0 Subject: 18th Annual RotoGurupie Keeper

Posted by: Russell - [1222271] Tue, Mar 07, 2017, 02:22

Members I have activated the league at ESPN. We have plenty of time to draft and get started. Let's get started trying to get everybody together. Someone else needs to do the Draft at Draftime or wherever.

I can set up the draft at draftime. We need to confirm that everyone is returning.

Mike V has emailed me that he will not be returning this year. His team name is Dilligad, and finished 6th last year.

So we need at least one new manager. Before opening to the masses, does anyone have a friend or family member that they would like to invite?

We have a replacement manager for the Dilligad team - friend of Mike Chen. He's already signed up at ESPN and Draftime. Quick work!

Guys let's try to have our keepers posted here and at ESPN by the end of the day on the 24th.

Then if OK with everyone start the Drafttime Draft on the 26th. Guru can decide on the timeline for the draft.

Everyone has now submitted keepers, so I'm going to go ahead and process those on ESPN. If you want to make keeper changes before the draft starts, just post here, and I can make the adjustment.

As a reminder, we do not use ESPN for drafting. We close out the draft after keepers are selected, and then use draftime for the drafting. After each pick is made at draftime, managers are asked to pick up the drafted player at ESPN in order to keep the player database as current as possible there.

In order to allow you to pick up players are ESPN, we need to "close out the draft" at ESPN and then allow for a 1-day waiver waiting period.

You'll receive a notice from draftime when actual drafting can begin. Ignore any preliminary notices from ESPN.

Hi Dave, there was some confusion last year when the waiver period is over. Will it lock the players until the period is over?

Not sure how to interpret your question.

If you are asking about after the draft, there will probably be no post-draft waiver period for undrafted players, unless someone wants to clear out all draft picks and re-enter them again.

Keepers are set at ESPN and Draftime. You have until the end of Friday to request any changes. You can do that by posting in this thread.

I plan to turn on the draft on Saturday around noon ET, but we will run untimed until at least Sunday afternoon. Assuming we get through at least one round by then, I'll turn on the clock. We typically use a 6 hour clock in this league, with a clock pause from 11pm-9am ET. If you make a habit of using much of your clock time, your time allowance will be reduced. We need to finish this draft in about 6 days, so you should plan on getting through about 4 rounds per day on average.

To the extent possible, as you draft, please pick up your players at ESPN. If you are using queues, make your best efforts to keep your roster updated at ESPN. This will help to keep the universe of players at ESPN as synched up with the draft as possible.

Remember that you can set a general queue or a pick-specific queue. Your queued pick will only be used if you have turned on "auto-pick" for that queue. Be careful to make sure your queue is on when you want it on, and off when you want it off. Every year, a few inadvertent picks are made because queues are carelessly left on.

Positions listed at draftime are only for general tracking. Actual position eligibilities at ESPN are what matters. In general, a player is eligible at ESPN is he started 20 games at that position in 2016, or 10 games at that position in 2017. But regardless, it is what it is at ESPN. There is no way to override the positions listed. It is up to each manager to check on current positions listed for any player at ESPN.

For more instructions on how to use queues, see the help page at draftime.com. If you have questions about the draft or the league settings, feel free to ask here.

Draft is 21 rounds, with order in reverse sequence of last year's standings.

We're doing a shopping run and my ETA back is 6-7 PM CDST.

I have set up 3 queues (2-4) and designated 4 alternates. Good picking!

Since we're done in plenty of time, I'm going to reset the draft on ESPN and reload all draft picks. That will allow us to run all undrafted players through waivers, with a clean start before the season begins.

So if you haven't picked up your players yet, don't bother. Hopefully, I'll have everything reset by the end of Thursday.

Draft has been reloaded in ESPN. Please check your rosters for accuracy. If you find an error, please send me an email.

All undrafted players will clear waivers on Saturday. After that, feel free to add free agents.
