I think the All Pro addiction went pretty well last night. No real issues. ---

The draft is in less than 24 hours. I expect everyone to attend. If there’s any chance you might miss at all, pre-rank some of your players the way I suggested in post #38. ---

How long should the draft last? I’ll be doing it from my office, which is on the far side of town from my house… ---

This draft can last up to 3 hours. Lots of people and lots of picks. ---

If you spend a majority of your budget early, you will sit around for an hour waiting for players you can afford. ---

There you go. Bid a total of $180 for your first two players, then you can drive home. ---

There’s also no need to start the bidding at $1 for players who are going for double digits. Anything that can shave time is welcome. Throw out a D/ST if you don’t have anyone in your queue to nominate, they’re all going to be owned in this format. ---

We draft in less than an hour. If there’s interest in having voice chat during the draft we could do a skype group call. ---

According to the countdown, it looks like the draft starts at 7:15 instead of 7:30 ---

Correct, that’s been the draft time from the start. ---

Somehow autodraft failed to get me a kicker. I didn’t know that was possible. ---

Oak - apologies for not mentioning that you could have gone home once you drafted your team! You were the first one done, and it sounds like it meant a late night at the office. ---

So I fucked up. I forgot divisions aren’t re-created based on last year, but rather they’re just random or based on order people joined the league or something. I forgot to manually re-create our divisions before the first game was played yesterday, and now it appears that they can’t be rearranged, or turned off for that matter. Perhaps if I were to set the start of scoring as week 2, I could re-arrange the divisions, and then set it back to starting week one. But I don’t know - perhaps once it’s set as two, you can’t go back. I’d risk losing the results from last night, which I’m sure would grumpify people who had players with good games yesterday. Or we can just continue with our random divisions. ---

Well if anyone else wants a draft do-over and we can just start the whole league in Week 2, that would be a-ok with me. :rolleyes: ---

I would prefer we just go with the current divisions rather than punting a week. ---
