Historical Figures Draft Tournament - Round 1

(1/4) > >>

charlie:
Time for the Deserted Island Historical Figures Draft Tournament. I used the randomizer to randomly select seeds from 1-9:

Playoff Seeds (Draft Order in Parentheses)


* drakkenkorin (6)
* micah (8)
* JaWiB (5)
* ober (4)
* Duwenbasden (3)
* kermi3 (1)
* charlie (2)
* axon (7)
* PJYelton (9)
The idea is to vote for your favorite collection of historical figures. Pick one list for each matchup (one for each color). You can use any rationale you like for making your votes. You can vote for yourself.

Since we have 9 entrants there will be a "play-in" match between the randomly selected bottom two teams, in this case axon and PJYelton. I also included some first round matchups so we can spread out the voting a little. The poll expires in 4 days.


(I'll post the individual lists below to refresh your memory...)

sorry for not making all the picks guys - been kind of busy and I didn't want to pick just anybody.

But damn, even I had to vote for PJY - great list.
