Quote from Jimbo123 on 5/17:

"I do have one request, however, and that's to set the start time a little later if the draft is held on Friday night. I live on the west coast and it's difficult for me to get off of work early. I took two hours of vacation time last weekend when we experienced "the glitch" and I'd hate to take off more vacation time, and that's assuming that I can. I suggest we move the start time back or move the draft to a Saturday or Sunday."


I am the originator of the McCourt Must Go draft, sorry didn't see these posts until this morning (5/19). I have no problem moving the draft time back 1-3 hours tomorrow, however, since it's so close I think all league members should agree to the change. I have sent a message to Jimbo asking if he still wants a change.

If he does I will message all league members, if all agree will change the time- I'll go with 9 pm EST 5/20 unless there's a consenus for something else. I have until one hour before the draft to change the time. If you are in the McCourt league and want to go ahead and message me now with your decision feel free to do so.

I'm OK with time.

Black Jack,

That you for considering my request to move the draft time back to 9:00 p.m. EST. I am still making the request. If it doesn't happen, I can probably slip out the back early, but I hate wasting vacation time when I'm not really going anywhere.

Thanks to all league members for taking my request under consideration.

Jimbo

Ok, I will message everyone and confirm either old or new time by 5 pm EST tomorrow. For now, until I have agreements from everyone time will remain 7 pm EST 5/20.

I can go 8 pm-- after that I run into work woes

I like 8 so I can go out to dinner, but I'll survive.

Ok, new time will be 8 EST if others who have not checked in yet agree.

I see the start time is still listed as 7:00 pm

Six of the league members have not responded to msgs or this thread, so draft time will probably remain 7 EST. I'm guessing some of them don't check their som inbox or the chat threads so if we move the time back they would be in for a surprise when they log in tonight.

I was hoping everyone would have contacted me by now so I could give a definite time but that didn't happen. So for now draft time will remain 7, in the unlikely event that changes will post here and msg everyone.
Thanks for the flexibility.

edit: It would be nice if pre-draft announcements/chat could be made on the league home site, since some people don't use the som pm and chat threads.

Still have not heard anything from half the league members so draft time will remain the original [b:fbed264095]7 pm EST tonight. Talk to you all in a couple of hours.[/b:fbed264095]
