I suggest everyone read the rules on cbssportsline for roster requirements, position eligibility, injuries, waivers, etc.
To find the rules - Log in to cbssportsline.com with your user id & password. Click on your team under the Fantasy tab. The rules are located under the Home tab.
Here is the excerpt regarding rules for the Live Draft:

[b:b34fff9043]Live Draft Instructions[/b:b34fff9043][/color:b34fff9043]
After you join or create a Live Draft league, you will have the opportunity to make changes to CBSSports.com's default Rank List, which is a list of all MLB players that are eligible to be drafted, ranked from best to worst by our Fantasy experts.
It is recommended that you, prior to your draft, organize the Rank List according to your own player preferences. However, you are welcome to leave the Rank List in the order our experts have provided. During the live draft CBSSports.com will use your Rank List as a backup in case your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below).
On draft day there will be a "Draft Room" link in the Message Center on your League home page — the link is also available in the Draft Prep component of your League Home page. This link will allow entry into the draft room. During the Live Draft, each team will have 90 seconds to select an MLB player. [b:b34fff9043]The order of the draft will be randomly generated between midnight and 6:00 AM ET either the day of, or the day before the draft.[/b:b34fff9043] If your league has the mandatory 10 owners as of approximately 48 hours prior to your scheduled draft date, the league will aggregate and generate a draft order. If not, your league will receive an e-mail explaining that you must have 10 owners as of 24 hours prior to your draft date. If your league does not have 10 team owners as of 24 hours prior to your draft date, your league will be disbanded and each owner will have to join or create another league.
In the draft room, you will be able to place MLB players into a Draft Queue - which is simply a list of players, in order of priority, that you are interested in taking with your next draft pick. When it is your turn to pick, you will have 90 seconds to draft a player. If the 90 seconds pass and you have not manually selected a player, the player ranked highest in your Draft Queue will be automatically drafted. If the Draft Queue is empty, a pick will then be made from your Rank List. In such a case, the highest rated player from the Rank List will be drafted unless that position is filled — in which case the next best available option, at the next highest Ranked position list, will be drafted. The draft order will "snake" at the end of each round, meaning that the team with the last pick in the current round will have the first pick in the next round.
Waiver priority immediately after the draft will be the reverse order of the first round of the draft. So Team #10 will have the highest waiver priority and Team #1 the lowest waiver priority.

[quote:4af26a7637="The Rabid Wolverines"][quote:4af26a7637="Munich_Man"]I'm game, depending on the live draft schedule. The time difference does me in sometimes...[/quote:4af26a7637]
Live draft is Thursday Mar 22 - 10pm eastern
You just have to create a team. If for whatever reason, you are unable to make the live draft, your team would be auto-drafted just like in a SOM Live Draft. So, you if wanted, you could rank your player list (if you want to change it from the default list) the day of the draft just in case you aren't able to be present during draft time.[/quote:4af26a7637]
Ouch, 4am. I suppose I could take my chances with the autodraft..

Sorry about the time. Not much I can do with the time zone difference. The Live Drafts in SOm usually go off around 9-10pm EST, so I figured that would probably be an ideal time for anyone wanting to do the regular season 5x5 league.
It's still a free league. So there's nothing to lose by letting the auto-draft draft your team. You can change the default rankings. It is a snake draft regardless of wheter you are able to live draft or let the computer auto-draft your pick when it's your turn. So you should still wind up with a competitive team. You will get the highest ranked player on your draft list not taken for the most part.
