who sets up the draft and does everyone have an ID?

I don't have an ID - and I still have the questions from my message earlier:

[quote:64d04f7f9b]I've never done a live draft option before but I've been reading the information/tips thread as well as the other live draft threads to pick up on some things. I do have a few basic questions -

1. Does my id and password get set up by whoever sets up the draft on the SOM Draft Site? Or do I need to somehow get that set up?
2. I've seen notes that it will be a 16 round draft, 15 players and 1 stadium (so the stadium is unique) - when do we pick the stadium? Is that something that is our choice, anywhere between 1-16, or is round 16 'reserved' for this purpose? If I'm trying to draft to fit my team to a stadium I'm just wondering when I'll be clear on what stadium I can get.
3. I've also seen a reference to a clock after the first round and before 10PM once this starts - what happens if the clock 'expires' and no pick is taken? Does it get skipped so the next person can pick? If so, does the skipped person just pick for that spot as soon as they are available, regardless of who is currently on the clock?

Thanks in advance for any feedback on these basic questions.

I don't have an ID for the draft website as well.

1. Does my id and password get set up by whoever sets up the draft on the SOM Draft Site? Or do I need to somehow get that set up?

[i:638d5da1fe]It can be set up by the person who sets up the draft, your username will probably be your screenname here and the password will be test. It will be up to you to change your password after that [/i:638d5da1fe]

2. I've seen notes that it will be a 16 round draft, 15 players and 1 stadium (so the stadium is unique) - when do we pick the stadium? Is that something that is our choice, anywhere between 1-16, or is round 16 'reserved' for this purpose?

You can pick a stadium at any point in the draft, although I would recommend picking it around round 12-14 and not waiting until last if you need your stadium badly

[i:638d5da1fe]Yes if the clock expires you will be skipped. Once you log onto the site you can make your pick at anytime

Thanks for the replies to my questions - I appreciate it. It should be interesting to participate in a live draft scenario.

No problem, Delbird!

In other news it won't let me set up the draft for some reason, anyone else want to volunteer?

I tried to create it too, but couldn't. I've never set one up before, so I guess we need Tee's advice unless someone else here knows what they're doing.

Thanks Turtle for answering some of my questions. Sorry guys, I can't help on setting up the draft - a rookie. I will stay posted for updates on the correct procedure. coachteel

I also have never set up a draft but I certainly can answer questions about the draft site having used a few :shock: times. We will need either Tee or Major Deegan to set up the draft ( I think).

FYI, if this gets set up later today, I am traveling until a bit after midnight tonight, so I would be able to review for my pick after that. I don't believe there is a clock for the first round based on what I've read. I'll check back.
