I had a blast with BigMahan loves the 80's live draft and was wondering if there was any interest in a repeat.

I am game for a live draft. it has been a long time. Maybe those the E/W league would rather live draft seeing as it isn't filling

I've never done a live draft, and would like to join.

Never have done a live draft but I would be interested. Could someone give the skinny on what it entails

I'd do another live one.

The drafts usually take place over a couple of days. Penngray has a draft site where you can load picks, including proxies. After the order is selected, you can either make your pick as your turn comes up (there is a timer) or you can load proxies. The proxy deal is somewhat sophisticated in that you don't simply load the picks you want 1 to 10, but instead you can group players in certain categories. For example, if you have the 2nd pick and you want Brett, you can load Brett with Schmidt as your proxy. In the event you get Brett, the system will move to your next list of players instead of taking Schmidt (hmmm, Brett AND Schmidt.......). Relatively easy once you see it and play with it a little.

I will be in town next week but then out of pocket the week after. If we can't get it done by next week, I'll bail and let someone else jump in.
