It finally worked.

If we can't make the live draft, is there an auto pick option based on how we rank the players?

[Toddzilla]

strange - as of 5:51PM EDT

yeah, you can prerank your players, and the computer will draw off your list...when your list is expired, it will just use its default list

the most important thing about this is...if you know a player is hurt for a long time or out for the season by the time of the draft...make sure to move him to the bottom of the draft line...i have seen a lot of people on auto get screwed with guys that are on IR or even retired, but the computer still has them in the draft order.

[Julio Riddols]

I've been looking for a Live Draft 20 team league with these roster and scoring settings, so I am definitely in.

[duckman]

In.

[bosshogg23]

In

Still spots for 9 more teams.

[Wasabiak]

I'll play. Team name--Off In The Woods :)

[Lathum]

11 teams so far, lets get a full showing!!

[saldana]

btw all, since my team name describes what i normally am, but otherwise doesnt indicate whose team it is, I am Drunk all Season.

[duckman]

I'm the Shit Town Demons.

[TazFTW]

In as The Holdouts.

[gottimd]

I thought for sure someone would sign up as "Off in the Woods".

[Lathum]

front page bump.

Up to 12 teams for a tuesday night draft.

[Icy]

Toledo Linces signed up, i won't be able to assist to the draft as i'm going to be in Praga for holidays the whole week but i'll set my preference list.

[Greyroofoo]

Y'all will be owned by the Gnomeland Security

[Lathum]

Y'all will be owned by the Gnomeland Security
that may be the greatest fantasy name ever.

room for 7 more teams

[Wasabiak]

Lathum, question. W/R is just like a flex position, right?

[Lathum]

Lathum, question. W/R is just like a flex position, right?
yeah, you can use either a rb or wr at this spot

[Wasabiak]

One other question......Are the punt/kick return points scored for the player or for the defensive team?

[Lathum]

I believe the TD is a score for the player who returned the kick.

room for 5 more teams

[Greyroofoo]

Hey guys. I've been a long time reader of the forum but do not post. I have signed up for the leage. Team is Bababooey. Good luck all

Welcome to the board.

And note: The Ping: Drunk Guy thread is where all the cool posters hang out.


Edit: Time Stamp Bug strikes again!

[Wasabiak]

Just 3 teams left. This will be a fun first draft of the year! :)

[Wasabiak]

Hmmm.....The forum has turned into a time machine.

[BigMak]

Hey guys. I've been a long time reader of the forum but do not post. I have signed up for the leage. Team is Bababooey. Good luck all

good luck to you to, and welcome.

[Fouts]

17/20 teams filled, draft in 14 hours.

[gottimd]

What happens if we have an odd amount of teams? A bye week, thats poo poo! But we now have 16 I guess. I won't be drafting, but I moved some players off the list that I are on the IR already. Doesn't matter, I could draft all Punters and still win this thing, especially after I beat Off in the Woods.

[Toddzilla]

I dropped out - I can't make the draft and a knock-out busy day won't let me prep a draft list. Sorry dudes.

[Greyroofoo]

Is it too late to change my team name to "Sexual Nerves"?

[Schmidty]

Is it too late for me to get in on this?

[Wasabiak]

draft is at 6pm central. looks like there are 4 teams left.

[Schmidty]

Ok, I'm signed up. Where do we go once the live draft starts?

[Wasabiak]

I'm not sure, as i've never done a live draft on yahoo. I suspect we just log into the league and there will be some sort of prompt to join the live draft?

[Julio Riddols]

There will be a prompt.. about 10 minutes before the draft starts, i believe.

[Lathum]

need one more team

[TazFTW]

Is it no longer a live draft? The league home now says it is an auto draft.

[Julio Riddols]

i hope its not an auto draft, i hadnt prepared a draft board because i knew i would be here for the draft..

[Wasabiak]

i hope its not an auto draft, i hadnt prepared a draft board because i knew i would be here for the draft..

ditto

[Julio Riddols]

Lathum, any news?

[saldana]

why cant i find the draft link?

