US Open Contest: Draft Thread It is that time again! The US Open starts Thursday, and our contest is officially underway.
The initial draft order is determined by how everyone finished in our last tournament (The PGA Championship).
The Draft Schedule & DeadlinesTo ensure we stay on track, we need to clear at least 2 people per day. Keep a close eye on this thread title, as we might get ahead of schedule and push deadlines forward!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO PICK A SQUAD OF 5 UNIQUE PLAYERS - 1 from each group
I will try and repost the image from time-to-time to see who's gone.
- Sunday - by 6pm PDT (but let's try and work it in during the Mariners game)
Xpert DBA and baller need to have their picks locked in. XpertDBA please pick before the game ends if possible, baller then has the rest of the day to select his. But if XpertDBA hasn't gone by 6pm, baller you go for it and we'll come back to him - Monday - no game, so let's aim for 6pm PDT
D-Train and rockycola must pick their players, D-T try and get yours in by 6pm leaving rocky the rest of the night - Tuesday - by the end of the Mariners game
TLO Idaho and Bil522 - if TLO can get your pick in around gametime leaving Bil a decent run at it. - Wednesday - by the end of the Mariners game
Sibelius Hindemith and maoling- if SH can get your pick in around gametime leaving maoling a decent run at it. - Wednesday Night / Thursday Morning:

Missed Turns & Proxy Picks:
- If you are going to be away: You can pre-submit your choices if you want saying "1st pick" and "2nd pick" preferences for each group if you want.
- If you miss your turn: The draft moves on to the next player. You can still select your squad when you return, but the pool of available players will obviously be reduced.
- Automated Picks: If you continue to miss your turn, I will step in and allocate you the highest-ranked player available from each group. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can just message me ahead of time and tell me to do that for you from the start.
The 6th Player AllocationOnce I make my pick:
1. All remaining undrafted players in the pool will be shuffled.
2. A 6th player will be allocated to each participant.
3. This allocation happens in reverse order of the initial draft (meaning I will get the first player from the remaining pool).

BE SENSIBLEWe are all mates here, so let's not be pissing around waiting until 5:58 PM on purpose just to derail other pickers. If you are ready to pick, just get it posted! If we can actually get ahead of this schedule and rattle through the order by Tuesday night, then let's do it. Be aware of who's after you and let them know when you might be posting so they can check back in here.
