But you have to set a particular window to do it (the draft) in.

I'd be up for the draft game if there's a spot still going spare.

I called off his players' names as they came marching up the steps behind him....All nice guys. They'll finish last. Nice guys. Finish last.

This makes five of us which is fine IMO. Do we all want to get it done today, or is there a better spot that works for us all?

Basically - the idea is that everyone's online at the same time for the draft to work properly.
There's a timer on your turn so you have to draft a player within that slot, then it moves on to the next person.

They give every player a rating so if you miss your pick they automatically assign you a top rated player; or, you can set up a preferred list in advance so if you're absent for your go for whatever reason, it'll automatically pick the top player from your list who hasn't already gone.

Well, I'm around pretty much all of this afternoon and evening, so quite happy to take part today if everyone else can manage it. But should be fine whenever really.

I have to specify a particular window as I'm setting the league up, y'see.

Would the four of you gents be around during the day again on Monday, for example? As I could set it up so the window is for regular office hours Monday. That'd give you the weekend to register, join, and get your preference lists set up in case you can't get online when your rotation comes around.

I see. Yeah, pretty sure any time will be more or less OK for me - summer holidays and that for me at the moment.

OK guys, anyone wanting to play the draft league, here's the deets.

Sign up at draftfantasyfootball.co.uk

Join the league: the league ID is

4pFuFzP33by2RTxcS

and the password is beefburgers

or click here

There are sixteen spots (so fifteen left) and the draft itself will happen on Monday throughout the day, kicking off at 10:30am.
I know - this is good for those who work office hours and no good for some other people. BUT - you can use the weekend to set up a preference list, so that even if you're not about for some of/ all of the draft, it will pick your desired players for you.
(I believe if you aren't there to pick someone and there's no-one on your preference list/no-one left as all your preferences are gone, the game will automatically give you a decent player.)

So everyone, please feel free to join in, and see you Monday :nod:

EDIT: changed the draft start time to 10:30am. This way people who won't see this until Monday morning still get chance to take part.

Aww don't do it during work hours! Lining them up in advance is no fun. :(

That's because the weekday daytime crowd are all offline ;-)

Strange stance to take.

DML, it really doesn't make too much of a difference if you draft live or not.

I can't commit to being around all day Monday either so I'm going to bow out. This auto-pick thing seems flawed and I'd prefer to do it all live anyway.
