Zap 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Ranking your players is a pain in the ASS That is the only thing I don't like about it though. Does anybody know if their draft room categorizes players by position? Yes, it categorizes by position, and there's an import feature to send your rankings right into the draftroom. I'm working on getting RLLD signed up team 8, and from the last email it sounds like the problem's been solved. 420 may be using ex-member t.j to draft his team, but maybe not. I mention all of that, because as soon as those two spots are filled, I will "open" the draft room for all of us. I would have done so already, but there is a warning in the commish tools about opening the room before having everyone signed in, the rules tripled checked, etc. I expect to open it tomorrow. No one will be able to pick players until I "start" the draft. You will have access to the room to check out the player lists, tools, etc. Also, ALSO!@!@ I see no harm in "starting" the draft Friday if people want to come by and make their first round selections. Who knows? We could be a round or two into this before we hit it live Sunday night. This will only happen if 420 gets signed in and drafts 1.01, so I cannot promise anything at this point. t.j and 420 have known each other a long time, so proxy drafting for 420 is perfectly fine if he cannot make it.

Zap 0 Posted August 25, 2005 im down for whatever, id like to get it started friday, if its no timer. I won't even consider a timer until 6pm pdt Sunday. It took us too long to get that time set in stone. I'm just saying I'll "open" the draftroom tomorrow, hopefully, so you all can check it out, then I may "start" it Friday and allow anyone who happens to be up to go ahead and pick if they want. No timer, no biggie if no one picks at all. RLLD has taken his seat at the league home finally. We just need 420 to come aboard and I'll make the draftroom available. I'm worried about that guy, but I have a solid replacement for the draft if necessary. Also, in another league a commish had a good idea for the draft and bestowed temporary commish powers on me. I'll only use them should he lose his connection or something. Any volunteers here to have my back should something go wrong on my end during the draft?

Sisters of No Mercy 0 Posted August 26, 2005 I'm down to go ahead and start the draft. It would be nice to have a couple rounds finished before we kick it into gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel07 0 Posted August 26, 2005 no team 1 or team 8 listed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zap 0 Posted August 26, 2005 RLLD is team 8. He didn't name his team is all. 420 is team 1. I have substitute drafter for him, but he needs to contact me sometime tomorrow or I may let someone else just take the team... rather than a proxy for the draft. From the very few emails I have, 420 insists he wants his spot back, and he will make it to the draft. I feel bad for him having serious health problems and all, but I just don't know.

Diesel07 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Oh, well it still says team 8. How much time are you going to give 420 befoer you decide to use a replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zap 0 Posted August 27, 2005 That's what he decided to name his team TEAM EIGHT!! I'm giving 420 until 9 tonight. I he hasn't made it by then, toonz gets the invite, if he doesn't sign in quickly, t.j is ready to move on this by midnight. The draftroom will be available for all of us first thing in the morning. Two picks will be made late tonight more than likely. I haven't tossed a coin yet on Culpepper and Manning, but I need a QB at 1.02, that's for sure. I'll email and post a final set of instructions etc., sometime tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel07 0 Posted August 28, 2005 i have no gameplan for the draft as of yet. I hate the dredded 10 spot. decisions decisions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zap 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Well, I had the 10 last year and I really liked it. I came very very close to repeating in this league, and the year before I won it from the 12. I know exactly how'd I'd play it from there this year. I don't know how it would work out, but I know who 3 of my first 4 players would be. That's for sure. As it is, I'm really going to reach for one of them too early, but he won't come back to me... soooo. We'll see if I'm either crazy or smart when the truth is I'm either lucky or stupid. I hope it's lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
