Electroman you are "on the clock". I would like to start the clock for the draft on the 14th. That's 8 days to set the draft order. So technically we'll have a 12 hour clock. If the guy in front of you doesn't pick in 12 hours (depending on if they say they will be out of town) you can go ahead and pick. You should be able to check once a day right? Sounds good. Still waiting for the 3 to sign up for the league and 2 to sign up for kafenatid. Not going to lie, I really enjoy this commishing stuff. I will be working at a festival the next week so I won't have during the day access. I will try to check and make sure everything is running smoothly and to make my pick.
Also: Hall of Fame game was tonight. Can sense the season starting? I love it!

boikin, we are getting 12 hours to make our selection on which slot we want in the draft. Once the draft starts I'll make a guess that the clock will be more like 4 hours. I would have serious doubts that we could get done.

Yah, Frick you are correct. We have 14 people. We are not picking for which draft position we have. The day after that finishes I will set up Kafenatid to start. I think Guru usually has a 6 hour clock. I'll have to look at his rules.
boikin
You still need to sign up for the AOL league. I'll resend the invite.
If anyone is able to can they double check the rules against Guru's. Thanks!

Holt - Fugazi is your brother, right? can you let him know he's up to choose his spot in the draft? i don't think he's posted in either of these threads for 10 days, so he may not be even aware.
Kyle - does that 12 hour span include overnight hours? if so, i'll choose my slot later this morning.

PV That's fine since you really don't get to pick your spot. You'll get an e-mail when the actual draft starts.
I will be in NYC from the 10th to the 15th and in Indy from the 17th to the 19th. It should be fine to run the draft untimed until the 19th and then on Monday the 20th at 8:00 AM EST start the clock up. I'll have access in NYC but will be without in Indy. I am sure the draft will have started untimed by then and I'll have a q set up. Be that as it may I'll leave whoever is drafting around me my cell# and ask for a text update if they would be willing.
I sent twilson a friendly e-mail letting him know that he is up to pick.

I'm in the same situation as Kyle on the 17th to 19th. I may or may not have access as I'll also be in Indianapolis for a wedding. I'm hoping that the hotel has a business center/web access, or I might be able to sneak off and visit some friends and see if I can login from one of their houses.

It does appear that many of the non regulars are difficult to reach and seemingly unaware of their obligations to the league- I really hope this does not carryover to the draft- Rotoguru drafts have historically progressed very well.

Ok, if twilson gets his pick in today I will set the draft order and start the draft untimed. If you don't want to make your pick and you would like to wait you can do so. I am only starting the untimed draft today because I will be in Nowheresville, Southern Indiana tonight and the Indy Airport--->NYC Airport tomorrow. Thanks! I'll send out an e-mail when I get the draft order set.

I do not plan to make any picks until at least Tuesday 8/14. All NFL teams will have played one preseason game by then.
In post 28 Kile mentioned that the he would start the clock on Monday 8/20 at 8:00 AM EST. Are we expected to make picks before the 20th?
I prefer starting the draft as late as we can. But still have enough time to complete the draft and set up the league before the season starts. What date are we expected to start making draft picks?

i think we can usually get about a round a day, not counting weekends. Things will go much quicker if people leave queues, and do them properly. I think we absolutely need to start the draft before the 20th in order to get it in without people getting nervous about not finishing.

Last year AAA #2 started on the 15th. Real games started on the 7th.
This year the real games start on the 6th. I figured we'd start the clock on the 14th, but if I started the untimed draft today and we got through 1-2 rounds before the 14th we wouldn't have to start the clock until 20th. That was my thinking. We could put it to a vote if you really want.

no need for a vote, but td said he didnt plan on picking til the 14th atleast. That is 5 days from now. I have done these leagues since they started and I know around August 31st we will be in about the 14th round give or take and people are going to be getting angry at people who use alot of clock. The way around that is start earlier.

No need for a vote. I just prefer waiting until after this weekends games to start the draft. I would hate to see someone make a 1st round pick and then have that player injured and out for the season in the first preseason game. I know that injuries can happen anytime, but why start the draft early if we don't have to?
That said, if the consensus is to start the draft now, I will make my pick in a timely manner.

