Draft Format
The draft will take place in this thread once the league has been set up. It is a snake draft. With a couple of name free agents out there, we're probably going to wait another week or two.
If nothing changes, we'll start drafting the morning of Monday February 23rd.
There are 6 hour time limits between the hours of 8am CT and 10pm CT on weekdays. Hopefully we don't have to enforce this but we almost always have to a couple of times during the draft.
If you had more than an hour the previous night (the previous pick was made at 9pm), you get 1 hour in the morning (until 9am) to make your pick. If you had less than an hour, you have 2 hours in the morning (until 10am). We have to keep this moving and we need everyone checking every night and every morning if it's near their turn.
On weekends, we'll just go with a standard 6 hours with no morning/evening provision but let's try to keep things moving.
If there are problems in that you know your pick is coming up but you won't be online, submit a list either to myself or to a proxy drafter for you. Otherwise, you will get the next player on Yahoo's list. Maybe pick someone who is on the opposite end of the draft from you so that you likely won't be grabbing from the same pool of players anyways.
Opening Day is Apr 5th. If the draft is not complete by Thursday April 2nd at noon, we will have a quick live draft
via AIM to complete the draft on
Thursday April 2nd, starting at 7pm CT. Anyone who won't be able to make that will need to submit a list to me, a proxy, or have a proxy in chat (who is not in the league) to finish out their team.
If you miss more than 2 picks in the draft (i.e. time limit expired so a Yahoo rankings pick), particularly in the first 10 rounds, then you can be replaced as manager.
I hate to lay down some of these rules but we're going to be drafting over 250 players so we need to get it done in a timely fashion.
IF YOU CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THIS SCHEDULE, DO NOT JOIN.
