Adrian Gabriel, a.k.a. agabriel, maintains the Diamond Dope website. If you play ATG a lot, I'm sure you've run across him.

Ah, I've never played ATG so that explains it. I did try to win that free team they were giving away a couple weeks back but I lost. I thought that would be a great way to try it out. Actually I thought Bernie missed an opportunity to bring in someone new to ATG if he had only offered that team to someone that had not played it before - to get them hooked. Seemed like a missed marketing opportunity (small one) - plus it would have increased my chances of winning :) .

I setup a test draft to see if there is anyway to skip a back to back pick by the same owner and the answer is no. i thought maybe changing the draft clock time limit might trigger it but no. All I can think of is try to login as him with the orginal login you gave him if he hasn't changed it......but I wouldn't say what the picks should be, guess it would be up to the commish.

[AeroDave10]

I've got Adrian on the case. Hopefully he should skip this guy and get Delbird and Ducapa going on their picks.

[Delbird]

We have activity - a pick is in....

[AeroDave10]

Ok, we're rolling now. Ducapa, it's back to you.

[AeroDave10]

Of course, no one has yet to select a stadium still ... :roll:

[AeroDave10]

A bit of a morning snag with zim13. Hopefully he'll be in with a pick soon.

I didn't start the clock yet because technically he has until 12:00 PM CT to make a pick, and I think the way the clock currently works, it takes 3 hours from the last pick, and that would give him only until 10:21 AM CT.

[Ducapa]

ah, wondering why clock was on. I thought it just gave you 3 hours from when it goes on. Anyway, can you post your eligible teams left also?

[thisisray]

I should have enough proxies that we don't get hung up on me. If we do end up getting stuck on me(at the pace we are going I don't see that happening) I apologize in advance, but I have finals all day and won't be able to check the draft until late tonight.
