ACGM Fantasy Football League: Draft Time Change

8
Vote

Hey everyone. Many people have been complaining about the draft time of our league (I agree, I picked a bad date, and I apologize) but a new option allows me to change the date of the draft. If you guys will be so kind enough as to suggest new times for the draft, I will set up a comment score card and the user with the highest amount of votes will have his suggested time as the new time of the draft. Some things to consider:

  • Week 1 of the preaseason begins Thursday, Aug. 10
  • We all live around different parts, so it is nearly impossible to satisfy everyone with a good time
  • If no one can agree on a time, then we can do an autopick draft, which has such advantages as: Teams are pretty much even with talent; there is no waiting for teams to choose players; and you can set up a list of players you would like to draft, and the computer will try to satisfy your list. It's up to you guys.
  • The first game of the regular season begins September 7th
  • Other Important Dates Can Be Found Here

Take Care All.

Sometime during the day when I'm at work so that I can slack for a little bit. I know I'm going to need a break from all the crap I have going on that week.

everyone lets all decide on a time and date that could be decent for majority of the managers. i DON'T want to do an autopick draft i hate autopick i would rather make my player decisions live so when i suck i can blame myself.

so to start since i am currently between jobs and draft time or day is good for me.

not many have the luxury to say that so i am one manager who has no preference.

It would help if it could be done so it ends at the latest of 9pm (BST) whenever it is (about 4pm EST), that way I can actually do the thing! I guess the whole thing will take about three hours (?), so if it started at about 12pm EST, it would be ideal. This helps Corey slack at work, I guess.

Why not do a draft here? The wiki can handle it, and we can take a week if we want. It'd also allow for mid-draft trades.

It'll also allow for me not reliably being able to access the site, and I wouldn't have to get up at 2am to do it. I think that is comfortably the best idea.

And I wouldn't have to be drafting from work, which I probably can't.

So, I presume, we do the draft whenever we feel, and then just get the League Admin to pick the draft for us just before the season starts?

The commish would enter the results in, I guess.

Gators i am not sure if you have done the commish thing before but i think that may be alot to do. i am in a 20 team CBS baseball league and there is SO much the commish has to do to keep it running smoothe that it is almost like a 2nd job for him.if you are up to it then i say more power to you.

i just think a live draft run clean by the Yahoo sports would be crisp,clean and no issues. what if someone draft a player in the 3rd round who was already taken in the 1st round?? you know somehow,someway,someone will screw up.

I vote live draft on yahoo to keep confusion to a bare minimum and any time and date is good for me.

"drafto" should read "draft on"

Okay. I've been the commish before and I can proudly say that the league was a great one, and they loved my "week in review" column. I agree that a live draft is better, but whatever you guys want is cool with me

I would much rather do a live draft than drag it out over a week or more. It could end up not getting done. If I can't be at the live draft, so be it. Really any time but Friday night or any time on Sunday works for me.

One of the big drawbacks to the weeklong draft is what if a player gets injured/arrested/cut between two days of picks? It will be more beneficial to wait as long as possible to makes picks.
