Technically NOT a hit, but probably more valuable than most of our hits this month!

Okay.

So we have a couple of issues here.

First, I misunderstood what WestCoastSkinsFan meant for Tiebreaker 3. What he meant was if anyone had /both/ a owned and drafted team. If no one did, then random. However, there /was/ a person with both an owned and drafted team -- Westcoastskinsfan himself.

Because of my confusion, and because both he and I are involved in the tiebreakers here, we want to put this up to a vote for here and future:

How should we handle cards which have made it through the 2nd tiebreaker -- and are still tied, like the 8-way?

Also, how should we handle the 8-way? I'm withholding my vote for the meantime because if I have to re-random the points card, I'm in for it -- so I have a dog in the fight. That said, I lean towards keeping it the way I posted, because that's how I understood him at first.

Up to you 14, though -- vote away!

And on the tiebreaker in the future:

I'm absolutely fine with Tiebreaker #3 being "whoever has both a owned and drafted team" followed by a random.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

I'm going to abstain from actually casting a vote here, but I think we need to establish a more clear rule for multi-player cards. Granted, this was a bit of an extreme example, but we should still have clarity in advance of breaks.

Here's what I'm thinking...

Tiebreaker #1: Owned team wins. If a multi-player card only has one player from an "owned" team versus a draft team, it goes to the owned team.

Tiebreaker #2: Once we're down to owned teams only, the team with the least owned hits. So for example, if we have a dual GU with the Vikings and Patriots (both owned teams) whoever got the least hits for their respective team gets the dual.

Tiebreaker #3: If a card has more than 2 players, if someone has more "owned" players than anyone else, they get the card. If multiple people have the same number of "owned" players, but one also has a drafted player, the person who has the highest number of drafted players gets the card.

Tiebreaker #4: If the above doesn't break the tie, most number of TOTAL hits (autos, GU) passes on the card, and the person with the least gets it.

Tiebreaker #5: If there is still a tie, go to randoms for all people still involved.

A little complex, granted. But I think it's the most fair.

That being said, because we don't have a set rule for THIS month and so many people are involved, I think a random (to all those still tied) would be the most fair since we didn't have a set rule in place before the break.

Just FYI, I'm not going to be able to break for April either. I could use a hand for this coming month again, but I should be back on board for May.

And I don't think I've actually let you guys know what's going on yet! Starting in just a few days, I'll be WestCoastSkinsFan in name only. More appropriately, I'll be CentralTexasSkinsFan. I was recently promoted, and I'll be moving to San Antonio, TX. I'm in the process of buying a home and getting everything and everyone moved halfway across the country.

So, just know that I'm MIA for a reason, and I DO plan on being back in full force shortly.

As far as the tiebreaker goes, I'm good with whatever is decided. As long as there is something in place to determine tiebreakers and it is followed should these situations arise, I don't think there is any reason for anyone to complain.
As far as this break goes, please send me all cards.

We're going to try our best to convert him to a Dallas Cowboys fan while he's here in Texas.

If no one else replies, I'll do April as well unless people can make uStream work better for them!

On that note -- I still need to send out packages. I'm hoping to have everything out the door this coming weekend -- I've been sick the past wee, and still have a cough that keeps stealing my voice, yay.

Working on envelopes right now. Let me know if you guys do or don't want base.

[WestCoastSkinsFan]

No base.

Just wondering if the cards were sent out for this break. I have not received. Thanks!
