Back for more, and I believe the first season draft took something like a week, until it all got rushed through in one long day to finish it.

Yes. The first round took a week, we realized it was absurd, and me and one other dude sat in the ESPN chat literally all day for about 12 hours with people signing in sporadically to make picks. If we ever want to do offline draft again, we'll have to start in June. It also sucked. :v:

Y'all were lucky I was in grad school at the time and was able ot literally just sit at home doing nothing.

Speak for yourself, plebeian! The League Champion Naptown Sleepers are definitely back this year.

Also, what's this about changing the division names?

I had forgotton the Bart Starr division won last year. The joke was a remnant from last year's OP when the Bart Starr division was the laughing stock.

I have removed the joke from the OP, as you have given the Starr glory.

Only division to not win? Joe Namath. :smith:

If they were anything like the real Namath they would win one time and still be the laughing stock of the league.

I've given way more than 72 hours for the wait-listers to return. The old wait list is now purged.

EDIT:
I realize this is the first year I didn't PM the old wait listers, I am sorry if you're upset by that. On the other hand, we start this up round the first week in July every year so.

der juicen who has waited something like 4 seasons to be in on this, has been sent a PM asking for his email addy. He will replace the Chikins.

Again, if anyone knows a way to contact Juiced, please do. Whatever off-site that has the SEC thread is sure to have him.

If my WDDP account still was active, I'd check there as the SEC thread was moved there after it was banished from SA because we were triggering people or something.

I'm almost positive he played in a XBL league on here too.

I mean, keep in mind the draft typically takes about 3 hours. I'd be willing to change it if we got a solid majority wanting it moved though.

Hopefully I will have a job by then and I will care about the draft running past midnight. But maybe other opinions should chime in.

It really takes 3 hours? I swear I don't remember it lasting more than an hour and a half if that. When you get to the #78 vs the #79 RB, there's not a lot of room for deliberation.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Probably varies greatly on how many people show up since you dumbos take the entire clock for the full draft.

Actually last year seemed to go faster than I expected.

Didn't we make a rule that anyone who misses the draft has to forfeit their spot next year unless they notified the thread prior that they will indeed miss the draft? There's too many people who want to play in this league to have idiots who miss the loving draft and then cry about their picks all year long.

I think I'd be against this because I would have been kicked out of the season where I flipped like all my autodraft guys and Cam Newton valiantly saved my season

Do not try and score on the powerplay. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

What truth?

There is no powerplay.
I'm against it too because getting 20 people to find one time slot on one day with of varying timezones/work shifts is exactly what lead us to drafting on the board instead of shrugging cause someone is bound to miss it for some reason. #TeamShrug

I understand it's ~fantasy~, but I think the complete no call no shows should get booted. At least give a heads up to the thread, or a minimal attempt to set up pre draft rankings and strategy.

Doesn't really matter. But if anyone from Dan Marino embarrasses us and misses the draft I will hunt you down.

Booting them out seems extreme. Is there a way for the league manager to force autopick if they are not there? The 2 min clock erves no point, it is not like the computer thinks about it.

Yes, if you know someone is not going to make it, you can force them to autopick right from the bat.

Then when the draft starts, switch everyone not there to this. When/if they come in, they can turn it off. If someone bitches because they were 'only a few mins late!!', too bad, don't be late and set a pick order if you are going to be.

I can already tell you I am more than likely to miss however many rounds happen between 8:30 and 9:15 because I work until 9 most Sundays. It's a new job that I actually like, so I can't really request a night off for a fantasy draft just yet.

My pre-rankings will be pretty thorough.
