Event 5, League 9 - AL or NL only (you decide)

[CHARLESBELL]

I've picked.

[kaviksdad]

Charlie - you're up again.

The clock has been turned on to 2 hours per pick, and should update once Charlie makes his pick.

[CHARLESBELL]

Done. We're on the clock.

[kaviksdad]

No stopping us now - just make sure only National League players (that's National League players as determined by the team shown on their SOM card) are selected.

NHS is without access this week so I'm hoping he was able to set proxies. I have a cellphone for him but he may still not have access until Saturday...

[kaviksdad]

Kanga needs to pick - apparently he didn't set any proxies either.

Guys, you need to set proxies! The only thing that stops the draft cold is if two managers in a row fail to set proxies. Then we're stuck for at least 4 hours.

If anyone needs instructions on how to set up proxies let me know.

Hi all. I set up proxies, but for some reason they didn't work.

Had a look at them and couldn't see why they didn't work.

Anyway made my picks now, sorry for the delay. :?

Does anybody know NHSTEVEN? His team is really going to suffer if he does not get on the draft site or set up his proxies. In a NL league only, it could have an impact, so I hope someone knows him and can get him up and drafting!

[kaviksdad]

I believe there will be time and proxy problems with NHSteven throughout the draft - he wanted out of this league prior to the draft, and Cummings was supposed to replace him. For reasons unknown none of that happened.

So - 1) NH really doesn't want to be here; 2) has extremely limited internet access (according to a post in another league we are in together), and 3) probably doesn't much care one way or the other. I would expect that we will end up waiting 2 hours every time his turn to pick comes up. Unless we can replace him, which we should have done at the start, we should expect these delays.

[CHARLESBELL]

I will ask cummings2 if he would consider replacing NH at this stage of the draft. Assuming we get word from NH that this is ok.

If possible for names to be changed on the draft site we could do that, or failing that, restart the draft and repeat the picks already made to this point. We should consider giving cummings2 an early pick (after he has caught up) to help even things since there is at least one missed pick already.

Thoughts?

PS - I just sent a PM to Chuck.
