I appreciate the positive comments I have seen so far. We do need to step up the tour and offer something more than the mundane 80/100 DH/NO DH events that has become our staple. If shuffles and once or twice a year 24 team events fits the bill and is a welcome addition to the tour, this will help to put it into the schedule for future events.

I think I achieved the shock and awe that I was looking for and the response in terms of people loading up their teams much faster than I expected. It seems to also indicate the most enthusiastic and positive first event to any previous Barnstormers Tournament. Yes Event #1 is challenging even the best players with the results of your autodraft.

I think we will see some interesting teams and perhaps some surprising early leaders come out of Event #1 as it starts playing.

I love the shuffle 24 team format.

Put your Billy Bean / MacGyver pants on and build a statistically competitive team from a reduced array of HOF type cards. Forget relying on your favorite [fill in the blank] roster scheme - that dog don't hunt anymore.

Great job!

Rick:

The 24 team shuffle is a great way to start. There's a whole lot more ingenuity and creativity (and luck, of course) required than with some of the "slow pitch softball" leagues that are frequently created. I am using players I didn't know we had -- they deserve a chance to show me what they can do. :)

Thanks to you and your board for another good job.

Very nice change of pace with Event 1, i'd like to see another one of these.

Yah, the shuffle is great. I feel as a newb to BS that I have a little more of a shot at being competitive with the shuffle rather than the entire ATG cardlist.

I agree, this is a great format. This is my first SOM tournament and the 24 team shuffle format is a great introduction. How about a 24 team shuffle with a $60 mil cap?
