YIKES!!!!!! I am under the wire, so I will take Aug 21. Oh benevolent one, you could not set yours an hour earlie? lolo Okay, it seems to work for everyone. I hate an early draft. Considering how many are already done, guess it's not that bad. TY TYTY Jersdal, u r a doll. Never let me forget it, but u r. lol

I voted for Monday 5th. I absolutely cannot do the 21st August. I am away in London all weekend with zero access to the internet. I also cannot do Sat Sept 3rd due to a family wedding. If i am being honest I made sure the trip to London happened when it did so it didnt conflict with any of the drafts we have coming up (both yours, the graveyard and another I am in with friends from my Wifes work) so for your drafts to now take place on the 21st is a bit gutting if I am being completely honest cos i will have to let the comp select for me which against friends and experienced FF players is pointless. Sorry for being a pain but to change the draft dates so late is difficult when other commitments have been arranged around the oroginal dates. Can it not be a midweek day? Why the need for it to be a weekend? I dont see Sunday 4th working either as we have the graveyard draft on that day so it would mean doing 3 drafts after each other. My other draft is on Tues Aug 30th. Sorry if I am coming across a bit blunt but Ive been looking forward to your leagues since last season and for me to fully enjoy them I need to be at the live draft which currently looks like I wont be.

Well it seems that finding a date good for everyone is next to impossible. And it is no ones fault, just real hard with so many people spread all over the world. I hope we can work out a date and time that suits everyone, but I'm starting to believe that won't happen.
Anyone else give any thought to doing it on here? Would take maybe up to a week, but everyone would get who they want and might be good in the long run. Also could be fun. Just not as fast as a live draft.

I thought Sept 4 was good, cuz having 3 in 1 day, you just set the day aside, one & done. If not, I will leave everything as it is. Sorry for the trouble Neil. I just want as many as possible to make it. I had NO idea Aug 21 would not work for you. Not a single person had a problem with that date, and I figured you'd be back from your vacation by then, and all is well. Guess if Sept 4th doesn't work either, it will be the same dates as it has been for 2 months now, and some will have to auto-draft. I didn't even know jersdal couldn't make it until just a week ago. So. Then a few new guys said they might not be able to (Tommyboy, that has to drive 3 hours back to college. Yahoo league is 6 PM, maybe he can get an early jump. I'm changing it back to Aug 28. BTW, Zac set his league for the same ecaxt time at my 3:30 NFL, after I said ANY time but that. Now he fried his computer, and hasn't been on much since. Doesn't even know how he can draft. You'd figure a 15 year old can borrow a laptop for a few hours.

we should probably vote on live draft or offline now since neil cant make it. I have bad news. The only time slots open at Yahoo for 8/28 are 9, 10, 11 AM. Tentative changed it to Mon, Labor Day Sept 5th at 4 PM, a date AND time that I'm pretty sure works for Neil (since he suggested it), and hoping it will work for everyone else. We got 3 or 4 guys in school, I can make it, probably Craig, 9 or 10 PM for jers, good. Does this work for everyone? There is no way way I could make the Yahoo draft offline at this late date, I don't think. With the 3 IDPs, 7 bench, probably 2 QBs if we cap at 10. You remember what a PITA the graveyard mocks were. lol

I did not anticipate that once I changed the time, the old slot might be gone. Ignorant me. I never changed a date in my FF life, so had no idea. The date ain't gonna suit everyone. Some sacrafices will be made. I'm sorry I ever touched this one at Yahoo. I figure you know the rules going in. Live & learn as a LM/commish. But never dreamed I couldn't get that time slot back. Guess it's a popular day for sure, and they didn't want to crash the server god forbid.

sooo what day are we lookin at then??? I could do anytime, and thinking most could do the weekend of Sept 3 - 5th, the 5th being Labor Day. Had NO idea that when you tentatively change a day, some time slots would be gone. I am so sorry about Aug 28th, but that is off-limits for some. Not perfect, just want to make it good for most. Mind you, I am available to draft 24/7. so agenda.

Just to clairify. Offline draft is in your living room Dive. Online non live draft is in this forum and we plug in the teams in league. And I don't give a shite about your yahooy league. hehe
sincerely Mod CS.
You're confusing me and probably everyone else. lol This day and age, imagine most would do your 'Online non live draft' unless you all wanna fly to Philly. Tough for even a big 1 bedroon, and big balcony. Kiddies could probably do fine but it's not for everyone. Cheesesteaks all around, just don't be here in the morning when I wake up.

Okay, I'd like this to be semi-official. I've changed the Yahoo draft to accomodate Neil & Jersy & Tommyboy (I think) to Sept 5 (Mon - Labor Day) at 4 PM EST. I'd like to change the NFL league from Aug 28 at 3:30 to Aug 28 at 6 PM, since 1) those were the 2 dates and time my original draft was (sorry jersdal) and 2) Zac made his league the same time. Or I could ask him to change his time. HOWEVER, if we can get a concensus for Sept 5 for my NFL league (like 6:30 PM or 1:30 PM), I'll do that.

Yay, finally got my Internet connection back! First of all, am I in your yahoo league? Second of all: You just go ahead with any date you want for your league, you can't please everyone, so I guess I'm the (un)lucky one to skip your draft Doesn't matter, I will still beat you anyways...

No, but you should be dammit!! And a good draft time for you. I don't want you having any excuses for losing. When did you lose your internet? Thought you'd been a little scarce.
