if we do a snake draft, would we still be able to pick the teams live and you would just use the list for people that couldn't make it ? or would the picks be based solely on the list ?

Thanks!

will send the shipping payment soon

The tiered system you describe is not the way I saw this happening. I prefer the previously discussed snake style team draft. We don't want anyone to get screwed, so I thought the plan was to go 1-15 and 15-1. So if you don't get a high pick, you'll get two mid level picks. If we go this route, I think everyone should send a list to Brandon for at least your Top 15 picks if not all 30. Even if you plan on participating in the draft live, you should still submit a list because you never know if your connection will be good the entire time. If you're there live, then Brandon will get the pick from you, if you're not he will go to your list.

An additional question I have is how do we want to handle cards with multiple players/teams. I know Prime has a lot of Duals, Trios and Quads. I know Blowout will often do the randoms, but is it a rule that they have to do them? To save time and get the cards shipped out quicker, I've fine with Brandon doing randoms for multi-team cards at the end of the break (unless he doesn't want to). He's not in the break, so it shouldn't matter. I think randoms are better than the "team on the top left of the card" method.

Thanks...
