Live draft...why not?

[Semper Gumby]

I could if it didn't seem more luck than skill to me. :?

Can anyone ever recall getting the same two high priced player in consecutive leagues only to get their worse card both times?

I had Stieb's and Reuschel's worse card based on the ass ugly splits -

Ain't hard to figure out Stieb's 5R season :oops:

Are we going to keep the clock on for the weekend?

[Semper Gumby]

Me?

I am in no rush to start the season.

I am having the time of my life losing in the two I'm in now. :roll:

Yes...the clock will go from 7am till 9pm until the draft is over...even if it goes into the weekend. I would hope it could be finished by then.

Isn't anybody in a league with Fatty? Please send him a league message if you are.

So Fatty has until 10am tomorrow to pick. I have enough proxies to go, but will be unavailable tomorrow morning to pick if needed. Lets hope nothing tragic has happened to Fats

Thsi is more like a "Dead" draft rather than a Live one... :x

That is why we need the clock

[Jimmy_C]

OK...Before this becomes the draft that "time forgot", here are our options:

1. Fatty surfaces, makes his pick, draft resumes.
2. The clock is going on in 2 hours, Fatty never surfaces (which would
be a big surprise, because I've played in 2 leagues with him and he
is a solid player). Draft resumes less 1 manager.
3. About the 4th round, we are going to have a big problem if Fatty still
hasn't surfaced...we will have an imbalance in the draft. If Fatty does
resume drafting at that point, we probably would still be OK but how
far do we go with only 11 managers.
4. Or...we can look for a replacement manager if Fatty still hasn't
checked in by, say, noon EST today...Draft order stays the same
and we insert an interested manager into Fatty's spot.

Stuff happens suddenly in peoples lives...I lived that personally this past summer when instead of going home from work as usual, I went for an ambulance ride and an overnight in the hospital. Of course checking in on strat was not an option then.

I am going to ask that if nobody has a problem with OPTION #4, then at noon today I am going to try to insert a replacement manager (I hope the draft engine would allow this...does anyone know if it's possible to do this?)

SOGCOMMANDO...PENNGRAY...are you out there? Would either of you be interested?

Guys...let me know what you think...

I would say noon today is too soon, you took the ride, you know. I am in no rush. Can we wait until Monday 7am?

Ughhh.
No real good options here other than the re-appearence of Fatty.
He has not posted in three days on the boards. It's too early to make assumptions, but I hope he doesn't dissapear like DJTrickster.
