Ready as well.

So can I trade down in the first for an extra second and third? ;) :mrgreen:

There is a draft thread in the Player's Championship forum, in case some of you haven't seen it.

Just a suggestion...not sure if it will work because it will be difficult or impossible to co-ordinate our schedules...

Is it worth trying to arrange a time (say a two hour time period) where we are all online and we try to get several picks done? Wouldn't work unless we are all here.

What about Friday evening 9pm EST?

Obviously, in the meantime, we get as many picks done as possible...

Thoughts?

That's a pretty hard thing to coordinate, I think (although personally I love the idea).

Herding cats is the toughest thing about tour play. There are simply too many moving parts to coordinate it in any meaningful way.

One round a day is actually a pretty decent pace, but I want to emphasize "pace".

A possible solution is this: if each player will ALWAYS check in on an assigned hour, the draft will move in a fairly healthy way. If Marc started at 9am (EST), and I went at 10, and SteadyEddie at 11 and so on, by 9pm each night we will have covered a full round without all the handwringing that goes on with checking the draft every few minutes all day long and living in a state of constant sadness and disappointment.

The other benefit to something like this is being able to digest the picks and having time to reevaluate things. I knew Marc would go either Harper or Arrieta, but I was kind of leaning he would go with Harper. I was prepared when he didn't, but having some time to assess that without 11 people watching me was still preferable to the conference call method.

Just my oh two.

You can also subscribe to the Draft Thread and get email notifying you when someone has posted. Works pretty slick when you know you're 5 spots away and you get 4 email notifications
