Serious Dynasty League - Back to Back Champ

I'm out of town all day Saturday and will be back around lunch time on Sunday. Other than that I am good to go at any point. Season starts Tuesday so I know it is becoming a time crunch.

Anybody have issues with:

Late night, Wednesday, Friday or Monday.

Or any time from Sunday afternoon on.

mock drafts you can join for free - find an auction, join.

It is a typical auction draft run through ESPN.

Just how you would do a football draft.

I will have all players added to rosters and have the budgets corrected for each team once the RFA ends tomorrow. Each team will have a different budget and different amount of players. So it will be interesting to see what strategies teams employ. With roster spots being so small, I wouldn't think it would take that long either.

Never done fantasy football, so I guess it will be a fun experience.

I'll give a better run down then.

Basically you have a draft budget in dollars. It will be whatever remaining cap space you have.

It is an auction draft so everyone has the ability to get any player. In order each team will have a chance to nominate a player that is in the free agent pool (player not on roster), one after another. When that player is nominated, it becomes a bidding frenzy like you see in a real auction. There is a 30 second or so window to do this. Obviously highest bidder wins.

Then the next team nominates an available player and the feeding frenzy begins.

It's a lot of fun, but if you have time go on ESPN like Fats said and do some mock drafts to get the hang of it. It gets addicting to see what kind of teams you can come away with during the mocks.

Any of the late nights works for me, especially Wednesday or Monday.

I've got a big assignment that I'll be doing Sunday.

Thanks, I'll definitely do a few of these on my free time.

Wednesday and Saturday night doesn't suit me. Other than that I'm willing and understanding that I'll have to be up at night (+7 hours for me) to do this. Won't be at home those two nights though.

We haven't had anybody with issues for late Monday night.

Let me know if Monday night is good if you haven't responded. If everyone is OK with it then I will set it up ASAP for us.

It looks like it would have to be no earlier than 10 PM our time, so what is that? 5 AM for you?

yep. It's doable. I have woken up for west coast NBA games on weekdays before work or school before.

I think that would make it mid morning Tuesday for me which is great.

Monday works for me also.

Works for me. I cannot do any EST time between noon and 9:30 PM, especially on weekends. October is hell month for restaurants in the mountains.

Thinking about 10 PM. A few others have that time issue. I even think if we need to we can go 10:30. This draft shouldn't take long considering there are not many players to be drafted.

I just agreed to do a draft tomorrow night at 1 am....

So yeah 10 pm sounds great.

Just for confirmation.

I have set the draft for Monday at 10 PM.

Also two things I need:

Chabber how many years for Duncan? I can't remember if you have said or not, if so sorry.

Biz, I will need the rookie you draft before the draft so I can add him to your team.

I don't believe I did so no worries. 2 years for the big fundamental.
