Very simple, build your best $80M team through a live draft on Diamond Dope. Now that we're all experts on this year's cards (and have JPav's Secret Formula in everyone's hands), let's put all of our learning to practice.

Divisions will be 1,4,7,10 and we'll have someone run a random number generator for us for draft order (I like the immediacy).

Trades/drops are allowed, no restrictions on players, we'll be using the Unleashed set. 26 rounds in the draft (25 players + unique stadium). If you want more than 25 players, add them once the league loads. You may play with a 24 man roster during the season if you choose to do so.

3 hours between picks on the site during the week, no time limit on weekends/holidays. I prefer veterans so that we can keep it moving, plus it's more enjoyable to beat you chumps. :D

Prepare to be schooled.

I've learned the best strategy is to abandon the (un)successful one I keep repeating...

DH or No?

DH, advanced, weighted drop penalties.

I haven't done any 2009 Live Draft but am interested.

I've got three finals and two 2009 Rings, have played with keyzick and while I haven't done a DD draft, I know how it works. I've run a few theme leagues here and know the score and am quick to respond.

A few questions:

1. Do we draft for ballpark, or pick whichever one we want?

2. The three-hour time limit: Is that inclusive of Midnight to 9 a.m. EST or something?

3. Proxies are impossible in DD, I assume.

4. weighted drops = 5/10/15?

I'm in if you'll have me.
