2007 Draft date/time?

When will we kick this off? Last year, I believe it was August 23rd or 24th. I'm good any evenings in mid to late August or beyond.

I have a live draft on 8/4, so that's out. I'm also booked 8/11.  
 
I'll be away on business from 8/20-8/31. If it's not a day I'm traveling, then I should be good to go any of those evenings from my hotel room.

I agree, let's just set a date and go for it.  My problem last year... was the ready...go...the set part got left out and I was on business in the Department of Corrections.  Meaning I had no access to phones or internet...I'll make better arrangements this year if I go underground prior to a date being set.
 
That said, I know that Steg is still doing a little recruiting to get the prescibed number of participants.

C-dub, wrong board, brother...  This is the GBRFL2 board, not the CBFL board.  You're cutting in the wrong dance here. I'll go ahead and post this over on the "'07 Roll Call" thread on the CBFL board for you.
 
GBRFL2ers, ignore C-dub's post please.  Thank you!

I am not good until the week end of August 18th.
 
I have finally decided that I will come back to the GBRFL2!  
 
I cut out two of my other leagues and I am now down to 3.
 
Hopefully work will slow down after we file our first 10-Q on August.
 
I know a few of you sent me trade proposals and I told you I would not trade until I knew for sure if I was coming back.  
 
Now I am open for business!  As I recall, my team was not very good so Imay need to rebuild this year.  Everyone will be available.

If you go to the link above and then set the calender to August and click the month tab, It should bring up the draft conflicts. Purhaps Jeff knows his flight schedule a little more clearly. 19th, 24th and 25th look good depending on Jeff. Anyone else need to cloud the water? Lets get this date worked out so I can get it in my calender before it changes again.

If we can't set a date we could always go the way the CBFL went...spanning it out over a few days. I prefer to sit down and do it over one evening though. It does not take me more than 1 or 2 minutes ever to make a pick.

I got to the page, but the month of August is completely empty...?
 
Anyway, I'm driving, not flying. The 19th is the Sunday night before I leave for 2 weeks, so it won't work for me. I'm OK the 24th in the evening or the 25th (any time really).

Why dont we start Friday Aug 24th in the evening, go until midnite, then finish the next morning. That way maybe it wont take up all of Saturday like last year. Those two days seem to be the days nobody complained about.

I think the 24th works for me.  It's possible I could be traveling that friday though, my schedule is still up in the air fo that day.  Saturday's are better for me.

24th sounds good to me too...I'm not sure when my son's Friday night football games will begin though...Probably either that week or the following.

Those dates are good for me.  Pretty much anything after Aug 16th is good for me.  
 
I do have my "home" league draft on Sunday Aug 19th at 4PM so that evening is out for me.
 
Other than that I am good to go and I can work around everyone's conflicts.

Any reason we're trying to find a Saturday?   I find it a lot easier to do it midweek when we're talking an online draft.   Working from the hotel room is a lot easier than trying to justify (to the family ) a saturday night down in the office when I'm gone all week.
 
Just a thought.  Anyone prefere a T, W or Th draft night?

CP,  
 
I work nights with Fri-Sat off, so weeknight drafting is out of the question for me. Sorry.

I much prefer a weeknight than a Saturday/Sunday.  I have a draft on 8/26 as well.  
Hope everyone's summer is going well.

What was the problem with doing it in the evening of the 24th? We should be able to knock it out in 2-3 hours if everyone is around.

Last year we did it on a Thursday (8/24). We were scheduled to start at 7:00 PM Eastern. Some picks were made earlier than that since we knew the draft order. But the whole thing wrapped up shortly after midnight. I'm not sure why you thought it took an entire weekend day to do... maybe that was one of your other leagues...?

Other than Sunday's I'm good. I just need to know about a week in advance so my boss (AND WIFE) doesnt trip me up. Pick the date and time and post it. Lets go!

I was having a dumbass moment. I was looking back on last years draft with the 2007 calender.

Tentative Draft Date: August 24th, 2007 - 7:00 PM Eastern Time!
 
 
We just need to hear from Ray as he hasn't chimed in yet. Also, Rob might be traveling (Rob, when will you know?). Rob has had flights for the past two drafts and still managed to get his picks handled, so he should be OK.
 
 
Should we post keepers by 11:59 PM EST on August 20th and then determine the draft order on the 21st sometime?
