Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 10:34 pmIt was really bad for the first 4 key rounds, couldn't select your players, taking guys who you didn;t want, etc.
My first live draft experience, and I was horrible.....!! : (
Just bought a five pack too now I am not sure why I did.......

Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 10:46 pmPretty much a complete mess on the live draft tonight Bernie. What happened?
Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:32 pmSorry, I'm not sure what happened. If you're saying that it was bad for the first few rounds, and then it got better, then that would suggest to me that the draft was competing for resources with the 10pm ET roster deadline processing. That's weird, because we haven't had any problems like this for a live draft in a long while, and I'm assuming there have been plenty of drafts that have started at 10.
In any case, this doesn't help with tonight, but for what it's worth, I've begun planning out how I'm going to rewrite the live draft so that it will be more reliable.
Please discuss over your league mail whether the league is salvageable, or you want to ultimately start over. On Monday, I'll check in with you and do what I can to do right by you.

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:51 amWhat happened is the site was down for about twenty minutes during which time the live draft went haywire. It took me until 10:04 to get on the live draft site (I was already on the main site from prior to the outage, so all I had to do was click on launch the draft --about 50 times). When I finally got on, the clock was off -- mostly -- and any picks in the watch list would disappear.
There is a clear consensus that we need compensation in the form of a free credit for the twenty minutes of intense distress experienced by all the managers and the fact that many could not make the picks they tried to, especially in the critical first round. We also want to play the current league given the hour and fifteen minutes we all invested in the draft.

Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:50 amI agree with Petro completely. The first four rounds were a true nightmare and we should be compensated for that.
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2011 2:12 pmAgree.
I lost count of the number of times my watch list got erased over the first bunch of rounds.
It did mostly settle down after the first few rounds for me, but think we all missed on things.