We are waiting on Fugazi to join Kafenatid and then I will be able to put in the draft order.
I'll delay starting the draft until Sunday, the 12th. Sunday at 7am EST (or there abouts) the draft will start untimed and will continue to be untimed until Tuesday the 14th when the 6 hour clock will start at 7am EST. Moratorium periods will be between 11pm and 7am EST on weekdays and the clock will also pause from 11pm EST Friday to 7 PM EST Monday. This is how the big league does it and we shall follow suit. Happy Drafting all!!

wiggs, I'm going to set you as my DP also if that is ok with you. I'm going to be without internet from Friday around noon until Saturday afternoon. I'll set up a queue long enough for 2 rounds. Anyone else want to be added to my DP list for this weekend?
FYI, if anyone is new to Kafenatid you need add other managers to your DP list and turn on the ability for them to pick for you. You can turn the ability on and off depending on your availability.

Have the other qualifying leagues started yet?
We set a start date as of Tuesday the 12th. I suggest that we start the clock, and when the 6 hours is up we proceed. If he has not picked when his 2nd round pick is timed out we pick the top 3 players on the board (there is a precedent of that in the RIFC from a couple of years ago.)
Just my $.02, but I'll quietly sit in the corner until the commish chimes in.

I hope and expect Electroman to make his pick sometime today. He posted on Tuesday, so he is checking this message board. He probably just forgot that the draft was starting today.
I suggest starting the 6 hour clock at 5pm EST. That would give him until tommorow morning to make his pick. I think it is reasonable to expect him to check in at least once a day prior to the draft starting.
I also think we should keep the clock running on weekends.

Sorry guys. I am back from vaca and I wasn't able to make it to a internet cafe in NYC, I was extremely busy the whole time and it was amazing. I'll start the clock up tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to get through a round today.
Building 7 and I are working out a trade right now, and if anyone else works out a deal for draft picks post them here. Then I can actually put it into Kafenatid.
Also Kafenatid allows at least me to see whether or not you have a Q set up. It won't allow me to see the Q, but I can see if you have it set up. Please try to set one up even if you don't think you'll be gone for a long time

I agree about having the clock start up, but if we start the clock the first day the draft started I don't find that fair. I will start the clock tomorrow. You will have had 24 hours to check the draft by then.
I'll set it up so that the clock starts tomorrow morning at 7am EST. It will be a 6 hour draft.

I'm heading out for the weekend, I left a 30 person queue, which should get me through the next 2 rounds. I would prefer that the clock stop for the weekend as I'm not all that comfortable with leaving this long of a queue this early in the draft, but I'm willing to do it. I'm not going to leave a longer queue, if it I get skipped the first time, I kindly ask that you pick for me for on subsequent picks. I don't think it is likely that we get to my 4th round pick by Sunday evening, but I have seen stranger things happen.

Never mind #96. Looks like our commish bailed early on us. He said he would be away for the weekend, but it looks like he got a jump on the traffic. Too bad he didn't say anything about Friday afternoon/evening or leave a short queue. We might have gotten another round in. 53 minutes and he would have timed out if we had the 6 hour clock he said we were having. Instead, it's an 8 hour clock and he gets 2 extra hours to hold us up on Monday. Very rude and disrespectful to the league. Thanks for the heads up.
Had I known he was leaving Friday afternoon, I would have stopped checking hours ago. That's what annoys me.
Guess we're done and will have to bust it next week. That sucks.

So as I understand it this draft is done until sometime Monday so i can stop checking it? By the way I am PDT so I will hold things up until noon/1 Pm EDT Monday and after sitting idle for 3 days I am not going to be in any mood to queue my #2 pick.
I think I might know why AAA #1 filled so quickly LOL.I really don't quite understand this- every other RGIL draft I have ever been in has had very dedicated managers who act responsibly and move the draft along quite briskly. This one couldn't even set the order in a timely manner and halts for 3 days after 18 picks ????

And dedicated commissioners. If you don't have internet access, you can't draft in this league, let alone run it. I had to take over as commish in AA, last year, because the original guy had sketchy internet access. This guy is just a rude, inconsiderate jerk.

