I guess I will go along j-pav and presume a non dh.

NO DH is correct

....which I had known that before hand but then looking back not sure I'd have picked differently.

Think this is the first time I acutually picked 2 top SP's - in the first 2 rounds - in a LIVE draft EVER ! :shock: :shock: :shock:

When is the clock shut off for the night?

And when does it restart in the morning?

How long is the clock for? BIG ALRIC has been up since 640 and the clock says till 1240.

[quote:bf4a8640c6]4) A manager will have 2 hours in which to make a player selection. Managers who draft in either the No. 1 or No. 12 position will have two hours in which to make both of their picks when they have back-to-back selections - not two hours per pick. If a manager does not make a draft selection within that time period, the manager with the next draft position may select a player. The manager who was bypassed may make a selection anytime afterward. The clock is OFF in all first rounds to ensure everyone is present. [/quote:bf4a8640c6]

There isn't anything in the rules that I can find about start and end times.

In my experience, live drafts usually start at 8:00AM Eastern and run through 9:00 PM Eastern time, but picks can continue off the clock.

In actuality however, the time alloted for making your pick is the time Penngray sets up on his draft site.

I'm not sure if the league commish has the ability to make changes to the draft.

Guy, I apologize again for not being the best league LC I should have been early on - just that time of year - but I'm back in full stride ! :D

Though we have the TOUR Commish in this league who I will gladly defer to, I'd like to make the following statments:

1 - The tour clock has in my experience always coincided w/ penngray's software - 10:00 AM EST thru MID NIGHT EST. I don't anticipate that changing and thus, that's what we will use.

2 - The clock will run thru the weekend unless we vote to suspend it. Peraonally, I'd like to suspend it but I need to see a show of hands and let majority rule.

3 - Though we skipped BigAlric leagally and rightly so......I don't feel comfortable on a competitive level skipping him a 2nd time if it comes to that in an hour or so. I sent Woods such an e-mail. However, I have no right to tell him NOT to skip BigA it is IMHO in the best interest of the league considering the early stage of this type of draft.......Woods is free to do what's stated in the rules - just my 2 cents.

Any problems, please e-mail me DAYS - anthony@pacosport.com or HOME/NIGHT/WEEKENDS - apisano22@verizon.net

Let the clock run through the weekend and keep this thing moving as best we can, is my vote.

by **kaviksdad** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 12:56 pm

My weekends are pretty full, and I don't mind suspending the clock on weekends.

As for skipping BigAlric again, it's the league commish's call - that's why he gets the big bucks :lol:
