Heyas, Fellas! In uncharacteristic fashion, I will keep it short here... What do we want to do for this year's draft? Early, like mid-August, or late, like around Labor Day weekend, or somewhere in between? Feel free to just start throwing out dates! Barring anything unforeseen and unlikely happening, pretty much any weekend as well as Labor Day Monday works for me.  How about you???

August 17 and August 24 might be iffy due to traveling but I can probably make any evening work including those dates.
Labor Day weekend is good.

If we roll Labor Day weekend, which seems to be the way things are trending (again), I would prefer to avoid Labor Day, Monday, and roll on either Saturday or Sunday, or since you all back on the east coast are looking at a start time of no earlier than 5:00 p.m. (11:00 a.m. my time) anyway, even Friday. Bottom line, I would like to have at least one full day after the meeting and draft to get everything with the website updated and ready heading into Week 1.

Well, the chiming in has seemed to die down... SO, I think it is time to get the date for our 2019 "conference-call/online" Summer Meeting & Draft set in accordance with what was trending...
The 2019 GBRFL Summer Meeting & Draft will be held via conference call and then here on "the Gridiron" on Sunday, September 1st starting at 5:00-ish (ET)!!!
That means that protections will be due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, August 25th. Here is the thread to do that on: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=53;a ction=display;num=1564348785.
Assuming there are no major, legitimate objections, that leaves just one pending matter: the scheduling of the Draft Lottery. It really does not matter when we do it. I know people have their "strategic" preferences and of course people's schedules are a consideration, but in theory it could be conducted anytime between now and draft day. That said, the lottery conference call allows us to at least kick off discussion of matters that we want to take up on draft day, so we should try to schedule the lottery for a time that maximizes the chances of full participation. So, does anybody want to express any preference as to when we conduct the Draft Lottery? Let's get to it!

You meant to say "draft lottery", right, Steve? (Just do not want the discussion to backslide...)

I, too, prefer having several weeks between the lottery and the draft. |

These conflict...
Frank, are you ONLY good any evening the weekend RIGHT BEFORE the draft? Or, are you good in the evening any weekend before the draft? Do you, indeed, have a preference, opposite the usual, for having it LATE, closer to Draft Day???
