WINTER 1969 - WEST LOADING - Gordie Howe is last team!

[GFDWARF07]

Two new user names set-up:

RJNEWMAN and GORDIE_HOWE

Their initial password is: TEST

Gordie - note that you need to use the understrike between your user names.

A couple of you had multiple similar user names in the system - here are the ones I used:

LDANRED
HAILEDOG
GORDIE_HOWE
RJNEWMAN
SNEEZEDOC
BRANDONCRAIG
ALLSTARINC
FRANKY35
NTEXASWIDOWMAKER
RISDEN
JETT_BLACK
GFDWARF

let me know if you have any trouble finding the draft.


OK, with Risden's flip flop I will also go with NO DH, so we have a decision! NO DH

That is the way I first advertised it anyway.

Risden and I are set up as draft admin people - post something here if you have any questions or issues.

DIVISIONS ARE:

[b:73887a411b]East: [/b:73887a411b]
ldanred
rjnewman
allstar inc
risden

[b:73887a411b]Central: [/b:73887a411b]
hailedog
sneezedoc
franky35
jetblack

[b:73887a411b]West: [/b:73887a411b]
gordie howe
brandon craig
N texas widowmkrs
gfdwarf07


When we get through the draft and set up the league, risden (being in the east) can set it up and give out the password east to west as the league fills to get everyone in the right division. OK, Bob?

Thanks all!

REMINDER: DRAFT 19 players and a stadium in your 20 rounds.

[Rjnewman]

Does everybody know we are live?

[GFDWARF07]

I sent him a message - he will check it sometime soon. Look at this like a marathon, not a sprint. The first round is tough because nobody knows for sure when the sign-up list will fill up and the draft start.

Just so you know, we may go through several spurts where we get a bunch of picks knocked off in fairly good succession. But with differing schedules, etc. it will inevitably bog down sometimes over the course of 20 rounds. So be patient. it's not like the SOM live draft at all. You can't hunker down and get it done in a couple hours.

I will send PMs to people if they have not responded for awhile and generally we can all try to keep it moving. There is a four hour clock limit after the first round, I believe. Then the next person can go after 4 hours, but they have to make a manual pick - the website will still say the other person is up. Generally we will do our best to wait for the next person and all try to keep checking.

It would be nice to finish in 3-5 days, but we will just have to see.

Aaaah
Rico Petrocelli...
I was wondering who would go first.
I figured it was going to be......

[GFDWARF07]

I am counting on some real studs available at picks 12 and 13! Ugh

I am right there with you pal, I'm at 11 and 14.
I thinking there are at least 14 studs available, what concerns me is that gap between the 2nd and 3rd pick...my 3rd pick is #35. There's not going to be much left by then.

It might be a good idea if everybody pm's you their email address.

Sending me a PM is only good if I sign into the message board system, otherwise I have no idea I have a message. But I'm on my email all day.

Just a thought.

[GFDWARF07]

Then I can try to e-mail you as well when you are up.

Hopefully Gordie Howe will show up soon!

thee stats are more realistic too than the atg power stats

i am terrible picking.
