Rotisserie Poker

The Batfaces are putting together a fantasy poker thingy. (Sorry, you\’re not invited — you know, beta version.) But anyhow, I have to pick a bunch of players. I have no idea how the actual rules of this thing will work — what tournaments qualify, which don\’t, how we get to add or drop players on our team — so basically I am left just trying to figure out who will kick ass (tourney-wise) in 2007.

Any suggestions? Draft is apparently tonight.

Here are the end results for 2006, as per CardPlayer. Bluff has their own tournament player ranking system … and in fact, they used to have a whole fantasy poker thingy. But I can\’t seem to find it. Perhaps they simply concluded that the whole concept was a waste of time?

UPDATE: Some clarification on the rules, via Sommer and Tiny B (one of whom may or may not be the commissioner) …

4 free agent pick ups for the year, plus trades will be allowed. you will not be given a players points retroactively. If you pick up a free agent on April 1, you will get that players points for the rest of the year.

Can we drop players and pick up \”free agents\” once we start? Say I\’ve got a \”hot tip\” on a player that I know no one else would pick will it make sense for me to NOT include him on my list since there is no need to snag him right from the start? <<

list your top 20, we will randomize a draft order, then go sequentially thru everyone\’s list in turn and take your top player left. I think we are shooting for 8-10 players per person, but if there are not enough unique players we will draft we what can and then maybe pick up free agents in turn.

How many picks do we make? And we can pick anyone for all of them?

To all of you who said you were in for Fantasy Poker. I need your draft
lists. Simply rank your desired players in order and we\’ll put together
teams based on those lists. I have lists from Shane, Zach and myself.
That is it.
