Tour Finals Chat Thread & Discussion

I agree with uncle ny.

For what it's worth, I'm also not surprised at the pace...expected an 8-round draft on the boards would take at least a week. Have seen lots worse, even with automated DD-type drafts. Seems like there's usually somebody who doesn't check in, leave proxies, etc., tho finals drafts usually go pretty smoothly. And no matter what, there's usually a bigmahon to keep reminding us how slow we are!

Anyhow, after months of competition with overlapping leagues, I don't mind a leisurely pace for the big tamale. I think we're doing fine, J-Pav is doing great as usual, and I'm thankful for a great group of finalists with no chronic laggards. Looking forward to an outstanding league, whenever we get started, and my obligatory good luck wishes to all...if only you guys weren't all such damn good managers, I might even have the team I want!

Not any more! I'm going slow now too!

Day 8 - Round 8. Fast, no. Predictable, yes.

Do you guys want to load and go tomorrow, or not?

If we finish today, we can even start loading later this evening...

Managers,

I went ahead and built out the league. The password has been sent to the East. If anyone can NOT start on Monday, please speak up here. We'll press forward unless the league loading fails to fill before the Friday deadline, or if someone voices opposition to starting on January 25th.

Personally, I remain indifferent to the start date, but knowing the managers, I'm fairly sure everyone likely wants to press onward.

GL to all -

Team is ready. I'll be out of touch after 5pm CST tomorrow though.

This has nothing to do w the finals but I thought you'd find it interesting if you haven't seen it yet. There's also a thread on it in another folder.

Sorry guys, I'm about to go offline for 36-48 hours with a trip to Asia. I expect I'll be able to load Sunday morning (Sat night here) if not a little bit sooner.

No worries - we'll wait for you.

Likely a stupid question but I don't want to be the one who screws up: please confirm if your drafted players go to the top or bottoms of our draft order. Thanks.

Drafted players always go on the bottom.

Not that there are integrity issues here, but since there's no way to police the draft lists, the best course of action is always to put your seven drafted players in the last seven spots of the rank order.
