The real kicker is that when I went and tried to mess with commissioner settings, it said I couldn't because the league was in draft mode.

My guess is it'll kick in at 12:01 AM or something when we're all gone, and everything will get auto-picked.
Well, if you setup another league or get another time, I'll still be there if I can make it. |

Well it hasn't started Auto-drafting yet, and I'm sure the time would've been passed for a couple teams already. My guess is the servers shitted out, and who knows- maybe the link will pop up shortly and it'll be an hour behind, sort of like Hattrick used to do

I predict it will autodraft Michael Vick for me.

It looks like the draft order was set - Grand Rapids has the #1 pick.

I found a different one:
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question...5084235AAgGyPU That said, at this point, I'm pretty sure it's not going to work since we've waited 30 minutes. I'm going to create a new league for next week, I guess. I tried to create one but it won't let me change the draft time at all right now so I think their servers are just completely hosed. SI

I was in a league that was supposed to draft tonight as well. Same shit for me. I was about to make a post on here for people to let them know that Yahoo sucks. I did the yahoo answers thing, and apparently it's been going on for several days for all kinds of leagues.

That stinks, tho. I'm sure someone in this league has a life and might be doing stuff over Labor Day next weekend (I won't; my biggest plans right now are for doing laundry but that's not the point...). But keep that in mind- next weekend is Labor Day.

Oh well, that was fun :sigh:
If I hear something back from Yahoo, it will probably be something about how "oops, we screwed up" but it's not as if there's anything that can be done now. Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel. I think I'm off to go play some Guitar Hero. SI

The draft will be sometime between 7 and 8 CT next Saturday night. It's currently set for 7:30 but I'm going to try and set it back to 7:15 to avoid some of the 7:30 traffic. SI

We'll get the "sorry for the inconvenience" crap from Yahoo.
They should turn every draft that got gutted into a free Yahoo Plus league, with the live stats, etc. |

Hello rocket34,
Unfortunately, due to server problems, your draft was not able to be run as scheduled. Since we know how important participating in a live draft can be, and how many users can only do that on a specific day at a specific time, we felt it important to try and accommodate those preferences. So, rather than having your league Autopicked, we left it undrafted and set up a new live draft for Sep 1 17:30. If you are in a Public League and can not participate at this new time, you can simply remove yourself from the league and join a new one that is holding its draft at a more convenient time. If you are in an Custom League, your League Commissioner can change the draft time via the Commissioner Tools accessible from your League Overview page. We have fixed the issues that caused the problems and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you. Thanks and good luck in the upcoming season. --Fantasy Football Commissioner http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1

So, they rescheduled the old league for Sept 1 at 17:30 (PT), I backed it up to 7:15 CT. So, we'll just stick with the original league for now

Hopefully anyone who doesn't want to participate anymore with the draft being scheduled labor day weekend will manually take their team out of the old league.
That's the only concern I have about keeping the old league - we might have a bunch of dead teams who won't check this thread again. |

That's a good point. Roll call for teams still in the league- everyone post if they plan on still being in with their team name.
Houston Hippos are, of course, still in. I also talked with the Vegas Golden Aces and he's able to draft next week. SI

Gold and Masked are the only two who haven't checked in at this point. I figure they have until Tuesday-ish and then we'll open it up to new people but I'll PM them before then so they have a good shot.

Also, I dissolved the new league I created last night so hopefully this one works next week. Otherwise, I'm really tempted to say we should just have a live draft in a chat like IRC or AIM at the time and get lists for anyone who can't be there emailed to me or a neutral 3rd party in advance.

And the response to my inquiry last night:
Hello, Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Sports. I appreciate your inquiry with regards to your live draft issues. Unfortunately, due to server problems, it is possible that your draft was not able to be run as scheduled. Since we know how important participating in a live draft can be, and how many users can only do that on a specific day at a specific time, we felt it important to try and accommodate those preferences. So, rather than having your league auto-picked, we left it undrafted and set up a new live draft for exactly one week from the time of your original draft. If you are in a Public League and can not participate at this new time, you can simply remove yourself from the league and join a new one that is holding its draft at a more convenient time. If you are in a Custom League, your League Commissioner can change the draft time via the Commissioner Tools accessible via your League Overview page. We have fixed the issues that caused these errors and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you. Please feel free to email me again with any further comments or questions. Thanks, and good luck in the upcoming season. Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Sports. Regards, Morris Yahoo! Customer Care

It wouldn't hurt to have a backup plan - I've read some things online that this may have been an issue for Yahoo for a week now. Either via chat or the message board, or some other website that handles drafts only, on-demand - there's probably some free fantasy software somewhere that could help you manage it easily.

Frankly, I'd probably just dig up my old fantasy spreadsheet that I used for some baseball drafts and find a chat medium that everyone can use. Hell, I have Trillian so I could have everyone on different chat mediums and relay the picks but that would take some doing.

Have another Yahoo draft in 20 minutes and have been able to get into the draft room (links on the league and team page). So it is working

gold101 hasn't answered at all and has been PM'd and mentioned in this thread so we're going to need another team.
So, first team who wants to join is in as there is 1 open spot. Reminder: draft is tomorrow night @ 7:15 CT, either be there or make your list before then and remember the league settings. SI

really looking forward to this- just did another league with a bunch of friends around here, and it was the same ole take all the RBs first, then worry about everything else (which can be fun for some, but I like a much more mixed and deeper scoring system)
