Who doesn't like Advent calendars! What could only be better than chocolate is perhaps a daily does of SOM.

I think 24 team leagues are the most fun but with such a small community here they don't occur very often. Maybe a slow draft may help. We should be able to do a round per day (ie set your queue each morning if you think you can't check during the day) or something. Heck you even have to draft your ballpark - are their 24 good ones even!

And Merry Christmas everyone (yes I said it)

All are welcome !

I'm in. I love the idea of a 24 team live draft, even if it is slow. Its also an excellent way to work on one's patience..lol

May I make one suggestion though? Probably change it from frenzy to waivers, otherwise the frenzy will start when the last person drafts, which could be at 3 in the morning.

I agree with this suggestion.

Though after a full 24 team live draft I expect most teams to be pretty well set.

But still....

Pushed the start to Sunday at noon. Will push out once more but if we are still a long ways from filing…… Christmas may be canceled for this league

UPDATE: changed to no clock - so pick when you can.

In attempt to attract more people, I dropped the clock. This was suggested by Bob Hoser who has had good experience with the no clock setting. much easier to work with when balancing life. Not this also mean picks can be made at any time - including the middle of the night (even if you life on the west coast).
