve on last years 8th place (dont quote me on that). Just give me a few days to read up on everything that has happened this year and i will post more after i talk with ED and a few others....Jones

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

im game!

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Koko...I just thought up something that might help the draft run a little smoother. Establish a schedule before the draft start and assign a time and date to each person with about 10-15 minutes in between each (skip hours when some may be asleep and such). Let everyone pick their team on or after that time. The schedule before hand will tell everyone when they need to be around. And if they aren't around, others can pick at their times and the people who missed their picks can come back at any time to make their selection, but the teams that others had already picked (after they missed their time slot) would not be available. Just ask that whenever someone posts their pick to include their time slot and it wouldn't be too hard to keep track of. And I am game for helping...just let me know what you want me to do. I hope this message made sense, if not, please ask questions.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I dont know if this is still open, but i am game

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Hey that sounds like a much better plan then last year and still fair i think we should run it this way. but also like last year teams should make a list and email to myself or kokoed we will specify later. Please do it in a word document and save it as your CD name so that way they can be kept track of very easily and all in on folder for organization.

and Jagman and thoughtful your both in good luck!

on the draft selection, as tkwetzel said earlier theres an idea for that, and give everyone a date and time to make their picks that may work. But i sorta came up with this other idea...Sort of like the yahoo fantasy baseball autodraft that they have, if we could have a program set up online where all the users can access it and then order their picks and they are automatically picked in the draft order and by process of elimination.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Id rather do it the same way we did last year (more fun that way). Plus we have guys who have experience running such a large draft.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

If there's still room for more people, I'm in.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Yea now thinking about and talking with Ed i think we should go with last years way people know it and it is simple :rolleyes: also Ogre would like to play and is now # 44


Auto drafts are HORRIBLE only if we can get Eddie to see the light of a live draft

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Yeah, I'm in too.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I have a suggestion:
Break everyone up into divisions, that way there is a smaller pool of robots they have to choose from.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

If I can do it, I'm in too. =)

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

your both on the list

Ogre that is the hard part about nationals you have to know a lot more about every robot it wouldn't be challenging if we broke it into smaller divisions then every one could get the cheesy poofs and Hammond..... get the picture

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

No, when you break it up into divisions, each FF division gets assigned a real division. That way each robot only gets picked once, and the 'good' robots are spilt up.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

We'll call this the main Championship FF and we can do one for divisions.

more room still available

ok i Ogre has a good idea, now lets run with it. The Sub divisions will probably pop up later. As for this, the chaotic large style draft is a probably going to be what this ends up as. Same style as the other ones, everyone is notified of the draft date and their time slot (that won't be bumped up as we learned in NJ FF) I also think we need to add points to the Balint scoring system for stuff such as Division winner, and Overall Winner. Other than that its probably going to be just as chaotic as all the other drafts.

ps-does anyone know if its possible to write in columns in your posts, it would be a little helpful

Orginal Championship Fantasy First League 1
 

as my buddy Koko Ed and the FF master said above, this is the original ruling FF Championship league, NO divisions.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Uhh I'm gunna roll with ed on that one saying this is going to played the same as last year...and well divisions possible next year........but on a happy less confrontational note the lovely Jessica Boucher has so kindly agreed to do the excel sheet again for this years Championship game so scoring will be very simple :) thanks jess!

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

Alright this year with me actually having a job i can declare a ***prize***!! (yeah like the kind you can actually touch)

Pitbull1126 and myself have come up with the idea of getting a FIRST Tshirt. (one of the ones that says 2005 nationals) then getting all the CD people to sign it at the web hug. Also i will try for other popular FIRST celebs that might be popular....woodie, dave etc..... do to the fact we don't know the winner ahead of time the Shirt will be an XL. It will be shipped to your door after nationals or you can arrange for pick up if your going to one of the same off seasons...... any other contributions to the winners box (i.e. your team pins or shirts) please give to me at nationals so i can pack them away...sound good????

actual prize will vary this is just an idea http://www.logoloc.com/first/13477.html

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

it sound good to me capiton (in antionio bendares accent) :cool: :cool:

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

also... if other people have some stuff to chip in for the top 10, please contact either me, Koko Ed or Jonesy and we will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

hey i say give it all to the #1 person :) the true winner!

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

I say we make a special editon FF t-shirt signed by CDers at the webhug.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

hey i say actually having a physical prize this year is a step up...we will work on the fantasy first merchandise next year :D

Re: Championship Fantasy First League 1
 

You have all left Dorienne Plait out of the list. Just thought I would mention that before her post gets lost in the plethora of responses.

Re: Championship Fantasy First

Let's get it started when they put the divisions up.

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

ok April 11th it is

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

So April 11th is start date. Do we do the draft on CD or an AIM Chat room?

Re: Championship Fantasy First
 

We draft on CD.
