I'm skeptical that we could get that done in time for Wednesday. We do an asynchronous draft for the fantasy baseball and it takes like three weeks.

Well, very few have responded to me. Mark is in Ames until Sunday night. Several aren't available Sunday. Monday is labor day.
At this point, a Tuesday evening draft looks like our best bet. Should I just set it at that and go? NFL kicks off the next night.

A draft before game day would be best. Monday or Tuesday should work for me.

I set it for Tuesday night at 7. I emailed everyone.

Posted this on the league board, but I'm wondering if there was a way to push it back to a tad later in the evening.

What time is the draft? I got two emails with two different times. League email says 5:15 and the email from Chad says 7:00.

Hope it is 7. The earliest I would be home is 5:30.

Ugh. It WAS 7. Yahoo is now informing me the latest it can be is 515.
I'm currently in email with them trying to change it. But yes, it was originally 7.

well yahoo is saying 5:15 is now the latest for draft tonight. On the yahoo help boards there's a lot of other people complaining too.
It looks like our only option at this point is to draft somewhere else, probably here at 7, and then I'll enter the results. It's going to suck doing it this way, but whatever. Unless anyone knows of any chat rooms we can go to. What does everything think the best way to do this outside of yahoo?

The problem with doing it here is that if someone is absent they won't get a team, whereas with yahoo at least the auto-draft will work for absent people.
I may be absent at 5:15 and/or 7:00.

We could just run auto-draft for everyone and make it challenging/interesting! Or not.

Well, I pre-ranked my players, and I can try to make it. We'll see.

At this point I probably look like Bud Selig to the new guys.
Pre-ranking is the way to go at this point. Those who can make it, make it. If it's just me there, I'll probably just let it auto draft for me. It might be too much of an advantage to be able to personally select. I don't know, we'll see. The good news is so many rosters are completely changed by week 6, so it's not like we're stuck with these players.
I'll send an email. Those who can make it, make it.

I tried to make the scoring as close to DVR as possible. There are changes to how the defense can score points, because I despise only yards and points allowed. But if people don't want points for sacks and blocked kicks, etc, I'll change it to just how we used to do it, no matter how much that sucked. Of course, if no one wants a defense... Also, if you want a flex position, let me know. If anyone wants to be commissioner instead, let me know. Just saying...
