OK, so when are we drafting?

[giff57]

Any thoughts? We do need to get going soon.

 

[Tide]

My friendly pay league isn't' drafting until Sept 3 the season starts VERY late this year.

 

[giff57]

My pay league is drafting on he 5th

 

[Hink]

Can we try the 30th, 31st or 1st?

 

[Tide]

31st and probably the 1st are tough before 8:30pm eastern. Sunday might be the best option, or I'll just set an auto-draft.

We did it at least that late last year to accommodate the west coasters, it may have been at 9 Eastern

My pay league drafted on the 13th of this month. Worst freaking thing ever and I won't join any league that does that shit ever again. Half my team is injured at this point so I basically wasted 50 dollars.

I can be on whenever pretty much.

 

[Duke Of Dystopia]

Monday through Thursday nights are best for me.

 

[MD Planner]

The last pre-season games are on the 3rd. Personally I'm all for drafting as late as possible (like the 8th or 9th) because I would imagine several of us may have Labor Day weekend plans and won't be around to particpate.

 

[giff57]

Let's try this: Fill out your preferred time in the Doodle poll: http://doodle.com/q2mqzgpr9crrkdbt

I also sent the link via league email

 

[giff57]

Ok I messed it up, but its fixed now. Land Sharks copuld you go back and edit your selections?

 

[AG74683]

I tried to select but I'm not certain it worked. I'm good for Monday-Friday 8 and 9 pm. Could be available at 7 but would prefer later...

 

[The One]

Yeah.....

Same here.....

 

[giff57]

with 6 votes in Monday at 8 or 9 EDT is most popular> 9 that night works best for me.

I will be around, but my Buckeye's are playing so I may have to yell at you all depending on how well the Hokies are playing.

 

[giff57]

Ok, let's do it Monday September 7, at 9PM EDT.

 

[Tide]

Ok, let's do it Monday September 7, at 9PM EDT.

I should be able to do this, we get home from Boy Scouts around 8:15

 

[UrbaneSprawler]

Ok, let's do it Monday September 7, at 9PM EDT.

Thanks for getting this coordinated. This works for me!

 

[AG74683]

Ok, let's do it Monday September 7, at 9PM EDT.

Sounds good to me. I'll be glad to be in a draft where I already know the hurt players. So stupid to draft prior to preseason.

 

[MD Planner]

Sorry guys but I guess I'm out. I can't do Monday (Labor Day) for the draft and I really don't want to spend the season with players that were auto-drafted. I think there was some interest from others on the board so hopefully you can find a replacement.

 

[Tide]

Oh that IS Labor Day, so Scouts is out but I don't know what else that day will bring. Probably nothing at night honestly. My annual league is Tuesday night so can't do that. How's Wednesday?

 

[giff57]

Monday was the only day that everyone that participated in the poll could do (The Landsharks selections were lost when I edited the poll). Players can be pre-ranked, so it isn't a total autodraft.

 

[The One]

Ok

Monday at 6PM Pacific Time

 

[giff57]

Ok, MD has given up his team and M'skis has joined.

 

[michaelskis]

I may have to drive my sister back to the airport during the draft, but I ranked players in the event that I can't make it.

The name has also been change to "Frost Bites"

Can we just order the draft according to standings from last year? Sub in any new teams for whomever they are taking over for if that is the case? Hardly seems fair for me to get the first overall considering I won last year.

Generally, unless you are doing keepers, you go with a random order. That said, I dont really care how we do it.

 

[The One]

Yeah.....

I don't care....I'll win this year in any case:h:

 

[michaelskis]

Well, if you guys don't care, I will pick my entire team, and you can have the remaining players.





In all seriousness, I think going with random order is the best way.

 

[Duke Of Dystopia]

Ok, please confirm that the draft is on

Monday, September 7.

What time central is 6pm pacific?

 

[giff57]

The draft is Monday September 7, at 9PM EDT. That is 8PM Central, 7PM Mountain, and 6PM Pacific. The yahoo site opens up 15 minutes early so you can get ready.

 

[Duke Of Dystopia]

Thank you for the clarification!

 

[michaelskis]

I was at the airport during the draft. It looks like I will have my work cut out for me this season.

 

[AG74683]

Tight End is my only weak position, but it's a really weak position in the NFL anyways. There are really only 4 TE's of value in the league right now.
