Title: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Jul 23rd, 2018, 3:34am Heyas, Guys! Getting on this late this summer, and there are some severely extenuating factors this year... So, I am going to cut to the chase. I think we really need to make a concerted effort to have this year's cyber/conference-call meeting and draft Labor Day weekend, September 1st, 2nd or 3rd. At least one owner, who is dealing with very unusual but very legitimate circumstances that make just about any other weekend impossible, will be immensely thankful. If not, we are going to have to do it very soon, like no later than the weekend of the 18th. Let's shoot for Labor Day weekend if at all possible! In any event, let's get to hammering this out... |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Jul 30th, 2018, 2:59pm Okay, with EVERYBODY having chimed in [smiley=clap.gif] what day do we want to go with? Please remember that we are looking at a start time of no earlier than, say, 5:00-ish (ET), which is 11:00-ish a.m. for me in Hawaii. My preference... Saturday, September 1st. Yours? |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Travistotle on Jul 30th, 2018, 6:24pm I prefer Sunday, but Saturday can work if it is a bit later. I probably cannot do it on Monday. |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by DirkDiggler on Jul 31st, 2018, 10:46am My preferences are similar to the preferences made by Travis. Sunday, Saturday, Monday. |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by DB on Jul 31st, 2018, 4:28pm At this point, no preference. |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Aug 6th, 2018, 12:37am Alright, fellas, I think I have given everybody enough time to chime in on the scheduling of the specific date for the 2018 GBRFL Summer Meeting & Draft, and at this point I think we need to get it scheduled and attend to some other related matters. Unless there is a MAJOR objection grounded in a VERY legitimate reason, ... The 2018 GBRFL Summer Meeting & Draft will be held via conference call and then here on "the Gridiron" on Sunday, September 2nd starting at 5:00-ish (ET)!!! That means that protections will be due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, August 26th. Here is the thread to do that on: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=53;action=display;num=1533529950. 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. As an important aside, there is the matter of our dealing with the problem of nonparticipation, which has been being discussed here: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=53;action=display;num=1514813199. The Draft Lottery conference call could afford us the opportunity to discuss the matter live and really prepare to make a decision on it come draft/meeting day. If we want to do this, it would be best for us 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! |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Aug 13th, 2018, 3:00am Well, fellas, I am looking at the calendar and things are getting a little out-of-hand on my end, and so I have got to cut to the chase regarding scheduling the Draft Lottery. Assuming yous want me to be present, which actually is not a requirement, my dates of availability are -- I now realize -- quite limited. Here are the only dates I can do it, and it would not be able to be until around 6:00-7:00 p.m. or, for Frank on weekdays, 8:00 p.m. (ET): Tuesday, August 14th (that is less than 48 hours from now) *** THEN, NOT UNTIL *** Friday, August 24th Saturday, August 25th Sunday, August 26th (cutdown day) Whatchyas want to do? No time for hesitation in reply... |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by DirkDiggler on Aug 13th, 2018, 3:04pm I sent out the spreadsheet for the lottery picks. Everyone should have gotten it except Steg |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Aug 13th, 2018, 10:31pm Alright, it is getting late in the evening here Eastern Time, so based on those who chimed in, I am going to call it. The Draft Lottery meeting will be TOMORROW, Tuesday, August 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. (ET)!!! It would be great if we could also get a little convo in about fixes for the problem of nonparticipation: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=53;action=display;num=1514813199;start=25. Anyway, more info, the call-in number and such, to come later by email. Out... [smiley=onit.gif] |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Aug 14th, 2018, 2:55pm Call-in number for TONIGHT emailed out a little bit ago... [smiley=phone.gif] |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by Stegfucius on Aug 14th, 2018, 10:15pm I am happy to report that SIX guys attended the Draft Lottery tonight. [smiley=havinablast.gif] During the conference call, we 1) did the Draft Lottery, 2) established 2018 team numbers, and 3) conducted an in-depth, indeed, deep, soul-searching and very productive discussion regarding the issue of how to deal with nonparticipation. Regarding how #3 went, we probably should do something. We will anticipatively vote on it on draft day. Punitive measures may not be the way to go. We may just have to do the heavy lifting of figuring out what to do in-season with an unattended lineup. In that spirit, it would be good to revisit my SECOND post here, http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=53;action=display;num=1514813199, where I address, not the punitive, reactive or proactive, measures we can take, BUT what reparative steps we can take, a side of the discussion we have largely neglected. On to the fun stuff... The Draft Order came out as follows: 1. Travis 2. Mark 3. Steg 4. Frank 5. Warner The team numbers for 2018 came out as follows: 1. Travis 2. Danny 3. Trout 4. Mark 5. Steg 6. Bohrer 7. Frank 8. Pak 9. Joe 10. Warner I will update the Rosters page over at the GBRFL (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/gbrfl/) league site soon... [smiley=onit.gif] See yous on Sunday, September 2nd at around 5:00 p.m. (ET) for the 2018 GBRFL Summer Meeting & Draft!!! |

Title: Re: 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft Post by DOLFAN on Aug 17th, 2018, 12:55am I have sent out the updated draftpickgrids for the next 3 yrs...check your emails...if that has changed or you didn't get it, email me or text me your new email addy. I used the same ones as steg's email for the lottery info. |

That is to say, the Draft is TOMORROW!!! [smiley=gonecrazy.gif] You can find the Draft thread on the "between the 20's" board. Here is a direct link: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=56;action=display;num=1535853040. Also, here is a direct link to "the Gridiron" chatroom: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=&action=chatnow&job=login. I will resend the conference-call information, but the number and system will be the same one we used for the lottery, so you can consult that email as well. Other than that, see yous TOMORROW around 5:00 p.m. (ET), 11:00 a.m. my time... |