I'm sorry to see this happening. I would really suggest taking some sort of vote to see if the rest of the league is ok with continuing the draft via the forums and just timing out the other guy's picks.
I agree that it is extremely inconsiderate to completely halt a draft because you're going away for a weekend. You shouldn't sign up for these things if you know you can't be committed. Hopefully you guys can finish in time :/

i am 100 percent behind post 103 from Bonka.
i am going to be extremely busy from Wednesday through Sunday next week, with guests in my apartment, a Mets game, and two pro wrestling events.
thusly, i'd like to see the clock suspended during that time frame.
that isn't a fair request from me, and i'm shocked that is EXACTLY what is going to happen this weekend.
of course, we have a problem with Frick being gone, because if he left his queue on the kafenatid site, there is no way to access it.
but if we can, i say we draft on these boards, post the picks already taken, and move on with the draft. no way in hell do i want to sit and not have any picks go by for 3 days...

Is there a way that we can see if Kyle left a Q? I really doubt that he did this on purpose. He seems to be all over the place these days, and maybe he just honestly forgot to make his Q available. If there are players in the Q, could it be made available for us to pick for him. Also, he mentioned in a post that he was going to leave his phone # to people around him in the draft. Did he?

Electro, he said he was not running a clock this weekend and was leaving. No mention of a queue or even the fact that he was actually leaving Friday afternoon. I appreciate you wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt, but looking back, I feel that this entire event was premeditated. Why else SAY you're going to run a 6 hour clock, then run an 8 hour clock.
This is a very serious situation that threatens the life of this league. I know that Guru is just returning from vacation, but I'd like to hear an opinion from him on this matter.
I think Kyle may have blown this and cannot be an effective commissioner for this league. People (including me) are very unhappy about how this league has been run. Kyle's going to come back on Monday and have to flog us to finish on time. Mainly because he's dragged his feet. And that's not going to sit well with this league.

As I understand it, the RIFC minor leagues are to mirror the RIFC in every way possible.
This would include the rules not only for the regular season, but drafting procedure as well.
From Guru's opening post in the RIFC 2007: draft discussion
The clock will start on Thursday morning, but I will activate the draft on Wednesday. The clock will be set at 6 hours, with a moratorium from 11pm-7am EDT. If the clock expires, the next person in line will get to draft, and the skipped drafter will make up his skipped pick whenever he can. The clock will continue to run on weekends.
One of the main responsibilities of the minor league commissioners is to follow the template of the main RIFC league, as well as set up the AOL league and enter the players. Any deviation of RIFC procedure compromises the integrity of the league, making it just another fantasy football league.
Even then, making clock decisions without a consensus, and failing to leave a que, essentially stopping the draft for three days, is unacceptable in any league.
IMO, Kyle timed out after six hours and the next person in line will get to draft, and the skipped drafter will make up his skipped pick whenever he can.

I totally agree, but Frick, who is also away this weekend HAS left a long queue on Kafenatid, which we don't have access to. Doesn't seem fair to penalize him. So we really don't have much we can do without a ruling or help from Guru. If it was that easy, I'd volunteer to take over as commish, so that we may precede.

