2012 Draft Day

[wolfe]

So I think I'll go ahead and set the draft date for 2pm on the 18th. Then everyone can figure out if they are going to remote or auto draft. For the people that are available, we'll figure out if and where we can meet together.

Depends on the location. I work on saturdays.

Is 2pm too early, Anthony?

[Oompa Midgets]

Depends on where we're having it. I'm typically off work around 1 pm on saturday. I can do it on my phone if we're going remote.

midget has almost 25% of the first 40 picks, he will be done drafting in an hour

Draft day is scheduled for Saturday, August 18 @ 2pm CT

Only three of us have indicated that we can make it in person. http://www.mtffl.com/draft-scheduler.php Clement (Rolling Thunder) has told me that he will do the auto-draft. Since only a few people are available, that means we will be having the first 100% remote draft.

Since we won't be in the same room together,
I'm going to be strict about time limits for picks.
Especially in the first few rounds. If you aren't logged in to the Live Draft Room (http://www16.myfantasyleague.com/2012/ajax_ld?L=26298) when the draft starts I will put you on Auto draft.


If there is a threat of losing your internet connection (which is everyone, really) I encourage you to set up your Draft List (For Owners->My Draft List http://football16.myfantasyleague.com/2 ... 6298&O=129). And it is important to set up your Draft Preferences to select which positions you want to draft in each round (My Draft Preferences http://football16.myfantasyleague.com/2 ... 6298&O=151)

The draft list is ordered by average draft position (ADP) and then alphabetical. Since we use individual defensive players, it is likely that auto-draft may select multiple kickers before selecting defensive players. Or it might select the first alphabetical player. There are 1918 players listed in MyFantasyLeague database. Only 385 available players are ranked by ADP. Less that 1/3 of those players are defensive players so chances are auto-draft will not draft a defensive player if you don't set it up correctly.

My phone number is on the MyFantasyLeague site (http://football16.myfantasyleague.com/2 ... =0001&O=01 - you can only see it if you are logged in). Call me if you have any Internet problems. Otherwise, I will put you on auto-draft if you are not present online.

I likely won't be logged into the live draft room the entire time because I'm using my phone. currently don't have internet access at my home. I will however make my picks on time because I get the draft notifications via email so I know when it's my turn.

[wolfe]

OK, as long as you know this method works. Never tried it that way before.

[Oompa Midgets]

Yes, I've already done so in my dynasty league, and have two other leagues going on right now in which I'm part of a coaching staff.
