CBFL "Mock" Draft - "Public Announcement"

Fellas, the first-ever "official" mock draft on "the Gridiron", which will be the basis for the CBFL, will commence on Monday, June 30th and two spots remain somewhat up in the air! As such, I have decided to find out what interest/enthusiasm exists on the parts of our members in general. So, if you are interested in participating in this very fun and somewhat historic mock draft here on "the Gridiron" and playing in this very fun and unique site-sponsored league, express you interest on this thread. For further information, visit the CBFL site located at:
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cbfl/.
In particular, you would want to check out the "Rules/Scoring" page.

Yes, that is the case, KJ. I would expect it to take us 10 to 14 days to complete. July 2nd is actually Wednesday, but whatever. If you are only going to lose that one day and can submit a short list to get you through it and be able to do it while in Spain, that would be okay by me. Actually, that would "internationalize" it even more, which I think is really cool; potentially, one of our guys will be doing it from Korea. But, if that is not going to work for you, PLEASE let me know and  out now as, at this point, time is of the essence. Thank you!

I can put you on one end of the draft, like I will with my bud in Korea, so that you can make your picks two at a time. Otherwise, I think you should bow out, KJ. I mean I am not going to implement special rules for you; I am not for the guy in Korea, either, and, ultimately, the schedule has to be made favorable for the guys in American time zones as those are the guys who primarily comprise the draft. Sorry!

This may be a problem for me, since I leave for Spain this Tuesday, I think, July 2. I don't want to just to send an entire list when instead someone else can have my spot and be active. |

Sucks that you may miss this - but going to Spain should be worth it! Have fun! Heres hopin you get some  and maybe some  , but mainly just have fun and be safe.

So this isn't really a random draft order??

Or is it random??
I'm not sure what you mean by putting your guy in Korea at one end or the other, then saying that no special rules are being implemented...?
I'm not crazy about the idea of someone automatically getting the #1 overall pick just because they are in a different time zone...

Philly, PLEASE don't twist my words and make me pay for the good deed of my being forthright. I meant that I am not going to implement any special RULES for anybody with regards to time zones as they affect the schedule/pacing of the draft. I am, however, willing to extend my hand out to those who may be a little, well, "time-zone" challenged and give them draft positions that make it easier on them just like Mike at FFToday did for me last year when I was in Korea and he gave me the first pick overall. Not to mention, this is a total freebie, web site and all, and I, myself, am not participating. So, who cares how I make up the draft order? It's not like it's a conspiracy or anything. I just hope Chili does not see all this as it will probably make him feel bad and not want to do it, thinking he is putting us out.

KJ, a list is fine to get you through the one day you will be in transit. But, bottom line, if the above is really your sitch for the whole time after you arrive in Spain, you should bow out.

I wasn't trying to twist your words... it seemed as though your words were contradictory, so I was just looking for a little clarification.
As for giving someone the first overall pick, well, I'm not crazy about it, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it and it won't affect my feelings about the CBFL at all... And if it is the only way to include Chili D, then go ahead and do it.

With specific regards to that last post, note this following excerpt from the CBFL "Rules/Scoring" page:
Starting in 2003, as the CBFL will become a "main event" of sorts on "the Gridiron" and other forum members may want the opportunity to join in, the bottom 3 teams (25% of the league) in the final standings will NOT be invited back for the following season. They will be allowed to reenter the pool of candidates only after one full season has passed.
So, three of you scallions are feelin' the pain next year anyway, and three new guys will be brought aboard.

NO, bg! THANKS for catching that!  When tweaking Mike's old rules, I missed that. Anyway, I got right on it...  and it is all fixed now! 
There was actually another error that Philly caught a couple days ago. So, PLEASE, all of you, be on the lookout for that kind of stuff.

to fantasy football, so... But, now at least I know who is getting the last pick! 
I'm ready to go. 
I have been "working" all weekend to finalize my projections for this thing and I am just about ready to go!
