80's live draft signup.

Penn, I might. Let me take a look at who is left. I like the corner, but will move for a player or two.

I thought it was a 2HR clock?

[DOUGGRAY]

first round is always no clock (24 hour in this case) to make sure everyone is around. I will set the clock when we are going.

I'm new to the live draft idea. How do you move your picks into HAL? Be gentle if this is a really stupid question.

[Jablowmi]

Gmac, after the 16 round draft, we'll fill out draft cards. You must place your 15 players onto the card (I'm going to put mine 11-25, but you can do whatever you want!!!) and you must select you're stadium. Then, the autodraft will run as usual, although you'll obviously get at least 15 of your picks.

Another thing you should pay attention to is the cap - you can't select 15 players that will prevent you from having a legal team at autodraft time (i.e., $80M, more than 10 pitchers). I suppose you could swing a trade, but it is something to keep in mind.

If TSN would have agreed to my very simple terms 3 years ago it would have been automatic ;)

In the find player box you type the last name of the player you are looking for. If you want to pick this player just click on PICK.

To create a proxy click on the "create a proxy" tab. Type in a player name as above to get a 5 digit numeric code for this player name. You then type this number code into the PlayerID box. I ignore the "Round" box. In the Group box keep it at 1. In the Priority box leave it at 1 if this is the player you most want. In the Delete if Group Picked box change to yes.

Lets say you are looking for a SS and there are 5 that you want the most. Type in their last name in orderof preference as above in the Create a Proxy area. You would keep all of them as group 1 and change the priority number from 1 to 5 in order for all of them. By making them all Yes in the Delete if Group Picked box as soon as your proxy picks your highest available player from that group the rest of the SS in that group will be deleted so that you wouldn't draft 2 SS's.

If 3B is the next position to pick then you can list some 3B in order as a proxy and list them all as group 2. So when your proxy picks a SS for your first selection it will delete the rest of the SSs you had chosen and then pick your highest listed 3B for your next pick and so on.

Sound confusing? It isn't once you start using it.

Alright, Penn. I've counted players - let's make the swap.

[DOUGGRAY]

lol, I counted too :D

so I will swap our draft positions.

Jablow,

what exactly were you counting as you contemplated making the swap with Penn? Color me stupid .... :oops:
