Event 3, League 9 Sign-ups - DRAFT ORDER DETERMINED

[packleader]

Thanks

Marcus,

I thought I was pretty good at this thing 2-3 years ago when I played. I have quickly realized I was just playing in the minors. Playing against the top managers in this forum has given me a rude awakening. I am 8 games under .500 in league 1 and 2 and my tail is between my legs. I think the draft format is wonderful. It would be cool to do one of these things using just one league, having an unlimited budget, and drafting all 25. That would make us all think!

BTW...i am playing strat right now as we speak. I have started a project 2 years ago where i manually play all games. I started with '84 and now I am on '86 AL. The Red Sox stink they are 25-40 they will not make it to the WS.

Anyone else play!

James,

then you have to play in a 200 M draft league. It is set just like you wish it.

guys,

i am off to italy for a week with my family tomorrow and just found out that the villa where we are staying does not have internet access. the nearest town is 10 miles away from the villa...

i understand everyone's desire to get moving and start the league on monday. if we do that, i will be unable to participate in waivers and will be unable to set my line-ups or do any drop/adds until June 18th - 7 days into the league.

i did not realize the remote nature of the villa we are staying at, as we are the guests of my in-laws. unless we get the league set up and teams entered by tomorrow at noon, i will be unable to even enter my team.

i apologize for this late notice. i would greatly appreciate if we could start the league a week from monday. i know this will not be a happy thought, and will go along with whatever we do.

if starting a week from monday is unacceptable, i can try to get a replacement manager for my team, or i can give the league commish my password and you can enter my team and it can play on autopilot until i return. while i could live with this outcome, i fear it would be unfair to the other teams not in my division, as my team would likely have a rough time for the 1st week of the season.

i will be on line tomorrow morning to respond to the comments. i truly apologize for this situation, which i did not forsee.

Woods,

Personally, I don't mind starting June19---but my understanding is that this will force you to find someone to enter your team in the league, because it will be too late the 18th to do it.

I don't mind doing it for you; you can set up your 25, and send me in private message your username and password, so I'll get in the team for you.

Woods,

I was thinking something along the same lines as Lucky, perhaps some general emailing between you two would help to set-up guidelines along which Lucky could guide your team till you return?

Personally I can't think of a better substitute manager to have looking after the team in your absense.

I am with Tyber.

I don't mind starting the 19th either. I would rather have all teams and managers present for the league start.

Also, I believe Teepack was trying to get a 12th league for this event, so if that were to start and get filled, they would not be starting till then either. So the time frame wouldn't matter.

I am fine with a delayed start, why don't we get the league up and running and have everyone in except for marcus, and he can jump in when we are all ready to go

as for our draft card, do we list all of our picks first or last?

I won't have computer access from the very early on the 16th through late on the 19th. Heading for a wedding out of state.

If we can do the waivers and some drop adds before next Friday, that would be good. If not, then I'm likely up a creek.
