Frigging cry babies, why does 1 person always have to be a pain in the arse and ruin everything.

Low to high, high to low, does it really frigging matter? We picked lotto states and it was random. The general consensus is usually low to high. It has been since I participated in the very FIRST draft on these boards.

I posted them both because huntthis, the commish by default of starting the league, did not say which. I did not want to set up the draft without consulting to make sure. And Ducapa was just trying to help and get the league going. Bob, maybe you do not like your spot and that is why you want out.

The league filled and 2 hours latter he had the first lotto result. How is that not the norm? If you were not prepared to play in a league that started this soon, then why did you sign up?

Anyway I guess we need a couple replacements now since Bob is bowing out and Ducapa is worried about time constraints.

- just unreal

Turtle .. please give me a little more credit than simply because I do not like my "spot ' in the draft. This league has been disorganized from the start and it seems like a variety of "volunteer" commissioners have been sending mixed messages... I can only see it getting worse not better..

[Ducapa]

Hey we're all just trying to have fun here. The only reason its disorganized is b/c the commish is not around so I was just trying to help out. When/if the commish gets back, he can change the draft I setup if he sees fit but I think I followed all the league protocals as Turtle mentioned....lotto numbers of the night it fills, and low to high. Anyway, I am keeping my hat in...hopefully we can get a replacement tonight or tomorrow and start drafting. Turtle, why don you change the header to "league full, need one replacement"

[MoCrash]

I wasn't trying to create a fuss by disagreeing on standard draft order, and I had no idea what the order -- or specifically the Missouri Pick 3 numbers -- was when I posted. I generally don't care where I draft, particularly in 12-team league -- a winning club can be built from any position in a serpentine draft.

As for a commish, I don't consider it important in a TSN league -- as long as someone can get the draft site arranged with Major Deegan and administer it. Once drafted, the thing will pretty much run on itself.

[The Turtle]

I agree with Mocrash, these drafts run themselves once they start

Dupaca, I'll change the header

We will get a replacement.

At the time the league is set up the draft protocol should be spelled out. The usual protocol is after the league is filled the lotto is run. It should have been clearly stated but the assumption Ducapa made about the Lotto being run for the draft is correct. The slight problem is the draft order and maybe thats why Bob was miffed. Low to high is the USUAL order but not always. about 80% of the drafts I have been in in this game have been low to high-but but not all the drafts.
Are we all agreed that it is low to high? The commish should come on and make a decision (especially since his draft postion doesn't matter either way). Whatever the decision is- can we all agree not to jump ship?

I'm in come hell or high water.
