[ALL "D"]

[IcedHood]

K well won't be here, as stated before

[Bunnerjk]

Sunday @ 8:00 PM is perfect for me...

That sounds good too, is everyone good with this?

[IcedHood]

Well, for the third time...never mind..

May as well take me out of the league then since I'm constantly being ignored it seems.

[Bunnerjk]

Sorry Hood, didn't mean to ignore you........it's just gonna be hard to find an exact date and time to work for all 20 people, please suggest a date YO!!!!!

[BuffaloChip]

K well won't be here, as stated before

2 WORDS!

AUTO DRAFT

[syracuse76]

20 man draft is gonna take 20 hours

[RoscoeMagic]

20 man draft is gonna take 20 hours

good point. i can't believe we didn't think of this earlier.

the draft should not be at one time since there are so many people.

we should draft over the course of a week or so with each person having an alotted time, such as a couple hours, to make a pick.

[ByrdMan4Roty]

this is not going to take twenty hours lol

[BuffaloChip]

this is not going to take twenty hours lol

You are right I have a feeling alot of people wont make it & will be on AUTO DRAFT!

[Block "O"]

Auto drafts suck in my opinion. I for one want to be there and see who is on the board at the time of my pick.

[BuffaloChip]

Oh its going to be a live draft but for those that dont show will get auto!

[syracuse76]

just let me know when the time is in stone and ready to go .........shoud make it on a ufc 101.....could watch the fight .....and draft!!!!!!!!!!!!! august 8th
UFC : Ultimate Fighting Championship (http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.FightCard&eid=2209)

[syracuse76]

ya that UFC 101 day is sounding even better now

[Bunnerjk]

Lets draft now......

[Block "O"]

Lets draft now......

yes

[ByrdMan4Roty]

i mean i do not see why you can not draft now i mean do you really think that there will be huge trades before this draft?

[syracuse76]

maybe

[BuffaloChip]

i mean i do not see why you can not draft now i mean do you really think that there will be huge trades before this draft?

I think its more about injuries than trades.

[syracuse76]

i think we should revert to my idea.....august.....during ufc 101.....yup.....lets do i then

[Bunnerjk]

I think its more about injuries than trades.

Agreed!!!

[syracuse76]

august 8th is a good day

[ByrdMan4Roty]

August 8th it is!

[SmokeShowin]

My brothers wedding day.

[Block "O"]

LMAO do we even have a draft date yet? This league is already out of control :roflmao:

[syracuse76]

My brothers wedding day.
ok well have the wedding near a computer so you can draft :gig:

[syracuse76]

ya a solid date would be good as the season nears closer that august 8th weekend would be great though. 7th , 8th, 9th would be tits

[RoscoeMagic]

You had me at tits :ill:

[Block "O"]

August 7, 8, and 9th? Can we pick a worse date? HELLO HOF weekend!!!!! How about we have the draft on september 14th at around 9pm? Having the draft that weekend would be like not recognizing Dolce and Gabana :ss:

[syracuse76]

its the only weekend have off dick

[Bunnerjk]

Just say NO to HOF weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[syracuse76]

Just say NO to HOF weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what about the weekend after then ? ill be working nights and i can jump on during that.

[RoscoeMagic]

Who's up for a good old-fashioned UFC Fantasy League? :ss:

[syracuse76]

Who's up for a good old-fashioned UFC Fantasy League? :ss:
they do have those........but even though i am an MMA homer i have to say that would be kinda of ummmm.........samantha like

[Bunnerjk]

Sounds good to me. But as I said before, it's gonna be immpossible to have all 20 of us on and ready to draft at the same time.

[RoscoeMagic]

I think the later the better. I don't want my first round pick to get injured during the 3rd preseason game 2 days after we have the draft.

[syracuse76]

Sounds good to me. But as I said before, it's gonna be immpossible to have all 20 of us on and ready to draft at the same time.
no i think you have a good point that needs to be addressed sooner then later. its coming quick, we need to draft soon. maybe over a 3 day span or something with the person getting lika 2hours limit or something so fit the schedule i dunno i mean that would fair. i just know auto draft would kinda suck ya know

[BuffaloChip]

I want to know of the 20 people in this league how many are still actively posting?
I personally think that the # of people gets smaller, I dont know that everyone thats signed up is still around. Im sure we could find people to replace them, though.

Im a Commish for this league & man this league couldnt be more complicated to set up.

