Working on using myfantasyleague.com as our drafting site because it has all the bells and whistles we are looking for including, pre-ranking players (by round or overall, can change it anytime you like), email updates, otc reminders, it will manage the clock for us and will avoid the confusion of players being drafted twice which happened a few times last season.

It is FREE, but blocked by big brother. We can however work around that as Shak and I have Commish access and can post your pick for you if you posted it here on rotoguru or via email. This will make managing two drafts much simpler for all involved. Questions/comments encouraged?

By the way this league is only patrtially loaded, I was typing off of the top of my head during intial set up so the team names are there but all of the owner names are not. Next I need to load in all of the email addresses then you can peruse the site. Maybe Shak Daddy can help me out on that respect.

How are the golf courses in Arizona?

(Note: That was not a serious question, I've played there and they are FABULOUS!)

This is the draft report. Really would like some input on using this site. I can teel you from experience it is OUTSTANDING (and free). They will do all of the hard work of keeping both drafts straight because it is going to get CONFUSING doing it manually. How many can access from work? I know at Mildenhall we used to be be able to get in, but now I can't. Shak and I will more than likely be available for 24 hour coverage to post your pick for you with a simple email.

No luck at Lakenheath, which means USAFE is probably out. I will say it is a good site with pre-ranking to those who are going to be away from the computer.

FYI the website we will be using for the draft is free up until the start of the season. That means we will only be using it for our drafts. Once the season starts, we will have to rely on our stat boy(s).

I like the website and used it in the past, it does chime all the bells for you. Make sure you skip someone's pick If they go past the 12 hour limit, instead of the site making a automatic pick for with the highest remaining player left on the board. We ran into problems in that later in the draft it selected a few Defensive teams, not good..

I'm ready..just my password works in one and not in the other, so I would assume we will need two passwords?

I also don't have a password for the second draft site.

Ed, the main purpose of the site is so that people can pre-draft players. If not, why not just use this site? There will be plenty of e-mail reminders about who is up.

Ed, first off the rocks!!

Poke, poke, stab, stab!!

It will help people pre-draft, send out e-mails, ensure players don't get picked more than once, show who has paid, and organize the draft by showing the complete draft in grid form or by individual owners. It really should make drafting in two leagues a lot easier, especially for some of our less hardcore participants.
