Event 5, League 7 (AL only)

[blsmith7]

JServi, we still need you and BBrool to post your previous parks played. And a suggestion that I have is to create a team on SOM and follow along as we do the draft. Then, there is no confusion about which league a guy played in.

Also, what do you guys think about going to a two hour clock once the first round is completed and everyone has checked in? We can turn the clock off during the night of course.

Are proxies loaded? SGT D

[TIMOTHYBRADLEY]

nope, maybe I could see a round, draft is very thin, proxy in 1,2,3 is crazy, why not just auto draft then......been waiting for days to make a pick. we can skip a summer weekend.

OK Guys,

If one guy won't be around this weekend & won't due proxies then we should suspend the draft until Monday morning with a firm 2 hour clock rule. If we don't make it firm then I guarantee we will be making concessions for a few of our guys, the same guys, on a regular basis & it will take forever to finish this draft.

Sticking to the outlined rules would be kind of nice. There's absolutely no reason not to set 6-10 proxies and move this along. A live draft need not last more than a day or two. Hell, Steve is in Australia and he's not late with picks. We should be [i:3d971cfcaa]finished[/i:3d971cfcaa] by 4:20 on Friday, not waiting four more days just to begin.

For what it's worth, next week is bad for me. Monday I have all day hockey camp, Tuesday I'm meeting with my sports performance-enhancement guru, and Wednesday I've got the sports psychologist, who claims I need to work on being more patient.

Thursday and Friday I'm taking off for some chill time away from the computer.

:wink:

...but I'll still have proxies set.

I was in a Live Draft and went on vacation and my 1st round pick was a Proxy and I think I made only 2 or 3 LIVE Picks and the rest were proxies because I did not want to hold up the rest of the guys. Some of the regular leagues and guy's I play with have my number and have called me in the past to make my pick for me. Everyone to their own I guess. SGT D

I'm glad so many of you feel this way. I only made the sugestion because it's impossible to make someone comply. I've been in a live draft recently with guys that made a 1-2 day process literally take over a week. So if most of us feel this way & want to move it along do we have anyone in the wings that we can replace any fallout with if that happens?

Look what I'm talking about. We have only had 5 picks all day. How does that happen?
