I don't know what everyone thinks about this, but maybe we can come up with some times that we all try to log on and bust out a couple of picks.
The best for me would be 7pm PST. I will be on here everyday at that time.

I am on the eastern time zone (vermont), but I work nights on Wed., Thurs., Fri. and every other Saturday, so I will be in here all the time during those nights. On Sun., Mon. and Tues. nights I will be in here until a little after 11pm eastern, but will definitely hang around later if it looks like things are moving quickly.

i dont really have a set time frame thats best for my schedule, im in and out of the office all day at work, so i can randomly check during the day, and ive got the mon-fri 7-4 schedule so im usually free in the evenings...my wife is going outta town tomorrow till sunday, so i can definitely be worthless and sit on the computer for the next 3 days

Actually we tried this in my other league....10 out of 12 were there, but one asbentee was the 3rd pick. Needless to say we got through 2 picks, gave up, and continued the same way

Yeah, I know that will happen. But I just figure we can all go on like we normally do, but if we know of a specific time where a couple of people will be on then maybe we will be a little more motivated to get on.

I should be available for the better part of most days and if not will at least check the board frequently enough to pick within a reasonable time. Weekends I'm free all the time, except for Saturday Nights after 11pm Est.

No, I'm just saying that the times I am at work should be alot of the "late night times" everyone is drafting at. I sleep very little (2 young children!), so, I will be checking in often when I'm not at work also. Thanks for the offer though.

Why dont we give 7 pm PST a shot tonight - still early on the East Coast might be able to knock out some rounds?

I was thinking we should just make it 7pm East and West Coast. Seems like we're split between West and East Coast. So everyone should try to get on at 7 on their own time and of course check back in whenever they can at other times

Just an FYI. I will be out of the country the week before the season starts. I am getting very concerned we are not going to be able to finish our drafts in time. I think we have to commit to a time where EVERYONE will show up for at least an hour or two (or picks will be made for them) in the next couple of weeks. That way we can plow through at least 10 rounds. It would of course have to be a time everyone is available but we could do it. I was a bit sceptical when I heard it would be a message board draft in the first place since I have heard of a lot of people having problems getting it going with this format. Please let me know if we are committed to getting this and then the prospect draft taken care of in a timely manner.

The fact that you will be out of the country before the season starts will have no affect on this draft. The draft will be long over before that. In 2 days we have completed 3 rounds. If we didn't run into a minor problem that I am in the process fixing, then we would have finished maybe 4 or 5. We are progressing very well.
I just spent the last 2 hours contacting, posting, etc. everyone I know to find a different owner on Valentines night. My wife is extremely mad at me, but I felt this was something I needed to take care of in order to keep the league happy. I have 3 candidates as of right now and I'm working on the specifics, we should have another owner real soon and then we'll be back to normal.
Most of us agreed on that we will all try to make it to the board around 7PM EST or PST. As well as continuously checking it throughout the day to see if it is our turn. I will not penalize someone who can't make it at those times. We all lead different lives and I would hate to penalize someone if something came up. I for one have an 18 month old daughter and a wife who is 6 months pregnant. Something could come up to where I wouldn't be able to make it to a mandatory time. But as you guys can see I have been committed enough to where I will always make time for this league. There has been a rule in place that if you can not make a pick within 12 hours, then I will make one for you. If you know ahead of time that you will not be able to make it in time, then contact me to arrange something else. Many members have done so already.
I think we all need to relax for a minute. Take a breather. Look at your teams and start talking nuts to me and have some fun. This league is my little project and I am working to make this the best league I've ever seen. It's very rare to see such a league like this to flow flawlessly. We were bound to have a hang up at some point. Luckily enough it came in the second day so that can be easily fixed. As of right now, I'm extremely pleased with everyone's participation and competitiveness. You all deserve a round of applause right now for making this league what it is so far. Let's continue to keep going and continue to have fun! If anyone has any problems or questions, please feel free to PM, email, text, or call me.
