FFL 2023 - 2024 - Live Draft on Yahoo - 22nd of Oct Sunday 3 pm EST

Post #21 » by **Curtis Lemansky** » Wed Dec 9, 2020 6:21 am

I have sent a last notice email via yahoo to all GMs who have not posted here so far and gave them time until Friday 11th.

Then we will decide on a date and time for the live draft. The live draft will take place on the weekend before the season starts (so 19th or 20th). If you have a previous engagement on those dates and have a time that ABSOLUTELY does not work for you, please notify me in advance.

That seems to be the weekend that all my leagues are drafting. Any time before 1pm eastern on Saturday (12/19) or before 3pm eastern on Sunday (12/20) seem like the best options for me.

Friday (12/18) seems like a good day as well. Any time after 5pm would work for me.

I like Saturday morning (PST) best, and can go as early as needed, but could also do Friday morning. Friday evening is my 21st anniversary with my wife, so I'll be completely out if it's that night. I'm also out most of Sunday - I'm a leader in a congregation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and so I'm busy until the early afternoon that day. I could do 2pm (PST) or later on Sunday.

in - didnt see this thread until now. My preferred email was incorrect and I can't see that email. I've corrected it - please resend any league emails you want me to see.

As for draft times i'm fairly flexible but cannot do Saturdays from 4 to 10pm PST.

I won't be available after noon Eastern time to about 10 pm on the 19th. Other times that weekend should be ok.

Any objections?

I have a conflict after 11 AM est on Saturday, so I might need to switch to auto-drafting at some point. Any chance that we can start at 9:30 AM est or do we have some west coasters?

West coaster here, and I don’t mind the earlier time.

I'm OK with whatever time change. I also might have a friend who's up for a challenge

Post #33 » by **floppymoose** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 11:19 pm

That's a pretty rough time for me. (west coast). I'd rather do a different day altogether than go that early.

writersblock · Post #34 » by **writersblock** » Tue Dec 15, 2020 3:29 am

I'm good with as early as you want to go on Saturday morning. Fact is that we're never going to find a time that we're all going to be able to meet for, and if anyone needs to set autodraft, that might just have to be how things go this season. I may need to autodraft at some point too...but this is just going to be a really crazy season.
I also have a friend who can take an open spot.

We don't have another day. Friday is a workday so it will create more problems for people regardless of whichever time slot we pick.

Sunday is a no-go since WB already said he won't be available. You are not available on Saturday evening after 4 + pm PST as well. There are other gm's who said they wont be available after 1 pm EST on Saturday. Saturday morning is the only viable option, getting up at 7 am for the draft should not be that much inconvenient, I have gotten up for drafts at 3 am.

Let's keep it at 10 am because we do have some west coasters apparently.

I'm in... hopefully I'll be able to make the whole draft also

Saturday is fine with me. I will likely set my list as well just to be on the safe side.

Timing works for me! When will draft order be determined?
