10. Little Big Man

and yes, I favor the trade day idea.

Round 10. Lawrence of Arabia (Limited Edition) (2-disc with reprod. Booklet)

Even as someone who can get in at 9:00 basically I do not favor a trade day, primarily because there aren't enough good picks for everyone to trade out one dvd and received one dvd, instead there are essentially three or four dvds that everyone would like to steal for their collection and it will just turn into a mess. People made their 10 picks (hopefully without assuming they could trade one of them; I imagine no one made a bum choice just to have something to trade). I say we stick with 'em.

A Trade day would be fine with me. One more day of the madness!!! Question though: lets say person A trades in a dvd for one in the pool; do the rest of us have a chance to trade a dvd for the dvd that person A swapped in?

I say lets start the tourney. Not enough DVDs to go around, and I'm psyched as hell for the tourney.
P.S. - You are all playing for second

Sweet Baby James 09-12-05 12:08 PM

Final pick-The Adventures of Robin Hood SE(Errol Flynn)

I say let the tourney begin-no trade day.:)

I think that is what Duhon had said to the other ACC players the year he got second place for Player of the Year.

My final pick- Yi Yi

I say we just go with the picks we made along the way.

thanks! never realized this. :)

I too think we should not have a trading round. You keep the titles you picked. But who will we get to manage the 5 or so dead teams?

Groucho 09-12-05 12:46 PM

The dead teams will be dropped from the tourney, which means some of you will get a first-round bye.

We could just continue to match those spots up with players and use the dead teams to give some players free rounds. That way it all still works out even.
Edit: This post is pointless being that Groucho beat me to the post.

John Sinnott 09-12-05 12:58 PM

So how will the tournament work? Will the players vote, or is anyone eligible? Are we going to get a chance to make a case for our picks, or do we just post the lists? I wouldn't mind letting everyone write a short paragraph for each film they selected.

That would be an interesting idea, but if we go that route, I am not in favor of voting starting till next week, I think some folks would need time to write up their paragraphs. If we want to just get going I think it should just be the lists posted.

IDrinkMolson 09-12-05 01:06 PM

Incase you missed my #9: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showpos...&postcount=534
I didn't see it updated on the first page yet.

#10 LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring EE

I say no trade, there doesn't look like enough good picks to go around. I see some will get byes, but how will the seeds be set by draft pick # (1 vs. 32; 2 vs. 31?) or random?

darkhawk 09-12-05 01:09 PM

I say no trade. Let's get this party started!

Dude, seriously? You think we just all forgot about that for ten rounds, it went the first round to Jfrost.

Maybe it's the Molson talking. :)

10th and final round pick: Wings of Desire

Oh, I forgot to add that I vote no trade.

Franchot 09-12-05 01:34 PM

# 9--Replacement pick--Woody Allen Collection #3, 1982-1987
#10--The Sound Of Music--Five Star Collection

I'm in favor of the trade.

Groucho 09-12-05 02:15 PM

I'm going to let anybody and everybody vote.

I'll post up the list of collections, and if you want to write a paragraph "defending" your selections, you'll be free to do so in the voting thread.

RyoHazuki 09-12-05 02:19 PM

I don't know if the paragraph thing is a good idea. It could come down to the users writing skills as opposed to the actual dvds picked.

ryuryu2949 09-12-05 02:38 PM

I like the parapraph thing, but only if you limit the number of words (say 100?). It gives the competitor a chance to tie in his/her collection with a theme.

Nesbit 09-12-05 02:56 PM

For my DVD Talk peeps I'm picking Good Burger next.
