Event 5, League 6 (NL Only)

[luckeroll]

Yep my first live draft was like three weeks. and I guess the second experience will be the same. Look at it this way. By the time we finish we will be starting the next event as well

Cannot make a pick since I am not in the draft. :P

This is the message that has been on the draft website for two days now:

Welcome BTHNYBCHBUM
Round 1
ARRYLT has pick #5
until 2006-07-31 12:40:36 EST

Perhaps someone set you up with username ARRYLT (password = test) rather than AT. Try that and see if it works.

I'm no expert with the draft website, but I'm guessing that's the problem.

[JAMESSCHUBERT]

can we identify who is ready and replace those who arent and get the 2 hour clock started

[teepack]

arrylt, log in as arrylt with password test, then change your password to whatever you wish. You'll have to use that ID for this draft.

You guys need to pick up the pace a bit! :D

Don't you think it's time to find a replacement? The guy has been posting on other boards several times the last two days (including after Teepak's clarification last night), but he can't find time to get this straightened out? He knew there was a problem yet he waited 2 1/2 days to even make another post about it? It's time to move on.

I was not aware until yesterday that there was a draft up - I've checked every day to see if a draft was up and there was never one listed under my drafts on the draft site - kind of hard to know you're in the draft if whomever set it up didnt bother to actually include you in the draft.

I've got more important & dear leagues to take care of, so I'm not going to apologize for keeping myself occupied while I waited for the draft to start.

The fact is, it is not my fault nor my problem that I am not in the draft, and I don't see any reason why I need to use the wrong user id, especially after I specifically stated what my user id was, to help avoid such an occurance.

If a replacement wants to take over & use that id, they are welcome to it, and I'll gladly join another league where you don't get blamed for something you didnt know about & didnt do.

[ArrylT]

I'd gladly set up a new draft with all the correct user ids ... except for the fact that I don't know what everyones user id is, and I don't want to make the same mistake our LC did. ;)

If someone can post the user ids from the current incorrect draft, I'm willing to set up the new draft.

[LongIsland4Ever]

ArrylT - You are obviously a seasoned Strat gamer and it is not your fault that your userid was set improperly. I'm sure it could be a hassle for you over the next few days to have to log into the draft system as ArrylT for this draft and AT for your other drafts.

BUT, we have been sitting around here for almost a week just waiting for you. Is there any way you can bring yourself to loggin in as ArrylT for this draft only so we can move forward? 11 of us are waiting your reply.


If there are others in this league who would like to chyme in with an alternative solution, please let us know.

I don't know how difficult it is to set up the league and the ID's so can not make a specific coment to that issue. However, I have been in 2 draft leagues during this tour and both times have had problems with the slow or non-draft process.

Once things get started it was okay last live drat and I can only assume that this draft will be the same. I think there needs to be a better way to communicate the draft set up and start. For future drafts maybe since we start the league with the listing of stadiums we should also list our draft software ID's if we have one. If no draft ID then list NO DRAFT ID, LC please set up. Also first in should be LC?

I would like to start this live draft and if anyone knows of a non-tour live draft league that I can participate in please let me know.

LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
