NHL Auction league--Sign-up and discussion

[Flubber]

Please nail that down ASAP. I set it for 1PM Eastern (10am Pacific) for now, but I will have more and more limited ability to change that as we get closer to the date (as times fill up).

I actually can't nail it down further. This weekend is evaluations so his ice time for next week and his group doesn't get told to us until Monday. All I know for certain is that it is Saturday morning between 9 and 1 (mountain time)

[Flubber]

Is this only going to be a four team league? We're a little short on registered teams at the moment.

six people signed upn this thread-- I haven't joined the league yet but I will

[snoopy369]

Well, that nails it down fine. I'll just set it for 3PM ET (1PM MT) and you'll be set [you use DST, right?] assuming 9-1 means it ends by 1 at the latest. Worst comes to worst you miss out on a few minutes' of stuff. [Or I could set it at 4pm ET, if nobody on the east coast cares about it being sort of lateish?]

So is this still on for Saturday?

People need to sign up on Yahoo if they're interested...

[Flubber]

1 pm Mountain should work fine for me-- thanks for the change

[mrboo123]

is the actual auction on Yahoo or ESPN?

[snoopy369]

ESPN. If you were in the league last year you should be still in it; anyone not in will need to be added. We really need to finalize the managers at some point...

errr--- snoopy-- I just got an email advising of a coaches meeting right after the hockey practice. Anyone that wants to coach this year is expected to attend. There is no way I would be back to my computer for 1pm mountain-- 2pm should be ok but no way for 1 pm-- dang

THis was the reason I initially proposed a Sunday

[Asher]

So is 4pm EDT/2pm MDT fine then for people?

[mrboo123]

2pm MDT is still fine. Anything up until 4:30pm MDT is fine

[Asher]

The problem will be if we'll get an ESPN auction slot.

[snoopy369]

Do we even have enough people for a league [8 people, I'd venture to say]? We could move the draft to next week probably.

It looks like I can take whatever hour I want either saturday (19 or 26).

For reference, here's who played last year:
Me
Sparrow
Flubber
Guynemer
Tingkai
Asher
Kontiki
MrBoo

So far we have all of the above except Sparrow and Tingkai in Yahoo!. I think Krill may be joining the auction - I'll send him an invite. I'm really busy though this weekend - as in I'll make the auction no problem but I don't have time to do other things, GF's mother is in town - can someone track down Sparrow and hold a gun to his head until he joins; and/or figure out if we need to/can do this 9/26 (next saturday) or sunday?

[Krill]

I'm in, joining as we speak...

[Krill]

Tomorrow might be difficult at 4PM EDT for me, I'm driving up to uni early sunday morning...
