I work when Chinese kids have free time so weekends are when I'm busy but it's lunchtime so I have a moment. Not enough time to update, I'll do that this evening. I was pretty impressed we knocked out all of the first round in a matter of hours. Good job everybody.

Some quick answers to Qs...

You can shuffle stuff around from categories if you want.

Looks like nobody seconded Herbies idea for expanding High School / College to 2 required. But nobody dumped on the idea either. If there's continued silence, we'll keep it as is.

Time to eat.

 

Don't fix what ain't broken and lets keep up the good pace.

I did not see Herb's suggestion. I will second it.

I'm going to cut and paste three times so please post in this format to save me some edit work. With the dash between the name and category and parenthesis around year at the end.

12.3 Casablanca - Drama (1942)

 

 

Thanks to 5 Points for reading this. I guess it slipped past the other six.

I'd rather just cut-and-paste than cut-and-paste-and-edit. It makes things easier for me in this format:

12.3 Casablanca - Drama (1942)

I missed it but will do future picks in this format

Thanks for doing the work! The least we can do is make it easier for you.

Friday evenings work around here. Saturday mornings and afternoons not so much. Made for easy updates when I woke up though.

 This weekend lull has been aright. Reflection time I guess.  Between this and the 80s music draft has brought me back to a great of my teenage years. We all win. Thanks.🥕🥕🥕

We're winding down, we're at 21.4 as I write this. Everyone has met the year requirement. 

We had a couple of auction draft ideas, that got buried. I'd like to has them out. We can do one or the other or both or neither.

Idea one, if you're not burned out and want a bit more, is an encore for this draft. We can do a three round auction to expand wildcards out from five to eight. You'd still have to meet the category requirements by the end of the round 24.

Idea two is another full draft with all the movies we we selected but in an auction format. Bunny suggested three titles, but that seems way too shallow. I'd think 10 at a minimum or better 16 titles would be better. Again, both ideas are auction format.

We don't have to do either. I think the first idea specifically, we'd need buy-in from everyone to want to do it. Just one person, any of us can veto it. The second is more ambitious but we could pull off with folks dropping out.

I'm okay with another three rds but not really up for a auction draft.

We'll just pull the plug after round 24.

But I'm still hungry for more. For fun, I intend to make a JV squad sorting through the leftovers, using the same rules and see if I can't put together a solid looking roster. I'm just focking around because there's too much slipping that I want to clean up. Anyone that wants to do so is invited to as well.

Sounds interesting but maybe take a week off after this ends ? I want to say appreciate all the work you put into this draft.

The Jerk was released December 14, 1979.... his potential first round pick hit the box offices two weeks too early. :wall:

Count me out for an auction of additional rounds. I don’t like the idea of auction at all. I don’t have the patience to figure out how much to spend on 25th round movies I’ve likely never seen. 
 

I would reluctantly partake in more rounds but the movies I care about are dwindling rapidly.
