$60 Million Live - Drafting

[PossibleJohn]

I don't think anyone is getting skipped on the weekends. Per the commish's rules:

"- Unlimited Time For First Round Pick, 2 hour time limit each pick after (clock is on 8 am - 10 pm EST, weekdays) "

I will be stuck in a training class out of town with zippo internet starting Tues - Thursday.

mbrake, you still have questions about the draft?

While we set up maybe we can run through some of the basics.

Feel free to ask away :D

[mbrake]

When?
Penn's site?
my id?
proxies?
etc.

Sorry for the dumb questions, first live draft & I don't want to screw it up or piss anyone off. I'm intrigued by the concept, just need the basic road map. Please keep me up to speed so I don't delay anyone.

[cummings2]

Not stupid questions at all,

Let's see, fairly quickly since I have to run.

When? - I believe we're just waiting for everyone to check in. Once that is done the draft will be set up in...

Penn's? - www.fantasysportstools.com

Id? - when the draft is set up you'll get a login id. (mbrake) and your password, by default is [i:2ded496ca7]test[/i:2ded496ca7] When you go the site you'll see on the left frame "Live draft" click on it and it'll ask you for your id & password. Once in you'll see enter draft and listed under that you'll see this particular one. If you click on the draft you'll be able to create proxies, make your picks, check draft summary, etc. Once you log in you'll be able to change your passsword to whatever you choose BTW.

The entire site is very simple to learn and intuitive. There's even a help section.

proxies? -Well, if you'll be away from the computer you can make and leave a list of players you'd like to choose you can do so by round, group, priority... when your turn comes to pick, if you left the proxies "on" then the top player that you listed gets chosen for you :)

Setting proxies is quite simple don't worry about that.

Hope we covered some of your questions, pleaase feel free to ask away.

And half the magic in proxies in turning them on. :) In every league I'm in, someone inevitably leaves for a spell, returning to be so bummed they didn't turn their proxies on, finding that instead of getting the players they wanted, they've got blanks to make up ASAP, some of their hopefuls had been chosen in subsequent picks of the same round, etc. Don't forget to turn proxies ON. :) PJ

I appologize for having to do this, but my work schedule for the next two weeks is no going to work for a live draft since my internet access will be severely limited. Someone else can fill my spot. I don't feel like I would be able to field a competetive team if I cannot fully participate in the draft and waivers.

[PossibleJohn]

This, my friends, is a void. So is the status one manager needed or two (mbrake + terry)?

[Terry101]

Yes, Terry will have to pull out. It took a little too long and now it is running into a week where I will have no access. There is a 60 mil league that just folded, hopefully two from there can take the two needed here. Really sorry. Hope it fills quickly for you guys.
