Boards Division 5 Thread

CJC86

This is essentially last year's D6 again, right?

Guffy

more or less, and the relegated from div 5

Johnny_Fontane

welcome to Division 5! this is my third year here so i'm rubbish (or just unlucky) at this.

If you have any questions, drop me a line......

BigBadRob83

Thanks for the work Commish

decies

Looking forward to it

Johnny_Fontane

waiting on one more person to email me back their details and two more people to join the league.

We'll then push forward and try and organise a draft date. I'll do a quick poll.

Johnny_Fontane

Ok, so everyone has signed up.

I have emailed everyone with the details of the poll for the draft day/time. Ideally everyone is available for it, if you have any special anniversaries, births, etc., just leave a message here and we will try and get everyone facilitated.

Filled it in, seems bit limited though as only Sun/Mon/Tue. No options for Wed or Thu.
Season opening kick-off (and so roster deadline) not until 01:30 Friday morning

Johnny_Fontane

I agree and can add wednesday/thursday now. In my experience (third year as GM), these are done generally on the sun/mon/tues

I'll be on autopilot for the draft(Super Troopers FC). Am away for the first two weeks in September.

Sure the draft is only a formality, the real action happens on the waiver wire and through sneaky three-way trades where everybody involved is getting screwed without knowing it.

edit: I've filled in the doodle poll just so that the numbers add up.

Guffy

can u put a link to the poll here please. have no access to that email anymore

some interesting results....decies can only make one time and thats on the sunday. The sunday of dublin v kerry aswell ::cool:
Congoose also only available sunday....

deise_boi

Difficult for me to say which times suit due to my work roster being done weekly. I put down my most likely times off, but I'll try my best to work around it if it doesnt suit!

Johnny_Fontane

yep, no worries......I think most people will try work around it. I, like most, could probably do most times, so we can certainly find a happy medium.

The draft, for me, is the best part of the whole thing.

Johnny_Fontane

just waiting on two people Darklighter and Boccy23 to do their vote for the draft.....

looks like 10pm on tuesday 3rd is the leading time at the moment. Can congoose and robluvshandegg make it at that time?

We need to ideally have most people there for it, if possible.

boccy23

Tuesday @ 10pm suits me. Won't get a chance to fill in survey today with work.

darklighter

Tuesday the 3rd at 10 works for me too

robluvshandegg

I can make 10pm on Tuesday 3rd September work!

Johnny_Fontane

Draft all set for 10pm on Tuesday, 3rd September.

Good luck all and see you there!

I updated NFL.com with the draft date and time, so we are good to go.

JF

Congoose

I'll be at work, but will bring my laptop and take a suspiciously long tea break! :pac:

decies

Should be ok for Tuesday at ten .

Has the draft order been set or will it be the usual randomised 30 minutes prior?

Normally its 1h to 30 mins before.

D5 is the best of all the divisions.

Thanks man.

Was just asking cos am in another NFL.com league, and it says "Draft Order: The draft order will be randomized before the draft."

Didn't see that anywhere for the Div 5 league

BigBadRob83

Just found it, our draft order has already been set.
Was this done randomly?

Looks completely different to my othe league. Don't think it will get randomised again unless Commish does something

BizzyC

Damn!!!
I missed the draft and my auto pick team is awful now.

My own fault, I was sat there last night thinking the draft was tomorrow.
For some reason I had in my head that today would be Tuesday.
