This is a difficult draft. Every team is going to be loaded.

Two interesting notes Ive observed so far.
1: I have no preconceived ideas on who is going to be drafted next because there are so many options and so many GOOD options.
2: having two picks close together could be a major advantage, especially later in the draft

Awesome! I was going to do this but now I see I don’t have to. Thanks.

Midge might be dealing with a hangover with the lack of updates.

Speaking of which, this draft is a little stressful.

Midge sleeps from 4am - 12pm est

If you’d like to follow along, I have a summary spreadsheet that helps me see the big picture.

Thanks, chewy!

Yeah, that’s great, thanks.

It sucks when you have 2 guys in 2 different price brackets that you really need/want, but you know you have to choose between them bc whichever one you don't pick will get drafted before you pick again.

When we have CDL #5, I think I will make a change in the drafting schedule. Round 1 will be untimed. For rounds 2 through 4, there will be some type of time limit. 12 hours? 16 hours? We will figure something out, a 24 hour clock is too much. For rounds 5 through 8 I want to make a schedule. It will be something like this…..person #1 drafts at noon, #2 at 12:20, #3 at 12:40 and so on until person #24 drafts at 7:40pm. 24 picks in 8 hours. You know exactly when your twenty minute window is. If your time slot happens to be at 5:40 and you know you will be in your car then you can send several people a proxy. Or if you want to you can give a buddy your cell phone number and they can call or text you (not while driving!) and get your pick and post it. Going between noon and 8:00pm should be a time window that is not too early or too late for the east coast or the west coast. We can work something out for all of our drafters from Switzerland.

Please let me know if you like this idea.

I am also considering using the 8 hour plan for rounds 7 and 8 of this draft.

Maybe rounds one and two will be untimed and we will go to the schedule for rounds 3 through 8. I don’t know. I think we can do better.

Alan 12:00 John Havlicek
Bob 12:20 Elgin Baylor
Chuck 12:40 Billy Cunningham
Dave 1:00 Jerry West
Eddie 1:20
Frank 1:40
Glumpo 2:00
Hank 2:20

It would be something like the above. If you’re scheduled to pick at 3:00 and you miss your window you can make your pick whenever you can get it in.
