ATD2025 Draft Thread Part II (Division Semifinal Voting Results in post #666)

[Hawkey Town 18]

Any time. How about a Sunday deadline?

It’s a holiday weekend here is the US with everyone having Monday off. Perhaps we should push it to Tuesday in order to accommodate those that may be traveling?

That's fine with me.

I've been swamped at work, but would love to look at the matchups and vote.

Gonna try to vote this evening. The deadline is tomorrow, right?

[Professor What]

Voted. Only felt confident in one series, the rest I had to spend some time thinking on.

There were some I felt had a clear winner, but nothing was a blowout. I had everything going at least 6 games.

 

[Habsfan18]

My apologies for being completely MIA. Have a lot going on. Will try to get my votes in tonight.

 

[rmartin65]

Man, there were a lot of really good teams this year and some very close matchups. Sometimes it's unfair to see teams bounced early but it's the way it goes with seeding. I had Savannah and Torpedo among the best teams in the entire draft and they didn't make it out of the divisional semis. I guess that speaks to the quality of the roster construction, overall, this year.

Thanks again Theo! Congrats to all teams, so many series were dead close.

 

[VanIslander]

Only one upset.

 

[nabby12]

Yep and it wasn't your series.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wasn't mine either.

Oh well, maybe next year.

 

[VanIslander]

Yep and it wasn't your series.

You are dead wrong.

4th seed defeats 1st seed.

The bottom seed defeating the top seed Ghost Pirates was the only upset.

1st seeds almost always get through the opening ATD playoff round.
