That's right. It's time for this:



Mixed with this:

The Third Draft, won by @tom (Back to any player, any time)

The Second Semi-Final will be hosted by JediMaster1511 and will be blue shells vs. Midland City Gutless Wonders
The Final will put the winners against each other and will be hosted by me.
For each semi-final, via Random Number Generator, the team listed first shall have home court advantage.
For the Final, SEXY TRAIN will have home court advantage if they advance, Midland City Gutless Wonders will have home field advantage if they advance and SEXY TRAIN does not, and LeBron's Frontrunners will have home court advantage in an all-tom finals match-up.
All Series will be in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.

And with that, I'm going to turn it over to the GMs to post their lineups, RX and JM to run their games, and me to enjoy.
