SBR Fantasy Tennis Coalition Official DRAFT THREAD

[EaglesPhan36]

It's the way things go because we've got several Aussies in the draft. Big time difference. At this point, what we're going to do is just go with everyone's first five pcks as their roster for the Australian Open. That's regardless of how many women or men you have picked right now. I think it's the only fair way to go right now since there is no way we'll finish much more before the tourney starts tonight.

I think there is only one injury that has a player announced out of the tournament - Isner. So Cross, I will allow you to pick up a player as a sub [MEN'S PLAYER] just for this tournament and then they will go back into the draft pool.

[Optional]

Oi! I don't think us Aussies did that much holding up!

Shari posted something about staying in a hotel over the weekend, so considering it's 7.55am Monday morning there, I'm guessing she is still enjoying a good sleep in... or something.

[EaglesPhan36]

No big thing. Check your e-mails, pretty much said the same thing I posted above. Your rosters for the AO will be the players you have drafted through the first five rounds.

Draft will continue as we go.

[MUHerd37]

So the Aussie Open counts?

[EaglesPhan36]

Yes. That was the whole point of skipping last week's tournaments was to try to get the draft done this week for the Australian Open.

[JNic]

Lol that's bs though cause I purposely didn't draft any women and got stosur as my one women player.. Haha I don't wanna complain but everyone has all these top 20 women and all I got is stosur, now results be all skewed

[JNic]

I mean its fine though you took all this time out to make this, nothing you could do we couldn't draft in time

It might work out for you. On the surface I'd prefer 4 men and 1 woman probably.

[EaglesPhan36]

I mean if enough people are annoyed with not having a complete roster to go with, we can skip the Australian Open I suppose - but that was the tournament I had marked for the first one of this stretch of the season since we skipped last weeks to try to get the draft done. I'll go with whatever the majority wants.

[Optional]

I'm cool

[Jrod124]

I vote for the Aussie, but its 40 points so I don't care either way what we do. This is designed to be fun and if we start when we finish this draft that is cool. Though I did draft my team because Cilic is the top seed in Zagreb and Chardy is the 2 seed in Vina del Mar so hopefully we can finish by then.

[EaglesPhan36]

If we aren't done by the end of the Australian Open, we've got problems.

All that and you took someone who has been off the board since Round 2. LoL. Try again when you get a chance.
