Powerball Draft Event Recap
Filed under: Powerball
Last night's draft event was a great success. There was a good turn out for the draft which went fairly smoothly. There was enough people there for four teams who played each other over three rounds. You can see how the teams were made up on this page (fear my 7th round pick).
Here's how the games went:
Unforeseen Squad: 3-0 (5-4 vs Malarky, 3-2 vs Devs, 6-4 vs fck it)
Malarky Squad: 1-2 (9-5 vs Devs, 4-5 vs unforeseen, 5-6 vs fck it)
fck it Squad: 1-2 (6-5 vs Malarky, 1-2 vs Devs, 4-6 vs Unforeseen)
Devs Squad: 1-2 (2-1 vs fck it, 2-3 vs unforeseen, 5-9 vs Malarky)
During the first two rounds of games the server died a few times which is why there's no stats. The next event will be held this coming Sunday. Sign ups will start at 7.30pm EST and will be open for an hour. After that the draft will start. Here's what Stagnate wrote on Powerballzone:
This is a great way for new players to play some competitive Powerball. The number of teams and roster size will be set up to match the numbers who sign up - so everyone who shows will get drafted and will play.
Also, this probably kills my own attempt to revive PB will a pyramid league. As I said in my first post about this the only reason I was starting a league was to get interested back into Sunday evening league play in PB. Stag has done it with this event and it doesn't look like we'll need anything else to rebuild the population back to where we can run a full Classic league or CashBall season.
See you Sunday.

This event will be run again next Sunday. Signup is from 7:30 - 8:30 EST, if you miss signup you WILL NOT PLAY! Stagnate promises to show up on time.
Traditional league map, without gates
8-10 players per team
30 minute games w/ Sudden death OT
Registered alias required to play
Again, signups start at 7:30 EST and last one hour. At that point we will run the draft, which could take as long as 30 minutes although I hope that it is much quicker.
Format could be round robin or single elim brackets, depending on the number of teams. Plan on playing 3 games.