[fjvieane]

I agree it wasn't suppose to be and that's why I joined, lol

[Julio Riddols]

its been rescheduled, live draft at 9:30 tonight

[BigMak]

It's at 9:30 now? Thats tough with work in the morning.

[fjvieane]

looks like drft time was changed, DOH

[Lathum]

I believe the draft changed to auto because there were only 17 teams and it does that if there is an odd number of teams. We now have 18 team but arew rescheduled to start at 9:30 EST. I hope this doesn't mess anything up but it was unforseen and I am on vacation and couldn't do much about it.

[Julio Riddols]

i'll hopefully be here for most of it now which is better than an auto draft.

Thanks for changing it for us Lathum- (Wipes forehead)

[saldana]

i agree auto draft sucks...9:30 was the earliest available slot, otherwise, we would have to pick a different day entirely.

[Fouts]

So, how do I get to the draft chat room?

[saldana]

So, how do I get to the draft chat room?
it will be part of the popup when the draft room comes online around 9 eastern

[saldana]

dola, just go to the league home page, and there will be a link to go to your leauges live draft

[Schmidty]

One other question: How long do these things generally take? Is it all done in one draft session, or does it go on for a few days?

[Lathum]

sorry again guys and lets give Saldana the assist. I am on vacation with access to dial up only so he made the changes for me. I hope everyone can still be there since I am hoping for an active league.

[Lathum]

the draft shouls only take about 1.5 hours for those of you who have time constraints

[saldana]

One other question: How long do these things generally take? Is it all done in one draft session, or does it go on for a few days?

all depends on a few things...1. how long does lathum have the timer per pick set for and 2. how many people dont show up, thus using up the whole time for their first 2 picks until the computer puts them on auto.

hopefully if the timer is short, we can be done in an hour, hour and a half...i have done 16 team drafts on my beer board leagues in less than 40 minutes.

[Fouts]

dola, just go to the league home page, and there will be a link to go to your leauges live draft

I am searching the page, but can't find it. Is the link to the live draft only available 10 minutes before the draft?

[Wasabiak]

NP, i'll be there. Shoot, it'll be the most excitement i've had in over 2 months.

[fjvieane]

should be up about 30 mins before draft Fouts, in my experience.

[kingnebwsu]

League is full. Good luck you guys :)

[saldana]

I am searching the page, but can't find it. Is the link to the live draft only available 10 minutes before the draft?


sorry, i should have been more clear...the link to the draft will probably only show up around 9 once the draft order is set up

also, if you have never done a yahoo draft before, there is a link on the home page to "test your system"....make sure and run that...if you dont have the right java plugins, the draft window doesnt work right.

[saldana]

League is full. Good luck you guys :)


sorry, lathum cut it down to 18 teams when we reset the draft time, otherwise we would have gotten bumped to autopick again if we didnt have 2 more teams.

[Fouts]

Room is open. You have to download the java applet, if you don't have it installed. I got slapped with the 18th pick of 18 teams.

[gottimd]

If I join in the live draft now, can I exit out and have the bot still pick for me? I don't want to screw anything up and I just got back and its getting late over here to stay up til midnight drafting.

Plus the wife won't like that one bit.

[Fouts]

3 minutes till draft and you pick #1.

[Fouts]

To answer your question, I think you can pick as many as you want, then leave. Otherwise we'd be waiting forever for you to return.

[saldana]

an hour and a half for an 18 team league is outstanding....good luck everyone..

t-minus 17 weeks to my coronation as champion !! :)

[Wasabiak]

Did anyone pick LT? I heard he was still there in the 11th rd.

[gottimd]

Did anyone pick LT? I heard he was still there in the 11th rd.

I dont think he was, is he still available? Damn waiver priority!:D

[JeeberD]

Sorry I couldn't make the draft last night...no, literally. After looking at my QBs I want to vomit.

[Captain2711]

Sorry I couldn't make the draft last night...no, literally. After looking at my QBs I want to vomit.

I am sorry as well. Couldn't get the right components going on my work computer to see the draft. Priest Holmes as my backup? What depth I must have. The championship is mine.
