What day to draft???

Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :

How does this Sunday the 29th work for everyone?? Would Joe be able to be there as well? We could do it in the afternoon.

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

I could probably do it. Was thinking of heading to the St Croix and doing some Jetsking on Sunday but we need to do the draft soon.

I know Joe leaves on Sunday - but I am not sure when.

Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :

I thought he leaves early Monday morning?? It would be fun if he could be there this year!

Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :

I wouldn't be able to do it until at least 5pm on Sun. My other draft starts at noon.

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

That could be - I am not sure. I just know he will be in town through Saturday night at least.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

What about some night this week? Though, I can make sunday night if that's what it ends up as.

Posted by Trany (Member # 31) on :

I have tuesday and thursday nights off for a while, but I am working sundaynights. Tuesday or thursday would be ideal, or a 10 day time to get the night off of work.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

What is everyone's avaliability this thursday night?

Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :

I believe Scott is out of town this Thurs. What about next Tuesday night??

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Out of town.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

Next Tues is NOT good for me...

31st? Works for me...

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

Actually I forgot that I am racing next tues night and will not be avaliable at all. Next thrusday will work for me though.

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

Or tonight. [beer]

Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :

So, maybe this Sunday will work the best for the most people?? Sounds like Tranny is the only one who wouldn't be able to make it (if we did it around 5)??

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

I'm fine with sunday.

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Michelle offered to work for Tranny on Sunday night, when we saw him last night.

Posted by Trany (Member # 31) on :

I guess sunday it is. I will see donk before then I am guessing.

Posted by flamingoamyjo (Member # 93) on :

Cool. So Sunday at 5. Is your house ok Scott? Unless everyone wants to come out to Shakopee! [Big Grin]

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Sure. I will grab the projector from work again.

Posted by Trany (Member # 31) on :

Actually, I think I need to work [Frown]

, but if it is done online, I can preselect my draftboard. I just cant miss two shifts in a row. I have my other leagues draft on saturday. I'll figure it out by then. Brad if you can post a link or something.

Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :

The site is the same this year "rtsports.com". Account id is "toyota" again and the password is the same that you set up for your team last year. If you don't remember it, email me what you would like it to be and I can reset it. You can change the password again once you get into the site if you want.

Anyone new this year will need to tell me what they would like their team name to be and their temporary password. *MIKEY AND ERIC*

HAUSER is Barney playing again this year??

I pm'd you Brad.

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Will you be there on Sunday Boon?

Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :

Sure...

Anyone care to explain how a serpentine draft works?

Posted by Klaus (Member # 66) on :

Random selection of the order of picks - basically like picking cards to see where you sit while playing poker. Then the person with the #1 pick goes first followed by #2, etc..... After the last person picks the order is reversed. So it's like this....
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Posted by BoondockSaint (Member # 67) on :

Oh, I like that idea.

I thought we had a certain dollar amount and had to spend to get a player...

Posted by Hauserdaddy (Member # 50) on :

Boon, that is auction. Barney is playing and planning on coming down for the draft.

Posted by Mikey (Member # 42) on :

Could you please set my temp. password to "monkey". Thanks Brad

Done!!

Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :

I need everybody's current e-mail address also. You can post it here. Or in rtsports you can go under teams and enter it in under "modify information".

I set up new divisions (totally randomized). A double-header schedule has been created. If you go into Live Draft you will notice the "pick order". These will be changed, (there is a randomize button) at the time of the draft. There is no need to set-up a draft cheatsheet within rtsports. It typically is just easier to grab a magazine.

I changed some of the scoring.

1. Bonus points for milestone games are awarded 2 points instead of 3.
2. Interceptions thrown are now -2.
3. Interceptions caught are now 2.
4. Blocked PAT and blocked FG are now 2.

I also increased the roster to 16 players....should help with the bye weeks.

You can view all of the scoring rules under: League>Rules

Posted by Chadwick (Member # 45) on :

16!?!? [Eek!]

What was it last year Draft 14 +1 added a week or two into it?

Didn't you fight against adding the extra roster spot last year?

I dont exactly remember how many roster spots we had last year but it seemed like after adding the extra one that was perfect.

With 16 the free agents and waiver wire wont mean much.....everyone will just sit on all the running backs and quarter backs.

Posted by Crack_Dealer (Member # 68) on :

We added 2 more teams... that is 30 more players gone from the draft pool (using last years 15 roster spots). That makes the waiver wire even more important than before. About the only thing that will be left after the draft is pure junk. We should have more trading this year, due to the lack of quality players left. Hoarding players is part of a draft strategy. It helps if you actually use them as trade bait though.
