Event 5, League 2 - AL Only live draft

[gstanis]

If I had to drop my last pick and I have the first pick in the last round shouldn't I get the choice?

.. Ballpark Requirement

Managers will be required to play in a different ballpark for each Event of the Tournament Schedule, including the Champions League. You may not pick the same park twice. If you do pick a park that you have used before, you will be fined 25 points off your total. In addition, all live draft leagues will require unique ballparks (i.e. [b]two managers in the same league can’t use the same ballpark).

I think we should have plenty of time to get these few issues resolved.

We're probably going to have to be very patient with [b:d60fffd919]Mamiller[/b:d60fffd919] anyway, as it apppears that the huuricane was as bad as forcast. Hopefully he'll get back in touch before the end of the week so that we can start play on Monday.

When [b:d60fffd919]Mamiller[/b:d60fffd919] does get back in touch he needs to pull his team out of the league so that [b:d60fffd919]Edgecity[/b:d60fffd919] can fill the Central. I would urge the other managers in the West not to enter their teams until this transpires. Even then, however, when[b:d60fffd919] Mamiller[/b:d60fffd919] does re-enter his team, HAL might just put him back in the Central. If this does occur, we can try petitioning Bernie and the boys at TSN to switch him to the West.

As far as [b:d60fffd919]TGMFP's[/b:d60fffd919] and [b:d60fffd919]Gstanis's[/b:d60fffd919] stadium selection, I'd tend to agree that [b:d60fffd919]Gstanis[/b:d60fffd919] would have the 1st choice (Safeco) as he was up before [b:d60fffd919]TGMFP[/b:d60fffd919] in the 16th round. So [b:d60fffd919]TGMFP[/b:d60fffd919] will need to "drop" Safeco if he has selected it on the site. However, [b:d60fffd919]Gstanis[/b:d60fffd919], I think it important that you not "drop" Delmon Young in lieu of Baker. #1... that was the order of your picks, and #2... there's a higher likelyhood that Young would have been selected by someone else had he been available for the last 3 rounds of the draft.

I agree

[Delbird]

I'll second the agreement on what Coffeeholic wrote and hope that Mamiller came thru the storm okay. I'm set to load when we get past this last minor issue.

[doktorhendor]

i agree

[edgecitytx]

I'm back. When MaMiller pulls his team out, I'll enter.

[gstanis]

I dropped baker

A fallback option depending on how long we delay would be a modified version of what Coffeholic offered before - the West teams become the Central teams and visa versa. MaMiller is already in the Central so he was set to go, the other original Central teams would have to back out, then the original West teams would have to load into the Central, then the West could load with the teams that previously made up the Central. That would get us loaded and into the waiver/preseason. The division mates would remain the same, just the division name you'd be associated with would change, which doesn't affect anything. Again, just a fallback option depending on how soon we want to get to the preseason. I am also away this weekend so I don't know what access I will have. It would be nice to get thru waivers by the end of the week, so we have a preseaon to make adjustments.

I will be on vacation starting Friday the 19th. I will be out of internet contact most of the day Friday but should have limited contact over this weekend. Hopefully we can have most of our issues behind us. I am already to go in the East. If this was a normal league I would think there would be no porblem but with it being an AL only it could get a little hairy over the weekend. Lets hope it all works out and more importantly I hope all is well with MAMILLER and Houston.
