Apolyton Hockey Draft

[Tingkai]

Good Day Apolyton fantasy hockey managers. Ready for the draft?

I need to know who is who in order to keep track of the draft. So let me know your Poly name if it is not listed below.

Georgia Devils = Imran
Hoth JediKnights
Panchià Sloths
BC Stoner Bears
HK Canucks = Tingkai
Meowzers
Flooding CASA
Hexboy = dejon

[vlad]

BC stoner bears=vlad

[Ben Kenobi]

Naturally, I have the Hoth JediKnights.

[Tingkai]

The draft order will be:

Hoth JediKnights
Hexboy (dejon)
Georgia Devils = Imran
BC Stoner Bears
Flooding CASA
Panchià Sloths
HK Canucks = Tingkai
Meowzers

We'll work from top to bottom and back up to the top then back down and so.

[Ben Kenobi]

So how does this work? I just post a player, and then we continue?

[Tingkai]

We'll have to wait until the others show up. But, ya I guess just post your draft choice.

[Tingkai]

The chat room would be better, but I can't get it to work on my computer. Or maybe Yahoo messenger.

The drawback of doing it here is that you have to refresh to see who has posted.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Woohoo, I'm third .

[Ben Kenobi]

I'm on a uni computer, I could try to enter the IRC chat, but I've never done that before.

[Hot Mustard]

Using the thread is safest - nothing to teach anyone at the last minute.

I'm ready to pick second! and 15th! and 17th! ...

[Tingkai]

So who is missing?

[Hot Mustard]

[Ben Kenobi]

nothing to teach anyone at the last minute.

Seems to work fine on the IRC chat.

[vlad]

I want Gretzky, Orr, Espisito and Gump Worsley so lets draft

[Tingkai]

What do you mean?

[Tingkai]

I don't have IRC

[Ben Kenobi]

Okay,

we have Tingkai, vlad, dejon, Imran, Ben.

That's 5 of 8.

Who's left?

[Tingkai]

Okay, we're missing Sloth

Never mind, I forgot this one is Rotisserie style, not point-based.

[Tingkai]

Well Folks, Any ideas about what to do?

[Ben Kenobi]

Send sloth a PM.

Do we have any idea as to who the other two are?

[vlad]

none I know the point settings already

Do we even know who the other two are (other than Sloth)? Did any of them submit a ranking list?

[Tingkai]

Nope, not to me.

[vlad]

hmmmmm seems we have some late guys. Perhaps we need to postpone? or change to a live Yahoo draft for a different time? I have like 30 minutes left then I am gone for like 45 minutes

[Hot Mustard]

I am fine with postponing until vlad is back later, hoping that the others show up.

[Tingkai]

Yeah, this isn't working.

We have a couple of choices:
1) postpone and try a Poly draft on another day;
2) Do an auto-draft

[Tingkai]

Another option is to drop the teams we can't identify and then open up the league to other Yahoo players and get them to join Apolyton.
