I gotta tell you I'm highly dissapointed you didn't come through in the NBA playoffs this year. I was looking forward to taking you on when a game really meant something.... Ah well, perhaps we'll meet in the tournament here

I'm down in like an hour, going to do a quick warm-up, seeing that i haven't played in months.
Alright, rusty mcgees. Here's the problem: it's an 18 man bracket! Usually, the way this is handled is the 4 lowest teams play the first games and everyone else has a bye. Then, we all play uninterrupted and the winners of those first games play the 1 seeds on each side.
I know you guys are chomping at the bits to play, but IMO, this is the best solution. Other than that, we could do it with a lopsided bracket that would be unfair to an entire conference. So what do you guys think?
Hopefully, Airbrian, Chrisjames, drizzler, and Birdman are ready to go asap. They would be the low tier teams.
Airbrian @ Chrisjames
Drizzler @ Birdman
Plus, it gives us some practice time!

Meh, MLB2K was so fucked up that many people didn't feel like finishing it because there was too many things wrong with it! Of the many hilarious memories, I vividly remember a game where I hit 11 hrs through 6 innings only to have a signature 2K network error stop the game...
Speaking of baseball, I can't wait until we get this league over so I can trade in this game so credit can go towards that purchase
MLB 09 is where the real deal is this year! I. CANT. WAIT.
Wow....I LOVED MLB 2k6....if you guys are doing an MLB league this year are there any open slots? If so, I would like to reserve one.

Maybe I have my dunce cap on today, but that solution looks hella confusing....
How about...rank everyone from 1 through 16 based on records (new jacks get punted to the bottom of rankings), and do it NCAA BBall tournament style where it's:
1 vs 16
2 vs 15
3 vs 14
And so on and so forth. That way it will easily dwindle down to 16-->8-->4-->2-->Shawn
IMO, we have way too many people playing to give people byes and such. I'm of the mind that we need to capitalize on the momentum here while interest appears to be high, and finish out this damned season the right way!
Bottom four can compete for the last two slots at 15th and 16th respectively...

I think that is the exact same thing he is saying... I'm good to play once i can figure out why i can't sign into my account... Just plugged in a new 360 from microsoft (old one got RRoD). It's just signing in for ever and if i B out i'm signed it but not online.
Like I said, if they don't show up (let's say 8 PST?) I'll have to drop 2 people. I'm sorry, but that's the way it has to work :[ It's my fault, and I apologize, but that would be CJ since he said he could only play if it got started today, anyway and drizz because he's the fill in. :\
I already have both brackets ready, so as soon as 8 rolls around, I'll post one of the two.

Actually my plan was about seeding everyone in the same pool instead of NFC vs AFC, but chatting with Rors via AIM quickly illustrated he had thought through his proposed format pretty well.
Looking forward to getting started!

I think people like the idea of the finality that comes with the tournament. Regardless of records, everyone has a shot to knock off anybody. I know I somewhat sleptwalked through my season with my eyes strictly on getting to the playoffs. Now that they are here, it's time to blow dust off my copy of Madden and get to work!
Final four or bust...

AirBrian where you at? I can play our game right now!
Oh, and I was probably over-exaggerating by saying I can only play if it starts today. In reality, I can play if it starts in the next few days...
-well I have some people coming over to play RockBand now, but I should be able to play late tonight or tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Ready when you are Birdman
Oh, man...you're killing me, CJ.
I already set the 8pm deadline and I decided the two people based on the information I had at the time. If I were to do what I wanted and was most convenient for me, I would let Chris and Drizzler stay since they are here and that would be 2 games that would get played tonight.
That said, it would be completely unfair to birdman and airbrian. I was kind of rushing the signups and getting the league started because I didn't want to disappoint anyone and partly because you and a couple of others said they would only do it if it was done asap, Chris. The other person that would have to go would naturally be Drizz because he wasn't in the league. I'm really sorry, Drizz. Didn't mean to drag you along. If it were up to me, the league could wait another day (I voted to continue the league 'till february lol), but I'm feeling the pressure to get this done as soon as possible or it will crumble as the league did.
In the end, it is my fault and I take full responsibility. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to pull the trigger.

[edit] Fixed.
Yeah, well, it would be better for me if I kept you two. I'm able to play my game tonight and I have to play the lowest seed, so it's an inconvenience for me. Again, sorry. Wish I could make it up to you guys. :\TheDrizzlerJ11 said:I understand, kinda lame when we're the two ready though.

See, that's the thing. I didn't figure a set date would be necessary because you guys were so gun ho to play, so we'd just play our games as soon as our opponents were decided. But, if you guys really need the structuresableholic said:
P) we can make it 2.5 days. I know that's not much time, but there's no holidays, no football, and borked xbox means you're out. We'll play it democratically, though. If you guys think that's unfair, let your voice be heard!

bluemax,
I might be behind the times, but I thought your 360 was dead? Anyway, I'm home this week so I can play tomorrow night if you can. I'll probably be playing COD4 or Burnout Paradise so just send me a message when you can go!
