[glenn1]

In of course.

 

[slayer202]

I'm in again

 

[TangoJuliet]

Any thoughts on the draft date. The tentative date is Easter Sunday and a couple of people said that wouldn't work but no alternates were given.

 

[Imported]

In.

 

[TangoJuliet]

Changed the draft date/time to Friday March 25 @ 8:00pm EST. Please let me know if you have an issue with it. Thanks

Still waiting for the rest of the guys to sign up. If anyone else is interested in playing please let me know.

 

[TangoJuliet]

8/12 signed up

 

[slayer202]

I'm gonna have to drop out

 

[TangoJuliet]

9/12 signed up

Just waiting to hear back from KT and neovan

 

[TangoJuliet]

10/12 signed up

Still waiting to hear from neovan.

As per the post on 2/20

Draft date was changed to Friday March 25 @ 8:00pm EST. Please let me know if you have an issue with it.

 

[TangoJuliet]

I know that some people like to have the draft order determined prior to the draft for pre-planning/mocking.

Would you guys like to have the draft determined by last year's standings in reverse (ie. 12th place finish drafts #1, 11th place #2, etc etc) or I can do a online randomizer.

Let me know

 

[slayer202]

I'm back in. Actually, on second thought, I'm back out. Sorry.

 

[Imported]

I like random order.

 

[KeithTalent]

I vote random.

KT

 

[glenn1]

No preference. If the majority votes random I would prefer we get told our spots with some advance notice before the draft. I also presume that trading draft spots is kosher if agreed to by the respective owners.

 

[KeithTalent]

The sooner we can learn our draft order, the better.

KT

 

[glenn1]

The sooner we can learn our draft order, the better.

KT

Yeah, I need more than 30 minutes to figure out which of KTs planned picks I'm gonna snipe.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, I need more than 30 minutes to figure out which of KTs planned picks I'm gonna snipe.

I was reading some fantasy article yesterday and I barely recognized half the names! I don't think anyone has to worry about me.

KT

 

[TangoJuliet]

If you guys want to "trade" draft positions thats fine by me as long as there arent any players/picks involved (too complicated).

 

[soulcougher73]

Random order

 

[TangoJuliet]

11/12 have signed up

 

[TangoJuliet]

Hello,

The league buy in is now due. The buy in is $33 if you pay with a credit card or $30 if it is a bank transfer (no fees).

I sent an email out with instructions on where the payment is to be sent.

Once all the dues are collected the draft order will be determined.

 

[TangoJuliet]

Everyone has returned from last year 12/12. The payouts are listed in the OP. Emails have gone out requesting the dues. Once those are paid the draft order can be set.

Please, if you have any issues with the draft date/time say something and don't wait until the last minute.

Good luck!!

Honestly, some of us want to get on with obsessing about our draft slot and how no matter which one we got, how a different one might be better.