We'll have to. He'll have to continue to shorten the clock and flog us to get done on time. To accommodate his busy schedule. And there's no excuse for continuing to drag your feet getting started and then going MIA for 3 days with no word and no queue. Especially with the queue system in Kafenatid. How many people have run their entire draft using a queue? Not many, but it has been done in dire circumstances. A 9 man queue would have gotten him past the second round. I guess it was just easier to manipulate the entire draft to accommodate himself.
OK, I'm going to summarize this event to either create a public record or whatever. Please correct me if I'm wrong or add your 2 cents.
Our commish has made many promises:
-To start our draft clock on Tuesday the 14th (post #2 on this thread). He was out of town on the 14th, so he revised the plan to start the draft and the clock on Thursday, the 16th (Post 52).
-Did open the draft on the 16th, as promised, but refused to start the clock (post 78).
-Said that the clock would be 6 hours (51 and 78), but instead set it for 8 hours on Friday, the 17th.
-Stated that since 2 people (him and Frick), would be out of touch this weekend, he would not run the clock (80). Frick set up a 30 player queue on Kafenatid to get through rounds 2 and 3. The commish said something about setting up a queue and giving his cell # to some people (28), but so far, there's no sign of either of those things happening. I suppose that he could have set a queue, but failed to make it available. There's been no communication anywhere telling us that he actually really set one up.
The draft finally got going in earnest on Friday. He made his 1.10 pick sometime after 1:02PM, after I made pick 1.09. I don't remember exactly when he picked, but we turned the corner at 4:44 PM and his 2.05 pick came up at 5:53 PM.
He's been MIA since making his 1.10 pick. By starting the clock at 8 hours instead of 6, he may have bolted as early as right after he made his 1.10 pick, knowing he'd be long gone and in no danger of timing out by the time it came back to him. That's why I think this thing was totally premeditated.
I'll go as far as to say he volunteered to commish this league knowing that the only way he'd be able to participate would be to manipulate the draft around his busy schedule.
Yes, these are serious charges, but I think this guy is on some kind of power trip. Look at post 2. Not going to lie, I really enjoy this commishing stuff.
At 7:07PM, I alerted those drafting above me that I was around and would be picking right after pick 2.05 was made (96). We're still waiting. After that, we began to realize that something wasn't right.
Did I miss anything?

Well, it is pretty annoying yes... And I must say, if Monday comes around and we must change the draft time to make it much shorter between picks, that does upset me a bit. I work for a company that has a high security setup, which means internet setup is little to none... Basically CNN and weather.com is about all we can view.
Just going to make it tough for me to be around any for my picks if the clock drops to 4 hours.
With that being said, I know i've been in several leagues with Kyle and don't believe there has ever been any problems..
It is whatever Guru decides...

i agree with the post above about mirroring the RIFC in everyway, including the draft. a 3 day freeze on the draft right now is absurd, and it's reason for mutiny.
the big if, again, is if we can access frick's queue, and we'll need fred to let us know if this is doable...

two major differences

2) they will have a 6 hour clock not an 8 hour clock

Holt - i think issues you're overlooking are:
1. now, because one person put the draft on hold for themselves - violating RIFC standards in the process - other people may find themselves at a disadvantage because the draft has to be rushed a bit more.
2. this one person is the commish. there's a faith and trust issue here as to whether someone who does this sort of thing can be trust to make fair and reasonable decisions - if necessary - during the course of the season, because, this decision was certainly not fair, nor reasonable.

another thing that really burns me on this is that i'm in the midst of being a commish for another league. it's our second season, there are a lot of people in the league who have never done a keeper league before, and only a couple of us have ever used kafenatid before.
but one-by-one, we got them signed up, we got the draft going, and except for one guy who timed out today, people are leaving queues, checking their emails to see if they're up, etc etc, and i'll be damned, it's pretty much so far the smoothest draft i've ever helmed...

Tree- If I remember correctly you were commissioner of my AAA football league 2 years ago which went smoothly w/o a hitch- I don't think you had to beat on us at all
One of the things I always loved about all the Rotoguru league's is that we didn't have problems like this- To be fair this 3 day hiatus is ridiculous but this particular league was showing signs of diligence problems from day 1.

I don't want to use hindsight, but this draft should have started untimed at the begining of the week. That would have saved the problem with my first pick as I already explained. Also, with the busy schedual he had, someone should have co-commished this league.
We all saw this coming I am sure.

I was asked to weigh in.
Very disappointing situation. I don't believe we've ever had a serious problem with a Commish before.
By and large, I think the league is going to need to figure out how to handle this. If the league members feel strongly that the current Commish cannot fulfill the duties in the best interests of the league, then it is not too late to depose him - but time is fleeting. I suppose that, if absolutely necessary, the draft could extend up to Saturday, Sept 8, even though the season starts with a Thursday night game (Sept 6). Obviously, that is not a desirable resolution, but you'll have to figure out whether it is better to "step on it" to finish on time, or to deal with the complications of a late finish. Particularly as the draft progresses, it should be less troublesome for people to set up queues if there are access issues.
Either way, I think you need to resolve this Monday. Changing Commissioners probably involves some registration headaches. ( Perhaps Fred could make the necessary changes to adjust the Commissioner mid-draft at kafenatid.net, but perhaps not.) There is also the matter of the setup of the league at the hosting site, although it may be possible to reload from scratch there.
FWIW, the Commissioner should be responsible for ensuring the appropriate pacing and standards for the draft and for the league. The timing standards do not have to exactly replicate those of the RIFC - and sometimes, leagues have adopted different standards (slower or faster clocks, different moratoriums, etc.) Without having studied all of the posts above in detail, there are some troubling issues raised.
Good luck.

