Guys, I'm trying to get this league up and running so we can be ready before the season starts.

The following 7 people have been invited to the league.

1. Me
2. Kyle
3. Donkey Hunter
4. wazaap_guy
5. GMoney
6. Roberts
7. wazaap_guy

After you join the league, you will also be invited to the draft website. I will send those invites out after I see you have joined on ESPN.

The following 4 managers have said they would run a 2nd team.

1. Weykool
2. Mike V
3. tommyd
4. Gescom

I'm going to wait another day to see if any new managers want in the league before inviting this list. If we can't get 12, we will just have a 10 team league.

If you need a 12th player, I would consider playing a 2nd team, although have preferred Yahoo in past.

Kyle, I resent your invite.

I will send out the rest of the invites to some of the managers who offered to play a 2nd team. I think I gave enough time to first time managers.

wazzup_guy hasn't joined the league yet.

I invited the rest of the players today.

Once everyone joins the espn league, I will send out the draft time invitations and we will start doing the draft order. We will try to get that done as quick as possible.

I sent out the invitations to draftime. I randomly selected two of the four managers who said they would run a 2nd team. I believe it was Mike V and tommyd.

If tommyd doesn't want to do it, maybe we can find a replacement.

Donkey's hunters 2nd friend also has to join the espn league. 10 out of 12 are signed up.

I'm signed up now. I have no problem doing it but I didn't want to take a spot from someone else who never had a chance to play. If noone else wants the spot I am more than happy to take it.

6. Team Towler
7. Kyle's EP

I haven't seen anywhere how the draft works, but since we're picking slots, I'm assuming it's serpentine?

alright, we have all 12 people signed into ESPN. 9 people are signed into draftime. I will figure out who still needs into draftime and send them an email.

Since we need to get this rolling, If you don't pick your slot, you will be skipped and we will move onto the next owner.

Jay G is up. I will give him some time to make his selection. I will be able to put the order into draftime and we can start the draft.

I will leave it untimed for now. But make sure you guys use your queue, if you know you wont be around. The more picks we make over the weekend equals the less worrying about finishing the draft next week.

I will email everyone when I get the draft going on draftime.

Hey guys I appologize but I'm out to dinner and then going to a show. When I made my round 2 pick I didn't think it would get to me this quick. It might be about 2 or 3 hours to get back to my cheat sheet

this isn't to kyle so much as the other guy, but if you're going to disappear for six hours arrange a queue
some of us would like to get the draft over with before the christmas day games, and i think it's evident in how quickly we pick
64damoose
      ID: 08121419
      Sat, Dec 17, 2011, 23:12
I will send him an email reminding him about using a queue. On Monday, I will start a timer. we used a 6 hour timer in football, but we had plenty of time before season. I was thinking 2-4 hours. If you don't pick, I will select the top rated player off my list. What do you guys think?

I would like to be done by atleast Thursday evening.

What if we use the top rated player off the ESPN projections, since that's the league we're using.

I would be fine with a 3 or 4 hour clock. 2 seems a little quick, considering my phone gets me e-mails about 15 minutes after my g-mail actually gets them, and it takes a little time to check the site via mobile or get to a computer to check you pick.

I hate to double post, but Roberts q is filled but unavailable. In the old Kafenatid system, the commish could see unavailable queues and draft from them. If he doesn't respond in a reasonable time, can we just pick from the queue he has set up right now?

Everyone just relax a little bit. Sorry I've been a bit slow - been travelling for he past few days. I tried to set a queue yesterday but didnt realize I had to click something else to actually have it auto-pick from my list.

The 4 hour limit is fine and if I'm slow, just keep going and ill make my pick after. But we definiteley shouldnt pick the top rated player for the person - that would screw up the whole's teams strategy (stats and positions).

I should have more regular access going forward, although am in a strange timezone. I'll set queues If I know I will be away for an extended period of time. We've made it through 4 rounds in two days, should have lots of time to get this done before tip off.

Now that we have the time limit, the only time where'd we would talk about making a pick is if an owner misses more than one round.

RE: 83

"Just to clarify - if you are not using Injury slots, then your league should be set for 12 starters and just 4 bench players - 16 total. You draft will be for 16 rounds."

That is a quote from an email I received when we were discussing setting the league up. I decided against using RIBC injury slots just in case something would happen (my wife is pregnant) where I would be away for a period of time and wouldn't have a chance to review rosters.
