Be Patient League -- Draft Forum

[CHARLESBELL]

I tried that using several different stadiums and all I get is an error msg saying invalid ID. I have all available stadiums listed and use the 2007AAA ID format shown.

I don't have any problem setting proxies for players, but I can't get any stadium to work.

I'm obviously doing something wrong but not sure what it is. The work around is I'll just make the pick manually when I get to the round where I want to pick a stadium.

charliewb,

There's a bug at somdraft.com

Stadium proxies won't work if there are lowercase letters in the ID

An AT&T Park proxy would work because its ID is 2007ATT
An Ameriquest Field proxy would fail because its ID is 2007Ame (not 2007AME).

Three decent options:

(1) Stop the draft at 18 rounds, load the league by Wednesday 10pm for Friday PM waivers (which would suck terribly for me).

(2) Stop the draft at 20 rounds, load the league by Friday 10pm for Sunday PM waivers.

(3) Stop the draft at 20 rounds, load the league by Thursday 10pm for Friday AM Frenzy (based on 5 roster spots... that shouldn't be too terrible).

Please choose.

Ian, with all due respect....if we live draft 18 or 20 rounds who the hell needs a frenzy ?

(except Brad :wink: )

Stop as soon as possible and load this thing

My vote

(3) Stop the draft at 20 rounds, load the league by Thursday 10pm for Friday AM Frenzy (based on 5 roster spots... that shouldn't be too terrible).

Thanks, that explains it.

I'm ok with either choice #1 (slight preference) or #2.

Due to slow progress today and the Lowercase Letter issue preventing the picking of stadiums by proxy... it'll be too difficult to get in more than 18 rounds AND start the league by Monday.

Once we're halfway thru round 18, we can try to crystallize plans for the 3 remaining preseason actions:

(2) Waivers or Frenzy
(3) Deadline to load the league (based on when we want the waivers or frenzy)
(4) Actually forming and loading the league on the SOMO site.

On the options:
I do not have any preference other than ending the draft sooner rather than later... , so Ian,I will give my proxy vote to you ...
