Thanks for letting me join. It looks like I have a ton to do to catch up with you guys. I haven't participated in a live draft for several years. Is it a "definite" that I should sign up for the "full year" on stratdraft.com or are you still debating the platform to use?

Welcome!

You'll love the league. We've been together for more than a decade and still like each other.

As for the draft site, joe will know more about it. Do you have experience with the site?

Spider, welcome aboard! Yeah, this is the longest running LD in SOMO. You can see our history in the link above.

As for what we're doing, we are waiting to hear from Stoney who has been checking out the site. As Semper says, do you have experience with it?

I have not had experience with stratdraft.com. I've read the site's Introduction and, on the surface, it looks like they've tried to cover a wide variety of options - but haven't forked over the bucks necessary to check things out.

My experience on live draft platforms is extremely limited - I think twice on diamond dope several years ago. Most of my "live drafting" has been on the boards - which is good for the early rounds, but tends to fall apart when two or three players lose interest and are skipped for several rounds. Then REPICKS take over and player availability becomes very confusing unless someone devotes their life to keeping everyone else (myself included) in line.

I will be fine with any method used to conduct the live drafts. It's highly unlikely I would be unavailable for extended periods (more than 4 or 5 hours at a shot) unless satellite internet issues intervene. I live in NC mountains, so heavy storms and high winds can put me out of commission for a bit. Computer illiteracy is my greater challenge.

Spider - I can't be too far from you. I live upstate S.C. - small town between Greenville and Clemson.

Jeep, I'm on the east slope of the Blue Ridge, about 12 miles from Boone, NC. Lived in Hickory, NC for 29 years before moving an hour north. We are about 3 hours from you, if you're near Easley.
