I wanted to gauge interest in another season of fantasy water polo for the upcoming Men’s NCAA season.
Please reply to this thread if you’d like to participate and I’ll plan accordingly 
Thanks!

A weekly pick em pool could be fun.

And with that, we have a quorum!
More folks are encouraged to join but I’ll start building out the machinery to make it happen
I’m in - was fun last year (except for the missed roster deadlines )
The more, the merrier

hey all, you should have access to your draft here:
if you submitted a pre-season poll, I went ahead and just pre-populated your draft with your submissions. Feel free to tweak as desired.
@2pointer, if you want to submit a pre-season poll, let me know you’d added it and I’ll move the picks over
For anyone following along at home:
If you’d like to play, please DM me and I’ll get you setup.
For anyone who has already expressed interest, the link above should take you to your draft page.
Clark,
Are we using the same scoring categories as last year? Will all of the participants be in the same group? Realistically, how many schools do we need to rank?
Yes, same scoring categories, same shape of board members playing a couple of new folks.
So far, we have 8 participants and we allow a team to be picked twice but UCLA (or any team) cannot be “double rostered” onto your fantasy team.
It’s going to be a random order snake draft.
Looking at the relatively small deviation in WPEX polling, you’ll probably end up pretty deep into your draft order.
There’s ~50 teams eligible to be picked, assuming we all overlap across the top 15-20 picks.
There’s probably some mathematical model to get the precise answer but given 8-10 participants and each of the 50 teams has two opportunities to get picked, you can probably derive something interesting.
As an aside, I added this:
Originally it was just going to support polls but I added fantasy support as well.
Your favorite robot will likely be able to help you make a plan (or maybe even provide pick suggestions!)
when do you think the picks will be available? east coast games start early tomorrow/
Soon, I have a dataset built for the schedules and I’m going to start firing them into the fantasy league.
Will keep selection window open later
Teams are set!
5 categories where you can select one team’s match per category.
Picks open until tomorrow night due to the late start.
Let me know if I missed uploading any games.
Can you pick a game after it is over?
