So the draft is going right?

I hope every is checking, I can't tell who is "on the clock."

Cheerio · 09-02-2009, 04:48 PM

WTF it is???

Gozer · 09-02-2009, 05:13 PM

Yeah, there is one player (Peyton) off the board so the draft has started, can't tell who's up next though.

Let's get rolling on this guys - this draft is going to take a week even if we get multiple picks a day.

Braintrust, how many rounds are we drafting? Surely we don't need to wait for backup o-lineman and stuff - 25 rounds/players maybe?

I started the draft to see if I could see the pick line-up, but it didn't show me it, and then Peyton got picked so I stopped it. I saw it once before, but I can't find out how to get it again. Anyway, the draft is super quick, like 5 minute rounds. That is why I say we should have everyone on at the same time. And I believe there is 53 rounds or something. The rounds don't wait for the next person, if the timelimit is done (30 seconds to 5 minutes) then the next person picks. And since half are the computer, it goes by super quick.

Ok, so whats the plan?

Set a night for the draft - like Wednesday at 7pm and whoever is online drafts their guys and offline/computer teams get auto-drafted?

If this league isn't going to get off the ground then I'm going to join another.

Yeah, I want to get it started as well. I'm off to work now, I will post back in an hour and set a date.

So like Gozer was saying. Wednesday at around 7-7:30PM MTN time, sound good? Or is Sunday better?

rubecube · 09-04-2009, 02:43 PM

Wednesday works for me.

chowdachad · 09-04-2009, 03:50 PM

can't do wednesday but do we really need a fantasy draft?

I put it in the settings, so I would need to start a new one. Most of us wanted a fantasy draft.

I'll try and send a message to everyone in the league, or people who haven't signed up yet, to remind them.

dustyanddaflames · 09-06-2009, 07:20 PM

Im good for wednesday too...

Swayze11 · 09-06-2009, 07:41 PM

im good for wednesday

Cheerio · 09-06-2009, 07:41 PM

I'm good for Wednesday... I think.

3 Justin 3 · 09-06-2009, 07:50 PM

Ok, Wednesday it is.

For those who can't attend, your team will be computer-drafted I believe, so you'll have a good team.

It will start around 6:30-7:00 PM MTN time.

3 Justin 3 · 09-09-2009, 12:13 AM

So we're doing the draft later tonight. I hope everyone joined the league already. As I saw it the other day we had 11 people I believe. I'll try and send messages to everyone on xbox live and try and find peoples xbox live gamertags on CP who haven't signed up, and message them/pm them here.

Edit: Ok, so I emailed those who haven't been on CP in a few days, and I think I pm'd everyone who wanted to play, and sent messages on xbox live as well. Hopefully that should be enough!

Gozer · 09-09-2009, 11:01 AM

Can I join the draft in progress?

I probably won't be home 'till 7:30, will I be able to just jump in to the 5th or 10th round or whatever?

Gozer · 09-09-2009, 11:05 AM

I opened a "discussion" thread, so people that aren't on CP often can check this thread for important announcements.

3 Justin 3 · 09-09-2009, 11:49 AM

Well hopefully everyone got at least 1 of my messages. I sent everyone on here a PM, and I think everyone a message on Xbox Live. I also messaged the people who hadn't yet signed up to the franchise. Hopefully all goes well. 7.5 hours to go 'til the draft.

Swayze11 · 09-09-2009, 04:06 PM

quick question - Is there a salary cap for this?
