VOTE NOW FOR THE CB DRAFT PLAYOFFS! FREE TP'S!

[indeedproceed]

Feel free to vote between now and Friday at 6:00. DO NOT SEND VOTES TO MY FAFNIR ACCOUNT, I will just delete them. You may not vote for your own team so just exclude them, and you are also required to vote for both conferences if you vote.

Voting is open to all Celticsblog members. GM teams may only vote once, I will be counting the first ballot I receive from each GM team.

Send them to CB Draft Voting. (you click on the green part)

Other guidelines:

* Ballots should be by Conference, ranked 1 through 15.

* The first three slots on a ballot do *not* need to be reserved for the three division winners; if you think the two best teams are in the same division, rank them 1st and second.

* GMs may *not* vote for their own team.  If a GM is participating in ranking of his own conference, his ballot should be ranked 1 through 14.  There should be no blank spots on the ballot, etc.; rankings should take place as if the GM's team did not exist.

* For teams with Co-GMs, only one ballot per team can be submitted.  If both co-GMs submit ballots, the first GM to have submitted a ballot will have his vote counted.

* The tie-breaker procedure is described in the CB Draft rules.

* The Commish may reject any ballot for any reason.  Incomplete ballots (that do not rank all teams) will not be counted.

* Seeding for playoff matchups will follow current NBA rules.  Home court advantage will be determined by playoff seed.

TP's will be randomly given by Fafnir for all submitted votes.

Sorry, I don't mean to be thick, but I need the following clarified:

* The first three slots on a ballot do *not* need to be reserved for the three division winners; if you think the two best teams are in the same division, rank them 1st and second.

So, are these power rankings, 1-15 in each conference, or playoff seedings (plus the remainder of the conference)?

I have serious problems with putting a default division winner ahead of some second and third place divisional finishers. [Atlantic Division, I'm looking at you.]

Slot the teams by in each conference by anticipated wins, most at #1, to least at #15. Fafnir will sort out the playoffs from there.

Wow just 9.5 ballots!!!!!

I would have bet the house 2 weeks ago that we would have had 25 votes by now.

Of course given the recent lull in the game due to GM lack of participation in the pressers and the holiday weekend, I guess maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Though, we still have over 24 hours left so there's still tons of time left.

Well i see EJPLAYA up there lurking, hopefully he votes.
