Vote/input on draft day/time - Speak up now!
« on: May 26th, 2004, 8:47pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I would like to see us try to all be online at the same time and have a "fast" online draft that would take perhaps 2 hours.  To that end, why don't we post any conflicts we know of during August?  Then we can pick a date and stick with it.
 
A second option would be to have a live draft covering the first few (4-6?) rounds and slow draft the remainder similar to last year.  I would only want to do that if it was impossible to do a full live draft.
 
OK.  Comments welcome.
 
I have no known conflicts at this time.  I would prefer a Friday or Saturday night after 8 PM Eastern.

I think we should try to do as much of it as possible as quickly as possible.  Since we're only doing 8 rounds plus a head coach, we should be able to get it done quickly.
 
I'd like to propose Friday, August 27th, beginning at 9:00 PM Eastern Time in the chat room.  Then we'll just go until we're finished.  (My little guy is in bed around 9, so I can stay up as late as necessary to get it done.)
 
My August calendar is clear (although that WILL change as get into the summer), so any date is OK with me right now.

That date looks good to me as well.  
 
My days off from work are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and I work graves with no internet access from work, so Fri or Sat night works best...

Correction:  That is 9 rounds (12 protections + 9 rounds = 21 component rosters) and NO head coach round (anymore... we got rid of picking a new coach every year for the sake of streamlining the process).  You just do the head coach once.  You keep him and then get rid of him and get a new one like a free-agent during the season.  It is kind of more like/more (the fantasy) equivalent to the way teams deal with coaches, anyway.
 
So, Philly got the # of rounds right; just needed to clean up the configuration.

Sorry guys, but August 27th is my 30th birthday and my wife has plans for me...    
Besides that, ANY night will work for me as long as I know about a week in advance.

Aug 20-23 looks the best for me. Would be extra nice as I have one live draft already that weekend. Alternate dates would have to be 1 minimum of 14 days earlier.  
 
I can always do it from the road, but may need someone to call me on my cell to take my pick that way.

When during that weekend is that other draft so we don't hit the exact same time?

So can we make August 20th 9pm EST the official time of the second annual GBRFL2 draft?!?!?!
 
Draft will occur in the chatroom, correct?  
 
FYI, if anyone has aol instant messenger, we can all share screen names for "behind the scene" dealing?

So, August 20th, 9:00 PM Eastern (6:00 PM Pacific) works for everyone...
 
The only people who have NOT responded to this date are our defending Champion (Keith) and Tony.
 
Could you guys give us a thumbs-up so we can lock this date in?
 
Thanks!

I believe I have a playoff game for softball on the 20th, but if its an agreeable date for everyone else, I don't want to hold it up.  I can give Jeff or Steve (since you both live by me) my cell # and pick that way if that is OK.

How late do your games go?  If we're starting at 9:00 PM, I would imagine you wouldn't be too late.

Wow... you must be in a really nice softball league that plays under the lights.  Our games start at 6:30 and are done by 8:00... then we just sit around the grill and eat and drink for the next couple hours.

Its nice.  I have been playing in the league since I moved to Freehold.  We have 7 fields, all under the lights and with fences.  Its a fast pitch league and we hang out after the games as well, but we are allowed to have beer.
