- Leader [040625911] Wed, Oct 10, 2012, 01:40

Here are the basic rules we will be using:

Roster Positions (12/4): PG, SG, G, G, PF, SF, F, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN
Stat Categories (8): FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, BLK
Max games per position: 84
Roster moves: Daily

We will be using the extra bench spot vs having two DL spots to keep up with. Therefore the draft will be 16 rounds vs 15.

Everyone is now signed up in Yahoo, and need one more to register for Draftime. We will shoot for a draft start date of 10/22. We may start earlier with no clock, but then officially begin at noon ET on the 22nd.

I asked Guru to generate the random draft order for us so we can get started. We can then begin the process of picking our draft slots in each round. The draft will officially start next Monday, so we are still good on time.

Still need one person to sign up on Draftime. Everyone is in Yahoo so good to go there.

The draft is not planned to officially start until next Monday. The plan was to open it up over the weekend with no clock and then start the standard 4 hr clock Monday morning. We will give WonderB until noon today to make a pick, the we will move on.

Do you have a preference s R? Doesn't seem WJS cares from the earlier post. So either of you pick slot 9 or 10 and I'll get the order set.

We still need one manager to sign up in Draftime so I can set the order. Either Weykool or Wicked Jump Shot it appears is not registered (I don't recognize who point2bac is there). Whoever it is please get registered asap.

12:09 new news blurb on Mo williams.
2:30 pm see new news blurb on Mo williams.
2:31 to 2:40 invent many new ways to insert Mo williams into curse words.
2:41 be blessedly reassured that rotoworld THINKs he is fine but is watching him closly.

This is one of the fastest drafts I have ever been in, and we are on pace to finish in plenty of time to manage the roster before the regular season. We are also above pace of all of the other RIHC drafts.

Everyone, have some patience, we're doing great :)

i'm kinda curious as to how we'll allow somebody on the end 5+ hours to not make a pick, somebody else almost two hours (and counting) before their autopick, and completely disregard somebody averaging less than nine minutes per pick their 43 minute delay on the autopick

i agree with WJS on the fact he didn't get his delay. but, also,i've always been curious as to how selection is made for missed picks.what if the next pick's Q has rubio on top?
61Wicked Jump Shot

      Fri, Oct 26, 2012, 23:33
i believe the missed picks are made from the available players whenever that picker makes their picks (seems like that's how it was here, and it was like that with baseball)

This should also be the time that we should have a better idea what positions we need to fill.
I suggest we lower the clock to 2 hours, it should encourage more queue usage.
