J-Pav:
Thanks so much for your help with this draft. This league already, whether I win, lose, or draw is the BEST ever. I have literally waited weeks for live drafts to be complete. So thanks to all.
Questions:
Is the draft over as mentioned above?
When do we pick our stadium?
When we input our teams into the league, is our #1 live draft pick our number one pick in our ranking order or is our #1 pick someone undrafted and someone we want to fill our needs?
Thanks and congrats to everyone for a job well done so far.
Greg

[b:178203adb6]Edge[/b:178203adb6] is the admin guy, I'm just the impatient live drafter. I've never understood why it takes more than a day or two to do a live draft. If you're not gonna be available for hours at a time, either set a lot of proxies or wait for a better start date that more agrees with your schedule. There's nothing worse than a draft lasting a week or more and sucking the life out of everyone else involved.
Last year I did one live draft which went start to finish AND loaded in 18 hours. The second live draft started with a guy who declared he was leaving on a three day weekend and would not even make his first selection until the fourth day (no clock until everyone completes round one). Needless to say, there are no printable words for a situation like that.
To answer your questions:
1. The draft is 17 players and one stadium long. My comment reflects that after five or six rounds, things are pretty much decided, so set some proxies and don't make 11 people wait while you mull over whether to take Alex Gonzalez or Adam Everett.
2. Pick your stadium at any time during the draft. If you're having problems (as I am) getting the site to accept a stadium, select some useless 5e35 fifty cent player and announce your stadium pick here as [b:178203adb6]Red[/b:178203adb6] suggested (assuming no one else disagrees, if so please speak up). Hopefully [b:178203adb6]Edge[/b:178203adb6] or [b:178203adb6]Tee[/b:178203adb6] can find someone who can correct our stadium glitch.
3. After the somdraft.com draft, fill out your SOM TSN card using the eight undrafted players [b:178203adb6]first[/b:178203adb6], ranked of course how you want them prioritized. The rest of the roster (9 through 25) is your live draft selections (in any order). Someone almost always inadvertently cards a guy on someone else's roster. No biggie, just trade them to the proper team as soon as you can.
GL!

I was able to setup a stadium proxy by typing in 2007___ and did not capitilize the stadium abbreviation.

I couldn't setup a stadium proxy either.
I tried lower case, upper case, first leter caps, etc.
The only one that worked was the first stadium 2007ATT all others give error.

You can pick a stadium, but you can't set it up as a proxy, you have to do it manually. It's a bug and Tee's just becoming aware of it, as he's in league 3 and they're facing the same issue.
