Congratulations to HoserNight in Canada for winning both the League and the playoffs. Sorry that I couldn't be more of a challenge in the finals, but I had been relying on my goaltending and it disappeared in the last two weeks.
I would also like to thank Dr. Doom for organizing the draft and administering the league. |

Toral...value pick of the draft..Shanahan..13th round
Queue instructions noted.
The herky jerky (most managers use the queue, the others avoid queue as if it were the plague) means that someone else may be executing your instructions as I will be around, but not checking every 10 minutes.

If we want to treat this as a mystery to solve, the witness we want to examine is: whoever made the 4 curby and pd pix within 3 minutes of Chip's timing out. (I assume someone made all of them from queues.)
This person is the equivalent of the Perry Mason client seen running out of the apartment building a few minutes after the murder was committed: he must have seen something. In particular, he can confirm that 'MISSED PICK' was entered in Ms Lemoose's space when he picked for Curby.

I have refreshed my queue.
I don't know what happed with Ms. Moose, but it seems like another good reason for leaving a queue.

I noticed that missed pick for Moose as well. I happened to check just as Chip timed out, then it jumped to Curby (who had a queue, and I picked Modin for him), then I took my two guys, then I picked Zhitnik for Curby.
At that point there was a new clock for Moose (as Toral noted), then the draft paused.
I dunno why Moose was skipped, but it certainly happened.
Moose, I'd be fine if you wanted to pick from the players I took after your skip. Lemme know.

BTW I've only got one guy in my queue (a sleeper I shouldn't be taking for another couple of rounds) but I'll be around and checking in. I'll turning my queue availability off but there should be no way I'll time out, even with the two hour clock.

I am waiting for Kafenatid to remove the weekend pause, my apologies.
I can manually advance the picks if they are missed every couple of hours. Right now that would leave Ira with about a half hour to make his pick.

As I mentioned last night the clock should be on two hours. I am waiting for Kafenatid to take off the weekend pause that I accidentally turned on.
The two hours elapsed for Ira, I moved it on.

9 man q left good for the both the 15th and 16th round. If all the players are gone by the time it to the 16th round you can pick for me, or skip the pick.

We are down to the last 4 picks. I am up to date on the Yahoo site for entering the players, when the draft is complete, I should be able to start the season.
Thanks to all for your help.

Doom I don't usually refer to Yahoo! rankings, but when I did yesterday, I noticed a lot of players were gone.
I concluded, correctly, 354 that you must have been adding players as the draft went along. Most commissioners don't do it that way, so I give you my appreciation.
--------------------------------------------
You can never tell early about draft speed. After getting off to a slow start, we went at warp speed.

If Chip is back to work for the night...you may have to pick a placeholder for him to activate the game tonight. Maybe the Mooster has a queue for him?
Great work on setting up/orchestrating/completing the draft.

Uh, no. He's on the clock during a draft pause.
Mind you, things are good. Not long ago some managers were wondering whether we'd be ready by week 3 or 4. We're pretty close to ready. Week 1 isn't a real week anyway; it might have been better to skip it just on principle.
The league, that is, is close to ready. My team is another story. Many of my players are over 35 years old, and may take a while to warm up.

Okay, all the rosters have been updated. If anyone is interested in verifying their teams please check on Yahoo.
I'll make the draft results final in the next couple of hours, so if you find something not right, it is easiest to fix it before then.

Thanks, Dr. Doom ... this has to be the fastest "slow" draft I've ever experienced. ;-)
Can you also set up the League page to display the all-time ATHS rankings? If you haven't done this with other Yahoo! leagues, the process is quite simple:
From the league's home page, click Commissioner Tools. Under League Management, click Edit League History (it's probably the last item in that block). Then, select the Edit Season link for a particular year and click the radio button for ATHS. Click "Save and Continue" to proceed to the next year (they should be displayed in reverse chronological order) and repeat the process. Click "Done" when completely finished. The result will be an "All Time" tab on the league page that, when selected, displays the first, second, and third place winners as well as the individual manager's final position if he/she participated in the league during that year. There will also be a by-season drop-down that produces each season's playoff results, regular season standings ... and more.

Is it permissible to note that this feature which purports to record the so-called "all-time ATHS rankings" does not include the entire history of ATHS?

There's no "All-Time" tab on my league page.
But that's OK. Wow! Everything is there if you go to manager profile.
I had actually forgotten about 2002!
I remember 2002 now.
It was after that year that , at the strong recommendation of KKB, the "Max Moves" setting was changed from "No maximum" to "30". So the horror of 2002 will never happen to the league again ;)

Hmmm...I had actually forgotten that "Maximum Moves" had been changed to 30. If I had remembered that, I wouldn't have drafted a team fill of 38-year old men.
This is now going to require some careful strategy.

Toral, are you sure there's no All Time tab? It should be displayed on the league's home page thusly:
Standings - Schedule - Playoffs - All Time, then, on the right, a link to Head-to-Head Stats

I'm in. Had a nice run toward the end of last season (after a string of stupid matchup play decisions), and would like to build on that. I won 4 more games than Toral (and had 2 fewer losses) and finished 3 places behind him! That's just bad matchup play on my part.

The fantasy hockey registration button was on the site in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (not a figment of my sleep-deprived imagination). You're right, pfb ... all along it had been "late August" and now that's been changed to "early September."
