We can just keep an eye on those two and see when they fall out of their prospective races.

We coukd start the draft within a day or two of confirmation that people will fall where they do.

wants. . . .I'm easy. I'm just tickled to be having this conversation about the finals. :)

The ONLY thing I don't want to do is finish last in this thing of 12. . . will someone gladly volunteer for that so that I can rest easy for the Holidays???? :)

Congratulations to everyone.

It would be great if all 12 of us could manage to be free one evening...we would rack up a lot of draft picks at once. I have lots of free time between X-mas and new year eve...

by the way, just to get things straight, I understand that penngray's website is down, is that it? If so, another reason to meet us all at one date....

I won't have a free evening until after New Years.

I'm in the first of three cities i'll be in over the next 10 days now and I have LOTS of family and friends that I am rushing from place to place to see. (I've been living out of the country for several months now, and while I am dedicated to making this work, I'm in despearate need of some family time.)

I'm back to normal life on the evening of the first, and will haev more time to devote after that.

Just my two cents.

im fine with any amount of rounds and however long it takes to make sure our finals is the best 12 managers (i dont want maligned to have to drop out).

i agree with luckyman, the best idea is to all pre-arrange a time and get online and draft for like 2 hours straight and bang out 5 or 6 rounds. the only problem with that is that 1 person not here kills the whole thing.

by the way, are luckyman and me (and possibly kaviksdad) the only returning tour finals participants from last year?

props to you lucky (and possibly kaviksdad)!

I think the idea of devoting an evening or two to knock off the bulk of the draft is a great idea. I'm fine with waiting until after the New Year if that works for everyone else.

Kaviksdad is now officially in. Kangawomby dropped out of contention. If we're doing the draft order and seeding based on Tour finish, we still have to wait at least until next weekend to start anything. If qksilver finishes 9-9, wins his division, and wins a championship; he moves up to 2nd. This will also happen if he finishes 14-4 and has a finals appearance.

It seems that almost everyone is in favor of seeding for the draft order and divisions.
Maybe Quicky and Marcus could work out an agreement for spots 2/3 and we could get rolling? If not, that's cool...we'll wait it out till after the holidays.
