Players in this league are there by request due to vacation or other resource conflicts. Live drafting will not start until at least Monday 8/8.

REQUESTED

As usual, you must select a STADIUM as one of your 16 picks, but can select it in any round. Once a stadium is gone - no one else can pick it. In other words, you must LIVE DRAFT a stadium.

Remember to consider the stadium groupings.

This will be 100 Mil, NO DH, 5/10/20% drop.

Please be mindful of the other players and post here if you plan on being out of touch and away from the draft for a period of time.

One more thing, I do feel compelled to discuss the differences in this live draft and TSN live drafts. This is NOT an unlimited salary cap draft or league. The live draft application will not let you spend more money than you have, so it will always hold out a reserve for your bench players. So 10 bench players at .50 each - and you can never spend more than 95 mil in the draft. If it wont let you select or draft a player or proxy them, this is probably why. - So dont spend money WILDLY on getting the most expensive players, like you might on the TSN live draft app. This live draft app is DIFFERENT so please keep an eye on your spending.

Did I leave out anything ?

This draft will start on MONDAY 8/8 and will HOPEFULLY finish in time to have first pitch on 8/15. This would require completing a draft in 5 days.

Focus men - focus. :lol:

The biggest problem with these live drafts is people not being aware that the draft is starting and delaying those that are.

At this moment, I have 14 people left to live draft for Event #4

Most of those who are in league 9 have specifically requested to draft in the second week due to vacation conflicts, which means no sooner than Monday. A few that REQUESTED to draft in that league are also moved over there.

What I will do is to e-mail everyone concerned - all 14 people - and the first 12 that say they are ready to live draft right now - they will start drafting right now. The other two will go into another league and we will recruit for fillers to round out that league. If we dont get enough to live draft - then that league will be an autodraft league or even possible an OPEN (no passworded) league.

Sorry it has to be this way but this has been a tough live draft and I just need to get them all going.

This league will rename to Event #4 - League #8

There will not be a need for a league #9

I had 14 people left to play in event #4 - One has dropped from the tour and the other will pass this event. Therefore, this event is locked up in membership.

Gentlemen,

I have created the draft on Diamond Dope with the above draft order.

OFFICIAL start time is tomorrow, but no one will be upset if you get in and get started drafting and setting up proxies.

[b:056de56fa9]Keep in mind this league is $100 Mil.[/b:056de56fa9] Do not overspend thinking this is a TSN live draft league. NO DH - 5/10/20% drop rule.

The clock will as usual be off for Round 1 and switched on for the 3 hour time limit after that. Feel free to skip those whose time has run out by making a MANUAL PICK by the person who is up AFTER an expired clock player.

Let's shoot for finishing up so that we can get loaded by the Friday deadline.

Once again, post on this thread if you are going to be away so that all of your co-players know.

Thanks and good luck.

Ok, I've set up a bunch of proxies, so it better work as I won't have access to the site again until 8 pm EDT Monday.

Best of luck, both in the draft and in the season.
