Draft prep and instructions

[JiriHrdina]

Folks the CPHL draft is coming up on us - this coming Saturday at 10 am Calgary time.

Here are some things to do to get ready, and to prepare on the actual day of

- Please review this thread http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...ighlight=draft for overagers that teams already own. Overagers are not eligible in our draft
- If you are not going to make the draft, make sure you find someone to pick for you. The league will not do it for you. If someone is drafting for you post that info in this thread
- Make sure you have your list together and are following along during the draft. We will be more forgiving this year since we have cases where GMs have consecutive picks - which makes it tougher to keep track of things. I will warn you if you are taking too long. If you need more time COMMUNICATE with me. If you go silent or don't respond to me - that's when I will skip you.
- If you make an error and pick a guy already picked - that's ok - mistakes happen. If it continues to happen from the same GM, we will again move your picks to the end of the round.
- You will make your picks in a dedicated thread - post the pick number and the player you are picking
- If a trade happens during the draft let me know via google chat

VERY IMPORTANT:
- Make sure you have me on your Gtalk list and can see me. If you can't - you need to add me before the draft.

Questions?

Haha, do I really have to add you? I don't like talking to you!

[btimbit]

Gtalk hasn't worked for me in months. Either way, I'll be at work that day so made sure to trade all my picks away.

[TurdFerguson]

Good luck to the GMs participating in this years draft, all 3 of you.

[DFO]

So I can no longer take part in the draft - off on a last minute trip of my wife's doing. Is another GM taking part in all 5 rounds able to make 11 picks? I know it's a big ask. I have a list for the best player available (I will share the list/package I paid for).

update - Caged Great has offered to draft for the Rangers

[flamesfan6]

I won't be able to make it on Saturday.

Pacem will be drafting for the Wings. Thanks

[Caged Great]

37 hours till the fun begins

[MJK]

I'm gonna win!

[KevanGuy]

G-Unit is drafting for the Bruins.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Ducks will try to be at the draft but in the event something comes up and we can't, we have sent a list to Philly who can make our 2 picks for us. Looking forward to draft day!

I feel I've tried adding you a hundred times already what's your Gtalk handle again?

are we having a chat somewhere like last year too?

[dsavillian]

Pinging Grant on GTalk - want to confirm that you are on my list.

You didn't switch to a different account, did you?

Patrick SwayZe has my picks (only two in round 1).

I work today so I will make the picks if I can. If not pat has a list. I will message him if I will make the next pick myself.

First CPHL in about 5 years for me. Looking forward to seeing the awesome future all stars I pick.

[JiriHrdina]

If someone wants to start up a chat that always works too - can we do that in gtalk?

Will be online shortly. Have only used Gtalk once back in Feb, so I'll be a few minutes figuring things out.

[Flickered Flame]

My first year or 2, we used messenger to actually make our picks. It was way better than using the message board.
