re: HGMF: Dr Pepper Death-Toss Draft. . .

Edit: I actually perused the list and there are a few winners there...some southern girls and one dude with a hoodie. Depending on who gets the nod to compete there could be a baller hidden in there.

Yeah, I did the same. The question is which two are throwing in our game?

There's a major flaw in the idea for a draft.

Since we won't know the exact two finalists until halftime, it could end up with one of you having drafted both of the final two contestants. So that's not going to work.

We could seed the draft in order of your preferred contestants or something like that. But, I'm telling you, this ball toss thing happens quick and is over before you know it. So that might get confusing.

They only show the final round though. The other rounds happen at Georgia World Congress Center during the day with the cast of Dr Pepper Fansville there signing autographs. So we won't know who makes finals until halftime 12 seconds before they start chucking balls into giant dr pepper cans.


However....


The draft may still work because there's only 4 finalists.

What we could do is seed the draft, so that IF both of someone's picks make the final, they would default to their first pick. And the other would get the remaining person.

Example: If both of SicEm's draft picks make the finals, then SicEm will be represented by his first draft pick. And Tween will be represented by the other guy/gal. And vice verso.

The final four contestants for SEC halftime...

So those are the final four for sure? I like the idea of drafting them and then if one of us picks both of the final two, splitting them up. How about we do that with the SECCG, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and ACC games? That's plenty of opportunity for us to pick and have a say in what happens. We each pick two of the four finalists for each game and whichever two end up throwing is what we use for scoring. Just add up the totals when the final game is over; most throws made wins. Plus, it keeps me and Tween in it all day, same as if we were making the normal picks.

And to make it fair....we can do this like an MLB playoff five-game series. I pick the first and third pick in the first two games (based on time of day played), Tween picks first and third the next two games, then I pick first and third for the fifth and final game. A home field advantage of sorts for me.

What say you guys?

ETA: after reading Jeff’s post again, why not combine what I suggested above with the best of five idea? First to three wins lives?

It could be pretty nuts following these players across multiple games during multiple halftimes.

Precisely!

Done deal. I delegate the draft to you and SicEm to get done then.

Just get me draft results for all five conference championships. (Finalists for each listed here.) Then, if one person gets both of their picks in a halftime final, the higher rated pick goes to the one that picked them, and the lower rated pick goes to the other.

I'll hype each dr pepper death-match with the details inside the HGMF thread before each halftime. WIth death-off leaderboards etc

Pro Tip:

Get into a weird head space before making these picks!
