Due to the hurricane I'm moving my Draft to this Friday Night at 10:00PM ET. This is just a pre-caution for those who were in my league and lost power and wouldn't be able to be near a computer.

Bummer. JO you need to stop getting me psyched. ER's draft is earlier that day as well.

See there is at least four of us. The four of us will probably be some of the most active anyways.

I hadn't even thought of that. That could be a problem.

Not really. ER's Draft is at 2PM ET according to what the Draft Countdown thing, and I set my draft to 10:00PM that evening, so no problem. No conflict there. i would say let's give it a shot at 11PM, which is 10 minutes but I don't think everyone is on and everyone has pretty much assumed no draft for tonight.

holler at me if you need a replacement

Hopefully we get it done relatively fast. I'm usually doing things at 9:00 (CST) on a Friday, but I can rearrange things for the draft. Assuming there isn't another reason to postpone the draft, it will be good to finally get this going.

I was going to just say the hell with it and find one more person, and do the Draft tonight but I think it's too late and everyone isn't on.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Hey ED20, I don't get off work friday until 5:00PM EST, so I won't be making the draft, sadly. I have my rankings set though. Just letting you know so you don't think I'm being a lazy owner

Ah. You're right.

Two drafts within 8 hours...should be fun.

Sorry to hear you can't make it man.

[gabefergy]

I probably wont be able to make the 2PM Friday draft either, I will try though. I'm working on setting my Rankings now to be safe. Having IDPs really adds an interesting wrinkle.

[JO_75]

Hey ER, maybe you should move your 2PM Draft so others have a chance to make it, say 6PM or 7PM so ATD and others can make it... 2 Drafts within 8 hours is fun but 2 Drafts within 3-4 Hours is better!

Also I'm moving the amount of teams to 14 teams. I gave Romo's spot away in the thinking that since Yahoo is usually a pain, it would not keep letting him in but it seems he still may be able to make it and I had another person Message me so that will fill out the 14 Team League for me.

Now I have to go and examine the demographics of 14-man drafts too? The obstacles in the way of domination keep piling up.

I"m guessing that ER has it so early due to the fact he's in England. 2pm draft here is a 7pm draft there. If its a 2 pm draft, I'll have to stay at work and finish it. If its at 3:15 or later, I can be at home since we have Summer hours on Friday.

Oh ok...

Well Romo is officially out. He's going to be out of town and since I filled his spot I've decided to go back to just 12 teams.... Friday Night at 10PM. Be Ready... I'm going to dominate this league because......... I'm AWWWWWESOMEEEEE!

[scrock]

Yea, there are quite a few BR forum leagues going right now (5-7). ER20, ROMOs, ATD are all in their second years.

I've already max'd out my BR leagues with 3. I think a few of us have already.

[scrock]

Well so far I have 5 ot 6 ppl interested but Im waiting on them to give me their emails to can i send them invitiations to join the league

You know I won't be giving it up without a fight. What's your team name this year? Are we even in the same division?

[XxSizzleXx]

I'm ' What just Happened' , cause that's what you will all be saying when I'm running away with it. /smack talk

Watch I'm going to just get annihilated haha.

[PuRock]

Draft in ER's league is in 2 hours and 30 minutes.

I'll be there but I might be cutting it close. But I will be there before the start. I'm leaving work early and will be driving home before we draft.

[PuRock]

It pisses me off how Yahoo doesn't see to allow you to choose two custom images for your team logos in two different leagues.

I change one, the other one changes as well. Has anybody been able to do this?

[JO_75]

Playing some Madden, and running Mock Drafts to kill time before ED's draft in two hours. I'm excited, and I can't wait.

Also to note, for my league, I made a Custom Draft Order that was pretty much pulled out of a hat, and the only difference is where Romo was drafting, I gave his spot to the one who took his spot. Everything else is pretty much the same. Here is the Draft Order for my League for tonight:

1. ATD
2. Best In The World
3. Da Nnamdi AwesomDogs
4. Purple Pain
5. Cold Blooded
6. PuRock's Disposables
7. Prestige World Wide
8. Leach Seed +5 HP
9. Flacco's Flicker
10. Big Ben's Nemesis
11. Mo' Better Tough
12. The Mod Squad

Also who here will take CJ now that he got his money and his holdout is over?

[JO_75]

I can already see us having issues trying to get into these drafts, just tried getting into a Mock Draft and it just locked up like usual and stopped loading. This might be the last year I use Yahoo for Fantasy Football because I'm sick of their slow servers, and trust me I know it's issues on their end because on ESPN I can get into Drafts fine, but Yahoo gives me the most trouble. Let's hope nobody misses ED's or mine draft due to Yahoo screwing up.

Edit: Of course, it lets me in while the Draft is going on and I miss my pick and it gave me Arian Foster who I didn't want.

I had that happen when I first tried using a mock draft with Yahoo. Just have to exit and reload till it happens. In all honesty it just isn't Yahoo with draft software issues this year.

People seem to be having difficulties on every software this year. On CBS where we pay $150 a year for our money league. They had many draft issues this year. Its very frustrating, especially when you pay money for the service.
