Thanx to Ms LeMoose for the reminder message. I had tried to sign up back in August when it turned out to be shut down and was waiting to be told it was open.
I have probably brought this up before, but not last year I think, because I had to wheedle my way in at the last minute. Is there any interest in increasing the number of transactions from 30 to say, 40 or 50? A little more flexibility, but definitely not enough to allow the daily 'streaming' that discomfited some managers back in the day. (Ah, that was fun!)
My totally unreliable memory tells me that Yahoo! does not allow a league to set any number of transactions it wants, but only allows a few options. What's the next highest than 30?
Last year I made a conceptual early drafting mistake. I ain't doing that again. Good luck to all!

If we can get some consensus, the number can be set at anything below 100. I certainly don't want this to be a huge increase if any.
On another topic, I'll get the draft tool for Katenatid set up and paid for.

Superfreak, you are the sole remaining un-signedup manager, are you going to join us this year. Join in or let us know otherwise.

40? If I beg and plead, can I get it from 30 to 40?

As soon as everyone is signed up, we should get a move on.
Here is who has signed up currently.
philflyboy Dr. Doom Taxman Toral Mario LeMoose Little M123 Curby ira7
We need superfreak, vincible, PermDude and CanesOnIce to get onto Kafenatid.
If you can get in touch with anyone who is not and can motivate (urge) them, please do so. As soon as we are all in, I will set the order and we can get started.
Right now we have no clock, we will start the draft that way, and re-evaluate as the draft progresses. We have a history of tardiness, let's set the ground rules and everyone will have to deal with them. When we project a start date that extends into the season, the clock will be instituted but not before the weekend is over.

I'll sign up, but I'll need someone to assist with drafting for me. I'm going overseas for the next 3 weeks...Bad timing.. I know.
I'm not too picky with who i get. I'll try to be available via hotel internet. thanks.
I'll send doom my kafenatid id and pwd.

Pretty much every place worth going besides Perth, which is on the complete oppposite side of the continent.
I'm living in Byron Bay (I'm sure you'll hear about it, its tourist beach destination #1 in Australia), its about an hour south of Surfer's Paradise on the Gold Coast. I could give you a few suggestions of fun things to do if you're having difficulty planning

I may be tardy with my first pick (depending on how much notice I get and when the thing starts) but should be able to move smoothly after that.

Everyone is registered. The draft order has been randomized, an email has been sent from the Yahoo hockey league. We are starting now. No clock, so don't get impatient at least for the first round.
Training camps are barely underway, but the season starts in little over a week.
Here is the order that has been established.

Try and use queues and designated pickers.

first pick made. Woohoo finally have Crosby on a team

OK, thanx. I may not even pick till late tonight. My 1st round pick (Jagr) ruined my year. But once we get going and into the 2nd round I will be prompt.
BTW -- are non-Yahoo! listed players (e.g. Sarah Palin) eligible?
|
35 | Little M
ID: 381111416 Mon, Sep 22, 2008, 17:57

I can't remember how the queue works. I have set up a queue, so will Kafenated automatically pick the top player remaining from my queue or do I need to have a designated picker to manually make the selection?
|
36 | Dr. Doom
ID: 175491523 Mon, Sep 22, 2008, 19:41

As long as the queue is made available, the admin (me) can make your picks, I am pretty sure they won't be made automatically. Designated pickers can also make your picks.
|

I am out for the night. I have set up a small queue and made it available for Dr. Doom. I don't know if the queue will last to my pick, but at the rate we are going, I won't pick again until Friday so it probably doesn't matter.

I have left another small queue. I will try to check in later.

The draft may stall at the end of round 3. I hope we don't have to wait until the check arrives at the Kafenatid household to resume. It's on the way, but hasn't arrived yet.

If anyone is interested, please shoot me an email and I can catch you up to speeed.

I'll be away till early this evening. I've left a queue that should last one round if Kafenatifd resumes, but if we get to a 2nd don't expect a pick till early this evening.

I am off for a few hours to golf. I have someone else monitoring the draft. When I get back,hopefully we have progressed, but I will turn on the draft clock will be turned on. This probably should have been done a while back, but we are making pretty good progress and I hoped we could be attentive enough to not institute it.
I apologize for the stall in the draft, typically I wait for the draft to start, and send the payment to Kafenatid by cheque (I don't have a paypal account), and the draft just keeps trucking, for some reason it didn't work this time. I had a buddy use his Paypal so we could get resumed. Lesson learned, sorry.
The season starts soon, I am very much looking forward to it.

I won't have much access to a computer for the rest of the weekend. I have set up a queue and hopefully it will last. If not, just skip me and I will make my pick later.

Our draft has its own discussion forum at kafenatid.net ... can we please use that for posting messages? There's also a link at the bottom of each page that you can click to "watch this topic"; an e-mail will be sent whenever someone posts a message to the forum.
