Building a better Fantasy Baseball League - Keeper Rule VOTE and Draft Date

Toddzilla · 03-24-2011, 10:15 AM

Please vote one how to handle keepers and also post when you want the draft to be. Also include any times it would be impossible for you to draft. I'm aftraid we may not be able to get everyone accomodated, but we'll try our best, even if it means drafting a day or 2 into the season.

Toddzilla · 03-24-2011, 10:18 AM

I can draft anytime except 8AM-2PM Sunday March 27.

Suicane75 · 03-24-2011, 10:39 AM

I can draft anytime except Sunday March 27th 4-9pm est and Sunday April 3rd between 7-12pm est.

stevew · 03-24-2011, 12:26 PM

I can only draft on Sunday March 27, alll day. Saturday, would have to start before 3pm(have to be at work at 5pm), during the week I'm free from 2-6pm.

Danny · 03-24-2011, 12:40 PM

Anytime this weekend is fine for me. During the week anytime after 7PM eastern

stevew · 03-24-2011, 02:01 PM

If we're going auction draft, it starts on the hour every hour until 11pm

cmgdodgers · 03-24-2011, 02:58 PM

I'm good anytime this weekend but will be totally unavailable the following weekend (4/1-4/3).

Danny · 03-24-2011, 03:35 PM

Anytime next weekend would be fine as well.

PackerFanatic · 03-24-2011, 03:49 PM

Any week night next week after 8PM CST works for me, or late on Sunday (3/27)

Chief Rum · 03-24-2011, 05:57 PM

I should be able to go this weekend. Saturday is better than Sunday.

terpkristin · 03-24-2011, 05:58 PM

I'm good all weekend. But I go to bed early...no later than 10P eastern time.

Mustang · 03-25-2011, 07:14 AM

I can't do this weekend, the 28th or 4/1.

Toddzilla · 03-25-2011, 07:35 AM

This weekend and next weekend look to be out. Gotta do this during the week unfortunately.

Toddzilla · 03-25-2011, 07:37 AM

Also, since it looks like the "set number of keepers" is the choice, I need you to post in this thread how many keepers everyone must choose.

Toddzilla · 03-25-2011, 09:43 AM

we can also draft here on FOFC, like other leagues have. Would take about a week but at least we wouldn't have to worry about availability. We'd have to institute some kind of availabilty rules - i.e. max 2 hours between picks during the day - and while that may result in some autopicks for some teams, we wouldn't do that for the first 10 or so rounds and it would only mean you may get one or two players auto-drafted for you max rather than your whole team.

PackerFanatic · 03-25-2011, 09:55 AM

Being a rotisserie league, I think it will be easier to start mid-way through the first month if we do it that way.

Danny · 03-25-2011, 10:02 AM

Just as a guide rhough FOFC hardcore draft will probably finish after about three weeks. I rthink a week is not possible, especially with minor leaguers

Oilers9911 · 03-25-2011, 10:12 AM

I can draft anytime Saturday or Sunday night.

The minor league draft can wait. We could hold it mid-season like the actual amateur draft if we had to.

Johnny93g · 03-25-2011, 10:59 AM

I'd vote for a forum draft, as I can't pinpoint any time where i have a few hours to sit down and pound this thing out.

Toddzilla · 03-25-2011, 11:39 AM

The other alternative is to pick a date and live with the fact that some people will be in auto-draft hell

stevew · 03-25-2011, 11:51 AM

I'm going to have to bow out if we can't use the weekend to draft. Absolutely don't want an auto draft team.

Such is the suck of working 2nd shift with no readily available substitutes.

Danny · 03-25-2011, 11:57 AM

I think its best to pick a date that works for most and then others can set lists or find replacements. No time is going to work for everyone at this late point.

Toddzilla · 03-25-2011, 12:15 PM

OK - gotta make an executive decision

Draft is going to be Saturday April 2 or Sunday April 3, the later the better.

If this is a problem, after 9PM during the week will have to do.

If all of these are out, either we do a forum draft, we accept some people get auto-drafted, or we go 2 weeks into the season.

stevew · 03-25-2011, 12:18 PM

If the Espn draft works with iPhone, I'm a ton more flexible.

Suicane75 · 03-25-2011, 12:18 PM

Slumber party draft!!

Glengoyne · 03-25-2011, 06:10 PM

If this weekend is out, then next will do. Sunday is my preference...after Church is better, so 1 PM Pacific time. It will be my week out of the Audio/Video cycle, so I can go heathen if need be.

terpkristin · 03-25-2011, 06:13 PM

Weekend is OK for me. If it ends up during week after 9 PM, I'll auto-draft. Forum draft will be iffy for me, due to weekday access.

All that said, auto-draft may be my best bet given how little I know about WTF I'm doing.
