Just got back from vacation.... Payment just sent... Thanks.

[BlueShirts]

payments are updated thanks guys

[los421]

sorry for the delay will pay tomorrow

[almeleles]

I think this group restarted back in November. Do breaks usually take this long to break. Pleeeeeaaaase let's get this going there aren't that many hockey breaks out there. Gaaaaaaame onnnn!!!!!! The lock out is over and hockey will be over soon. Lets break some boxies:eek

[clarky91]

Ok fellas, this is a bit ridiculous. There are 15 people here. How hard is it to pay for the break you committed to. If payments aren't finalized by early this week, I'm sorry but I'm gonna ask for refund. I'm not sure if this is normal amongst this group, but if I'd known it was going to take 3-4 weeks to receive payments I wouldn't have participated. Brandon has gone above and beyond hosting this break. Commit and pay already!!!

Good deal.. How are we randoming teams? two tiers? or just a 1-30 draw?

I was actually thinking of doing 2 tiers, but it is up to you guy's, I know some people were saying a random team drawing 1-15 then 15-1. We can do it that way, but everyone would have to make up a preffered list and send it to me before the random. This way will probably be more time consuming but maybe more fun.

Thanks
Brandon

[clarky91]

I'm good with either tiered random or team draft 1-15 / 15-1. Just need to know whether to leave my team preference draft order if can't be on blog at the proper time.

[ontheDB]

A couple of questions:
I haven't done a tier break before, but to confirm, the idea is that the 15 spots are randomized, and whoever ends up with no. 1 picks a team first from tier A and a team first from tier B...and so on, until spot 15 who is stuck with the last team in tier A and the last team in tier B ?

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

[SteelPen2]

I am little confused on the shipping payment. Is this shipping of the case to you or shipping of cards from you to us. If the latter, do we pay for this after the break since you have no idea how heavy our packages will be?

[cowie]

when is the break happening?

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...
