Yeah, but it would be nice to just do the draft over the weekend instead of having to be there at a specific time to get it done.

[Footsteps]

Sure - not a problem. And, thank you.

[56LightsOut56]

No specific time to get it done specific time to start yes. WE just have to have it finished before the actual 2 day break, RJ said he wanted to break over 2 days in the begining, so we have time. I doubt he will get the cases before the 18th or 19th anyways

[JasonH]

You guys have to realize that a lot of us won't be around this weekend to draft so it still won't get done any faster. It's been posted in the thread that the draft will start Monday at 6:30 in order to give the most people a chance to plan ahead and be online at that time. I feel you should stick to what has already been posted and agreed upon. It's already been stated here several times that the product doesn't go live for another 9 days so there's plenty of time to start the draft Monday and get it done in a reasonable amount of time well ahead of the release date.

Right, but people will want a chance to jostle for position.

[Redbirdgrad]

OK, just realize that my time is limited those 2 days, and I"m not sure why we're putting anything off now that everything is paid like was stated previously...

This might be the most misorganized break I've ever been a part of... but it is what it is I guess. Good luck everyone!

Can't you just run this like a regular draft?

Don't worry. This IS being run like a regular draft. I am just trying to get as much participation as I can so that this doesn't drag. If you are the #3 pick and you are working? I'm not going to do anything. You will pick when you pick. I will say though... if nothing is heard from a member after 24 hours we will have problems.

If anyone thinks they might not be able to make a timely pick over the course of MON-TUES-WED... please PM me. Maybe I can get a list of which teams you want in the order you want them. If you are not around and your slot is up? I'll look at your #1 team and go from there.

How is this "misorganized"? I have put out a plan and I'm trying to stick to it.

Robert - You are doing great, bro. Thank you!

[smkelly1]

So what if people can agree and start to pick teams this weekend ? Help speed up the process.

I cannot and will not stop you guys from trading ONCE THE RANDOMIZED list is posted. All I'm saying is that I will NOT start the official MEMBER-TEAM list until MON at the time posted. If you can trade your way up from the #4 pick to the #1 pick, go for it. Everyone needs to see in the thread though that both parties, or all 3 members (or whatever) agree on the swap.

If you guys have hammered out the entire Draft before Monday? cool... that makes life easy for me and everyone else. But you guys will go into PM mode/trade mode/haggle mode and all I will be able to see are the RESULTS.

[JasonH]

This isn't disorganized (misorganized isn't even a word). It's gone just as stated. Rudy is trying to accommodate as many people as possible. Everything has been clearly stated. The problem is when people get impatient and want to change things and move dates. That's when it becomes disorganized.

[smkelly1]

Thanks for the hard work. This will work. Can't wait for random

[rudyjustinfarrell]

Test test.. I've got the webcam up... let me know if it's working by posting in the Chat area, or posting here. If I can get at least 2 people, I'll randomize the lists at 10:15 PM EST...
