I know we are a couple weeks out yet but with so many new faces, I want to make sure teams are getting properly prepared for the draft.
As a reminder our draft is Saturday June 20 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/showthread.php?t=147109 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. Teams should be able to make their picks generally within about 60 seconds. That is quick - but there really is no excuse for not being able to do that. 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. Your pick will get deferred to the end of the round if you take too long.
- 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 the chatroom. Trades should still be processed as normal
VERY IMPORTANT:
- We will use the Calgarypuck chatroom during the draft:
http://forum.calgarypuck.com/chat/flashchat.php.
- I will also be on Kakotalk. If you aren't on that, then make sure you are in the chatroom. I need to be able to get ahold of GMs and vice versa.
The main thing is prepare and give the draft your focus during these 2-3 hours. This ensures it moves along and everyone enjoys it.
