MARCH MADNESS - ROUND 3 [BRACKETS POSTED]

[Paul5757]

If I understand the rules correctly (bottom 4 teams of the league are eliminated), there are only two teams vying for the last spot to move on to the next round--albert (15) and ballywackman (30). (IMB, Scot, and seanreflex are mathmatically out of it.) (I think I'm right about who's eliminated, but please double check.)

Why don't we just take the average of albert's and bally's rankings to determine what division/league the winner of the two will be in, then assign Panzer to the opposite league, and [i:c2245b7536][b:c2245b7536]get to loading[/b:c2245b7536][/i:c2245b7536]. The league with the winner of albert and bally will have to wait for that outcome, but the league with Panzer can load up ASAP. The seedings might not track the manager rankings exactly, but we all know they are BS anyhow, and a Panzer-less 80s tournament just doesn't seem right, given his record.

And let's not stress out about weighted or nonweighted waivers. If everyone in the bracket knows beforehand, and can make their draft list accordingly, everyone is playing on the same level playing field.

Will that work Panzer? [i:c2245b7536][b:c2245b7536](It's obviously up to the commish, though.)[/b:c2245b7536][/i:c2245b7536]

Just my opinion, but I don't think that I can accept winning this tournament, which of course I am going to :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: without beating the Panzer.

I think we should make a concerted effort to get loaded by FRI using this formula. I assume this will work for Panzer. I'll post the brackets tomorrow and let's get it loaded. I think this shortcut does less harm than leaving a top seed out of the competition.

[Jablowmi]

as for waivers, while i'd rather the leagues be the same, i don't see how anyone has an advantage or disadvantage if they remain the way they are (as long as everyone knows going in). frankly, i assumed that the default setting was weighted. at this point, rather than vote, i'd leave it the way it is.

[Paul5757]

Why not call the combo albert/bally manager ranking "22.5," determine the rankings tonight (adjusting the 22.5 up or down to ensure that they are in the opposite league of Panzer), and get to loading Panzer's league tonight?

[Yellow_Dog]

As the last place team in Rd 2 Br 2, I think I should be first in line for replacing Panzer. :shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Finally - an owner with a brass set!

P.S. - I'm going to break it to UGLY ... don't go and buy anything on credit just yet!

:wink:

[Panzer ace]

If we can draft tomorrow to start the 21st, I am in. I will not have to worry how much internet access I will have since the league will be almost two weeks in by the time I leave. That would be great. I can deal with either waivers. I just think we should all be the same. Not a big deal though.
Where I end up in waivers doesnt change where I end up at the end of the season... :wink:

Ugly, glad to hear you are still in it. Have those tank tread scars healed from season 1? :shock: :wink:
You know where to find me....Eastern division, #1 seed in the bracket. I will be the guy wearing a tank...with a well dented bulls-eye on it. :lol:

I will get my new team ready.....now where did I put that extra credit I have... :roll:

[UGLYJERRY]

I had almost forgotten about the butt kicking in the first round (my therapist thinks I am doing great). If I am not mistaken, and since my wife is not around I will assume that I am not, this is a four round tournament so the first round means nothing, the second and third mean nothing just the round where Steroid Canseco hits a grand slam at the Kingdome to beat the Panzers :o in game 7 in the fourth and final round :D . OK now I have to go my shrink is on the phone and thinks that I might be a little delusional :wink: :wink: . By the way Jablowmi do you need my address to send the money or how do you want to do it. :lol: :lol: .

I'm told if you say something at least seven (7) different times then people will pay attention to it.

So, I'll say it again.
