DL’s GOP Presidential Candidate Fantasy League
OKAY… Tonight 7:00. On this thread. Two 3 person divisions. Division 1 will be, ME, Pandora and AQC. Division 1A will be Del Dem, Steve Newton and Prop Joe. I’ll deal cards to establish who has first pick in each division.
The league is open to 5 players per division. Division 1 is a $10.00 buy in (entertainment only/winner take all). We will each draft 4 candidates from the list compiled by Delaware Dem. Your team will accrue points based on the number of days they are in the race for the Republican nomination. So, for example, Rand Paul announced on April 7th. If he makes it all the way to the convention (July 18 2016) he will have been in the race for 468 days, netting his team 468 points. If John Bolton never enters the race, he will have been in the race for 0 days netting his team zero points.
Who is in?
1. Rand Paul
2. Ted Cruz
3. Jeb Bush
4. Marco Rubio
5. Ben Carson
6. Carly Fiorina
7. Mike Huckabee
8. John Kasich
9. Bobby Jindal
10. George Pataki
11. Rick Perry
12. Rick Santorum
13. Rick Snyder
14. Scott Walker
15. Donald Trump
16. Lindsay Graham
17. John Bolton
18. Bob Ehrlich
19. Jim Gilmore
20. Peter King
21. Mike Pence
Division 2 (5 Players) is a $5.00 buy in, draft day TBA.
Division 3 (5 Players) is a $1.00 buy in, draft day TBA.
I’m in!
Awesome. My first Division 1 foe. (I hope you don’t mind that I’m the chairman of the league and a player…?)
If I knew what that meant I might mind. 🙂
If there are disputes, I promise to resolve them in your favor.
I could go in for Division 1.
Sweet. Three more spaces open.
We’ll draw for draft positions and then do a back-and-forth style pick.
1, first
2, second
3, third
4, fourth
5, fifth
5, sixth
4, seventh
3, eighth
2, ninth
1, tenth
1, eleventh
etc…
I’m in… If you’re serious about money, let me know where to send it!
Do we get a bobble head of the candidate as a prize?
I’m in.
That’s division 1 booked up. Hold onto the money and we’ll settle up after the Republucan convention.
I’m in!!!
I have you down as the first entry in Division 2. Hold onto your five bucks and we’ll settle up at the end. BTW – You and I are still in direct competition with each other, the Governors Cup will be awarded to top scorer across all the divisions.
Ted Cruz announced on March 23rd, so he could potentially net his team 481 points if he makes it all the way to July 18th 2016. You have to see Cruz, Bush, Rubio, Paul, and Walker going in the first round. The league winner will probably be the person who makes good second and third round picks. Someone who will announce soon and stick around for a long time.
AQC, Pandora, Steve, DD, and Prop Joe – check in to this thread if you are going to make the draft time of 7:00pm tonight.
Gotcha.
I’ll be there
Okie-dokie!
I will be there.
Jason: I’m actually setting a reminder in my phone and will tell the kids to “Pipe Down… Dad’s doing a GOP draft… I’ll feed ya when I’m done.”
lol sounds good.
Rumor has it that Ted Cruz left a campaign stop early today due to tightness in his elbow… Headed for an MRI and consultation with Dr. James Andrews tomorrow. Has to affect his draft stock.
12 minutes
I’m hurrying to get what I need done!
6 min. I just cut a deck of cards. Div 1 Pandora goes first. then AQC then Me.
Div1A goes Del Dem, then Prop Joe, then Steve.
You’ll have to trust me on that
Pandora will be on the clock in 4 minutes. SO exciting!!!
I’m here. If a family circumstance forces me to leave early (which I’m trying to avoid), pandora has my proxy for any remaining rounds.
Being third means I get selections 3 and 4, right?
Hopefully Div 1 will go quickly for ya
Yep
