AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 10/11: Preseason

[snoopy369]

Sparrow, assuming i'm not playing, feel free to send me lists - i'm usually on.

[Guynemer]

I'm good to start whenever.

[joncha]

My internet time is fairly limited too, so I'll probably have to send somebody a list as well. Failing that, BAPAY is always an option.

[Flubber]

We could do what the NHL does. Newbs pick first (in expansion years) followed by a bottom to top order from the previous regular season standings (but keep the snake, the NHL does not do the snake).

Again an interesting idea but it seems more relevant to keeper leagues. If nothing else from the prior year carries over, it makes just as much sense to randomize the draft order.

In our particular league it seems like many of the same folks congregate at the top of the standings regardless of when they draft. Going first and grabbing Ovechkin is all well and good but then you could see 18 or 22 picks go by before you get to pick again

Firming up the list of managers at 10. Unless something dramatic happens, it looks like we are it.

Cavalcadeus still needs to join the league on Yahoo. Until he does I will not be able to enter draft picks on Yahoo so it may get hairy for people relying on Yahoo lists to see who is available.

snoop has generously volunteered to help Sparrowhawk with the draft. That should help keep things moving. I'm thinking we'll get the draft set up this weekend and begin the first round Monday or Tuesday. We can start to draft without starting the timer on BAPAYs until we have everyone's attention.

[Flubber]

Sounds good-- I think last time we started and had a round done before the official supposed start time

[mrboo123]

I should be available to draft most of the time. I'm going to be gone on Thursdays for the rest of the month, but every other weekday I'll be on. Well, after I figure out how to long on at work.

The list I PMed to Flubber, Robert Plomp, Jon Miller, and Imran.

[Asher]

So is the draft starting now? We should start a new thread, no?

[notyoueither]

I was thinking this one has only 80-some posts. It should fit the draft. However, if you prefer a seperate thread feel free to make one.

[Asher]

This should be fine I guess. I let Leanne know. She'll probably have her pick tomorrow.

[notyoueither]

There is no huge hurry at this point. I'd like for everyone to check in before we start any clocks, and Cav to join the league on Yahoo so I can enter draft picks round by round to help to keep things clear for everyone.

Also, could somebody double check the settings. I will not be able to modify some of them after I begin entering draft picks.

I've been 1st alot, never last...
