COLLEGE HOOPS
For the second consecutive year, we conducted a
college hoops team draft on our weekly
FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER
program on
SportsTalkNetwork.com as a means of demonstrating to the readers,
viewers and listeners of FDH content how to take their enjoyment of college
hoops to the next level with a pool to be enjoyed among friends. As
with any sports that we cover, we furnish suggested league guidelines for
your convenience. So we'll start with that, then furnish our draft
board.
SUGGESTED LEAGUE GUIDELINES
^ A standard serpentine-style draft serves as
the best place to begin.
^ The ideal distribution of talent would be as
follows: 5 teams drafted by 8 owners, 6 teams drafted by 7 owners, 7 teams
drafted by 6 owners or 8 teams drafted by 5 owners.
^ Points should be divided equally between
success in the regular season/conference tournaments and in the NCAA
tournament.
^ Regular season point distribution should come
in the form of a "snapshot" of the Associated Press Top 25 poll on the
following dates: December 31, January 14, January 28, February 11, February
25 and March 12. On those dates, points would be allocated in the
following manner: 1st place (100 points), 2nd place (94 points), 3rd place
(91 points), 4th place (88 points), 5th place (85 points), 6th place (78
points), 7th place (75 points), 8th place (72 points), 9th place (68
points), 10th place (65 points), 11th place (58 points), 12th place (55
points), 13th place (52 points), 14th place (48 points), 15th place (45
points), 16th place (40 points), 17th place (36 points), 18th place (32
points), 19th place (28 points), 20th place (25 points), 21th place (22
points), 22nd place (18 points), 23rd place (15 points), 24th place (12
points), 25th place (10 points). Additionally, 90 points are to be
awarded to the winner of a regular season conference title and an additional
90 points to the winner of a conference title tournament.
^ The other half of the points, in the form of
NCAA tournament points, are to be distributed as follows: 50 points for
qualifying for the tournament, 100 points for one of your teams qualifying
as a #1, #2, #3, #4 seed in any region, 40 points for qualifying as a #5,
#6, #7 or #8 seed in any region, 40 points for winning a first-round
tournament game, 75 points for winning a second-round tournament game, 150
points for winning a third-round tournament game, 175 for winning a regional
final game, 250 points for winning a national semifinal game and 500 points
for winning the national title.
