Round 3 - Let's go for a dozen leagues!!

[mesquiton]

Can it be that our LC is too busy watching soccer to check the weather... :?: :!: :?:

[Cubit]

Our Live Draft has now resumed; CASmith said he'd be back this afternoon, so let's roll. Anyone who wishes to skip may do so. He'll check in when he does.

Mesquiton is at the plate!

up for 2

Sorry CASm, I missed your message above, so didn't comment earlier. The rain delay was largely in your honor, and McSoupy and others, too. You are free to pick now and get in there with those back picks.

See you all in the morning.

Hey there Sac Yanks. Nice of you to drop by. SOrry it's taken me a few days to get back at'cha. LOTO is starting, Barnstormers is heading into the 3rd Rd. and EV4 drafted already as well. Busy strat-time planning my next disasters...a little down time on the boards.

I'll drop by your Ev3 thread to say hi tomorrow.

Nice of ya to come by...see guys? We are developing a bit of a neighborhood here...it's called Ev3 Suburbia :D

I gotta' be honest. I'm realy not the total A. hole I appear to be, but this inability to grasp the proxy concept is just killing me. Jeeminy H. Christmas.

:D


I've stayed off the boards today, hoping we'd all have wrapped this up by nightfall; well, still some hours of daylight left in the East and the West, well, you all know about the West. Were I still out in Australia, today would already be tomorrow....

:arrow:Everyone seems to have picked their stadium.

:arrow:Everybody has completed their draft except McSoupy in the final draft position at #216 (and the skipped CASmith) at #209!

:arrow: Guys, we're almost there!

Now we need to complete our draft cards and enter. I will create the League and enter my club. Great work.

Cubit,

Do we have to set anything up for the final 8 picks? Or is it like the CD ROM game on auto-draft where it looks at your team, and fills your holes for you?

Thanks. I'm ready to play ball after a few tweaks.

EDIT: Do we set up the league at TSN, and run the auto draft just on the final eight? :?

[quote:7a1d686d39]Division assignments: Managers will enter their teams into the league in the following order. Managers whose first-round draft positions are 1, 4, 7 and 10 will comprise the East Division. Managers whose draft positions are 2, 5, 8 and 11 will comprise the Central Division.[/quote:7a1d686d39]


This means the Divisions are:


[b:7a1d686d39]EASTERN DIVISION[/b:7a1d686d39]
1 McSoupy-- CHICAGO AL US Cellular Field (6-6,18-18 )
4 Cubit-- BALTIMORE Camden Yards (4-7, 8-11)
7 WBonn63-- TORONTO Rogers Centre (11-11,13-13) --Corrected
10 dneedle1-- HOUSTON Minute Maid Field (3-11,3-16)

[b:7a1d686d39]CENTRAL DIVISION[/b:7a1d686d39]
2 KCM0711-- COLORADO Coors Field (19-19,15-15)
5 BleacherCreature-- SAN FRANCISCO SBC Park (7-16,4-7)
8 CASmith528-- NEW YORK NL Shea Stadium (15-10,7-4)
11 Mesquiton-- BOSTON Fenway Park (14-14,4-10) --Corrected

[b:7a1d686d39]WESTERN DIVISION[/b:7a1d686d39]
3 SavGuy73-- PITTSBURGH PNC Park (16-10,10-4)
6 gstanis-- CHICAGO NL Wrigley Field (5-8,10-14)
9 Cummings2 (aka Dnger)-- ST. LOUIS Busch Stadium (5-11,6-6)
12 JJBird8-- OAKLAND McAfee Coliseum (7-4,4-10)

I will complete my draft card and create the League and ask you to enter in the appropriate order and correct divisions, thank you. This should take little time, since we've all just about tapped out, but so far nobody has gone over the max for 17 players; your SOMO Draft will monitor your final picks.

PLEASE, when you complete your Draft Order sheets, list your 17 players in the order you drafted them (as listed on penngray's site). That way nobody will be picking anyone someone else chose first.

THEN make your 8 additional picks to complete your rosters. Be sure they are legal under SOMO rules-- the software will intrusively and obnoxiously tell you if you've screwed up at that stage, but I am always amazed at the kind of errors I can make at this stage, so I hope you will do better than me. [i:7a1d686d39]I strongly suggest you use the Penngray Web site as a final check against the players available list if you have any doubts, though the software and draft order above should prevent any accidental poaching....[/i:7a1d686d39]

BE SURE YOU SELECT THE RIGHT STADIUM, then enter the draft [b:7a1d686d39]by divisions[/b:7a1d686d39] as given above.

Thank you all. We might even get this done tonight.

THE password is: patience

PS BC, I hope the above answers your questions; you were posting while I was composing....

I see McSoupy has now completed his draft. Great work, thanks. Only CASmith has an open spot on the board. This draft is a "nearly-wrap"!
