OB1 33 Posted March 7, 2005 We need to figure out when to have the rookie/FA daft. I will be gone the first two weeks of June on my honeymoon in Hawaii so don't expect it to be then. I am proposing May 9th as the start date. Please let me know if this is a problem for anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilzone 0 Posted March 8, 2005 May might be a good month for a 16-team league since July or August could get screwed up by vacations and also grandpahoo's plastic surgery, which I believe is scheduled to take the entire months of July and August to complete. You can't fix something that ugly in a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoisjgalt 0 Posted March 9, 2005 It's only four rounds, so we ought to be able to knock it out in a week or so. Wait - I forgot about the ICEFOCKER. We better start frafting now. It's sad that the EFOCKER seems to be a speed frafter by comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoisjgalt 0 Posted March 9, 2005 May is fine. Or we can start right after you return from Hawai'i. Let's just have it done by the time July starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoisjgalt 0 Posted March 9, 2005 I vote for doing it after the deadline for players to retire. Thank you. :headscratch: You're worried about your rookie pick retiring before he signs a contract? I guess paranoia doesn't mean that they're not really after you ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ICEMAN 39 Posted March 9, 2005 It's only four rounds, so we ought to be able to knock it out in a week or so. Wait - I forgot about the ICEFOCKER. We better start frafting now. It's sad that the EFOCKER seems to be a speed frafter by comparison. I heard that, you dope! Just for that, I'm gonna fraft all the players that you want! How's that sound? Hhhmmmm? Just send me the list of players that you want ahead of time. OK? ICEMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMoney 0 Posted March 10, 2005 I think in order to maximize our frafting speed you guys should as a rule place ICEMAN at one end of the draft and me at the others so you only have to deal with us once every 2 rounds. Also, congrats to OB1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grandpahoo 9 Posted March 10, 2005 Ok, I'll be the huge pain in the ass: May: Up to May 5 is bad. Mid-May is ok. I have a hearing near the end of May (date TBD) that will put me out of commission for that entire week. Should know the date by Friday. June: Big trial currently scheduled for June 20 and 21. It may settle before that. If it doesn't, June will be almost as ugly as I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That gives us three weeks to draft before I go away, plenty of time. Once the 27th hits i'll be completely unavailable. I'll update the thread with that date and see if anyone complains.

grandpahoo 9 Posted March 12, 2005 Also, thanks to everyone for the congrats. Oh...congrats. Starting May 9 should be good for me. My hearing is May 24, so the days leading up to that could be busy. But by that time we'll probably be near the end anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Buffington 3 Posted March 12, 2005 the week of may 9th is not that great for me. We have several inhouse seminars scheduled. I'll have access but not for hours at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Unknown Soldier 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Hmm..new development. I'll be moving either end of April or first couple weeks of May. I plan to have the INTAH-NET hooked up before I move in, but I'm just sayin'... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMoney 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Here is an idea. Why don't we just skip the rookie class this year. This way next year's rookie draft will be focking stacked. That would be so fitting for this focked up league. Count me in for voting yes for skipping the rookie draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OB1 33 Posted March 15, 2005 the week of may 9th is not that great for me. We have several inhouse seminars scheduled. I'll have access but not for hours at a time. Does anyone else have a big problem with the 9th? Buffy, will you have any kind of access like cellphone (text message, not calling). It's only a 4 round rookie draft, so it shouldn't take THAT long. We could try to start on the 16th I guess. I rather not wait until June because after not being at work for over 2 weeks, i'm going to be swamped for sure, and jumping into a draft won't be the best thing, plus hoo is saying June will likely be the worst time for him too.

I think I had something similar last year and was able to keep up. That was because I was picking next to CMT. He took sooooo long I 'd come back expecting people to be waiting on me, but he was still on the clock after 12 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
