Subject: RQFL #3 draft discussion Posted by: holt - [497552] Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 06:07 What do you guys think is a reasonable time limit between picks? 4-6 hours? what about drafting time? monday-friday 8am-10pm central time? I don't think we should be strict about getting picks in until monday. there may be a few who haven't seen that the drafted has started yet, but by monday that should be no excuse. | ||||||

I'm interested in moving up/down. More in moving down than in moving up really, but I will certainly talk to both parties. email me at the address provided. While at work I don't have access to a real-time message program but i'll check my email every 10 mins or so. Let me know. | |||||
| 2 | Battles ID: 13761818 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 11:47 | All those times sound good. Maybe start at 6 hours for the first round picks and go down from there. We also really need everyone to make picks on the weekend. I agree that it shouldn't be mandatory, but it's really easy to leave a quene with someone. I'd be will to accept them. | |||||
| 3 | Baldwin ID: 53631254 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 12:02 | Today is not a good day for drafting schedule-wise for me but usually I will be around for this draft. I'll be around for 3 or 4 more hours so I gotta think I'll get my pick in before then. | |||||
| 4 | eugene ID: 37431712 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 12:24 | Im here..Checking in so Ill be ready for my pick at #5 | |||||
| 5 | Battles ID: 13761818 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 12:35 | Well the HUGE problem is wazaaap_guy hasn't even signed up on rotoworld and he's up with the 3rd pick. I found his email address in one of the others threads and will email him. | |||||
| 6 | eugene ID: 37431712 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 14:37 | Drop wassup and lets get someone to play | |||||
| 7 | Battles ID: 13761818 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 14:40 |
Well I emailed him. It was a rutgers university email address. I assume he hasn't started school yet, so I don't know if he'll even get it. Holt will have to make the decision to drop someone. | |||||
| 8 | Hubble ID: 40637100 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 14:53 |
just to confirm i'm waiting for my turn... and to express my surprise with the first 2 picks :) cheers | |||||
| 9 | kev ID: 3155515 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 14:54 | I know if we cut a team or 2, we will have less teams than the regular league, but if it is going to be a pain to fill 2 spots, why dont we run with a smaller league? | |||||
| 10 | Pops ID: 54726118 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 15:18 |
Wow, it's not even September and Holt has had to make some commish-type decisions. I see no problem with not being around for the draft yet (though it's debateable), but there is most surely a problem with not having registered yet :(. | |||||
| 11 | holt ID: 497552 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 15:35 |
I'm looking for someone to replace him, and it's possible he may show up. if both of those things fail we'll shift to being a 12 team league. a 14-team league is more challenging (smaller draft and FA pool) so hopefully we can stick with that. we're one month from the regular season, and the draft is 20 rounds... if any of you guys know someone who might be interested in playing, have them register at rotoworld in wazaaap's spot. | |||||
| 12 | Baldwin ID: 53631254 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 15:40 | In my experience we can always always get thru these drafts in time so let's not have a cow. If after getting wazzupguys first pick we have this problem again I would consider replacing him then. Expect these problems when it was decided so suddenly and unexpectedly to begin the draft. | |||||
| 13 | holt ID: 497552 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 16:27 | yeah - I agree baldwin. until monday I don't really consider the draft to be officially started, so to speak. | |||||
| 14 | blue hen ID: 372102211 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 17:10 | I disagree Baldwin. Slow drafts that are held up by the same people again and again are absolutely terrible. | |||||
| 15 | Hubble ID: 40637100 Thu, Aug 19, 2004, 20:50 |
Personnaly, in all humility, i would also wait till monday before starting the time limit... So lets give the man a little chance... | |||||
| 16 | Athletics Guy ID: 147331414 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 19:40 | Any news? | |||||
| 17 | eugene ID: 37431712 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 20:07 | Lets drop him...Hes had plenty of time | |||||
| 18 | Baldwin ID: 337451920 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 21:25 | I've run completely out of patience with him. If you can't check in once in three days when you claim to really want in the qualifying league I question your sincerity. Too bad because I was looking forward to competing with another gurupie I've seen around here a long time. | |||||
| 19 | Baldwin ID: 337451920 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 21:27 | Has it been 3 days? It sure feels like it has. You really want to give him from Wednesday or Thursday all the way to Monday to check in? | |||||
| 20 | holt ID: 497552 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 05:38 |
we'll just replace him. if someone can come up with someone to take his place then that's cool. I've been super busy this week and I'm not gonna be around much at all tomorrow. but don't worry - come monday this draft will be kicked into hih gear one way or another. if someone finds a replacement - tell them to go ahead and make their pick. | |||||
| 21 | wazaaap_guy ID: 3959822 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 16:00 | really sorry guys, i wont make an excuse or anything and am sorry i forgot to check in. wont happen again. i just made my pick, but if you guys want to replace me thats cool too. | |||||
| 22 | Baldwin ID: 487442022 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 16:12 | No, I really want to play you Wassupguy. I've been checking every fifteen minutes for days now and when it finally reached me I was out of the house for 2 hours...doh! Heh...looks like he just picked tho. | |||||

