Presumably doesn't suit the commissioner. In fairness there's not many perks to being commish, the least would be to make sure that whenever the draft is, it suits him? To be honest, none of the times suit me, but them's the breaks.

Fair enough, do the three who voted for friday know that the multi vote is now available (it had been just single vote) or is that the only time they can make?

Guys I excluded Saturday for same reason I did not add options of 6pm & 8pm, I did not want to many options and winning draft date/time option was with 2/3 votes. If I recall from past few years we typically go with Tuesday Evening before Thursday KO.

Saturday 3-Sept is also the Collage Football game in Dublin, Boston Collage vs Georgia Tech

I'm on holidays so I didn't vote.

Question.

Just as there is a high chance that possibly a good chunk of the 16 will be set to auto draft. Can we make the pick time less than 2 minutes

I drafted a 8 man league and it was 1 minute picks and it was done in 40 mins. As opposed to half the night...

Just a thought

TOss Sweep

The draft pick time is defaulted to 90 seconds as far as I know on NFL.com. But the thing is if there is a lot of autos the 1st round will be slow but every other round will move a lot quicker as the auto picks either right away or after 10 seconds.

BKWDR

I will probably go auto after midnight so...

It has never taken 3 hours though?

Like TO said, if anyone doesn't show their first round pick will last the full time but after that it will be auto-pick for them.

Yeah I know it's basically an all evening affair but personally I like the longer time, at least for the first few rounds, gives you an idea of how it's progressing............until someone picks a kicker in the 5th round and sends it haywire

Draft Day, Pool closed. Tuesday @ 9pm was the winner (12/16) managers had voted.

Got the email Keith ðŸ‘

Yah first to draft a kicker gets the wooden spoon..

Unfortunatley I wont be able to attend as at Nick Offerman that night. I have never draft via Auto Pick before, I bet I end up with 5 WR and no QB :-(

I am not going to lie... GUTTED...and takes away a little of the excitment for fantasy football this season.

There should be but in my experience most trade offers last year were just attempts rip the other player off. We has a discussion about it on the thread where some lads actually seemed to think that was the point of trading! I mean, with that approach obviously nobody is going to trade at all.

I've made a few trades requests the last few years and most have been rejected I think. Honestly I dont think I'm great a quantifying what is a decent trade request versus a rip off attempt.
For this year for any potential trades I think I'll post in here first stating I have X player to trade and see what others think would be a fair request. This should help me get a better idea of what would be a fair trade.

Ah, I don't have a problem with any trade that someone thinks is fair, that's an honest attempt to offer a good deal. But I had things like an offer of someone's backup QB and a crappy D, and asking for my starting QB and good D. I mean it's not rocket science to turn it down, but it makes you suspicious of deals...