I wanna use Def. players, with 20 people we need more ways to score.

[Block "O"]

Bunna never dedicates himself to fantasy leagues :mad:

We gotta get this figured out...NOW!
If we do a live draft, 20 people more than likely wont all be avaliable at the same time.
We can do a Offline draft, we make a thread, give a draft limit time


1. Offline draft without a PC . In this low-tech approach where all members are together for the draft, one person simply records all the picks on paper. At the completion of the draft, the commissioner must use the For Commissioners > Setup > Load/Unload Rosters option to manually enter in each team's draft picks.

Pros:
Draft can be held anywhere (no PC required)

No prep work necessary

Cons:
Most manual labor required (double entry of picks)

Greatest risk of error

Does not support a Draft Report

[Block "O"]

Another negative is time time time. I remember when we had a 7 round rookie draft leading upto the 2008 draft on BBMB. It took like almost 3 months to get through it.

My thoughts exactly! Thats why I think we set a date, found out how many teams are seriously playing, do a live draft, if you dont make it, the CPU picks for you.

[syracuse76]

well hell fellas........chip has a point......i mean how many people are actually in this thing now we could be down to 10 for all we know. i say start another thread and see who is dedicated to this give that a week, set up a date (other then HOF weekend evidently) and lets get this thing rolling. i mean this is getting a lil out of hand that i why i started this thread a while back. i mean as long as its night time i can do it. weather at work or whatever just make it after 7pm and im good. im sure everyone should be able to i mean ....i duno which ever. i just know we need to get the ducks line up in a row on this

[buffbuffpass]

im down for whenever just give me time, place, date and ill be there

[RoscoeMagic]

If you can't check once a week then I question your dedication for the good of the billievers league :ss:

As reigning champ don't I get a say in this? :sc:

[SmokeShowin]

I told chip in a PM that my brothers wedding is the 8th. Any other day I can make myself available without a doubt. But if the 8th is the best date for everybody else, I will deal with the automatic picks.

Question, does the system we're using allow you to set a list such as Yahoo does if you can't be there for the live draft? I'm assuming the answer is no by what's been said so far, but figured I'd ask anyway.

[2buff4u]

I am still in........Let me know when we are going to draft...............

[Bunnerjk]

Block "O" is a dead beat owner, I'am jus sayin'.........

I think you can Smoke! I want to start giving you access to the league & your teams.

[BuffaloChip]

Emails have been sent to the 15 people that are in so far to join the league.
Click on the link to the site then go to your franchise #, you can change the name, add an Icon(picture next to name) and logo. You can set your player draft list order too if you dont like the default.
Im still setting up some other things too.
If you got an email showing the draft order, dont get upset or exciting it will be random again when we have our final count of teams and everybody has signed up.

LIVE DRAFT DATE- Sun. AUG. 23, 2009 at 8:00pm
Plenty of time to make plans to be available, if you cant make it the CPU will pick for you

So the draft order it has now will change? thats cool because right now it has be picking 20th and im a rookie at this lol

[BuffaloChip]

Yeah Ive never used this program & didnt mean to have the order out yet, plus not everyone has signed in so It will be randomly ordered 1 hour before draft & you will receive an email of the order.

[RoscoeMagic]

I will check my email and join later tonight!!

[Billsforevers]

I am in but I was under the impression that All D was master minding my logo. As for team Name I am the Tempe Billsforevers. Yes that is correct and i do know it is improper english. =)

Hi BillsSometimes, long time no see :D

[TenThumbs]

Yeah Ive never used this program & didnt mean to have the order out yet, plus not everyone has signed in so It will be randomly ordered 1 hour before draft & you will receive an email of the order.

The draft order will change one hour before?

Damn, I was making my gameplan with the order that was set.

The pressure.

[TenThumbs]

The 20th is not bad. You should have two solid picks at 20 and 21.

Much rather have that then the first. You might get yourself Peterson, but then you have the 40th pick next. An injury and your whole season could go up in smoke.

I feel thats part of the excitement of not knowing till the drafts about to start then you gotta GAME PLAN. But nothing will be certain, trust me, people you think will be there are not. With this many people I think alot of players are going to go higher than normal!

Already planned on that Chip. Its going to be tough if you just have to have a player. Do you take a chance or draft him early? Never did a twenty team draft and boy, it should be interesting.

[RoscoeMagic]

1 hour before?

:beerbang:

I didn't want the 2nd pick anyway.