| 25 | Pops ID: 54726118 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 09:20 | I will wait 10 mins for a trade inquiry, if one does not come in, I will make my pick. | |||||
| 26 | Battles ID: 107372014 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 12:41 | We have to get this draft going asap. | |||||
| 27 | Pops ID: 54726118 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 14:08 |
Any ideas on when we should start the clock? Immediately sounds as good a time as any. | |||||
| 28 | Battles ID: 107372014 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 14:13 |
I agree. Everybody has had time to check in. I think 4 days is enough. People need to start checking in regularly. I'll go ahead and email Kev to make sure he knows he's up, but I can't do that for everyone. | |||||

| 33 | holt ID: 497552 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 14:27 |
once we are through the first round we will go to a 4 hour clock. queues are strongly encouraged. if you go past your 4 hours then the draft will keep moving and you'll just have to make your pick whenever you can. | |||||

it's been over 8 1/2 hours since the last pick. I wanted to give kev every chance to get his pick in but we can't really wait longer than this. let's move on, and kev can make his pick whenever he checks in. | |||||

From the thread "MLB pick the loser 8/24" 21 blue hen ID: 372102211 Tue, Aug 24, 2004, 14:15 Milwaukee So i'm guessing he will make his pick shortly. Hopefully he checked the FB board, but given time constraints you never know. | |||||

Really Johnson is a bit of a reach because he is going into sophmore slump territory and he really got ignored once they discovered Dom Davis. I still like him. Agreed this crowd is way too smart to be ruled by cheat sheets. | |||||

Well I drafted RIBC RQL w/ 2 caveats. I don't care what other people have projected, and I don't pick hometown guys (Houston). Going in to football, I still don't care what others have projected.

| 151 | Battles ID: 107372014 Sat, Aug 28, 2004, 17:15 |
4 hours is the time limit to make your pick m-f 8-10 cdt. No clock at night or weekends. If you don't pick everyone moves on. I think we should extend the clock into the weekend and have a more harsh penalty for not picking. | |||||
| 152 | Hubble ID: 137262618 Sat, Aug 28, 2004, 17:48 |
it is getting kinda boring now... i agree that we should have strict rules... for clock... and penalty... i personnaly wouldnt mind and therefoer give you permission to skip my picks if i give no signs of life after 1 hour... but heck... I don't think it's really that hard to actually guess where our next pick is going to be and then makes plans... (being online or send a freaking queue...) to make that thing move along...

next weekend we can keep the draft clock running. there's no way we can start that this weekend though. have to give everyone fair notice changes in the draft rules. we can also change the picks to a 3 hour time limit starting on monday. at this point in the draft it should be easy for all of us to put queues together. | |||||

If he's half as good as he thinks he is... I know that QB loves to throw to TE's, the system favors it, I don't see why he won't click right away. As for his mouth, if ever there was a bunch of veterans who needed a kick in the butt there they sit. | |||||

It's way useful to be able to see exactly who everyone has broken down by category without having to track it yourself. Automatic e-mail notification when you are up. An easy way to leave your Q's. A clock so the commish doesn't have to keep track of that. The draft can be broken down alphabetically so you can tell if someone has been taken quicker. It's worthwhile. | |||||

the baseball qualifier league some of us are in did draft rationales the way the ribc league did. I don't know if we need to do that in this league, but we should at least all do a draft re-cap when this is done. go over our picks and what we see as strengths or weaknesses throughout the league, or whatever other commentary we want to throw in. as the season goes on it's interesting (or even humorous!) to go back and see how everyone felt about their picks during the pre-season.

