Round 7, League 5 - Sign-up time (LIVE DRAFT)

[uncle ny]

Buzzman's up. Let's see if we can get through two rounds today and have reason to celebrate tonight!

Uncle ny, that kind of optimism will only leave you disappointed! :P

You are correct, and I am disappointed. Drafting like this is no fun and I would have hoped that with all the delay people would by this point do the draft as it's designed to be done. But that's not the case and it doesn't seem like there's any alternative. So I'll wait, impatiently, again for Alou and those who follow him to come to the party.

I'm with Edge. This is my last tour event until there is a significant format change. I love the level of competition, but the hassle factor has grown to the point that I can't enjoy the game.

We need to replace Mr. Alou now! I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the second round, but to not put in atleast 10 or so proxies to get back to your next pick is just rude to the rest of us.

He clearly isn't someone that can monitor the draft every 1/2 hour, so either proxies need to be used or otherwise we will have another 15 rounds of this. I have participated in live drafts for to long now to get upset, I just quit checking in knowing that with a few proxies in the system, it is a waste to check in more than once or twice a day.

I will stick around but I do think Mr. Alou has been given his chance and if we want a replacement we need to do it now before we start skipping draft picks.

By the way the other real downside to the draft web site is if someone religiously uses proxies because they don't have computer access during the day a proxy will not automatically fire to skip someone who's time has expired.

I have seen it sit at the same place in the draft all day and people get upset at the next person for not skipping when in fact, that individual could have 20+ proxies loaded because they couldn't monitor the draft frequently.

So one person like this exponentially slows down the draft,

once again I am available to replace.

Bbrool, I'm guessing that's the case with Buzzman and that he will be horrified to find he's held things up, judging from his earlier posts. And I'm guessing that's what happened to Teepack earlier.

[uncle ny]

We're back on Alou. No surprise that there wasn't a proxy in place. :shock:
:o :? :x :roll: :P

Teepack,

You're up.
