Draft start time on Thursday?

[Iamonebigmofo]

Just checking as I didn't see it listed. Let's start this early! None of us actually do any work while were at work anyways.

LMAO it's been slow this summer for sure haha.. but I think the 9pm EST start time is good because we have some west coast owners who'd be in trouble if we started any earlier. I'm in fantasy football leagues with a similar scenario and the 9pm EST start time works really well.

I'll pause the draft at 11pm-ish, meaning once we get around 11pm EST, I'll pause it after a round ends. then we'll do the same Friday evening, and then start up again Saturday at noon (12 EST/9 am PST). At that point, I think I'll just let it go until it ends, and if you want to stick around and keep drafting all day, you are more than welcome, but it's all optional of course.


At the end of Thursday and Friday I'll post Best and Worst draft picks of the night. ;-) so bring your A game!

We are spreading the draft around 3 days? THurs,FRi,Sat. That seems odd but ok. I assume we will be able to start playing on Sunday. Are there any rules That I should be aware of since I am new to this lg. How long do we have to complete games?

What happened to weekend drafting? I guess Im whining because of a Friday conflict and not be able to keep up with whats going on, how many rounds are we looking at each day?

the poll results decided it. we're starting Thursday night 9pm-11pm EST. Friday night 9pm-11pm EST and then also Saturday starting at noon EST until it's finished.

However, I might start it a little later than noon (a guy has to eat lunch ya'll! lol) maybe 12:30.. please bear with me.

How long the draft takes will depend on the owners..... have some kind of plan going in and we'll get done quicker. Once I've got my starters and a couple solid bakups, I'm handing off the rest of my draft to the CPU and my Draft Board list.

When did we decide this?

I thought we were going to do weekend mornings and longer drafting then 2 hours? In 2 hours we are going to get like 2-3 rounds done. Spreading it out over days is kinda a bad idea to. Get it started and get it finished, My wife isnt going to go for the "we cant do anything this weekend because the draft is every night".

Yes, but you can pre-rank your players and the CPU will draft off of your list. It is a bit of a pain to do it, but if you want to increase the chances the CPU will draft a player you want, you really don't have much choice.

Yeah, you can pre-set your draft picks.

In fact, whether you are going to be there or not, people should pre-set their draft picks for at least the first few rounds, just in case something comes up and you can't make a live pick.

If the draft is staying for this thursday, can we make it for 10pm eastern, 7pm pacific?
