> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Hamlet’s submission list actually didn’t resolve the tie issue, but I had forgotten that one of the tied players (Munch) was an original invitee to this league last year but couldn’t make the draft. So that seems like a reasonable tiebreaker. Anyway, Munch is in, so we should be full up. Or… at least when Omni joins. He submitted a list and I’m pretty sure he intends to play, but he hasn’t actually signed up for the league yet. Could you resend the invite? Seems a bunch went MIA for me this year. ---

I don’t think I have an invite either. ---

We’re full up, so that’s good. I know no one has responded to my idea about a late draft positively, but I just may not be able to work it in any earlier. So I figured we could turn that into a positive and have different knowledge/strategies for a post-week-1-draft. I actually think it’s a pretty good idea - we’re all drafting 2+ leagues this year - this one is meant to be different, and how the draft values quickly change after shit hits the fan would do more to differentiate this league from others. ---

Missing the first week isn’t a real big deal to me. Yes, it would it be ideal to get the draft in prior, but shit happens. ---

I’m starting (finally) to prepare for this draft. I see it’s a deep roster, lots of starters, and two QB. Should be an interesting change from my norm. The draft order is set right before the draft, correct? And I can start up to 3 QB’s if I include the QB in the flex spot, correct? This should be very intriguing. I think I need to get a bit more work done. And I would despise being relegated. ---

3 QBs including flex slot, yes. I’m just not going to be able to find a reliable time to draft before week 1 that wouldn’t run up against existing drafts. How does Tuesday the 11th work for you guys? Maybe 9pm-ish eastern. ---

What’s wrong with the current time? Yeah, it’s an hour before the big league’s draft, but with 6 owners, it should be done in plenty of time (even with the expanded rosters). ---
**Author:** ![SenorBeef](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/senorbeef/32/2220_2.png) [@SenorBeef](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/SenorBeef)\ **Post date:** [August 30, 2012, 11:21pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-ff-super-league-of-doom-2012/629581/29 "2012-08-30T23:21:36Z")
It’s going to last longer than an hour because while we only have 6 owners we draft double sized rosters, so it’ll still last as long as a typical draft. Or less I guess since most of us are fairly quick and decisive, but I’d hate to run it against another draft. Plus I think post week 1 drafting would be interesting anyway. We’re all gonna be drafting 2-5 other leagues with the same knowledge, why not have one that requires a strategy adjustment based on seeing what happens when shit hits the fan for real? I think it’d be interesting. We could move it up an hour to better accomodate 2 drafts in the same day I suppose, but that’s a lot of drafting in one go (the big league can easily last 3 hours) and as I said I’d actually prefer to have one more twist to further differentiate my leagues. ---

Yeah, sorry guys. I reserved a provisional slot tomorrow, but I’m just not going to be able to make it. I set up a fall back time of 6:30pm on Tuesday the 11th. Again, I think there’s an upside - week 1 will be more interesting for fantasy research, and your draft strategy will have to adapt. ---

I likely have some family obligations to take care of tonight, and I have no problem drafting next week and missing a week. I just need to know one way or the other. ---

I’d prefer next Wednesday, as I typically have a standing engagement on Tuesday nights, and I’ve had to skip out on it the last several weeks. ---

Draft is tomorrow at 9:30 eastern. We have a small and intimate draft - we should really have all 6 people on [voice chat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15438549&postcount=18).
