maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted May 16, 2022 The "don't steal" bit - does that mean literally once a pick is in, s/he's banned from every other team? Or is it more like the D L Cup where we need some variation on each team so no two get the same points? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
