In case anyone hasn't been through it before, here's the steps before first pitch.
1. set up the draft on Diamond Dope and make sure everyone has their login working.
2. We conduct the draft on DD
3. We fill out our draft list on the SOM site
4. We enter our teams in the finals league
5. After all teams are entered, SOM will start the league as normal
Last year, the last of the teams didn't entered the league until Saturday, so we couldn't make any roster moves until 5PM on Super Bowl Sunday. Personally, I am busy with Super Bowl entertaining all evening, and have work on Monday. There was almost no opportunity to finalize my roster and set up the team before first pitch on Monday evening.
At a normal pace, it should only take 3 days to get through the draft and another day or two to enter the teams. I don't know why it was so slow last year (probably a combination of factors). Even with Diamond Dope rookies, we should be done by mid-week.
I would very much appreciate it if we could move the process along so that the teams are entered in the league by Friday or earlier to avoid the Super Bowl conflict. Thanks for understanding.
