I actually liked the 25th for draft, tho 18th could work as well. Normally I just autodraft, but apparently I have to manually autodraft this time.

I really want everyone to make the draft. Is there not a way for you to try and put aside an hour and a half ?

Noted Chi, completely understandable. I just hope I can make the darn draft......August is crazy.

I think it’s a cool idea in some cases, and I’m open to any and all ideas, but a traditional live draft is just such an important part of the “experience” imho.  It’s exciting/ nerve-racking/ etc. A slow draft just kinda ruins that ya know.

Nice! Would be great to get two additional teams, which I'm sure we will.

Just throwing this out there, but these are the dates I can draft online, if we are talking early a.m. on a weekend USA time:
- Saturday 8/17
- Sunday 8/18
- Sunday 9/1
- Weekdays are more flexible (evenings or morning USA time)

Another thought is having a slow/snail draft that starts very soon now that we have enough teams. Say each team has 12 or 24 hours to select a pick, although you don't need to take the 12 or 24 hours. Once you select, the clock resets to the next team. Some teams may only take a few minutes, some may take the full 12 or 24 hours. That way, those of us that have job constraints, work events, family trips, sports, travels, time zone issues etc in the summer having flexibility of quickly logging on and selecting a pic during the course of the day. This also allows newbies to do plenty of research/time before selecting, so they don't feel pressured because of a time constraint. I have heard this works great for leagues, like ours, with teams all over the world.

Thoughts?

That’s interesting... idk if that’s possible on yahoo, and I’m not sure what would happen if you login to the live draft and then we’re to be logged off if you step away from the computer for a prolonged amount of time
I think we have a few options for a slow draft:

- We use the chat board on the yahoo website and do it manually. This will put a bit of heavy lifting on Chi to update picks and reset timer, but also allows for plenty of time.

- RTsports.com offers it, and you get notifications! They charge about $90 for a league. We could use one team's entry fee for the cost?
If the league is designated to have a "slow" draft, each team will have between 2 and 8 hours to draft a player and the clock will be paused every night from 2:00 am ET until 8:00 am ET. In addition, notifications (email, text, app push) will be sent to all team owners after each pick (this can be adjusted by team owners so they only receive notification when they are up). The expanded pick time in a "slow" draft is intended to be a fail-safe to keep the draft going in case an owner can't get to their computer or forgets about the draft, etc. RealTime Fantasy Sports reserves the right to reduce the draft time for each team in the final week before the start of the first game of the season.

- We just pick a date/time that works for everyone for a live draft  Grin

I appreciate the idea, but I'm 100% completely against a slow draft.  They aren't fun, they take way too much time, and finding a time for 10-12 people to draft for an hour and half isn't that difficult really.

I have seen drafts done like this before. I am not sure if it's available on yahoo or not, while I certainly appreciate the idea...I plan to keep this a traditional draft. It's more fun like that as well.  Also makes sure you've done your homework in time for draft day!

I know my wife wants to play too, forgot about saying that. I’ll be paying for both her and I probably later tonight Smiley

Sounds good! I know I ticked her off last year beating her at some point, I plan to do the same again this year  Grin

Hehe, maybe if I show her that it’ll be the final straw and will force her to make a btctalk account so she can defend herself. Chivalry is dead when it comes to fantasy football Wink

0.01 BTC sent in tx df85a359a56df91f2380488c83de2ebe75e8dc1221ae9f050366b238af8abc5c

Thanks !

I will figure it out and make it work.  I wanted to get in last year and missed it.  Cant wait

I'd say cut it at 12 though.  14 is too much imo but I'm in either way


I would prefer 12 as well, I’ll cut it off there (Unless there ends up being a huge push for 14- which I doubt).
