Cool, 7 people in!

sizemic1 · 08-07-2008, 12:48 AM

i'm back from my 2 year hiatus. Count me in

guiseppewv · 08-07-2008, 05:08 AM

I was wondering if you would join in this year. Happy to have you in the league!

Prngr44 · 08-11-2008, 11:22 AM

Finally in.

guiseppewv · 08-12-2008, 06:15 AM

Thanks for joining up! I haven't logged into my account in a few days but I think that is 8! Two more would be great but 8 is plenty to have a good league. This should be a fun season!

guiseppewv · 08-12-2008, 06:30 AM

I was wrong - we have 9 people. One more would make it an even 10. We need to decide if we are going to have the draft this weekend or during the week some other time. Please voice your opinion by Thursday night Pacific Time. If you want it during the week tell me what days work best for you and what time (please specify time zone) too! I'll try and map something out that fits all of our schedules.

Prngr44 · 08-12-2008, 07:34 AM

I'll likely be out of town so I'll try to set my list or just take a blind draw.

guiseppewv · 08-12-2008, 08:32 AM

You'll be out of town this weekend or from now until the draft? Suggest a few days - the worse that can happen is that you are still in the same situation that you have resigned yourself to already.

Weeknight drafts are much preferred to weekend (unless it's am, but I'm in CST so early for me is REALLY early for you guys.)

I'd be willing to stay up late-ish if we wanted to start at say 9p your time. That'd probably put me to bed around 1a or so.

guiseppewv · 08-12-2008, 04:13 PM

Actually, early for you is really late my time - I am in Japan.

How does everyone feel about an 8 pm EDT start time during a weekday? That would make it 5 pm PDT which might be cutting it a little close. We could do 9 pm EDT (6 PM PDT). Let me know - I need some input or I am just going to go with what works best for Prngr44 and I.

Also, I need to know what day of the week works best.

guiseppewv · 08-14-2008, 10:57 PM

It has been a few days with now response; does anyone have an opinion/preference?

guiseppewv · 08-16-2008, 09:02 AM

Is everyone a go for the draft? Speak now or forever hold your peace. The draft happens in just under 9 hours!

I'll be there. Looks like we still only have 9 though. Do we need to find one more before we have the draft?

guiseppewv · 08-16-2008, 05:27 PM

I can delay the draft for a week or so if we want to but I do not want to jerk everyone around. I think I would prefer to have 10 but I would also prefer that a few people weigh in on this before a change is made. (Sorry for the delayed response, it is only ~8:30 am here in Japan)

guiseppewv · 08-16-2008, 05:51 PM

Ok, I decided, without input, to delay the draft. I hope this does not irritate anyone. I moved the draft to Wednesday, Aug 27 at 6:30 pm PDT. There weren't a ton of slots open and I tried to make it work for everyone. Let me know if this time is not going to work for you and what times/dates would be better. Please remember that this draft is going to be a LIVE draft.

sizemic1 · 08-16-2008, 05:56 PM

WTF?! I wanted to draft today!!

j/k

Whatever works for everyone.

guiseppewv · 08-16-2008, 05:57 PM

Sizmic: Does the new time/date work for you?

sizemic1 · 08-16-2008, 06:01 PM

Yup, good enough

sizemic1 · 08-24-2008, 09:35 PM

We need one more person to sign up!

guiseppewv · 08-25-2008, 05:43 AM

I agree we need one more person!!!

VTGreg · 08-27-2008, 05:34 PM

Anyone know someone willing to fill the 10th spot? If we do end up with only 9, we need to make sure that stats count on bye weeks.

VTGreg · 08-27-2008, 07:05 PM

Hmmm.... Nevermind. Doesn't look like we can draft without 10. Can't believe we are having that hard of a time finding a 10th.

guiseppewv · 08-27-2008, 07:30 PM

I cannot believe it either. We have 24 more hours to find a 10th person.

I had to update the draft time/date because the Yahoo system keeps reverting to "autopick draft" from "Live draft". I think we all want a Live draft, so I had to delay the draft by 24 hrs in order to change the draft type. This is at least the 3rd time I have selected and submitted "Live draft" on the Yahoo system. Twice the system has reverted to autopick. I e-mailed Yahoo once to let them know their system is a little buggy.

I am 99% sure that we can draft without having a 10th person and the points earned for the week will be added into your season total but you will not receive a win for that week.

Edit: VTGreg - you are right. We cannot have a live draft unless we have a 10th person. Is there anyone who played last year who isn't in for this year? The system keeps switching the draft back to autopick because we do not have 10 people.

guiseppewv · 08-27-2008, 07:46 PM

I just PM'ed a few people who played G|A FF in the past and hopefully, one of them will sign up today.

guiseppewv · 08-27-2008, 08:10 PM

A request was posted to the FF site asking if we could push the draft time back to 10:15 pm EDT (7:15 pm PDT). How does everyone feel about this?

sizemic1 · 08-27-2008, 08:39 PM

I think a buddy of mine might fill up the last spot.

guiseppewv · 08-27-2008, 08:48 PM

That would be great!

Edit: I changed the draft time to 7:30 PM PDT (10:30 PM EDT) because a member of the league asked for the change to be made, so they could participate in the live draft.

Yossarian · 08-27-2008, 10:41 PM

someone owes me abottle of liquor for signing up......
