Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a global shelter in place order remains in effect. Unfortunately, while you have your home, your family, pets, plants, kitchen, and all the amenities, you forgot to stock movies for entertainment. Due to a surge of internet use overwhelming the bandwidth and making internet streaming unreliable, you decided to order your favorite 20 movies for delivery.
Little did you know, your neighbors also forgot movies, and need their own set. Amazon has modified their ordering policy to only allow 1 movie per alphabet letter. Therefore, we shall have a draft to settle this civilly. Unfortunately, you only have the funds for 20 films…choose wisely!
Rules:
The pandemic continues…The stimulus check has finally cleared, and after bills, back taxes, and expenses you find a few extra funds for more movies. To complete your collection, you need 7 more films, one per letter. Fortunately, guidelines have loosened some!
Bonus Round Rules:
Due to popular demand, and to drive my brother nuts, the draft continues with a Bonus Bonus Round! Three picks more to make it an even 30 films.
Bonus Bonus Round Rules:
Little did you know, your neighbors also forgot movies, and need their own set. Amazon has modified their ordering policy to only allow 1 movie per alphabet letter. Therefore, we shall have a draft to settle this civilly. Unfortunately, you only have the funds for 20 films…choose wisely!
Rules:
- There will be 20 total rounds, and each list will include your favorite 20 letters with a single option for movie titles beginning with number(s) as well.
- You may draft letters in any order, just no repeat letters/number picks.
- “A”, “an”, and “the” do not count as a first letter, and the next word begins the title.
- For films that have different international titles, either version may be chosen, however, additional titles are off the board.
- Official title disputes will be settled by the imbd.com film page, please provide a link.
- All movies must have been released in theaters. No made-for-TV, no Netflix, no Amazon, etc. Too many of those films just aren't available for everyone to view and it's hard to expect people to vote for a bunch of obscure films no one (except you) has seen. You cannot pick a trilogy as one selection. Each movie is stand-alone. In addition, you cannot pick a "director's cut" or other version of a movie if someone else has already selected a different version. You can pick a remake, however. NO PORN.
- I am the commissioner. Registration, draft order, rule changes (if any), and any disputes/questions will be handled by me. VF21 and Jespher will provide assistance as needed, and I appreciate mod help and guidance as needed. Thanks!
- There is a time limit of 24 hours between picks. This becomes really important because of the worldwide distribution of our members. When you make your pick, it is up to you to send a PM (start a conversation) with the next person to draft so they know they're up. I will try to keep the board updated as quickly as possible. If the 24 hours expire, the pick goes to the next person. The missed pick may be made up, but only until your next pick comes around. At that point, the missed pick is forfeited. If you think you might be unable to post your pick in a timely manner, you can send it to another member of the board to post for you. It is then their responsibility to notify the person who is on deck. Make sure you check the lists of selected movies. If you pick a movie that has already been taken, your pick is forfeited. I reserve the right to replace any participant who misses more than two rounds. In the event that happens, the new person will be allowed to make catch-up selections to catch him/her up with everyone else.
- The draft will be NON-SERPENTINE. This means if you get #6 in the first round, you will have #6 in each subsequent round.
- No trades are allowed. Once you have selected a movie, it's yours for all eternity.
- EMBEDDING: Do not embed the full movie, even if you find it somewhere. In the past the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB.com) has served as the common source for information about movies so a link to them will suffice.
- After the completion of 20 rounds, we will conduct the playoffs with Kingsfans.com members voting in each round until an ultimate winner is determined.

Bonus Round Rules:
- Alphabetic pick may include first or last letter of any word in the title, including the number pick.
- Fill in letters may be made in any order, and do not need to be alphabetical.
- The draft order will remain, without change. Nice job so far all!
- Other predetermined rules remain for eligibility, although some TV would be nice, let’s stick with the original rules here.
- Please update earlier pick pages with your favorite awesome content to sell your pick and describe your preference for it. I have included links to the selection page and will use this for final rankings/playoffs.
