    Its 8 pm Irish time on the 19th, so that would be 7am depending if the 16 hours ahead is eastern time i think. This post is 1.22 irish time if that helps!! Confusing alright..

    Yeah I keep boards on Irish time just so I know! Aren't the clocks due to change in Ireland in March? Not sure if it's before or after the draft. We change on the 30th.

    If it's 7am then I'm kinda f*cked cause I'll be en route to work. Hmmmmm....

    I just stuck it in when I was setting up. We'll change it to something that suits everyone...and there is a chat window in the live draft software

    Ok well if it can't be altered then its no bother but I'd like to be in. Should I just enter a team anyway for the time being?

    Yeah go for it. Anyone who can't make the draft can auto-rate all players in order of preference anyway...and even if you're entered but haven't done the auto rate, the computer will do the draft for you based on the Yahoo rankings.

    If anyone knows any baseball fans, tell 'em to join up coz we're still short a few numbers.

    I was thinking maybe the winner could get an MLB jersey of choice just to keep it interesting. Maybe if everyone who's in before the draft could ship me 10 euro on paypal or whatever, I can get the Jersey sent to the winner at the end of the year. If we've 10 people then 100 euro would get quite a nice jersey I think. Its up to you to trust me with your 10 euro. I won't disappear to Mexico I swear.

    Ok well I'm gonna get my spoke in first!

    Ideally morning/afternoon Irish time would suit me as it's evening time here e.g. 1pm over there is 10pm here.

    No offense mate but I'd say that's a bit early for the most of us...it certainly is for me. I would have thought 8/9pm Irish time would be best for most.

    This is going to be messy.

    I don't really mind as i may or may not attend and just leave it up to faith. But late in the evening would be better for anyone who is doing it from Ireland right?

    Yeah, I think Xavi's gonna be out numbered...just do the pre-ranking thing if you can't make it.

    League is still open Gilga

    :( Looks like I'm on to a loser so. Well if it's gonna be late at night Irish time could it be at 9pm? That means it's 6am for me so only have to get up a half hour earlier than usual.

    How long does the draft take btw?

    ok we could do it at 9pm or 10pm Irish, that might suit everyone best. It takes around an hour I think

    I originally selected the draft for tonight at 8pm, so we'll just let it run then I guess. Anyone that can't make it, make sure to pre-rank the guys you want so you stand a chance of getting them!
