Subject: Memorable Day in "the Chamber"
Posted by: Mike D
- Leader [041831612] Mon, Mar 05, 2007, 17:29
13 trades made (and pending) in one day. This on the heels of 2 in the last 2 days by one skinneej (through Ref and Farn).
Ref called it "Bloody Monday;" I call it "bloody good fun!"
Felt like I was in Trading Places, in the close-to-final scene where they were trading on Wall Street.
They'll be pushed tomorrow by our rules, opening the door for more. Deadline is Thursday. Tree is already calling for "Tuesday Trade Off," where everybody has to do at least one trade. I can't even tell who is in the Trades Made (TM) lead! Tomorrow will be clearer. I hope. |

Tentatively changed to 5:45 PM EST on Sunday.

I will reconsider as well. I am only doing one keeper league this year since it is weekly moves, but I am having some withdrawals at getting to do a redraft league. I am set up now at my work location for the next month, so I can try to be on for whatever time you guys set. Nights are better so I can be there live, but I will rank my players just in case.
Need Ref, RSF and a few others to make this league complete again. I will do my best to defend the secondary title (league winner)! :)

Anytime Friday.
Anytime Saturday.
Up til 3 PM Sunday.
Up til 5 PM Monday
Sure would suck if this Sunday won't work now, cause that Monday night I moved out of was the latest time available.
We could seriously just have everyone do a good, deep pre-rank and Autodraft it Monday night.
Everyone throw down some available times and quick - cause they keep disappearing.
I was really hoping for a live one though.

Sure. Or a completely auto-draft, once we're in an have a chance to pre-rank players.

I know Monday is bad for me as well. I will auto pick if need be. Really there is probably no good time for me right now. I will just pre rank and make alot of trades.

I'm ok with the weekend. Otherwise because of time zone and committments I'm probably auto drafting, which is definately fine. I will like my team less and be willing to trade more.

I just realized Saturday and Sunday are bad for me, unless it is later Sunday night. At this point trying to find a date convenient for all will be next to impossible. So
1) set the draft and let those how can't make it autodraft
2) set the time and have everyone autodraft
3) explore Tuesday even though the season starts that date. I see no downside to that option, if all are available
I think 2 or 3 make the most sense, personally

Well lets take an informal vote here. Most popular wins.
1) set the draft and let those how can't make it autodraft (Sunday at 5:45)
2) set the time and have everyone autodraft (I'll set up the Autodraft for Monday Night so players will be available for Tuesday morning)
3) explore Tuesday even though the season starts that date. I see no downside to that option, if all are available

FYI latest time Tuesday is 5 PM.
So thats not really an option either. It would have to be Wednesday - which means we are missing the first 2 days and would start with Thursday games.
Anyone who for example starts the Spurs would miss 2 games to start.

alright, based on these and a few emailed responses, we are gonna do the Sunday 5:45 and anyone who can't make it, just get a good solid ranking and AutoDraft that sucker. Not like anyone won't be able to turn their roster over in this league! lol...

Still got 3 holes to fill here... (I think Mike D has yet to sign up).
Ref and RFS? need you guys to check in so I can fill your spots if you aren't interested in returning this year.
And anyone else reading this who is not a member and is interested -- email me if you want to be put on the waiting list to join.
Draft is Sunday at 5:45 FYI (with a few of us autodrafting).

I've gotten a couple emails, also mentioned to Slizz the other day since he's a trading fiend... I will wait til tomorrow morning and see how many more nominations roll in then make a decision.
Obviously being able to make the draft will offer a leg up to anyone interested.

Tosh will be taking Ref's spot as he was the first to confirm after I sent out a few "official" invites.
Welcome to the club. I told him he should try and maintain a rate of one trade per week if he wants any chance at the TMC Belt (Trades Made Championship).

I learned my lesson last year. If you want to win the title you have to make a few trades during the year and then still put up the big number on Bloody Monday. I tried to make a strong finish but my poor performance all year hurt me.
