    as soon as the 16 is finalized, we will do the drawing. Will be me and several BA's who have no stake in this. As soon as that is announced, will notify every one of their team.

    I've been asked this twice, so I will post this here. Once the field is narrowed to 16, myself and several other BA's will do the blind draw. Once 16 BA's are in, each BA will be assigned a number from wence they replied to this thread, I will be Team 1, Domeshot Team 2, Guiseppefranc will be Team 3, and so forth. Once the teams have been drawn, I will creat a new thread with every ones team. I will keep the update going in the thread as far as who is still going after it is down to 8. Once the final four has been announced. Every one who is not in the Final 4 will have to ship out their $50 dollar box. Once the Nat'l Champion has been determined. I will assiagn who ships to whom. At that time , if there are preferences, I will hear them at that time. Cant promis I can accomodate, but will try.
    Once you get your target, try to get your box together and shipped in a timely manner (after 3 weeks, you will be asked for an update) Remember, its all in good fun, and fo sho send a box you would like to of received. Hope this answers your questions. Now lets get two more.

    we will know the laset 16 tonight. Here is how the draw will be to figure out who has what team. I will write the 16 NCAA teams down and put in a hat, will then take the BA's name and put in a seperate hat. Will then draw from the Ba hat, then draw from the NCAA hat. So it will be complete luck of the draw. I have recruited 2 BA's who are not in this BIF to over see the draw tomorrow. So look for your team tomorrow afternoon.
