Congratulations to hyped78 for winning the 1st NBA Draft TD Tournament. Hyped will pick first in the upcoming draft for winning and everyone else will have their position randomized.

On to the 2nd NBA Draft TD Tournament!

We are going to do ANOTHER fantasy basketball DRAFT here on fannation in NBA Fanz. We are going to draft 8 man teams this go around. After the teams are all drafted we are going to have a throwdown tournament facing up the different teams.

First Tourney link:

 Signups have already taken place, if you want in we should be able to fit you unless the first round of the draft is already over, then its locked.

There have been a lot of changes this year. Allen Iverson playing PG and SG, Andrea Barganini playing C, PF, and SF. Then you got AK47 and Lamar Odom moving to the bench. I guess what i am trying to explain is that you can pick your guys to play any position if you can debate it being good in a throwdown. So if you pick Dwight Howard for your team to play PG you better be able to defend it in a throwdown.

 RULES:

ALL PLAYERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE DRAFT BUT MUST CURRENTLY BE ON AN NBA ROSTER AS OF March 2nd 2009. 

THE DRAFT WILL BE A SNAKE STYLE DRAFT, SO LAST PICK WILL PICK FIRST IN THE SECOND ROUND AND SO ON...

*new team rule* 8 MAN TEAMS, 5 STARTERS 3 BENCH PLAYERS

WE WILL BE USING CAREER STATS IN THE THROWDOWNS

There will be a td tourney with these teams!

Draft order will be randomized once teams have signed up except for Hyped 78, he gets the first pick for winning the 1st td tourney.

Each Draft pick will have 24 hours to select their draft choice in the comments of the draft blog, yet to be added.  We need to strictly follow the 24 hour rule at most so it doesn't take forever to finish.

Dyhard is going to assist me on the draft and tourney so direct questions to him or myself.

*new rule* - MAKE SURE TO FANMAIL THE PERSON FOLLOWING YOU IN THE DRAFT SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE ON THE CLOCK.

Lastly, here who is definately in the draft and following tournament.

Should we do single or double elimination in the td tournament?

March 2, 2009  05:00 PM ET

Joe i'll also help if you need me. I'm on here a lot so I can do things if needed.

March 2, 2009  05:23 PM ET

Are these teams for a single game or season?

the teams that we are drafting for are for the tournament. So when the tourney is over its over. We are drafting teams and once we are done we will have throwdowns against each other so people on fannation can determine on who drafted the best teams and defended their draft picks, thus the need for the tournament.

Ok repping, i will have you help as well because i need all i can get

March 2, 2009  05:50 PM ET

Ok i have asked repping to set up the draft order. To randomize it, the only thing that is set is hyped picking first.

March 2, 2009  07:34 PM ET

woot, looks like a good Tourney

March 2, 2009  07:37 PM ET

Sounds like an awesome tourney! Only thing I'm curious about though, is since it's career stats, are guys like CP3 gonna be behind guys like Iverson? Or is it just how well you can argue your people? Thanks.

March 2, 2009  08:11 PM ET

Wooh, here we go. Dew, are you allowed to vote?

March 2, 2009  08:39 PM ET

Alright i'm getting the draft order ready now.

Here is the way I am doing it. Joe has everyone numbered 1-16 above. So I have 15 pieces of paper (since Hyped automaticaly gets number 1). Then I cut the little guys out and now they are on my lap lol. But i am going to pick them out and cordinate them with the number of the person and i'll let you know where you are then I think we can start the tournament.

So I may be speaking out of turn here but I think I can say Hyped you are on the clock lol.

Actually Hyped ask Joe.

March 2, 2009  09:38 PM ET

Alright here is whats up. I have 3 lists here so everyone thinks it is fair. I will fan mail joe all three lists. All i'm asking for you all is to decide list 1, 2, or 3. Just leave a comment here on which lists you will like. So just say a number one two or three. I'll fan mail each one of you also and ask.

March 2, 2009  09:51 PM ET

Can't wait.

March 2, 2009  11:01 PM ET

I think I sent everyone a fan mail so now i'm just waiting to hear back.
