BS Champions League- draft started, James Schubert is up

[Detroit-Tigers]

Rosco I would love that, but some people might have meetings and such or limited access at work.

For those of you who don't use proxies or check on the status of the draft on short intervals, please let those of us who do know why. If you don't know how to set up the proxies, one of us will be happy to assist. Since we're all here because we're supposedly good at this game and we've all played at least five seasons this year, knowing the players shouldn't be a real issue. I find the delays bothersome and, frankly, impolite. I'll rant only once but want you to know what I'm thinking.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation in getting this thing done promptly. A draft with a decent pace is MUCH more fun for everybody and also I think more condusive to putting together a competitive team.

correct?[/quote:0cab214d51]

That is also correct.

what unc said.

I agree with the fact that everyone should use proxies, but let's also remember no one as of yet has gone beyond the 4 hour pick limit.

Yes, it's frustrating, aggravating, etc., but as much as I hate to admit it, they've broken no rules and really don't owe us any apologies or explanations.

All that being said, it WOULD be very CONSIDERATE to use proxies and make picks in a much more timely fashion.

Sh** happens, like with my late night pick last night where I didn't have my proxies loaded (completely my fault), but round after round of zero proxies can certainly be avoided.

[Roscodog]

I also agree with uncle ny.

I know guys often don't have access at work (either do I) or are away but that's what the proxies are for. I remember why I hated the 1st and only other live draft I did so much now.

[hendrix08]

I agree 100% with what uncle ny wrote.

I don't mind if someone holds up the draft because something came up or they didn't have enough proxies. But to let each and every pick go the full 4 hours is inconsiderate without at least some explanation why.

[FRANKZAHN]

I also wish the pace would pick up. however I do not have a problem with people not using their proxies, especially in the early rounds.

god, it was murderous picking a ballpark 5th round... but just more proof that the champions league is BS... on the one hand, the winner of the this league is crowned the champ, no other leagues matter... yet on the other hand, you cant use any ballpark that you previously used... unreal...

I actually like the stadium requirement, both the "in" season and "post" season parts.
