Okay all, with RIHC leagues forming and baseball finally nearing an end, it's time to get geared up for the 8th season of G20 Hoops!! As always, there are a dozen little things to do, but first and foremost, we need to get confirmations on who is returning to the league for this season! Please post as to whether or not you are returning.

Instructions for signing up for the kafenatid.net draft were emailed last night. 14 managers have already registered - thanks.

The following 6 managers still need to sign up. If you did not get the registration info, let me know (or check your spam folder).

Are the dates in post 62 still operative?

Keepers by Thursday (if so, where's the thread?)

Draft clock starts on Saturday?

Or will these dates be pushed back a few days?

As noted earlier, I will be away until Sunday evening. Seeing as how I have 4 picks in the top 10, I don't know if a queue would work for those picks.

I might get internet connection at the retreat place, but no guarantees.

I'm signed up for the draft. I'd like to thank Species and Guru for the hard work they are putting in. It is appreciated! Sad to see Ref go, but at least I have a chance to get Dirk now. ;-)

Just curious:

Can someone without commissioner abilities try this link to see if it works:
http://games.espn.go.com/fba/tools/showkeepers?leagueId=43470

I'm hoping that it is available to all league members, in which case we can use it as the master keeper source.

I know it says the keeper deadline is Monday, but we will need to push that forward, in all likelihood. However, the ESPN system only allows for Monday keeper dates (which seems quite odd.)

I have offered to honcho the draft, and Species has accepted my offer, given his schedule difficulties and occasional forum blockages.

So here is my plan:

1. Keepers are due by 3PM ET (noon PT) Saturday, Oct 17. I will set up a separate thread for you to post your keepers.

2. You must also register for the draft at kafenatid.net by the keeper deadline. This is essential, as I must input keepers and draft picks trades before we start the draft, but I cannot do that until all managers are signed up.

3. The draft will start on an untimed basis as soon as I can get kafenatid set up. This will probably be some time on Sunday.

4. The draft clock will start on Monday morning. We will try to adhere to similar timing standards as in previous years, although kafenatid cannot monitor a cumulative clock limitation. I can try to do that manually, however, if needed.

Given prior RIHC drafts, I would expect the draft to require 5-6 days. That should complete the draft by next Friday or Saturday.

Lets just put 4 hours or whatever is a reasonable time limit on it and forget the cumulative clock. Its just too much work for those not familiar with how to do it and we should blow through the 120 picks on Kafentid in no time with the emails notices and quick ques and everything.

I would only plan to impose a cumulative clock limit if a manager has been chronically tardy and we need to move ahead. I certainly do not plan to track cumulative clocks for everyone.

The Keeper declaration thread has now been set up.

All teams should post keepers in that thread before the deadline of 3pm ET on Saturday, Oct 17.

I apparently don't have commish powers on ESPN. Tosh - any help? Or will I have to somehow get Ref to do it?

I know Ref would want to keep the "spirit" of the G20 leagues -- high attention, high participation, high standards -- up by continuing to have us use the tight per-pick and cumulative clocks. So long as there are no objections to having it be more objective per Guru in posts 126 and 128, then I am game. Just no bitching if you are the person called out - and with my schedule this weekend, that includes myself!!

Thanks Guru for administering the draft.

For those looking to make a trade with me (I am offering up one of my 4 first round, top 10 picks, as well as one of my keepers for a high level player), please be advised that I am leaving at about 10:00 am on Friday so I would need to have my keepers finalized by then.

My keepers:

LaMarcus Aldridge, Por PF, C
Rajon Rondo, Bos PG
Josh Howard*, Dal SF
O.J. Mayo, Mem SG
Mike Conley, Mem PG
Al Thornton, LAC SF

My First Round Picks:

6th overall
7th overall
9th overall
10th overall

If you see something that can be worked out, send me an email.

I do have commish capabilities, but I can't find anywhere to add that capability to others, so maybe that is solely controlled through Ref's account.

Right now I've got 8 tentative keepers:

Roger Mason, SG
Jason Terry, Dal PG/SG
Richard Jefferson, SF
Kevin Martin, Sac SG
Luis Scola, Hou PF/C
Allen Iverson, Mem SG
Andre Miller, Por PG
Ray Allen, Bos SG

I realize that SG are plentiful, but Terry and Mason are on the outside looking in right now. If anyone wants to lock them up, I'm happy to entertain offers. Jason Terry, in particular, will be painful for me to cut with his 17 ppg and steal/game numbers.

Assuming the current trade isn't going to be voted down by the league, Dave R and I announce a trade:

Dave R gets Andre Miller + PD's 4th round pick

PD gets Dave R's 2nd round pick (and I get to keep Terry).

Sent.

The kafenatid registration instructions were sent to all managers via the email link at the ESPN site. If you didn't receive it, you might want to check your spam folder, or else make sure that the email address at the league site is accurate. Otherwise, you won't be receiving any trade offers or any other site-generated emails.

Registered at Kafenatid. I tried to change my e-mail at ESPN, but it won't let me. I still check the account that it is linked to, but it is mostly for junk now. If I don't respond right away I apologize, I'll see if I can get ESPN to change it.

Frick - to change your email, I think you have to change your email address for the master ESPN account.

Click on your name in the extreme upper right of the screen. Then click on the "Edit Profile" tab. Your email address is at the bottom of that page, where you should be able to change it.

After much debate, I am taking the #2 pick off the table.

I appreciate those who got to me with more than fair offers, but I can't justify giving up the pick for middle-level players.

Andrei Kirilenko is up for trade for a 3rd round pick, if anybody is interested...

I believe this is final list of draft picks for rounds 7-12 (treating our keepers as rounds 1-6). It reflects the grid in post 108, updated for the lottery and several recent trades.

If you find any errors, please speak up!

All keepers have been set up at ESPN, and all other players have been released. You can use the ESPN player universe to "scout" your draft opportunities now.

Although we will be using kafenatid for the draft itself, we'll try to keep ESPN updated as well, so that you can screen through the universe of available players.

I plan to activate the draft shortly after noon today.
