I sent a ticket asking if they could make his last to picks for him about 5 minutes ago. I read the rules on it and it said admin will help get the league started if a person doesn't pick within 48 of their time slot, atleast thats how I understood it. We'll see either way I think we will be able to start by the weekend at the latest.

last picks were due on sat..so we should already be past the 48 hour window. admin should be able to pick his last players and the stadium that he signed up for...can we have some nominations for his team name?? lol

Team Name:

Better Late than Never

Pee Stick's (Pregnancy/Late reference)

Blue Dots (same joke)

Dahs Team Names:

#4- I'm worth the wait?

#3- Is it my pick?

#2- Uh, I forgot

#1- I really don't give s sX*t if everyone has to wait for me, nor does anyone deserve an explanation (or is that too long?)

Wait for Me!
Dahs de later
I Found Waldo, Where's Dahs?

Dahs Procrastinators (instead of the German "Das")

Anyway, there's always one butt-munch in the group who does this in every draft league. Why should be expect differently?

overall I do not see the advantage of drafting live vs forum drafts

any word duece??

Advantages:
• Searches only bring up players who are available and meet league rules. No searching through pages of forum posts to make sure the guy you want hasn't been taken since the last time the draft summary was updated.
• No double drafting of players because of commissioner errors on draft lists.
• Owners have to buy and enter their teams and thus can't decide three rounds into the draft that they will bail.
• Automatic sitemail or (if league is set up for it, which I always do) email notification when it's time to make picks.

Disadvantages:
• If an owner vanishes early in the draft, you end up with a horrible team. I've been in about 20 online draft leagues and have seen this happen once. In a 24-team league, it's no more than a minor annoyance since 3 teams get 14 easy games and the other 8 in the league get 12.
• No easy way to proxy for an owner who will be away for part of the draft.

Overall, I greatly prefer the online draft mainly so I don't have to compare every search I do with a list of players taken.

Either way there's always the chance of a wait after the draft is done. In this case, we're waiting for dahs to return or admin to finish up the draft that was completed Sunday. In toddleduc's 80s draft, the clock ran out on the last round last Thursday and we're still waiting for four players to get their teams in. My experience is that the online draft leagues generally get started much more quickly, mostly because owners have already bought and entered their teams at least into the draft center.

Agreed. Live Drafts Rock.

My WISH - Progressive leagues can be run via live draft center where commishs can blacklist kept players

Yup I agree with you Fish Nasty. I would join alot more progessive leagues if drafts can be done in the draft center. I think the draft center is alot better than drafting in the fourms personally.

agreed, progressives with live draft...wonderful!!!!

Still no answer from admin......Maybe they physically went out looking for him?? I did say he had "gone missing" lol

Zzzzz

interesting. thanks for the perspective. its good to hear that this is not the norm.
