So, any idea on when we’re going to get this puppy off the ground. I ask because I’m supposed to meet a friend (who is in fact a co-owner of my cash fantasy team) to go for greasy food, beer and Matrix 2 in about an hour. Don’t want to miss the excitement. Maybe I’ll even predraft my first round or two if you think we’ll start today. ---

I’m in, whats the time line. The holiday weekend is appraoching, so it probably needs to get done before or after it. ---

Once it fills, it’ll start. Just a matter of gettin’ everyone’s attention. Who’s left? NurseCarmen, Hamlet, and a player to be named later? ---

OK, I’m signed up. Somebody give me some advice on this pre-drafting thing? How is that supposed to work? ---

Not Camel toes… I can see if we want to get Stitch (my coworker)back in this one. ---

Wilson, it just depends on how closely you will follow. If you’re willing to keep an eye out and check several times a day then predrafting is not neccesary. If you want to predraft, you can go in and make enough predraft selections to get you to your next pick – ex, if you have pick ten and we are on pick 4, if you predraft 6 people you are guaranteed (wosrt case scenario) to get the last person you predrafted. It will just make a pick for you, taking the highest rated availalble player that is left. If you figured out how to sign up, the predrafting should be easy. Let me know if it doesn’t make sense. ---

I can get **Camel Toes** in, but I’d rather see a doper play. **BabaBooey** , **Hamlet** , **NurseCarmen** , anybody? ---

This thing is seriously pissing me off. I can’t get logged in AND to the league’s page. It always says that I’m in as a guest on the team page… ---

Thanks for the explanation, **mouthbreather**. So if you predraft players for a round, that does not give you a chance to pick “live”? ---

**Wilson:** Only if you blow out your pre-draft before it is your turn. I use pre-draft if I think I might be out of pocket when my turn comes. ---

One more Q. I’m still unclear as to whether or not this going to be a live thing. If I predraft a bunch of players, will I still be able to watch the draft and make choices on the fly? ---
