What is the difference between the "Missed first round" bet and "2nd round"? Doesn't the guy need to go in the 2nd either way?

Do you only need to call a trade, you don't need to actually say who was picked in that slot?

I have you at 50 because you picked Wiggins twice in wagers and you could only use a player once in the wagers so I just threw out the smaller bet.

But it doesn't matter because you're first anyway.

Ice Phoenix was second, and plyb was third (but actually lost by one pick due to Mr. Irrelevant going one spot higher). So send me your e-mails for prizes!

WEREWAIF gets some honorable mention for absolutely dominating the drafting portion, with 30 points just there. I think if I do this again next year I would re-balance this because I imagined a lot more points being scored in the draft section, but it was a lot harder than I thought. plyb was the only other person who broke 25 there.

Right on, that was a good game. I didn't see that rule about wagers but it makes sense. And I agree with the rebalance. I kinda gamed it a bit and figured that several of the wagers were free points and others should just be avoided. Maybe rebalance but also put odds like 5-1 on things like Mr irrelevant.

Anyway, PM sent
