Does that work?

Oct 23 = no good for me. Damn these live drafts are hard to schedule.

Let's just slow form it

.

I'll start the bidding...
15$ for Klay Thompson.

You laugh, but for the first 3 years of this league, we slow-formed it. Ask BWW how that went. Every day there was a new set of 4 players to bid on, and it was a blind email bid process. Talk about a lot of work.

With ham's Oct 23 no changing to a limping yes, it will be the clear winner if Woody withdraws and WB returns. Before I do that I'd like to hear from WB that he wants back in and that Oct 23 6pm works for him. What say you WB?

Lets just pick a time everybody hates and use it.

I nominate 3 AM ET and 3 AM Turkey time at the same time. Or we can all go to WB house and have the draft live there at 3 AM in the morning.

Rock on. Let's do it at my house. Good luck concentrating with my 4 boys awake telling you who to draft!

Sadly yahoo drafts are not round the clock. They close at 9pm pacific time, and start at 6am pacific time. So there is a limit to how bad a job I can do of this. :-D

If you do 10/23 at 6pm, yes, I can do it. But I would hate to have JFrost drop out because we changed it.

If jfrost drops we have theman to replace.

I'm all about maximizing the number of managers who can make the draft. I hate to lose people but I'd rather lose one to gain two, then do nothing.

I'll reopen the league and send you another invite later today - might be a few hours as I'm stepping into a meeting where I'll be offline.

Thanks Floppy. I'll sign in when I get it. I really do hate to see Jeremy not in the league though.

Yeah, not too happy about this. I am very flexible with my times... but this week Tues/Wed are just bad. I (although I do get to see the Pistons vs. T-Wolves on Wed, so that is alright). Could we push it back one further week to the 30th?

30th is too late unless it's in the morning - games are going by 4pm pacific. Judging from the lack of popularity of the morning times on other weekdays, We aren't going to get 8 people saying they can make it on Thursday morning. Right now we have 8 for the 23rd at 6pm pacific. 9 if you are dropping, and if your replacement can make it. No other slot has more than 7.

I forgot the link to the survey, but how many problems arose with the night of Monday the 29th? I kind of liked the idea of going the day before games start. I'm just hoping it's not on Sunday the 28th, I have 3 drafts that day already...and I don't want to try two drafts at the same time with one being an auction.

I love the idea of the 29th!

Here's the deal: I hate to see JFrost have to drop the league because we changed the draft time. Go ahead and keep things how they are and I'll bow out for this year.

29th works for me. I just need to know if we are drafting on Sunday or not, since I would need to preset my auction values if we are.

jfrost · Post #76 » by **jfrost** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:00 pm

I will stay in even if the draft time is moved to tues.... I will just pre-rank my team. WB - stay in... the league will be more fun with more teams (and thanks for fighting for me).

Ok J, I'll stay in. Didn't want to see you go. BTW, I see a movement for Monday the 29th, fwiw that works for me too.

29 is fine with me also. Glad to see WB stay in since he talked me into joining in the first place.

Post #79 » by **floppymoose** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:01 pm

There is no movement for the 29th unless more people can make it than the 23rd. I'm not moving the draft time unless it gets more people making the draft. The time is currently set for Tues Oct 23.

We still need an extra person, don't we? Or is that TheMan?
