Eisen-verse Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Anyone interested in a Sunday Night draft time? Like 5 or 6 possibly? Most people will have this time free (I would think)? If we go with Saturday then that's cool; I'll just pre-set my draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Saturday night is a good suggestion. It just needs to be not too late for the East coast folks, probably not later than 9pm Eastern. Also remember that many of us are in both the Yahoo and ESPN league, so trying to put them on the same day may be a little much. We do need to get a date/time locked down. The 25th is a week from Saturday. There's also the 1st of September (or really any time Labor Day weekend). The ESPN league is 12 members - I sent out the last invite this evening to a friend from my live-draft league to fill the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershot Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 If we are still deciding I vote Sunday. (yahoo league) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I got a friend to make the # of teams even in the Yahoo league, bringing it to 12. Once he joins, I'm locking things at that. As for time, Sundays are fine for me, but only after 5, usually (because of work). What times zones are we looking at? Is anyone from across the Atlantic in the Yahoo league this year such that a time like 6PM would be a poor choice? Anyway, I propose 6PM on Sept. 2nd (Sunday). If that doesn't work, we can move it around. Edit: Make that 5:45... All other times between 5:45 and 10PM are closed. There's probably too many drafts at that time as it is.

mjdgoldeneye Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I randomized the draft order (Yahoo lets you do it beforehand automatically now), and here are the results: http://i.imgur.com/uUcEg.png If you and another owner want to switch positions (for the entire draft), you are allowed to do that. Just have both owners email me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallbanger Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 ESPN folks, is Saturday all right for you? If so, ESPN could draft 9/1 at about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon_lit_tears Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 ESPN folks, is Saturday all right for you? If so, ESPN could draft 9/1 at about the same time. That's fine with me, but that's the latest I'd like to draft. I could still do the 25th early morning...but later that night is my live draft that I pay for and...lets face it..when there is money involved..I'm there...

mjdgoldeneye Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ok, after messing around for an insanely long time trying to schedule things out, (It's really hard to do the following without an algorithm, surprisingly) I've set up a rivalry thing. The way things are set up, with 12 teams and 13 regular season weeks, every team has to play two teams twice (you don't play yourself, so you have 11 unique opponents). The random schedule is not always ideal, so I went and set it up so you play a particular same-division team twice and another particular non-division team twice. "Rivalry weeks" are: Weeks 1 & 8 - Division Rivals Weeks 4 & 11 - Non-Division Rivals The Week 1 schedule is visible, so you can see your divisional rival now. ESPN folks, is Saturday all right for you? If so, ESPN could draft 9/1 at about the same time. That's good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty flexible the next few weekends. So whatevers best for the group so long as it's not between 10-6PM EST, because if you have free time then, you're doing life wrong.

Wallbanger Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 OK, since I haven't heard objections to either draft date, the schedule is at this point: ESPN League: Saturday, September 1st @ 6:00pm ET / 5:00pm CT / 4:00pm MT / 3:00pm PT Yahoo! League: Sunday, September 2nd @ 5:45pm ET / 4:45pm CT / 3:45pm MT / 2:45pm PT That's 12 days from the date of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallbanger Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 This is slightly off topic, but hilarious. It's been said that fantasy football is D&D for guys that would never actually play D&D. Well, this article outlines rules for an actual fusion of fantasy football and D&D. http://www.sbnation.com/fantasy/2012/8/24/3258090/fantasy-football-nerds (obligatory on-topic statement: Drafts are just over a week away!)

mjdgoldeneye Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm going to have to miss the draft Saturday. I got scheduled to work then. I'll set up my rankings and maybe find someone to draft for me by proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trell Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 so I'm hoping to be around for the draft tonight, if not is there something I can set so it will pick people I want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crychon Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 so I'm hoping to be around for the draft tonight, if not is there something I can set so it will pick people I want? I'm also hoping my computer will hold out for the entire draft (it has been overheating the past few days). As for the other question, I think that there's normally a pre-draft ranking system you can do, but as the draft room seems to have already been created (I thought it only did that 1/2 hour before the draft) I'm not sure if you can anymore. You could jump into the draft room and set a "Draft Order" just in case. That's probably your best bet at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm on and things are looking good. Trell, you can preset orders on the website and in the draft app. It might lock before much longer though... For those that are interested I'll be streaming the draft on my Twitch TV channel: http://www.twitch.tv/wallbanger7110 starting around 20 minutes prior to the show.
