I think this approach will work fine over the next week or two. Most of us have blackberries (or other smart phones) and internet access at home and at the office . As long as every participant checks Calgarypuck two or three times a day they will see that their turn is approaching and "govern themselves accordingly", no? I recognize that some participants may have less access to the internet than others (depending on their job etc.), but perhaps those participants who have less access to the internet can make an extra effort to check Calgarypuck as often as is practicable for the next two (or even three/four) weeks?

I would suggest that Cheerio [Colorado Avalanche] just go ahead and pick next in this thread (as soon as he or she has the opportunity).

Perhaps it would also make sense for everyone to announce their draft pick as follows:

Quote:
1st pick, 1st round, for Oilers: Sidney Crosby;
Next pick: Cheerio for Avalanche.
It might make it easier to record (although I suppose everyone should keep track of the draft picks for their own tream) and easier for people checking in on the thread to recognize when their turn is approaching.

I just offer this as a suggestion.

If you aren't able to make your pick and you are 1-10 you will PM your list to me

If you aren't able to make your pick and you are 11-20 you will PM your pick to PlayfulGenius

If you aren't able to make your pick and you're 21-30 you will PM your pick to MrMike

If PlayfulGenius/MrMike are unable to do this, let me know

Also tomorrow is moving day for me, so by Sunday I will have a draft board up with every team in the original post

Sent my 3 choices for my first rounder onward to MrMike. I will try and check in as much as possible today but I won't be able to make the draft until sometime in the afternoon.

Are we just drafting any 12F or are we drafting 4c, 4lw, 4rw? Oh and what's the cap at?

It might be helpful to put the Cap hit of the player in the post as well, when making a selection.

The idea is to select an NHL roster, so I recommend trying to have every position filled.

The first post needs to get an update with who's been picked and who's on the clock.

Cheerio mentioned he'll do that after the weekend as he's moving or something.

So far taken : Crosby, Ovechkin and Toews.

Islanders are on the clock.

I've already spent significant time planning a budget for each roster spot and what type of player to choose... Ugh, I need a life.

Are OTT, WPG and CBJ ready to go once the NYI pick is made?

I received a list from CGY, so that's good, but they're not til #13.
