Hey Wolfer,

Allen in your league is a new user on the site. I talk to him online in WoW often so if there are any issues getting him signed up in draftime or espn, shoot me an email.

I'll help walk him thru the set up and show him the boards.

I would love to get everyone in the sooner the better, then we can st draft order.

Basically I want to start the draft when we get done with the order.

I need 5 for drafttime. We are missing 5 for drafttime. When they sign up, I am going to do what the other AA league did and have Guru set the order.

OK, I don't think I care about doubles or anything else, but we really need to get started, or we won't make it.
And yes, I understand the limitations on figuring out between ESPN and Draftime

Thanks Dan.
Didn't mean to come across strong.
Just once I leave the house in the morning.
Typically between 6:30 and 7:00, I'm out of pocket until I get home around 5:00 or so.

Can we start drawing draft order now even without these 2 in draftime? at least get 2 things done at once. Maybe that gets them to check in.

Did you personal email or use the ESPN utility? maybe its a link to an addy they don't check.
37wolfer

I used both. In terms of the drafting order, I am going to let Guru set the order like he did with the other AA league.

We are all in. I will announce the order and set the order up in draftime tonight. My goal is to start Thursday, which I think will give us a day on one of the AAA leagues.

I just ran a random order. Here is your draft order:

1 Nerfherders
2 GO
3 MattG
4 SparkyAnne
5 Wolfer
6 McKitrick
7 Philsphan
8 Rob
9 Toral
10 Donkey Hunter
11 YWK
12 WG
13 Allen
14 Goatlocker
15 VampireWeekend
16 louky

Initial waiver priorities at the start of the season should be the reverse of this order.

Is the order order or the order for selecting draft position?

order order.

You are skipping the draft position process in the interest of getting the draft started.

I'll be chatting with allen in a bit. I'll make sure to stress the importance of using queues for picks and make sure he understands how. Sorry guys, I didn't really go over the draft software with him. I'll make sure he understands from here out these delays cant happen.

Airallnite only had 13 hours to setup a queue so I guess his pick will be made in the morning.

My apologies for that long delay in picks, still familiarizing myself with the site and how it works. I now have ques set up for auto picks for 3-4 picks in advance and will check in on this a little more often.

Due to long hours at work, it was tough trying to get on long enough to get more than one pick in.

Again I apologize to everyone for the delay that I caused, and I know I wasted valuable time, but am making steps to avoid having any more delays whatsoever in the future.

No problem, keep working to set up the ques... they really make it easy. Usually the second half of the draft goes quick anyway cause most go best player available and not so much deep thinking.

I have started the clock. The clock is set to mimic the RIBC. From the RIBC.........


"Teams at the endpoint of each round will have only one clock period to make their pick. Similarly, anyone who has timed out in any round will have subsequent picks skipped until you show up to make your pick.

I will activate a 4 hour clock and this will be on for the duration of the draft, including weekends. Chronic time-out offenders may have their clocks manually shortened. The nightly clock moratorium will run from midnight until 8am EDT. This means that the moratorium will be from 9pm until 5am PDT. If you are on the West Coast and your pick comes due overnight, you will not time-out until 9am PDT. For those of you who live outside of the local US/Canadian time zones, I realize that the clock moratoriums are not ideal, but I appreciate your attempts to make it work."

My turn to pick but draftime seems to be down, at least for me. I can't even update my spreadsheets at this point.

I wish the clock would flip so my picks didnt come up in the morning every day. I am on the westish side of the country so its tough.

I just wanted to do the math on how long we have had to wait for airallnite. In total, we have had to wait for approximately 45 hours for airallnite to make his selections. Compared to minorpains who has a grand total of 2 hours. Thank you for the people that are considerate and set a queue if they're going to be away from their computer for a while.

My offense has slowly declined in May after a hot start. Then I had a couple nights of pitching implosions. I somehow knew I wasn't going to cruise into this one.
