Weekend Wrap and "Liked, Learned, Hated" right here -- How did tipping go?
one person coming on line does not mean the draft is dead, lol, we are continuing this way, a) because it is impossible to organise a live draft for 16 people and b) it is fine this way, just because 1 pick has taken a while doesnt mean anything, it isn't harder to pick at this stage in my opinion, i have been keeping a list the whole way through and would be able to pick in less then 5 minutes, as i think most people would, Mizza taking 50 hours isnt because he can't decide, he simply hasnt been online

these couple of picks has taken a while, yes but it is not really getting increasingly longer as the draft goes on, actually if you look at before woodson's last pick of Rackers it has been quite good, from pick 115 Cassius Clay Michael Turner to pick 142 cassius clay jerry porter, it took only 2 days 5 hours and 49 minutes, (from June 5 11.35 to June 7 17.24), that's 28 picks in just over two days, averaging at about a pick every 2 hours or so, not bad if you ask me, i think you are overreacting to this one pick taking so long, we'll be finished by mid july i reckon which is what i wanted, it is simply way too hard to organise 16 people to be online at the same time to do an online live draft
Thanx for the idea Vick>footy & dspeed. That's just a solution to all this waiting and second guessing. Besides, next season, we can start two weeks from the season kick-off, coz you know injuries/ supensions/ contract disputes can occur that can hamper your fantasy team. I know I've butchered my inuagral fantasy football team by by-passing the RB position. Oh well, live & learn I guess.
i hate to shoot down ideas, but i believe that having a list of preferences is also not that good, for example your preferences might work out tat you end up with 5 Rbs early or whatever, i know you can work it so you have an order of positions aswell but that then might mean someone misses out on a bargain, i have seen it happen in autodraft leagues which i have been a part of, personally i think this draft has worked really well, people are just abit worried after this wait, but on the whole it has been fine, starting late is ideal as you say but in the end it is very very very difficult to organise 16 people to be online at the one time, people have work, study, sport, family commitments etc which make it very hard, so whilst starting early isnt ideal, it is the same situation for everyone so we have to make the best of itA suggestion I propose for next season's Bf FDFL is that we arrange a time and everyone must submit thier 50 players in thier listed preference order in the 45m WINDOW. First in, best dressed as it will become the race to get in first to get first, second ect pick. Then either the commish rakes thru the listings and we have the draft worked out without a hint of hassle.
lol, perhaps he is just away for the weekend without a computer, i know when i go on holidays i dont have a computer so maybe he is just away, sure its an inconvenience but we have plenty of time, so lets just sit back and hope the boy shows himself
i have a feeling as soon as Miza makes his pick and others start doing the same that thiswill be forgotten and it will pick up again, i cant see people waiting 4 or 5 days on purpose to get an advantage or anything, anyway, hopefully in the next day or so he'll make his pick, then i have two Pmed picks waiting to go aswell
i am willing to wait up to a week to be honest, i realise it isnt completely ideal but i'd hate to make his pick for him only for him to turn up an hour later with a genuine excuse why he hadnt been online eg his computer gave up the ghost or he was away for a week or whatever, so a tentative deadline of friday perhaps
exactly it is a long weekend, id put money on him having had exams last week (for example my brother is 16 and had them last week finishing thursday), finished on thursday, checked in friday morning to see if he was up and he wasnt so he was heading off for the long weekend, a very plausible explanation
if people do it out of spite then they are a joke of a person to be frank, i think most people are mature enough to realise sometimes these things happen
correct, in terms of picking blind now, if roud 16 happens mid August, everyone will be picking under the same conditions, so it is not like some people pick all their team now and others in August, so we are all dealing with the same factors
lol, i think he has learnt his lesson and realised LT is the best there is, so might as well stick with them, if he were to jump on a team id say it would be the cards, up and coming team with a potentially potent offence
