Draft Day 2011

[Oompa Midgets]

I don't know how the email draft will look. You may be able to respond to the email selections. But you can always keep the Smack flowing here.

what i meant was... are you going to set it up online and input the selections as they are made? i remember people being able to draft remotely in previous years.

vegas currently has my team with the best odds of winning the championship this year, and i don't want to let them down

Stupid Hog, it's called "Live Draft Room."

I'm still looking at Sunday the 28th as the best day. Anthony and Mick can make it by mid-afternoon (2pm or after). Scott can't do it at all on Sunday.

I'm trying to convince Scott to try the dreaded "AutoDraft" feature on MyFantasyLeague.com. It looks like they have improved it from a simple list of players to allow you to choose which position to choose in each round. I may even try it since I am "sticker boy"!

A weekday is still a possibility, but Shane can only do Mondays.

Also, I haven't been able to get in touch with Clement's friend that was interested in the abandoned team. So we are still missing an owner.

I am in the same league that stops Scott from doing it on 28th. We didnt know we were going to be backed into the 28th until late. That is why I was was trying to help this thing along last week. That draft wont get going roughly till 3 or 4 and I know he prepares with food and stuff which almost knocks him out. I could do mine online if I had too but it would be real tough for him. Lets do 12 rounds onlne and call it a day or maybe you can figure something else out.

I could possibly make fri night 26 availble if that helps.

I have 2 drafts on 28th any possibility of moving this thing up 30 mins or an hr? The other starts at 3:30. Any help would be appreciated. This league moves very fast so a small amount of time could help out alot. Or I dont know; enforce the draft timer maybe?

I think only Mick and Anthony had a problem with noon draft. We can start the draft as soon as they are available. Always the biggest problem is starting on time.

Ways to help the draft for this league go quicker or start earlier:

1) Maybe we can start the draft a earlier.

2) Everyone actually show up on time for whatever the draft time is set for.

3) We could set up a poll for any issues we want to discuss and have owners vote on them before the draft so we dont waste time with it at the draft.

4) Make sure to enforce the pick timer. If your pick isnt in at the alloted time, we keep going, they can get their pick in when they get it in.

5) We didnt take any breaks in the league one draft since we started so much later. There is usually enough time between picks to smoke a cigarette, use the bathroom, or get more food. I say we do the same for this draft....keep it moving.

These are just a few suggestions. If you have any to add, feel free.

I should be able to make it by 1pm if that helps.
