Presumed Gents, I for one cant wait for football and FF to start already.

I'll post in the next few days to coordinate draft time (and send Burt a follow up).

When would draft order be determined? Enquiring minds and all.

I believe its a girth contest traditionally.

We did randomized last year (Yahoo assigns your position 30 minutes before the draft starts). Planning to do the same unless everyone feels strongly otherwise. I guess we could do a RNG earlier if people really wanted to be locked in and spend time mock drafting.

Alright, email and PM sent to Burt!

Let’s talk draft date/time. I’ll start off by saying I’m high maintenance and an asshole. I Have a vacation scheduled Sept 2-10 where I’ll have limited/no internet access. As commissioner I have the power to kill those dates and I’m exercising it! I also have existing conflict on the 1st which limits my availability. I don’t care about waiting until after final cuts to draft (mid day Aug. 30th), but I know some of you do.

I’d float the following options. Please share your availability and we will roll with the one that works for the most teams:

Aug. 26 (Fri) - 8pm CT
Aug. 27 (Sat) - 1pm CT
Aug. 27 (Sat) - 6pm CT
Aug. 28 (Sun) - 1pm CT
Aug. 28 (Sun) - 8pm CT
Aug. 30 (Tues) - 8pm CT
Aug 31 (Wed) - 8pm CT

Edit: Respond to the Doddle poll below

You may need to scroll right on the poll to see the Aug 30/31 dates

Sundays off all day. But later the better any other day.

About half the league has responded. So far it looks like weak alignment of our schedules across the board.

Alright gentlemen (and Burts):

Saturday August 27th at 6pm CT received the most votes. Of those who responded: Burt, Tye, and Iowa are unable to join at that time. I’m going to set that as our official draft time on Yahoo - but happy to discuss here on the forum if there is a way to tweak it (such as shifting forward/back an hour) in order to increase participation.

Edit: pushing back to 7pm CT to accommodate Burt being high maintenance...

One possible alternative & Something I’m usually against, we could start tomorrow and span the draft over the next 2 weeks. I’d give 10 hours to make your picks with the intent that people would be MUCH quicker in the evenings. Would require setting up a group text chain.

To be clear, I vote against this idea as I think it would be an absolute cluster (and lose the excitement of a live draft) - but I’m willing to entertain it if a majority feel otherwise.
