So that makes it six auction and five snake and whoever is left I hope you vote auction so we don't have to go to a tiebreaker: naked oiled up hog wrestling. Anyone who voted snake because they might be anxious about auction, I was anxious last year but found I really preferred it. It turns the draft from just a passive thing where you wait around to a game in of itself. And you get to laugh at morons like that guy who spent $13 on Duke Johnson last year.

Auction is God 10/11 people can do Tuesday, August 20th and 10/11 can do Tuesday August 27th. Funkybottoms, Deedee Megadoodoo can we tweak the time to accomodate you? I'd be willing to put on a disguise and show up to your work for you.

Quiet Feet posted:Make sure you click the link and mark down your preferences. Yeah, it's past midnight. Calling it for auction (given the only possible results are tie bullshit or, well, for auction) and I guess we need to decide whether to have the draft on August 20th or 27th. If either Funkybottoms or Deedee Megadoodoo can make one of those work that's great. If we can't get a unanimous vote I'm proposing the 27th on the off chance one or more players' heads explode during week 3 preseason games.

i'd already marked the 27th as okay, and looking at my work schedule i think the 20th is also doable

funkybottoms posted:i'd already marked the 27th as okay, and looking at my work schedule i think the 20th is also doable Deedee'd had the opposite problem so if you can make the 20th work that's great. So Tuesday August 20th, 8:00 until whenever we're finished. I'll set it up later today. Anybody who doesn't have auction experience, ESPN (and I'm guessing elsewhere) does have mock auction drafts you can take part in. Recommend you try 1 or 2 to get the gist of it. Cooking breakfast or I'd have a little more to say now. Anyway auctions rule.

I can do the 20th. The 27th is my birthday and I will be brewery hopping around Portland Maine until I black out and vomit in the hotel bathtub.

Excuse me sir but getting incredibly drunk on beer is not the kind of thing we tolerate here in the Something Awful Fantasy Football Goon Beer League!

I, Zam on myself to put together a $50 box of local beer and ship to one of the league winners at the end of the season. Draft format preferred (auction/snake): Auction Date/Time: Anything works for me. Looks like it will be tomorrow, and that works for me. In league news from last year, Quiet Feet generously donated a second box to make up for (1) of the (2) that flaked and never sent beer out. Thank you Quiet Feet!

Quick and dirty version is that their original location got destroyed in a flood and they rebuilt in Stowe a little ways away. We usually take a long weekend up in that area there every year. It's always packed though they do a good job to keep he lines moving. Also you're welcome Zam!

I think it's still ten, but usually 2 owners just dont have the bandwidth or desire to joined. Is that not true in here? Last time I did iso there were 16 teams

Did something different this year and pretty sure I'll have the worst season yet. Based on the draft, I needed at least two more QBs on my roster.
