I’m in. 
@Huckleberryis hopefully in as he makes it more fun. 
@Prepuce of DoomI believe is the defending champ so he’s in if he confirms he wants to be in. 
that leaves 5 spots. 
$20 entry fee. We draft Sunday until we are done based upon peoples schedules. Usually takes a day or two. Winner take all. 
Points are scored by multiplying your teams seed by the round they win. So- if a 1 seed wins it all they earn 21 points. If a 10 seed makes the sweet 16 it’s 30 points.

3 spots open. 
the seeded draft is of course the best/most exclusive deal possibly on Surly- but will also run just the Pick ‘Em contest with cash prize like last year too.  People seemed to like that as well.

I’m sorry man. You want in?  

speaking of, @blacklab or @immamac ought to give me a customized "surly fantasy champion" tag by my name. to date ive won:

•the surly fantasy baseball league (twice)

•the surly roto fantasy baseball league

•the surly fantasy basketball league (multiple wins of both regular season and playoffs)

•the surly ncaa tourney pool

•the surly seeded draft

i'm kind of a big deal.

Yeah, I think I won the previous year. 

And I won the bracket pool the year UVA won, so I want some of the same flair that you get! 

I'm in if there is still room. It's a fun contest. I did it for a couple of years, but took last year off.

You are in. 1 more spot left. @gmr548has always been interested. If not him then whoever. 
also- wouldn’t mind 1 alternate in case someone flakes the draft on us which happened one time I believe and was irritating. Cough cough Derka cough cough.

Cool. We’ve got 8 filled plus an alternate position in case someone goes AWOL.

@BigOrange you are up first.  When you finish your pick you @ the next guy in line.  Try to keep it moving as much as possible.  WE are usually wrapped up by Monday night or tuesday morning.  When you pick the play in games you get both teams and no points for the play in game.

Guys I might suck drafting this year. @Wulaw Horn can I send  you a 1-64 list and you promise not to cheat? Ha.

I'm at my in-laws' property clearing tons of brush from the freeze. Spotty connection at best. I'll be back to do normal reporting and updates by the time the tournament starts but I'm not back to civilization until Tuesday. I could send the list by later tonight.

Sure. Send the list tonight. I won’t cheat- not a problem.

Dammit, UConn was at the top of my board.

Fairly obvious pick there. 

I'll take Arky. 

@Zepol87

Marquette as the 2 begs for 6/7/10/11. 
Bama got buttfucked by the worst big 12 team.