Thanks Guru. In the past, I have had Fred change commish control and I still have last year's AA league set up on AOL. Just need to resend invites and you guys accept and change the team name.
The Kafenatid transfer will probably depend on Kyle's cooperation, as he's probably paid for it. If necessary, I'll purchase another draft, reset the picks and trades and we'll resume the draft at pick 2.05 with a replacement.
The replies from my email seem to want Kyle to step down as commish, but continue as a manager. I guess that depends on his level of cooperation. If he willingly turns over the reigns, he could probably stay. If not,he'll have to be replaced. I've already worked that out, if needed.
But first, we should give Kyle a chance to explain himself. We need to complete that process as early as possible, on Monday so we can move on with the draft. I think we can still finish on time, but it will take a supreme effort by every manager and the use of queues, especially in the later rounds. Most of those later picks have been proven to be WW fodder in any event.
I'll compose an email and send it to Kyle, stating our perceived problems and that we propose to replace him. The next step is up to him. Perhaps he'll have a legitimate reason for his actions. We'll see.

Mjd -
If you use last year's AA info, I think you can just rename the
league, delete the managers and fill in with new ones without
having to reload the scoring data. I would try it as it would save
a TON of time.
I would recommend, however, that you tweak the schedule. Last
year, there were a few weeks (the bookend ones) where we
played the same set of teams again, and I don't think that should
happen. If you want the spreadsheet I used to redo the
schedule, let me know. It is at home, so it would be tomorrow.
Good luck.

Who cares what kyle wants? lets get this thing rolling. don't really want him in this league now anyway. he has screwed this thing up beyond repair in my eyes. let's just replace him and get this thing rolling with a 4 hour clock. QUICK!

a four hour clock is just too short to start the draft. hopefully, people will use good faith when possible and we won't have to worry about it, but within the first few rounds, it would be a problem for a clock that short.

6 hours for some will be inevitable now.... Leaving queue's always seems to not work out... There has to be a strategy in the draft, especially the RIFC leagues...
I would rather just do the whole draft on one night, then leave queues of some players I may or may not want...

Sorry I didn't leave ample information about my being gone this weekend. I also appologize for disappointing you guys. I was trying to get the draft started so we could deal with absences, but that didn't work out. I also appologize as I must not have had my queue turned on. I left a queue and still have a player left in it. I appologize for letting you all down. I will be here to manage the draft until the end if you will allow me. I am seriously upset to let you all down like this.
I feel like we will be able to finish this draft since the AAA #1 is still on the first round.
I will also re-read the rules for the RIFC and see if I am missing anything. I thought last year in AAA #2 we had a weekend pause. I must have been incorrect.
Hopefully the AAA #2 league will carry on despite this bad start.

It figures we'd get bogged down somewhere as we haven't made a pick in over 48 hours. I've gotten no email replies from Building 7/bjclinton0 and his Q is empty/unavailable. Hopefully he'll check in soon.

Wish it was a little closer to me or later in the draft, I'd leave a Q. But just can't yet. My next pick depends on who goes off the board in the next few picks. I'lI be back no later than 12 to 1PM to make my pick.

I don't know what just happened but I was sure I had turned my queue off- I was waiting for twilson to pick- next thing I knew someone had picked Norwood for me when I wanted Evans- Oh well LOL- So much for my queue-I emptied it now.

Not a problem MJD- I was too lazy to change my queue late last night and thought I had the damn thing off- from now on I'll keep the queue empty unless I want it to be used- actually the queue you used was left over from my 3rd pick- Norwood is not a horrible pick esp if Dunn reinjures himself- although I think I needed a #1 WR a lot more than a #3 RB, but I seriously doubt my screw up will have a significant effect overall.
