Um, don't they need to include every number between 1 and 14 like:
13 10 7 1 11 8 4 12 14 3 2 5 9 6

It looks like those who are "chiming in" are in agreement for a draft to draft picking order.
So unless I hear otherwise by 9 pm tonight (EDT TUESDAY AUG 7), we'll start picking draft positions.
If you DISAGREE, the time is NOW to chime in!
Thanks.

Thanks Bonka
Last time for "chimers" is 9 pm EDT tonight (to give PDT+ time to get home and see the threads for today).
If there are no major objections, then #1 will be "on the clock" (untimed) to choose a draft slot.
I will keep checking in and email you when you are next on the list.
Use this thread to make your choices so everyone can see what's happening.
I am away from the computer for a few hours -- will check back in ~ 6 pm EDT.

I figgered out the double random number process and it looks like to me that BoNkA's order is correct. Neat system!!

Just curious...
Dumb question but:
Does ET + 7 mean you are ahead of ET (Europe) or behind ET (Hawaii)?

Do team 13 and team 8 know who they are?

I sent Team 13 (pops, I think) an email and will do the same for Team 8 (matt/psychos, I think) when it is his turn.
I am checking every 10 min tonight -- until the Phillies game is over or 11:30 whichever is later...
Toral -- thanks for the boost -- I am having fun, but cannot wait to draft a player instead of a position!

OK time for bed. (Phils won 11-1. Moyer was awesome. Ryan hit two.)
You guys are on your own to keep going on the draft order choices. I will be away from a computer until the afternoon EDT.
Here are some suggestions if you are on the wait list.
1) If you want the next highest pick, no matter what it is, post that wish and trust that a guy behind you will do it for you. 2) If you want something special, like 10 or later highest to lowest, post that and trust. 3) If you want the lowest, etc.
Plan to check the thread at least once a day from now on. Twice is better!
Leave messages here on the thread so people can see them.
With any luck we will finish the draft position choices by tomorrow night (Tuesday). I’ll put them into kafenatid as soon as the list is complete and send out an email to begin an untimed draft for those who might know whom they want and it is their turn.
That said, I know that some managers want to wait until the Mon and Tues pre-season games are over to draft a player. That’s OK too!
Right now I anticipate beginning the untimed player draft this Wednesday, August 8th -- somebody suggest a start time EDT.
After the preseason games are over -- Wednesday, August 15th -- we will follow the lead of the other leagues and use a 6 hour clock and that should be enough to get us started and to cover all our time zones. Queue lists should help here.
You should be ready to set up queues or be able to get on a computer so we can keep the draft going. Hopefully not too many rounds will use the entire 6 hour limit. If it gets close to crunch time, we might need to shorten it.
If anyone has any other thoughts, please post them here.

Psycho- you appear to have drafted out of order...Team 8 which is yours needs to wait until 4,5,6,&7 have chosen their draft positions until you can choose yours.The draft board should read:
4 Team 13 5 Toral Wheatfarmers 6 JackHammers 7 The Red Scorpions 8 Team 8/ Psychos 9 Weykool 10 Bonka Bombers 11 Thunder Bunnies 12 The fighting joe carsons 13 Donkey Hunters 14 E’ville Destiny
Team 13 which I believe is Pops should make the next selection

Been out of town for a few days. I see I got my normal draft position (14).
Thanks again to Judy, BoNka and all for the work you've put in.
I did have one question. I noticed the Receiving points are 1 for 25 yards. Am I correct with that? I have never used AOL before so I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing before the draft starts.
OK, I'm off to bed. (Phils won again. Dontrelle was wild and that helped us a lot.)
Hopefully, the last manager will choose his slot tonight or tomorrow am.
When that happens, I'll load the order into Kafenatid and start the draft. I'll also start a new/clean thread. Check here for the link. This will not happen until afternoon EDT on Thursday.
The player draft will be untimed and run 24 hours, until after the last pre-season game on Tuesday unless we decide otherwise. After that it will be 6 hours and go 6 am to midnight EDT -- that is what the others are doing as best I can tell.
As a matter of courtesy, if you are "on the (untimed) clock" and do not plan to draft until after a certain time/game, please post that information on the thread so the rest of us aren't getting too eager. Also if you are out and about, leave a queue if you wish to.
You all are great to work with! Keep checking the thread for updates though...

#73 Judy, As a Seattle Mariner season ticket holder, you are welcome for Moyer. It was nice to see him go where he wanted. I am very glad he is still doing well. Sorry, I was just a little tired of football.

for some reason, the link is not working. If you go to the top of this thread and click on the purple RotoGuru Football Forum, we are listed as 2007 RIFC AA POST #2.
If someone knows how to post the direct link and make it work, please do. I am not sure what I am doing incorrectly!
Thanks.
