I will accept the first 15 replies below to organize a fantasy wrestling pool. Draft will start at 8:00pm on Tuesday the 17th (can be adjusted if needed). Rules:

1. Draft order will be randomized
2. You must select ONE wrestler per weight class
3. You will earn points for your picks only if they achieve All American Status
4. Once a wrestler is selected, he is off the board. Only 1 team gets to draft Mike Kelly.
5. Point values are as follows:
1st- 15 points
2nd-10 points
3rd- 7 points
4th- 5 points
5th- 4 points
6th- 3 points
7th- 2 points
8th- 1 point
6. You can earn additional points in 3 ways:
1. Correctly pick the first #1 seed to lose (if you pick Kokesh to be the first 1 out, and both him and Waters lose in the quarterfinals, you will receive points for Kokesh. Doesn't need to be time restricted, just the round that matters. There could be multiple right answers here.) Worth 3 points
2. Correctly pick the first #2 seed to lose (same rules apply above) Worth 3 points
3. If you pick anyone seeded outside the top 8 seeds to be an AA, you earn their score x1.5
(Example if you pick 9 seed Schopp and he takes third, you get his 7 points multiplied by 1.5 for 10.5 points)
-Any unseeded wrestler you pick will earn double for AA honors (example if you choose nick moore and he places 6th, you earn his 3 points multiplied by 2 to earn 6.)


If there is lots of interest past 15 replies, I can expand, but this will weaken the pool of wrestlers significantly.
Post below to put your name in. I will start a sheet for participants. Thanks!

No limitations. Once someone is drafted, they are off the board though. If you end up with 10 #1 seeds, good for you. Once someone drafts somebody to their team, they are claimed. Like fantasy football.
 
awesome, ill put you down. it will be a snake draft. i will put all names into a randomizer to get draft order.
 
The draft will be done here on rivals, I will create a thread and you will have a set time limit to post your pick when it is your turn. Once we start, we will see how far we get. If it is taking too long to finish in one night comfortably for everyone, we can continue into wednesday. But I don't think it should take much longer than 8pm-10:30pm in all honesty.

Thanks, when do you anticipate doing the draft ?, so I can set aside a few hours. And thanks for running this.

Sure I will give it a shot. Abro, don't forget they are an hour behind us when planning your night.
 
Sounds like a lot of fun, but I have a feeling that the draft might turn into quite the ordeal. Lots of refreshing and keeping track of which wrestlers have been taken and which are still on the board. Might even be difficult to keep track of who's turn it is. What happens when somebody takes too long or doesn't respond fast enough - or at all, or chooses a wrestler that has been already taken. In most snake drafts, there is a computer keeping track of the available athletes and there is a timer and auto-pick. Without those, things can very easily go wrong.
 
There will be a time limit on a selection. if nobody is selected within the time limit, they will receive the highest seeded wrestler available at the lowest weight class they haven't selected a wrestler at. I will have a google doc shared with all draft members to keep track of who has been selected and for what team. It shouldn't be hard to keep track of since the board posts things in time order, much like a PBP thread. You should be able to just read and scroll. Things can go wrong of course, but I am not too worried about it. If you don't want in, that's fine. Thanks!
 
Well since i drink to much at night

srry Herbert I wont be doing a gmail acct.. if that means im out, so be it, although I would like to still be able to do this...
 
no big deal, I am just using it to keep track of who has been drafted by sharing a document everyone can see. it is more for everyone's benefit than anything. as long as you pay attention/keep track of who is off the board, thats fine.
 
Anyone else want in before I start making a draft order an everything? Draft time at 8pm central time Tuesday night. Can take a few more if interested! Thanks everyone.
 
That's 7pm Eastern time? lol, I'll have to ask the wifey to have dinner ready much earlier for this epic event !
