Who commished it in the past?

yeah I'll do it ... straight pick 'em, no bullshit point spread nonsense
we can do the confidence points if folks want, that would be in lieu of point spreads ... in case there are those not clear, confidence points are where you rate your picks, from 1 through 16 ... so it adds a little bit more to the effort than just picking the games ... when it gets closer to the season, I'll ask for votes : straight pick 'em OR straight pick 'em with confidence points
oh, and DaDitka?

I restarted my fantasy league from last year about a week ago.
5 teams haven't rejoined so far. The teams that haven't joined are:
Bottom Dwellers
Gimmeyourlunch$$
The Isotopes
Swamp Donkeys
&
Bedman
I’m not going to worry about filling spots for a few weeks but if one of the missing teams is yours and you'd like an invite sent to a different email address? PM me here and I'll certainly get that invite off to you.

There have been a few 'issues' with the draft date. I was just trying to get a feel for what works best...
Keep the date/time
Have it that morning
Have it on a week night
Have it on a Friday nigh
What says you?
Personally, I'd love to wait until August 27th - 29th so every teams has played their preseason week three game and there is little chance of stars getting injured.......but those are weeknights which may not work for everyone and I'm out of town at DaDoc's weeding the next weekend.
So let's sound off and see what works best for the majority and we'll roll with that.
Only IE has responded so far and he has requested a week night......any other input guys?

No doubt that the later the draft date the better for knowing exactly the status of players. All things considered, I'm good with whatever as far as time and date goes. If I can't make the draft, I'll just deal with the screwing the yahoo auto draft hands me.

Anyone????????
OK, I'm going to move the draft to Tuesday the 28th at 7 PM.
We are also still looking to find an 11th owner so that Doc can play (at a total of 12 players)

I don't even know when this shit is now, but it probably doesn't matter - I'll probably spend a bunch of time making a bunch of FA moves to build a decent team... and come in 2nd like most of the time. (sucks)

You bastards. I wiggled into a morning shift today and was excited I'd actually be able to draft live this year. I think I missed the last 2 years. And then this switching business crops up. I just have to pray I dont get a closing shift whatever day we decide. Gonna drive me nuts.

Sorry Snake...
I had posted here a few times and even sent everyone an email (through Yahoo) and only a few responded so I did the best I could to accommodate everyone.
I believe we are currently looking at Wednesday the 29 around 7 - 7:30 central unless I hear anything else from others that can' make that.

I guess I could draft for you if you can't because of work. Or someone else could sack up and play so I could get in.KOP_Snake wrote:You bastards.

PLEASE READ!!!!!!
The only times available for Wednesday the 29th are either before 4:30 Central or after 10...
There are no longer 6,7,8, or 9 o-clock slots for Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday that week either. We are currently scheduled for 7:30 on that Thursday.
I know the current draft is set for the same time as Roads and I'm willing to move it, but it's going to have to be very early in the afternoon or very late at night (or we can draft THIS week)
People please respond BEFORE hand this time. I can't work around peoples needs if they don't speak up.
We need to make a final decision on this as time slots are disappearing very quickly.
I will make the FINAL date/time change tomorrow at 3:30 so speak up now.

If you move it to Wednesday, either early in the afternoon (4:30ish) or after 10 would work for me. If I were to give a preference about that Wednesday, I would vote after 10.DaDitka wrote:PLEASE READ!!!!!!

Shouldn't a fine young college man like yourself be trying to get laid or be drunk by 10 on a Wed night? If not things are different from when I was in school.RING4CHI wrote:DaDitka wrote:PLEASE READ!!!!!!
about that Wednesday, I would vote after 10.
