1. Draft picks are "first come, first serve."

2. Rounds will begin every 24 hours at 12 PM EST (excluding weekends). The DVDTalk server clock will be the official timekeeper, so watch your timestamps! Any picks made outside the official time will be ignored. You'll need to repost them within the correct time frame.

3. For each round, players can draft one video game for one console or portable system (for example: “Super Mario Bros. – NES”).

4. Once everybody has drafted 10 video games, we’ll have a bracket tournament. You’ll be randomly paired up, and the forum will vote on who has the best collection.

5. Restrictions:

a. You can only draft two video games per system.

b. Computer games are ineligible

c. Compilation games are ineligible. Compilation games are defined as games in which there is no default game to play as opposed to games where additional games are available as special features.

d. You cannot draft a video game that as already been drafted by drafting a “special edition” of that game and vice versa. (for example: If a contestant has drafted “Doom 3 CE - XBox”, you cannot draft “Doom 3 - XBox”). The same game can be drafted for different systems, however.

e. Game must be released at time of selection. Release dates are determined by gamestop.com.

6. The field will be limited to 16 players. If we do not reach 16 contestants, there may be several players who receive a “bye” in the first round of voting.

7. If you miss two rounds in a row, you may be replaced with an alternate. Alternates will enter the game in a "first come, first serve" fashion when this occurs, and will "inherit" the existing collection. But once a game is taken there are no circumstances where it will be reentered in the pool.

8. SPECIAL NOTE: This game will take approximately two weeks to play (weekdays only). Please do not sign up if you don’t think you can play the entire time.

9. Draft picks will be tracked in the second post of this thread.

10. After all the “collections” have been drafted, the bracket tourney will begin, and continue for four rounds until we have a grand champion.

11. Good Luck!
