I hope somebody good. :wink:

[Assmeriten]

Wonder if any picks will be made today.

[Assmeriten]

He has an email address listed in his profile so I just sent him an email.

[Assmeriten]

What time does the clock turn on tomorrow? 8 AM EST or 10 AM EST?

[Jeepdriver]

It would be nice in the future if we could have an "expanded" clock on the weekend, maybe something like 6 hours. Rarely do these drafts not come to a complete halt on the weekend.

It's not easy being on deck for over 24 hours. :roll:

I'd love to do a live draft with a 15 minute clock. These live drafts are just frustrating............................................

[Assmeriten]

Still no respose as of 8:50 PM CST. 15 min clock would not work at all. I think there does need to be a clock on weekends because of what has happened here. Though on the other hand Zimharry pick according to the draft site was made at: 8 94 ZIMHARRY Taveras,W cf-2(-3)e3 2006-09-24 21:25:27. So was a pick changed or did something else occur or did the draft site get messed upped somehow?

[Zimharry]

Something funny is going on. My 8th round pick was Frank Thomas. I did not change my pick. Taveras was actually set as 2nd choice for the 8th round in the proxies. I am going to try to take Thomas back. Allright, looks like I could do that. We'll need to keep our eyes open I guess....

I think that the weekend clock thing is a throwback to the days before Penn's draft site when many managers were away from their PC's (guess lots of the "old-timers" played mostly from work). We shouldn't get too worked up about things though, as we all knew going in that the clock was "off" over the weekend.

A little bit of communication may go a long way to easing some of the frustration though. Just a quick post letting everyone know that you'll be away from the draft until such-and-such time is very helpful.

Anyway, maybe next time we could specify ahead of time that our live draft would leave the clock "on" over the weekend instead?

8 AM CST and still no response from Skinsfan.

Welcome ASSMERITEN
Round 8
SKINSFAN has pick #95
until 2006-09-25 12:48:53 EST

So that is 11:48:53 CST and if pick still hasn't been made then he gets skipped, Jeep makes his 2 picks, them Skinsfan would then be back on the clock for 2 hours for round 9. and if misses again then Zimharry would pick. If I understand these live draft rules that is. which I am not totally sure if I do. I do know that all 17 players must be on your draft card but do you have to keep them?
