Anyone up for another Y! league?

[Knightlife_in_Lubbock]

If there's still a spot, I'll join. If there's an odd number of teams by draft day though, I'll drop. Maybe if I join someone else will and there will be 12. If not though, I have no issues with dropping. I'm not here to cause drama.

 

And I'll pre-rank if nothing else. If we wait for a time where everyone can attend a live drafte we'll be into May before anything gets done.

 

By the way you were talking about the draft, I thought you had already signed up. I'm a little leery of the "sign up and hope someone else comes along" option. I really don't want to have an odd number of teams. But what do other people think?

 

I wasn't going to join unless I could make the live draft.

 

If others don't want me in, that's fine. Like I said, I'm not here to cause drama. And I WILL drop if I'm the odd one out come draft day.

 

Let him in. It's an easy "W" for everyone. :lol: :P

I'm not against erik joining, personally. I just want there to be an even number of teams. So when we were trying to schedule the draft and didn't schedule it this weekend b/c it didn't work, I thought he was already in the league. Now that we have 10 teams, if someone comes along before the draft and we'd have 12 - great. But I don't want an odd number (and he's already said he won't join if it makes an odd number).

 

As for the draft - let's just schedule it already. If it starts before 4pm EST, I can do it any day this week or next weekend except Wed (3/28) - it'd have to start in the early afternoon that day. If everyone else wants to do it later than that on any day, I'll just autopick if I have to. But let's just do it already so we can have the league running before the season starts (ie - have players off waivers before Monday so you can correct any drafting miscues before the first week).

So are we going to just schedule a time or draft via the board??? I'll make whatever work into my schedule or just pre-rank.

[ctcf]

I think I'm gonna do a board draft. I was thinking this weekend would work. If we can't figure out a time I'm afraid I'm leaning towards an autopick draft.

 

So howabout everyone tries to be here Sunday night late like 6-7 pm EST?

 

Yes/no?

I'll be in Cincinnati that night (to see the Cubs play the next day), so a board draft would be unpossible for me.

 

I could live with an autopick if we all have time to prerank.

I don't think we need to do an autopick. Just pick a time (I'm still leaning toward an afternoon, esp Sat or Sunday) for a live draft. Anyone who can't make it can pre-rank and their team will be auto-picked. That's how live drafts usually work.

That would also be fine with me. I'd have to prerank if we wait until the weekend, but as long as no one minds me playing matchups off the waiver wire everyday, that's fine with me.

Why would you have to play matchups if we auto-pick?

If we all autopick, I wouldn't.

 

If most of us live draft and I autopick, I'm inevitably going to end up with a subpar player at one or two positions.

I see what you mean.

We could just start the draft via this board, and I bet we could get through the thing in the next week. Otherwise, let's confirm the live draft (w/ autopick option) for next Sunday at 5 Chicago time.

Um...let's confirm the draft for Sunday at 2, Chicago time.

[cheapseats]

If you guys don't take the full 90 seconds between each pick, I might even be able to do some live drafting at 2 on Sunday.

 

I did a draft in a public league yesterday and one or two guys - who were there, mind you - went down to the wire with every single pick. Even in the first round.

[ctcf]

It is now Sunday, April 1st at 2 pm CST.

 

Any problems?

[JonnyRed]

I'd prefer later in the day on Sunday. If we draft at 2 CDT, you're going to find a number of people in the middle of family activities, etc.

Actually later in the day guarantees that I'll be in the middle of family activities.

Ok well at this point there aren't many options left. If you all don't mind, I'd like for as many of you guys to vote or something for either the draft at that time Sunday or doing it over the board starting this week. Majority rules.

sorry, missed CT's earlier post.

 

I vote for Sunday at 2pm.

I really don't care, so I'll go with the majority.

My concerns with doing it through the board - how do we determine draft order, and can we really get it done in a few days?

[JonnyRed]

2 pm CST sounds like the consensus, so I'll make it work. Looking forward to a great year with fellow Cubs fans.

[jyoung55]

2 PM Central works for me for the live draft.

[mfische5]

2 pm works for me

[ctcf]

Sweet! 2pm CST it is!
