With a game of this nature, the only way to do matchups is random draw.

how can we be sure that's random?

Are "they" going to stream live the random draw?

I am leaning towards allowing trading for one 24 hour period following the 10th pick on Monday. I want to keep it to a minimum though. Too much trading defeats the purpose of the first come, first serve drafting.

It pays attention to your choice. You just need to think real hard about who you want to match up with when I draw names.

A "random" way to do the brackets is to do it alphabetically.

You could do it by post count. Highest post count against the lowest post count. Then work your way to the middle of the bracket.

Good idea. And that gives me a full week to pad my post count. Number one seed, here I come!

Not a pad -- just your daily reminder that there is still time to pick Q*Bert.

I'm neutral for the trading of picks. I don't really care either way. Just here to have a little fun.

I don't care either way about trading, but I think that even if it were allowed, none would actually take place. Trades would almost have to be a two-games-for-two-games (or maybe 3 for 3), and it just seems very unlikely that two people could find a trade that would be agreeable to both, given that our lists are only ten games long to begin with.
