Sloww, just set your team up however

Ok, looking forward

Thanks Slowwhand fer your offer to do an autodraft

[SlowwHand]

No problem. I'll likely do better this way.

Set up my team? You mean after the draft?
I'm cooperative, not stupid.

[snoopy369]

No, i mean set up your autodraft

[SlowwHand]

I don't know how.

[snoopy369]

Yes you do :P You know, that thing you use to set up your offline drafts, putting guys on one side or the other ...

[SlowwHand]

Oooh. Ok. I just did that as a means to keep up.
Just BAPAY away. Save me from myself.

Couple questions since everyone has a different way:

1) Is there a timer on the draft? (Like 5 minutes to draft your pick)

2) We post here when we make our selection?

I ask because I saw in one thread it had a listing of the draft order followed by the actual pick the person had made.

Looking forward.

No, it would be on Yahoo. However i'm leaning towards putting it off once again, since we still have at most four people. Not sure where DD is but maybe he'll be back during the week.

What weeknights could people draft on?

How long does a draft usually take?

I say that because I get home around 5-6 pm and usually go to bed between 9-10 pm EST, depending upon what time I need to be up next day, ranging from 3am to 530 am.

Draft usually takes an hour to an hour and a half based on how many people are in it. A 6 person draft would be under an hour i'd think.

It's 1 minute per pick, iirc, and less than 20 picks/player, so for 6 people it's 120 minutes if we took the whole time, and on average you'd take about half the time.

Weeknight we'd probably aim for 7-8 pm EST if we don't have any pacific coast people. If we do, then it's a lot harder. However I think we're all east or central folks.

I'm hesitant to schedule it labor day weekend - among other reasons, i won't be able to make it - so weeknight at this point looks best...

I'll schedule it for thursday night at the moment, and we'll see what happens. Thursday just because it's the furthest point in the future.

Im good with Thursday

One very important item we need to look at though, I have 3 PC's at my home.

One is Vista (Mine) and 2 are XP.

JAVA is necessary for the live draft, VISTA has many problems associated with it and no resolution on getting JAVA to run in unison.

I simply went to our third PC and I am ready.

Me and the missus are doing our own fun league versus each other, this is how I found this out.

Just a little heads up.

So in other words, you finally have your nest all built, ready to go?

[Grandpa Troll]

I did something wrong, and worked around it.

I have never actually set up a draft (Live)

Me and the missus did yesterday, we picked in time (which counts down on left top screen)

But the PC picked players for me on at least half of my first 10 picks.

I got with my wife and I simply cleared the rosters of all the teams and we just went in the order Yahoo gave us and picked our choices off waivers.

I was thinking if there was a list of the top picks that I didnt set up, maybe it picked off that list?


Have we thought about entertaining a Points league, versus head -to-head matchups?

Me and my sweetie decided to do this as we would be not only playing each other but also playing our own teams.


Ok

Looking forward

I held ours yesterday Snoopy369, and we had 25 spots on the team, is our league less?

Thanks in advance
