    Ok folks, we have playoff hockey which means I'll need to send beer to someone somewhere.

    With the 24 team, 8 team "play in" format, I feel like we need at least 12 folks to pick two teams. Worst case is 8 people with 3 teams and a buffet of tie breakers. But hey, let's just see what we have and figure it out from there.

    Folks who have expressed interest already is the instigator of my anticipated donation, @johnyb ,myself of course, (gopens44) and:

    @clarke
    @jpatag66
    @zeile33
    @st9647v3
    @BuffaloBill12

    Chime in if you're down with doing this.

    AngusO makes it 8 I believe - say we have three draft rounds; first two rounds of "in" teams and last round of play in teams. Yay? Nay?

    How about we "snake draft" the first two rounds, and "reverse" the draft order for round 3 ?

    Yep, that works very well

    Payout to the finals winner and runner up, what are people's thoughts - 4/3 or 5/2?

    +/= 100 ounces of 90+ rated or tasty beer that you as an advocate can stand by as much goodness

    Everyone who signed up, please check in acknowledging all the draft and payout info with your distro vote (4/3 or 5/2).

    Once everyone checks in I will use randomizer to determine draft order and copy anyone who wants on the email

    Draft begins once I post draft results. Make your selection on this thread and tag next up. I'll take any advice on how much time to alot each pick.

    My only question is 8 players with 7 shippers? Does second place ship? I'm cool if winners also ship, maybe 5-3 if all ship or 4-2 if winners do not ship?

    Ya, so my math isn't always sound...

    Let's try again with 4/2 as the option.

    I'm fine with 5/3 or 4/2.

    For the draft you could also do another random order for the 3rd round. Whatever everyone wants is fine.

    Someone or anyone shoot me your email so I can include a "witness" on the draft randomizer. Snake draft for first two (in teams) and a second randomizer generated order for the third (play in teams) roind6

    I like 4/2.

    But if there is 8 people playing, wouldn’t each person just get 1 “in” team, and 2 more play in teams? Or am I m I missing something?

    I used draftordergenerator.com to create draft order and copied @johnyb on the automatic email for transparency purposes

    Results for "in" team

    @st9647v3 - you are up for selecting an "in" team. Post your selection and tag next up. After this round I'll post results and kick off next two rounds
