In the interests of saving time it will be 20 rounds (12F 6D 2G) or if someone wants to turn this into some kind of league or sim or whatever they can with a 23 round draft, just let me know what is wanted. We could either do it with multiple rounds a day for a week or so, or a round a day for 20 days taking us to the start of the season
I'll help out as much as needed, I would love to turn this into some sort of season if someone has the know how to do that.

And I can help in whatever is needed, but just 30 people sending in 30 lists sounds pretty boring

I would say lets do 10 rounds in a session, as long as we can get everyone to agree on one time to be online, do your homework and it'll go fast

Why don't we, instead of planning this for weeks ahead, check and see if something like this sunday, say 8pm to 11pm would work for everyone.

If we can get at least say 24 out of 30 to agree, then we can plan accordingly for the other 6.

Again, if we do our homework and it's online, it will go fast.

I think it's better then waiting for everyone once a day, what if say I'm third to pick that day and I work late and can't make it on here till 8:30pm (just as an example)

Lets see if we can get a majority like i said (at least 24) to agree to a time and then see where we want to go with this. ( I don't know how sims work or anything like that but I'm all ears)

When we did drafts for other things a while ago we had a slotted time for everyone to draft. If they couldnt make it they could PM their picks to the commissioner (which you Cheerio automatically volunteer for by starting the thread ).

Or get GirlySports to run things. Shes the draft queen.

Okay, I will start a spreadsheet of available times by person and we will go with the day and times that fit into most peoples, then we will get a list submitted by the other players if they still want to be part of a season or we will set up another thread asking for people who want to be involved and if they are available at that time.

Wow, this turns into a lot of work real quick.

The earlier this draft gets done, the better for me. After September 12th I'm going to be extremely busy as I'm in 2nd year university. If we could get all 20 rounds done before this time then that'd be great.

If I ran this draft you'd be finished in 2013.

Unrelated: I'm actually planning a hockey-based game to be unveiled soon that I hope you all like

I miss the drafts of the off-topic forum. As soon as they got sub forum'd they died.

Just start the picking (12 hour limit, the slow boring off-season still has some time), if someone misses their pick once, warn them, second time replace them.

I say DFO is up, his time starts tomorrow morning at 6 am to 6 pm.

Should we random generate or use current standings?

Current standings, that's why we picked teams.
Snake (or serpentine) order.
