Draft is just a few hours away, at 9pm EST (6pm PDT)!!!
The list of contestants is finalized, and we landed on 12 players.
So 24 SBD each equals a prize pool of 288 SBD.
I'm converting some of the buy-ins from USD into SBD, so just give a little time for the full prize pool to show up in my wallet. But it will be stored in the savings of my wallet throughout the year.
And as I've been saying, we can definitely convert the prize pool to BTC if we'd like, whenever we want. And if we do that, I'll leave it on Bitshares as open.btc where again it can be viewed publicly.
Six teams will advance to the playoffs, with the top two teams getting a bye week. Playoffs will be Week 14, Week 15, and Week 16.
The prize pool will be distributed as follows:
1st place: 50%
2nd place: 25%
3rd place: 12.5%
Regular season points leader: 7.5%
Highest weekly score of the year: 5%
If people hate this breakdown we can definitely consider changing it. Pretty standard though other than the highest weekly score.
The highest score thing is fun because it creates an additional payout that everyone can play for even if they're out of contention.
Good luck in the draft everyone!
And while drafting kickers isn't something you'd prioritize anyways, please do note the rules and that they're nerfed and pretty pointless to draft.