twarpy - what happened is that I made a pick for eugene's team to keep the draft moving and your team went on the clock. promize signed up to take eugene's team and since you hadn't picked yet I allowed him to make his own 7th round pick (the original pick I posted was about 5 minutes after baldwin picked, and I deleted it after promize posted his pick). in actuality your team was on the clock for over 3 hours, so pops went ahead and made his pick. | |||||

| 222 | Baldwin ID: 417442918 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 13:58 | It was Holt's turn to pick. Not Kev's. | |||||

hey all - just to remind everyone, the first regular season game is on sept. 9. we still have 12 rounds to go, so we've gotta do whatever we can to keep speeding this up. we should be shooting for 2 rounds a day, not 1. | |||||
| 225 | holt ID: 497552 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 15:03 | btw - I think I set it so we can all go in and pick up our own players. so anyone that wants to start filling their roster at rotoworld can do so. | |||||

I'm interested in trading 1 of my 3 starting RB's. I'm looking for receivers or receivers and a combination of switching picks in upcoming rounds. email me if your interested. | |||||

Yeah, we need to hit a high gear here quick. I am around late at night, if anyone wants to leave a que for me. If you know you are going to be out for more than 4 hours, and your pick is in the next 3 or 4, try and leave a que. Like I said, I'm a night owl, so anyone can leave me a que if they need be. | |||||
| 228 | kev ID: 3155515 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 16:46 | guys, Im out for work for the next 8 hours. If anyone is waiting to make a pick, I can take a que for late night. Thanks. | |||||

| 230 | Athletics Guy ID: 24723018 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 19:51 |
We're so far behind... How many picks do we need per day to make it in time? | |||||
| 231 | Hubble ID: 447323112 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 21:05 |
oh joy of joy.... Twarpy is up again... I suggest that we go to 2 hours clock, and only one hour for those who timed out once and 0 hour clock for those who timed out twice (twarpy very soon) lets get serious please... And No i'm not online 24/7 , i work on construction and manage to be near a computer few hours a day only... but i hate making people wait... So MY CLOCK IS SET TO 0 just to prove that i want this freaking dratf to get moving | |||||
| 232 | Battles ID: 517373013 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 21:12 | I agree. | |||||
| 233 | Promize ID: 19742168 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:29 |
Is there a time overnight the clock is off? Cause I am getting tired of waiting... | |||||
| 234 | Battles ID: 517373013 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:39 | 10cdt | |||||
| 235 | Battles ID: 517373013 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:44 | Promize-go ahead and pick in 10 minutes. Twarpy times out at that point. | |||||
| 236 | holt ID: 497552 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 23:32 | yep - promize - if you're around go ahead and pick. | |||||
| 237 | holt ID: 497552 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:11 | all yours baldwin. | |||||
| 238 | kev ID: 3155515 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:16 | did we seriously only get done 3 picks in the last 8 hours??? Come on people. The middle of this draft is taking forever to get through every time. Is it that hard to leave a que? Battles is around seemingly most times, and Im around every night. Lets start leaving ques if we are always holding up the draft. | |||||
| 239 | Athletics Guy ID: 24723018 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:19 | I'm ready if it gets to me | |||||
| 240 | blue hen ID: 353412123 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:22 | Will I still get points even though dumbass Hubble drafted Eddie Georges for me? I never heard of a guy named Eddie Georges. | |||||
| 241 | Baldwin ID: 417442918 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:43 | Gut check and then I pick. | |||||
| 242 | Baldwin ID: 417442918 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 00:57 | Wazuuupguy is up. | |||||
| 243 | Baldwin ID: 417442918 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 01:02 |
BH You almost make it sound like Eddie George wasn't on the Queue you made up yourself. Actually I will get those points because I have Julius Jones. | |||||
| 244 | holt ID: 497552 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 01:16 |
bh - I think I found your RB in the dallas phone directory. Georges, Wm E 5539 Greenbrier Dr Dallas, TX 75209-3417 214-352-9871 you might want to give him a call. let him know your expecting some production. | |||||
| 245 | Athletics Guy ID: 24723018 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 03:45 | Holt, I sent you my queue. | |||||
| 246 | holt ID: 497552 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 05:38 |
got it athletics guy. I may not be around when his picks come up so I forwarded that queue to pops, baldwin, kev, and promize. I don't know who's on-line in the morning but that should cover it. | |||||
| 247 | holt ID: 497552 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 06:12 | I won't be around til aout noon central. I don't think my pick will be up before that time, but if it is then go ahead and skip me and I'll just make my pick when I get on-line. | |||||
| 248 | Battles ID: 517373013 Wed, Sep 01, 2004, 11:28 | time for a new thread. I'll start one. | |||||
